[01:34] Narrator
    Today, Gunma-chan is visiting a friend.
[01:39] Narrator
    It seems like this friend
    is a bit... strange.
[01:52] Gunma-chan
    Hello, Wise One!
[01:55] Wise One
    Hello, Gunma-chan.
[01:59] Narrator
    This man is the Wise One.
[02:02] Narrator
    He has a reputation of knowing everything,
[02:05] Narrator
    but supposedly, he doesn't
    like interacting with people.
[02:08] Gunma-chan
    I'm here because there's tons I wanna know.
[02:11] Wise One
    Is that so?
[02:14] Wise One
    You're a very highly curious child.
[02:17] Gunma-chan
    Highly curious?
[02:19] Wise One
    It means you long to know many things.
[02:23] Gunma-chan
    Yeah, I do wanna know many things.
[02:27] Wise One
    Well, that is a noble trait.
[02:29] Wise One
    Curiosity leads to the evolution of man.
[02:32] Gunma-chan
    Evolution?
[02:34] Wise One
    It means... to progress forward.
[02:38] Gunma-chan
    Ohh...
[02:47] Wise One
    So what would you like to know today?
[02:51] Gunma-chan
    The day after today is tomorrow, right?
[02:53] Wise One
    Why, yes.
[02:55] Gunma-chan
    And once it's tomorrow,
    that day becomes today, right?
[02:59] Wise One
    Of course.
[03:00] Gunma-chan
    So, if today isn't actually today,
[03:03] Gunma-chan
    and tomorrow is also today,
[03:05] Gunma-chan
    would that make every day "today"?
[03:16] Wise One
    Gunma-chan will one day
    become an adult, right?
[03:19] Gunma-chan
    That's right. I can't wait to grow up.
[03:23] Wise One
    Gunma-chan as a child
    and Gunma-chan as an adult...
[03:27] Wise One
    One and the same,
    but also different, are they not?
[03:30] Wise One
    This day we call today is here and now.
[03:32] Wise One
    And while tomorrow
    and the day after that will
[03:35] Wise One
    also be called "today",
    they are completely different.
[03:39] Wise One
    Every day is a new and beautiful "today".
[03:43] Wise One
    By the time you grow up, Gunma-chan,
[03:46] Wise One
    there will be another "today"
    with you as an adult.
[03:55] Gunma-chan
    This is fun!
[03:58] Wise One
    Knowledge helps us to see
    the world around us better.
[04:03] Gunma-chan
    Wise One?
[04:06] Gunma-chan
    Are you happy here?
[04:11] Wise One
    That's a difficult question.
[04:14] Wise One
    What do we mean by "happiness"?
[04:21] Wise One
    When we eat delicious food, we feel...?
[04:25] Gunma-chan
    Happy...
[04:27] Wise One
    When we play games
    with our friends, we feel...
[04:30] Gunma-chan
    Happy.
[04:31] Wise One
    When Gunma's skies are clear and blue,
[04:33] Wise One
    and we see people smiling
    in the streets, we feel...
[04:37] Gunma-chan
    Happy!
[04:39] Wise One
    That's right.
[04:42] Wise One
    "Happiness" is something we feel.
[04:51] Wise One
    So yes, indeed. I am happy.
[04:56] Gunma-chan
    Great!
[05:12] Gunma-chan
    Don't you run out of things you wanna know?
[05:17] Wise One
    Not at all.
[05:19] Wise One
    The more you learn
    about what you want to know,
[05:22] Wise One
    the more you find other
    things you want to know.
[05:26] Wise One
    Does this interest you?
[05:27] Gunma-chan
    Yeah!
[05:28] Wise One
    What's important is to yearn for knowledge,
[05:30] Wise One
    and then also to find
    interest in what we learn.
[05:36] Gunma-chan
    Right.
[05:39] Wise One
    And for me, I find great joy
    in speaking with you like this.
[05:45] Gunma-chan
    Really?
[05:46] Wise One
    It's not only about gaining knowledge.
[05:48] Wise One
    There's far greater joy in sharing
    what you've learned with others.
[05:59] Narrator
    It seems Gunma-chan can awaken his
[06:02] Narrator
    Gunma Power when he
    is feeling happy, as well.
[06:16] Gunma-chan
    Gunma Power!
[06:36] Gunma-chan
    Learning's so fun!
[06:39] Wise One
    Cherish the friends you've met,
[06:42] Wise One
    and get to know them as best as you can.
[06:44] Gunma-chan
    Is there an end to wanting to learn?
[06:47] Wise One
    No, there isn't.
[06:50] Gunma-chan
    So if there's no end, it lasts forever?
[06:53] Wise One
    It lasts forever and ever.
[06:55] Gunma-chan
    And ever and ever and ever?
[06:57] Wise One
    And ever and ever and ever and ever.
[07:00] Gunma-chan
    And ever and ever and ever
    and ever and ever?
[07:03] Wise One
    And ever and ever and ever
    and ever and ever and ever!
[07:08] Gunma-chan
    So much fun!
[07:10] Wise One
    By the way, Gunma-chan.
[07:12] Gunma-chan
    What is it?
[07:13] Wise One
    The next time that you come by,
    could you bring me something to eat?
[07:22] Wise One
    In order to gain as much
    knowledge as possible,
[07:24] Wise One
    I recommend eating abundantly, getting
    proper sleep, and a stress-free lifestyle.
[07:31] Gunma-chan
    Okay!
[07:37] Gunma-chan
    Gun-gun-gun, gun-gun-gun, gun-gun.
[07:41] Gunma-chan
    I'm home!
[07:43] Mom/Dad
    Welcome home!
[07:46] Narrator
    The more eager you are to learn,
[07:49] Narrator
    the more fun you have in the world.
[07:52] Narrator
    I hope you all do as Gunma-chan did,
[07:54] Narrator
    and ask questions, think hard,
    and have fun with friends.
[07:58] Narrator
    That way, tomorrow's "today" may
    turn out to be a little more fun.

