    "Haniwa Art Festival."
[01:34] Narrator
    Apparently, Gunma-chan and his friends
    received an invitation from Haniwa-san.
[01:40] Aoma
    Haniwa Art Festival...?
[01:43] Gunma-chan
    They say it's real fun!
[01:45] Meemi
    Fun how?
[01:47] Gunma-chan
    Real fun!
[01:51] Aoma+Meemi
    Right...
[01:53] Aoma
    Whoa! This is huge!
[01:56] Meemi
    What is this...?

[01:59] Meemi
    Haniwa Art Museum?
[02:02] Haniwa A
    Welcome...
[02:04] Hawiwas
    ...to the Haniwa Art Festival!
[02:06] Gunma-chan+Meemi+Aoma
    Hello!
[02:07] Haniwas
    Hello.
[02:08] Diver
    Well, well, well!
[02:10] Diver
    Gunma-chan, how have you been?
[02:13] Gunma-chan
    For sure!
[02:15] Aoma
    Who's that?
[02:16] Diver
    Art is... a big bang!
[02:20] Narrator
    This is the artist Diver Kuhatsu.
[02:24] Aoma
    Who?
[02:26] Haniwa A
    We asked him to serve
    as the Art Festival Supervisor.
[02:31] Gunma-chan
    Supervisor...?
[02:33] Narrator
    If you've never heard this term, please ask
    someone nearby or look it up on the internet.
[02:37] Diver
    Yes. I'm not just an artist.
[02:41] Diver
    I also work to spread the arts to the world.
[02:45] Haniwa B
    He's the judge of our Haniwa art.
[02:47] Haniwa C
    He teaches us the value of the arts.
[02:51] Haniwa D
    Thanks to him, there's now a
    huge art boom in our world of Haniwas.
[02:55] Gunma-chan+Meemi+Aoma
    Wow...
[03:12] Meemi
    Wow, these are so cool!
[03:14] Aoma
    Yeah, but what is it?
[03:16] Haniwa A
    Don't you see? It's art.
[03:19] Gunma-chan
    It sure is!
[03:21] Aoma
    Wait, you get this stuff?
[03:23] Gunma-chan
    Sure!
[03:25] Diver
    Right you are!
[03:26] Diver
    Everything here is a piece of art...
[03:29] Diver
    Which means they're a part of the arts!
[03:33] Haniwa A
    Supervisor Mr. Diver
    has accepted our work as art!
[03:36] Haniwas
    It's art!
[03:39] Aoma
    Why should anyone decide if it's art or not?
[03:42] Haniwa A
    It's only natural that
    someone sets the standard!
[03:47] Haniwa B
    And that someone has to be a figure of
    authority with knowledge in that field.
[03:52] Haniwa C
    It's simply common practice.
[03:54] Haniwa D
    You should memorize that
    for when you're older.
[03:57] Aoma
    Eh, I dunno...
[03:59] Meemi
    Aoma, we were invited as guests today.
[04:03] Meemi
    You probably shouldn't get too nit-picky.
[04:06] Aoma
    Y-Yeah...
[04:18] Diver+Gunma-chan
    Wow... this is... art!
[04:23] Haniwa A
    Wow! Supervisor Mr. Diver...
[04:26] Haniwa B
    ...and honorary Haniwa Tribe member
    Gunma-chan have approved it as art!
[04:30] Haniwas
    It's art! Art!
[04:33] Meemi
    Congratulations, Haniwa-san.
[04:35] Haniwa D
    Thank you, Meemi,
[04:37] Haniwa D
    for being here to witness Haniwa's
    tribal art reach the next level.
[04:44] Aoma
    Um... I think they're all pretty good.
[04:47] Aoma
    Maybe you don't need
    anyone else's approval...
[04:52] Haniwa A
    This is our most significant
    work right now... Performance Art!
[04:59] Aoma+Gunma-chan
    Whoa...
[05:01] Haniwas
    Haniwa! Haniwa! Haniwa!
