Synopsis
Tai and Joe take Matt's boat to a castle on an island. Upon entering, they find lots of Gekomon and Otamamon rushing around, running various errands for 'the princess', who turns out to be none other than Mimi. When Tai and Joe tell her she has to go, she betrays them by having them thrown out by the servant Digimon. Tai and Joe wonder why these servants follow her orders, and they take them to their slumbering master, ShogunGekomon, who will only awaken after hearing a good singer. Mimi keeps them serving her otherwise she won't sing for them. After attempting to record Mimi's voice with help from, Tai, Joe, Agumon, Gomamon and Palmon are thrown in jail. After a bad dream, Mimi realises what a fool she's been, and decides to sing for the Gekomon and Otamamon. When ShogunGekomon awakens, he is less than pleased and blasts everyone with the horns on his back. He is eventually defeated by MetalGreymon, and Mimi joins Tai and Joe as they set off to join the rest of the group.

Continuity errors

 * According to an earlier episode, Togemon in Toy Town (English dub), Mimi is an awful singer. However, this episode places emphasis on Mimi having a great singing voice.
 * In the English dub, during ShogunGekomon's analysis, Gekomon refers to him as "Shogunmon".

Animation errors

 * Just after Mimi leaves the others locked in the dungeon, a view of the length of the dungeon pathway shows Palmon in front of a brick wall on one side of the prison cell (the side that she should be behind), though she is still seen behind the metal bars of the cell.

Dubbing changes

 * The song sung by Mimi in the original episode is the Japanese ending theme, I Wish, rather than a song about trying to sing a song. In fact, the next episode was the last one in which this ending theme would be used (in the Japanese series).

Real-world references

 * The title of this episode is a variation on Princess Mononoke, a film from Studio Ghibli.

Miscellaneous trivia

 * ShogunGekomon announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
 * The episode was first aired in English with the typo "Karoake" instead of "Karaoke". This was corrected for the re-runs.
 * Otamamon, Gekomon and ShogunGekomon are all from the same evolutionary line, being Rookie, Champion and Ultimate, respectively.