    Hello!
[08:54] Gunma-chan
    Can you all not hear me?
[08:57] Tama
    Sorry, man.
[08:59] Tama
    We just don't feel like talking
    to anyone right now.
[09:05] Nora
    I get it.
[09:06] Nora
    You came up to us cause you know who we are.
[09:11] Gunma-chan
    Nope.
[09:13] Meows
    What?!
[09:14] Tora
    You dunno who we are?!
[09:19] Tama
    W-Well... I guess it's natural that
[09:20] Tama
    kids can't tell who we are
    without our group pose!
[09:24] Tama
    Fine then, let's go everyone!

    We are the rock band, the Meows!
[09:45] Meows
    Meow!
[09:47] Tama
    Got it?
[09:48] Tama
    We're the Meows, we're superstars!
[09:53] Gunma-chan
    I don't get it.
[09:55] Tama
    You don't?!
[09:58] Tora
    Maybe we're not that popular among kids.
[10:02] Nora
    Even though we've worked so hard...
[10:07] Narrator
    This is Gunma's popular
    rock band, The Meows.
[10:12] Narrator
    Their concert tickets
    constantly sell out instantly.
[10:16] Narrator
    What could they be so distressed about?
[10:21] Gunma-chan
    Are you worried about something?
[10:23] Tama
    Fine then, I'll tell you about our story...
[10:27] Tama
    Nora and I have been friends
    since back in elementary school.
[10:31] Tama
    In high school, we decided to form
    a band together along with...
SIGN    Ramen
[10:34] Nora
    Tora from my part-time job...
[10:36] Tora
    And Buchi, who was a street
    player in front of the station.
SIGN    Welcome to
     Gunma
[10:39] Tama
    We've been through a lot
    since then, up to our big debut.

SIGN    The World for the Meows
[10:50] Tora
    We were on our way to stardom...
[10:53] Tama
    So many interviews,
[10:55] Tama
    photoshoots,
[10:56] Tama
    and fan merch.
[10:57] Nora
    We even fought our management company
[10:59] Nora
    when they tried to take advantage of us.
[11:02] Tama
    Adults were always trying to do us dirty,
[11:04] Tama
    but we never let them get away with it.
[11:06] Buchi
    All for the sake of our band.
[11:09] Tama/Nora/Tora
    That's right.
[11:12] Tama
    We worked really, really hard.
[11:14] Nora
    And finally got to where we are.
[11:16] Gunma-chan
    So everything's fine, then?
[11:19] Buchi
    But...
[11:21] Tama
    I can't come up with any more lyrics!
[11:23] Nora
    I can't think of any melodies!
[11:25] Tora
    I can't make up any arrangements!
[11:27] Buchi
    And I can't clean my room.
[11:31] Gunma-chan
    That sounds hard.
[11:33] Tama
    We start recording tomorrow!
[11:36] Nora
    Then we perform in front of 20,000 people at
[11:39] Nora
    Gunma Messe to feature our new song!
[11:41] Tora
    Of course, tickets are completely sold out!
[11:43] Buchi
    But we haven't made a single song.
[11:57] Gunma-chan
    Gunma Power!
[12:05] Tama
    Wow, I'm suddenly feeling really motivated!
[12:08] Nora
    Me too...
[12:09] Tora
    Come to think of it, I can arrange anything as long
    as there's an original song to start off from!
[12:12] Buchi
    I think I can clean my room!
[12:15] Gunma-chan
    That's good.
[12:19] Tama
    On second thought, writing lyrics
    isn't about motivation.
[12:22] Tama
    It's like speaking with
    a divine voice inside you.
[12:25] Nora
    Writing songs is a form of art.
[12:28] Nora
    There has to be something
    that sparks within you and...
[12:31] Nora
    "Boom, pow, wham!"
[12:34] Nora
    Something starts to click...
[12:36] Tora
    So no arrangements, then.
[12:39] Buchi
    I can't clean my room...
[12:44] Narration
    This is quite the pickle for Gunma-chan!
[12:46] Narration
    His healing power can't quite measure up
[12:48] Narration
    against the slump that these artists are in.
[12:53] Gunma-chan
    Then...
[12:54] Meows
    Then?
[12:55] Gunma-chan
    You all can...
[12:57] Meows
    We all can?
[12:59] Gunma-chan
    Take a break?
[13:02] Meows
    A break...?
[13:04] Tama
    There's no way we can do that!
[13:05] Tama
    If we go against our contract,
    that'll cost us a fortune!
[13:09] Nora
    The press and social media
    and that whatcha-ma-call-it-Tube
[13:12] Nora
    will rip us to bits and we
    won't ever get to perform again!
[13:14] Tora
    They'll come for our parents,
    relatives, and siblings, too ya know!
[13:19] Buchi
    I'll get kicked out of my house
    before I can even clean...
[13:24] Gunma-chan
    That would stink.
[13:26] Tama
    Stink.
[13:27] Nora
    Stink.
[13:28] Tora
    Stink.
[13:29] Buchi
    Stink.