[05:04] Aoma+Gunma-chan+Meemi
    Whoa...!

    If you've never heard of
    "deoxyribonucleic acid",
[05:16] Narrator
    please ask someone at home
    or look it up on the internet.

[05:31] Sign
    ...will warm your "art"!
[05:33] Haniwas
    Haniwa ha-ha-ha!
[05:38] Gunma-chan
    This is...
[05:44] Diver
    This is... not art!
[05:47] Diver
    It's simply entertainment!
[05:49] Haniwas
    What?! So no approval?
[05:53] Gunma-chan
    Really? I think it's art!
[06:00] Diver
    How could you say that, Gunma-chan?!
[06:02] Diver
    There's no way this is art!
[06:05] Diver
    As Supervisor Diver Kuhatsu, I swear by it!
[06:10] Gunma-chan
    Really? I still think it's art.
[06:16] Diver
    No! It's not art!
[06:18] Gunma-chan
    Yes, it is!
[06:19] Diver
    It's not art!
[06:20] Gunma-chan
    Yes, it is!
[06:21] Diver
    It's not art!
[06:22] Gunma-chan
    Yes, it is!
[06:23] Diver
    It's not art!
[06:23] Gunma-chan
    Yes, it is!
[06:25] Aoma
    I don't really get art, but
    if sculptures and drawings can be art...
[06:28] Aoma
    shouldn't dance and gymnastics be art, too?
[06:34] Meemi
    Wait... I feel like you might
    actually be right on this one.
[06:39] Meemi
    Weird...
[06:39] Aoma
    I don't like your tone.
[06:42] Diver
    It's not art!
[06:45] Gunma-chan
    Then... it's fine if it's not!
[06:49] Haniwas
    Whaaaat?!
[06:56] Diver
    I don't want to accept this as art, but...
[07:00] Diver
    The idea of art changes over time...
[07:04] Diver
    In order to stay
    at the center of the arts...
[07:08] Diver
    I must take in what's
    popular among the masses.
[07:10] Diver
    Otherwise, I'll be left
    behind as times change!
[07:15] Diver
    Art may sometimes call for bold change...
[07:20] Diver
    Alas! This is art!
[07:23] Narrator
    Art can be personal to each artist,
[07:25] Narrator
    but finished pieces should gain support
    from the masses to become known.
[07:32] Narrator
    Perhaps it's necessary for artists
    to "read the room" when in public.
[07:38] Diver
    Express what you like
    in however way you wish!
[07:42] Diver
    Art is... a big bang!
[07:47] Gunma-chan
    Art is fun.
[07:48] Diver
    Precisely! Art can also be born from fun!
[07:53] Diver
    Everything in this world is art!
[07:56] Diver+Gunma-chan
    Art is... a big bang!
[08:01] Narrator
    Art can be so wonderful.
[08:03] Gunma-chan
    Art Power... 100%!

[08:18] All
    Thank you for this meal!
[08:23] Gunma-chan
    This is yummy!
[08:25] Yuumi
    Of course it is, Mom's a great cook!
[08:28] Gunma-chan
    Oh, right. Mom made this.
[08:31] Dad
    Dad cooks sometimes, too, you know.
[08:34] Mom
    People don't get credit
    for doing it "sometimes".
[08:36] Dad
    Right... Sorry...
[08:41] Mom
    Honey, what time will you be home tonight?
[08:44] Dad
    I might be a little late. I'll let you know.
[08:47] Mom
    Okay.
[08:49] Dad
    I'm off!
[08:52] All
    Have a good day!

[09:08] Mom
    Laundry time! Why don't you two change?
[09:13] Mom
    You really love that outfit.
[09:15] Gunma-chan
    Yeah, I'm Gunma-chan!
[09:17] Narrator
    It's a bit complicated.
[09:26] Mom
    Let's get you squeaky clean.
[09:34] Mom
    Okay. Thank you,
    I'll be there in the afternoon.
[09:41] Mom
    Oh, my! Look at the time.
[09:47] Mom
    Lunch is ready!
[09:49] Gunma-chan+Yuumi
    Okay!
[09:51] All
    Thank you for this meal!
[09:57] Gunma-chan
    This is yummy!
[09:59] Mom
    You're welcome.
[10:02] Gunma-chan
    Today, you made breakfast
    and put the dishes away,
[10:06] Gunma-chan
    did the laundry, cleaned the house,
    and then made lunch.
[10:11] Mom
    That's right. You were watching?
[10:14] Yuumi
    I thought you were just
    rolling around being lazy.
[10:17] Gunma-chan
    I may still be a kid,
    but Gunma-chan's a deep thinker.
[10:21] Yuumi
    I read books and learned
    a lot of new things today.
[10:30] Yuumi
    Why so silent all the sudden?
[10:32] Gunma-chan
    I'm not being silent, I'm thinking!
[10:35] Yuumi
    About what?
[10:41] Yuumi
    I bet you aren't thinking at all.
[10:43] Gunma-chan
    Yes, I am!
[10:47] Mom
    I have to pick up some stuff for my store
    and go grocery shopping in the afternoon.
[10:52] Mom
    Who wants to come with me?
[10:53] Gunma-chan+Yuumi
    I do!
[11:15] Yuumi
    Mom, can I get this candy?
[11:19] Mom
    You got some candy last time
    we were here, remember?
[11:22] Yuumi
    You're right, but... Onii-chan...
[11:29] Yuumi
    Onii-chan said he would "cry and throw
    a fit on the floor" if you don't get us candy.
[11:39] Mom
    Gunma-chan!
[11:41] Yuumi
    You can't take Onii-chan anywhere!
[11:43] Yuumi
    It would be a bad example if you
    bought candy after a tantrum like that.
[11:47] Yuumi
    Good thing I took the initiative and
    said something before it was too late.
[11:52] Yuumi
    Thank goodness!
[11:54] Gunma-chan
    Huh? Huh? Huh?!
[12:01] Yuumi
    Aren't you glad, Onii-chan?
[12:04] Gunma-chan
    Something's not right...
[12:07] Mom
    Prices are going up
    for everything these days...
[12:12] Store Announcement
    We are beginning our discounted
    items sale starting now.
[12:17] Mom
    I better get going!
[12:18] Mom
    Let's go!
[12:27] Dad
    I'm home!
[12:30] All
    Thank you for this meal!
[12:34] Gunma-chan
    This is yummy!
[12:36] Yuumi
    One of my favorites!
[12:38] Dad
    Mom's cooking is the best.
[12:42] Mom
    Flattery won't get you brownie points.
[12:46] Gunma-chan
    That was a great meal!
[12:49] Gunma-chan
    So delicious.
[12:56] Gunma-chan
    Mom worked morning, day,
    and night to cook us meals,
[13:01] Gunma-chan
    put dishes away, do laundry,
    clean, and go shopping for
[13:04] Gunma-chan
    Gunma-chan, Yuumi, and Dad all
    while doing her own job!
[13:10] Gunma-chan
    After rolling, rolling, rolling,
    and rolling around all day,
[13:15] Gunma-chan
    I realized that Mom is a super,
    super, super, super Mom!
[13:41] Gunma-chan
    Gunma Power!
[13:49] Mom
    Oh, my shoulders feel
    so light all the sudden!
[14:01] Mom
    Yup, this is great!
    I hope you all appreciate Mom!
[14:08] Narrator
    See, everyone? Make sure to appreciate Mom.
[14:12] Narrator
    I'll repeat that again
    because it's very important.
[14:14] Narrator
    Let's all make sure to appreciate our moms.
[14:17] Gunma-chan
    Okay!
[14:20] Dad
    You know, Dad cleans the bathtub and toilet!
[14:25] Narrator
    This is what we call "dasoku" in Japanese.
[14:28] Narrator
    Huh? What's "dasoku", you ask?
[14:30] Narrator
    As you can tell, it's spelled
    with the kanjis for "snake" and "foot".