    Sing it!

    Love! Always! Meows! Rock!
[13:59] Gunma-chan
    So cool!
[14:01] Tama
    I'm starting to see the light.
[14:03] Nora
    Yeah, me too.
[14:04] Tora
    I think we've got something.
[14:06] Buchi
    I bet kids will like this song, too...

    What would you like to know?
[14:59] Yayoihime
    Which strawberry is
    the most delicious of them all?
[15:03] Mirror 1
    That would be Yayoihime.
[15:06] Yayoihime
    Why, of course, it is!

    Now, I better drink my Yayoihime
    smoothie and get to bed!
[15:11] Yayoihime
    I have to get up early tomorrow
    to give out Yayoihime strawberry samples.
[15:16] Mirror 2
    Hey, good work!
[15:18] Mirror 3
    Well done, sir.
[15:19] Mirror 2
    That should wrap up work for today.
[15:21] Mirror 1
    Yup.
[15:23] Mirror 3
    I admire how you always answer
    to the Princess's calls so precisely.
[15:28] Mirror 1
    It is our job, after all.
[15:30] Mirror 3
    I always seem to answer too honestly....
[15:35] Mirror 2
    Well, that's not necessarily wrong, either.
[15:38] Mirror 1
    Sure, but what's most important
    is Yayoihime-sama.
[15:43] Mirror 1
    We are her servants, you know...
[15:45] Mirror 2
    Yayoihime can choose her servants,
[15:48] Mirror 2
    but servants have no choice but Yayoihime.
[15:55] Yayoihime
    Do you understand me?!
[15:56] Yayoihime
    Last time was a disaster
    because I was alone.
[16:00] Yayoihime
    You all better make me

[16:50] Yayoihime
    Being as delicious as they are, I suppose
[16:52] Yayoihime
    I'll let you kiddos have
    as many as you'd like.
[16:57] Yayoihime
    What's wrong, Meemi-chan?
[16:59] Meemi
    The way you say that sounds
    like you're making fun of me!
[17:04] Yayoihime
    My, my, Meemi-chan.
[17:06] Yayoihime
    Why would a royal like me have any reason
    to make fun of a mere child?
[17:11] Servant 1
    Kids sure are observant.
[17:13] Servant 2
    She saw right through our Princess's act.
[17:16] Meemi
    You have quite an attitude, Yayoihime.
[17:18] Yayoihime
    You're the one with
    the attitude, Meemi! Chan!
[17:21] Meemi
    See! Just now! You're so rude!
[17:24] Yayoihime
    So what, Meemi?!
[17:26] Meemi
    That's how you wanna address me?!
[17:27] Yayoihime
    I'm done walking on eggshells!

    So that's the real you!