[14:33] Sign
    Dasoku
[14:34] Narrator
    In other words, it means "something
    unnecessary and uncalled for".
[14:38] Dad
    Hey! I work hard, too!
[14:43] Gunma-chan

[15:01] Akio
    Rejoice, kids! I'm taking
    you somewhere amazing today!
[15:05] Gunma-chan+Meemi+Aoma
    Yay!
[15:07] Akio
    And you'll get to eat something awesome!
[15:11] Gunma-chan+Meemi+Aoma
    Yay!
[15:13] Aoma
    Is it curry?
[15:14] Gunma-chan
    Or hamburg steak!
[15:16] Meemi
    Or maybe spaghetti!
[15:20] Akio
    It's udon.
[15:22] Gunma-chan+Meemi+Aoma
    Whaaat?!
[15:25] Aoma
    I'm not a big fan of udon...
[15:28] Meemi
    I like hot udon noodles.
[15:31] Gunma-chan
    Gunma-chan loves udon!
[15:34] Aoma
    Gunma-chan, you love anything!
[15:38] Gunma-chan
    Yeah, I guess.
[15:40] Akio
    Dear children of Gunma...
    You'll be shocked when you try it!
[15:47] Akio
    So right now, we're
    headed towards Udon Kaido.
[15:51] Meemi
    Udon Kaido?
[15:53] Akio
    Udon Kaido is a street with a bunch
    of udon noodle restaurants alongside it.
[15:58] Aoma
    Wow...
[15:59] Akio
    Our final destination is
    Mizusawa Udon along Udon Kaido!
[16:03] Akio
    What awaits us there is
    the best udon you'll ever have!
[16:07] Gunma-chan
    Cool!
[16:10] Aoma
    Alright, now I'm curious.
[16:12] Meemi
    Yeah!
[16:14] Akio
    Miraculously, every udon place
    on that street is amazing.
[16:17] Akio
    Today, I want you to put your trust in
    me and try cold udon noodles.
[16:23] Aoma
    Why?
[16:25] Akio
    Uncle Akio was born before you kids.
[16:29] Meemi+Aoma
    Yeah...?
[16:31] Gunma-chan
    You sure were.
[16:32] Sign
    Born before
[16:32] Akio
    Which means I am literally your "sensei" in life.
[16:35] Sign
    Teacher
[16:38] Akio
    And I've had much more
    experience trying udon...
[16:43] Akio
    Which makes me "Udon Sensei"!
[16:46] Gunma-chan
    Yay! I'll do as you say, Udon Sensei!
[16:49] Aoma
    Okay, I guess?
[16:51] Meemi
    I can't say I'm fully on board,
    but I'm definitely curious to say the least.
[16:57] Akio
    Great!
[16:59] Akio
    One might say curiosity is fundamental
    to our behavioral patterns!
[17:04] Gunma-chan
    What's that mean?
[17:07] Akio
    It means it's important
    to feel the urge to know.
[17:10] Narrator
    Apparently so...
[17:19] Akio
    This is it!
[17:21] Gunma-chan
    Yay!
[17:23] Waiter
    Welcome!
[17:26] Meemi
    Wow, it's huge!
[17:28] Aoma
    It's like a family restaurant!
[17:30] Akio
    As your Udon Sensei... that's one
    comment we should keep between us.
[17:36] Gunma-chan
    Now I'm having fun!
[17:42] Waiter
    Welcome, folks.
[17:44] Akio
    Let's see...
[17:47] Akio
    Can we get four Mori-Udon
    and Maitake Mushroom Tempura?
[17:49] Akio
    Oh, and Tamagoyaki!
[17:51] Waiter
    Sure. Just one moment.
[17:54] Akio
    This is where the true test begins
    for udon restaurants.
[17:57] Akio
    They don't boil noodles
    until orders come in.
[18:00] Narrator
    To provide some background,
    udon is a traditional Japanese cuisine.
[18:05] Narrator
    It's made from flour, which is kneaded,
    stretched, then cut into wide noodle strips.
[18:10] Narrator
    Mizusawa Udon is said to have
    originated from Mizusawa Shrine,
[18:12] Sign
    1,300 years ago
[18:12] Narrator
    which has a history of 1,300 years.
[18:14] Narrator
    They say it originally began
    as a food shared with shrine visitors,
[18:19] Narrator
    a tradition dating back roughly 400 years.
[18:19] Sign
    400 years ago
[18:22] Narrator
    Mizusawa Udon is made
    with only three ingredients:
[18:25] Narrator
    Mizusawa water, flour, and salt.
[18:27] Narrator
    The flour is stepped
    on repeatedly to stretch it,
[18:30] Narrator
    cut into strips and laid out
    to dry under the sun twice.
[18:34] Narrator
    Slightly thicker than typical udon noodles,
[18:36] Narrator
    it's known for its chewy texture
    and clear, white color.
[18:43] Gunma-chan+Meemi+Aoma
    Wow!
[18:45] Meemi
    This udon is so pretty!
[18:47] Akio
    Mhmm!
[18:49] Aoma
    That Maitake Tempura looks awesome!
[18:51] Akio
    Mhmm!
[18:53] Gunma-chan
    This Tamagoyaki is so... huge!
[18:55] Akio
    Y-Yeah... I suppose.
[18:59] Akio
    Alright, let's feast!
[19:00] Gunma-chan+Meemi+Aoma
    Yay! Thank you for this meal!
[19:03] Sign
    Sesame-based sauce
[19:03] Sign
    Soy-based sauce
[19:06] Gunma-chan
    Which one should I dip into?
[19:09] Akio
    Freedom... you make the rules.
[19:13] Gunma-chan
    Freedom?
[19:15] Akio
    It's all up to you!
[19:18] Akio
    Sesame sauce! Soy sauce!
[19:21] Akio
    You can pick whichever you like,
    and dip them however you wish.
[19:25] Akio
    You can even eat them
    without dipping them in the sauce.
[19:29] Akio
    No one minds either
    way―that's Mizusawa Udon!
[19:31] Gunma-chan
    Cool!
[19:38] All
    So good!
[19:39] Akio
    That's right!
[19:41] Akio
    When the food's this good,
    that's the only plausible response.
[19:48] Aoma
    The Maitake Tempura is awesome, too!
[19:50] Gunma-chan
    My mouth is filled with
    the perfect level of sweetness...
[19:53] Gunma-chan
    When I gulp down the eggs,
    it's like they're saying,
[19:56] Gunma-chan
    "Hello, Gunma-chan!"
    as they enter my belly!
[20:00] Gunma-chan
    This truly is... the Yellow
    Diamond of Tamagoyaki~!
[20:07] Akio
    I admire your expressiveness...
[20:11] Narrator
    That was when Gunma-chan found himself so
    moved by the deliciousness of Mizusawa Udon
[20:13] Gunma-chan
    Gunma Power!
[20:15] Narrator
    that he unleashed his Gunma Power!
[20:25] Gunma-chan
    Huh... wait...
[20:28] Akio
    Good eye!
[20:31] Akio
    This is another detail
    to showcase the udon's beauty!
[20:36] Meemi
    Looks like your typical false bottom to me.
[20:41] Akio
    Hey, now! That's your opinion and it
    needs to stay between you and Udon Sensei!
[20:48] Meemi

    Do you enjoy omikuji fortunes?
[23:06] Narrator
    It's not fun when you pull "bad luck",
    but "great luck" is the best!
[23:10] Narrator
    It'll put you in such a good mood,
    you may become nice to everyone.
[23:13] Narrator
    Or you may even feel like
    you can't lose any challenge.
[23:15] Narrator
    Oh, but if you ever
    feel like you're in pain,
[23:17] Narrator
    please make sure to visit your doctor.
[23:20] Narrator
    Regardless of your fortune results,
    you'll get better right away.
[23:24] Narrator
    Things are a little more happy
    with Gunma-chan.