    Oh...
[17:46] Meemi
    Wait...
[17:47] Yayoihime
    I'm sorry, Meemi-chan.
[17:48] Yayoihime
    That was childish of me.
[17:50] Meemi
    I'm sorry, Yayoihime.
[17:57] Mirror 3
    It's true that I crossed
    the line the other day.
[18:00] Mirror 2
    Oh, so you admit it.
[18:02] Mirror 3
    It's just that I can't imagine my
    life being solely about obeying orders.
[18:07] Mirror 2
    You're on a roll today.
[18:10] Mirror 3
    I don't mean to be rude,
[18:12] Mirror 3
    but I think we may need a new perspective.
[18:15] Mirror 2
    I can understand that.
[18:17] Mirror 2
    But I'm not sure that naïve
    suggestions will get us anywhere.
[18:21] Mirror 3
    What do you mean?
[18:25] Mirror 1
    It sure reminds me of myself back then...
[18:28] Yayoihime
    Have some delicious strawberries.
SIGN    Yayoihime
[18:30] Meemi
    They're called Yayoihime.
[18:32] Gunma-chan
    They're really yummy.
[18:34] Lady
    How delicious!
[18:35] Child
    They're so sweet!
[18:36] Haniwa
    These are incredible!
[18:40] Aoma
    Yum!
[18:41] Meemi
    Oh hey, Aoma.
[18:43] Aoma
    Gunma-chan, Meemi!
[18:44] Aoma
    How could you keep all this
    yummy stuff to yourselves?!
[18:48] Meemi
    Well, it wasn't on purpose...
[18:50] Gunma-chan
    But you're eating it with us now.
[18:52] Aoma
    Oh, well... I guess!
[18:55] Gunma-chan
    Isn't it nice to feel good towards
    the end of the day?
[19:00] Meemi
    You're so right!
[19:03] Yayoihime
    I forgot...
[19:05] Yayoihime
    I was so caught up in coming
    out here and doing my work,
[19:08] Yayoihime
    I forgot it began with wanting to spread
    the deliciousness of Yayoihime.
[19:16] Mirror 1
    We started out when Yayoihime-sama
    barely began walking...
[19:21] Mirror 2
    She's grown so much.
[19:23] Mirror 3
    That long...?
[19:24] Mirror 2
    The Princess can be pretty demanding,
[19:26] Mirror 2
    so there were times
    I seriously considered quitting.
[19:30] Mirror 3
    Then why?
[19:31] Mirror 1
    She can come off brash,
    but she's really open-minded.
[19:35] Mirror 2
    Yeah, she's nice once you get to know her.
[19:41] Gunma-chan and Friends
    Thank you for the meal!
[19:45] Mom
    I'm sorry kids, we only
    have normal yaki-manju today.
[19:49] Yayoihime
    Not at all! It's very good.
[19:52] Gunma-chan
    Normal yaki-manju
    are nice every once in a while!
[19:55] Mom
    Well, I'm glad!
[19:56] Aoma
    If you ask me, it should always be normal...
[20:00] Mom
    Why's that?
[20:08] Gunma-chan
    Bye!
[20:10] Yayoihime
    So long!
[20:12] Meemi
    See you!
[20:13] Meemi
    I guess she's not that bad after all.
[20:17] Yayoihime
    Mirror, mirror, answer me.
[20:21] Yayoihime
    Which strawberry is
    the most delicious of them all?
[20:24] Mirror 2
    That would be Beni-bleep-ppe.
[20:26] Mirror 3
    That would be Saga-bleep-ka.
[20:27] Mirror 1
    That would be Yayoihime.
[20:29] Yayoihime
    Oh, some conflicting opinions?
[20:31] Mirrors
    We thought that given your open heart,
    you would understand our sincerity.
[20:37] Mirrors
    In this age of diversity,
[20:38] Mirrors
    it's okay to have not just one,
    but a variety of answers...
[20:43] Yayoihime
    I understand. What a wonderful mindset.
[20:46] Yayoihime
    All strawberries are
    delicious in their own way!
[20:51] Yayoihime
    Let's celebrate all
    strawberries across the globe!
SIGN    The End
[20:57] Director Voice
    Cut!
[20:59] Yayoihime
    Did you think I would actually say that?!
[21:01] Yayoihime
    Take them to the lecture chamber!
[21:03] Mirrors 2/3
    No, wait! We said nothing wrong!
[21:06] Yayoihime
    It's not all about being right!
[21:09] Mirror 1
    Yayoihime is the best
    strawberry of them all.
[21:11] Mirror 1
    And you, Yayoihime-sama,
    are the fairest princess of them all.
[21:14] Yayoihime
    Give him a nice polish.
[21:17] Servant 1
    Yes, your highness!
[21:19] Yayoihime
    Today was another great day!
[21:23] Gunma-chan
    Yayoihime Power... 100%!

    where would you choose to meet?
[23:10] Narrator
    Haniwa Village?
[23:11] Narrator
    The racing track?
[23:12] Narrator
    Hot springs would be a great choice, too.
[23:15] Narrator
    But Gunma-chan might not be around.

    Where could he have gone?
