    I'm Yuumi.
[01:42] Yuumi
    And the person sitting over there is
    Gunma-chan, my big brother.
[01:51] Yuumi
    Hey, Onii-chan?
[01:53] Gunma-chan
    Yeah, what is it?
[01:57] Yuumi
    Nothing in particular.
[02:00] Gunma-chan
    Then why did you call me?
[02:03] Yuumi
    Because I wanted to talk to you.
[02:07] Gunma-chan
    Oh... okay.
[02:12] Yuumi
    Onii-chan never really cares
    about my questions.
[02:16] Yuumi
    He treats me differently from everyone else.
[02:25] Yuumi
    Hey, hey, Onii-chan?
[02:27] Gunma-chan
    Yeah, what is it?
[02:30] Yuumi
    What are you drawing?
[02:35] Gunma-chan
    ...A drawing.
[02:36] Yuumi
    I know that, but a drawing of what?
[02:42] Gunma-chan
    What? You mean you can't
    tell just by looking at it?
[02:50] Yuumi
    Not really.
[02:55] Gunma-chan
    Yuumi, it's sad that we're twins
    and you know so little about me...
[03:01] Yuumi
    Are you saying that's my fault?
[03:06] Gunma-chan
    But I guess people are free to feel however
    they want about Gunma-chan's drawings.
[03:14] Yuumi
    ...Onii-chan.
[03:16] Gunma-chan
    Yeah, what is it?
[03:19] Yuumi
    I don't like your attitude.
[03:22] Gunma-chan
    Huh?
[03:26] Yuumi
    I get that you're wrapped up in yourself and
    you get special treatment by acting that way.
[03:33] Gunma-chan
    Special treatment...?
[03:35] Yuumi
    And I know that's your
    persona, but you know,
[03:38] Yuumi
    some people may not like it very much.
[03:42] Gunma-chan
    They don't?
[03:44] Yuumi
    Your values aren't the only ones
    that matter in the world.
[03:53] Yuumi
    In this day and age, we need to accept
    diversity and a wide range of values.
[03:59] Narrator
    "Diversity" means a selection
    of lots of different choices.
[04:04] Yuumi
    ...Onii-chan?
[04:11] Yuumi
    Onii-chan!
[04:25] Gunma-chan
    Yuumi's the only one... who's
    so strict towards Gunma-chan!
[04:30] Yuumi
    Onii-chan, can you hear me?
[04:39] Yuumi
    Let's face our issues head
    on and find a well-reasoned answer!
[04:58] Yuumi
    Onii-chan...?
[05:19] Gunma-chan
    Gunma...
[05:22] Yuumi
    Onii-chan, don't run away.
[05:26] Gunma-chan
    Run?
[05:27] Yuumi
    You need to confront the real issue.
[05:31] Gunma-chan
    I do?
[05:32] Yuumi
    That's right.
[05:33] Yuumi
    If you try something new,
    you could become...

    Don't you want to reach a new level?
[05:57] Yuumi
    ...Onii-chan?
[06:00] Gunma-chan
    Gunma-chan's okay with how things are now.
[06:08] Yuumi
    Onii-chan!
[06:10] Gunma-chan
    Yuumi, your opinion is right.
[06:12] Gunma-chan
    At the same time, Gunma-chan's
    opinion is right, too.
[06:18] Yuumi
    Really?
[06:19] Gunma-chan
    It's not about who's more in the right.
[06:23] Gunma-chan
    We can choose whatever we like.
    We can even mix ideas!
[06:36] Yuumi
    You're right.
[06:39] Gunma-chan
    Wait, Yuumi?
[06:40] Yuumi
    Yeah, what is it?
[06:43] Gunma-chan
    You're starting to act like Gunma-chan.
[06:48] Yuumi
    Yeah, I guess.
[07:02] Yuumi
    I'm Yuumi. My big brother
    is Gunma-chan. We're twins.
[07:09] Yuumi
    We think differently.
    We're different genders.
[07:14] Yuumi
    But... I love my Onii-chan exactly as he is!
[07:22] Dad
    What were you two up to today?
[07:25] Yuumi
    Onii-chan and I talked a lot!
[07:29] Mom
    What did you guys talk about?
[07:31] Gunma-chan
    About diversity!
[07:34] Mom+Dad
    Diversity?!
[07:36] Gunma-chan
    Mhmm.
[07:38] Gunma-chan
    Yuumi and I discussed many different topics.
[07:44] Mom+Dad
    ...Is he getting smarter?
[07:46] Yuumi
    Maybe!
[07:48] Narrator
    Things aren't just about
    the better opinion, and sometimes,
[07:52] Narrator
    those opinions can mix together,
    which is kind of nice.

    Today, Gunma-chan is going
    on a trip with his family.
[08:18] Dad
    It's another sunny day in Gunma!
[08:21] Gunma-chan
    It sure is!
[08:23] Yuumi
    It's so nice.
[08:24] Mom
    Beautiful weather!
[08:25] Dad
    It's so fun to go
    on a family trip in this weather.
[08:30] Gunma-chan
    It sure is!
[08:32] Yuumi
    So much fun!
[08:33] Mom
    It's a blast!
[08:35] Narrator
    They're out on a drive. How fun!
[08:42] Dad
    This feels freeing.
[08:44] Mom
    So freeing!
[08:45] Gunma-chan
    Sure is!
[08:47] Yuumi
    Freedom!
[08:49] Dad
    Today, we're taking a trip
    to a hot spring inn!
[08:52] Gunma-chan
    Yay!
[08:53] Narrator
    Hiragana Gunma is known for its hot springs.
[08:57] Narrator
    These hot springs always have inns nearby.
[09:00] Akio
    New York King aka the "King of Baths"
    here to give a lesson on hot springs!
[09:05] Akio
    Hot spring regions all have many inns
    with built-in hot spring baths.
[09:10] Akio
    And these inns offer more than
    just a relaxing bath...
[09:19] Yuumi
    Wow, we're up so high!
[09:20] Mom
    That's Gunma for you!
[09:22] Gunma-chan
    So fun!
[09:24] Dad
    Hot spring trips aren't just
    about our time at the inn.
[09:29] Dad
    Everything started when we left home!
[09:31] Akio
    That's right Big Bro! Couldn't agree more!

    Hot Spring Inn
[09:40] Dad
    We're here!
[09:43] Mom
    This is where we'll be staying today.
[09:48] Staff
    Welcome, folks.
[09:50] Dad
    Hello, thanks for greeting us.
[09:52] Gunma-chan+Mom+Yuumi
    Hello!
[09:53] Staff
    Please, make yourselves at home.
[10:00] Mom
    What a lovely garden.
[10:02] Staff
    Thank you.
[10:04] Dad
    This is a great getaway... I'm glad we came.
[10:07] Gunma-chan
    It's like a whole other world!
[10:10] Akio
    Exactly right!
[10:11] Akio
    Hot spring inns aren't all the same.
[10:13] Akio
    They vary in their exterior style,
    interior design, and services.
[10:16] Akio
    It's no overstatement to say it's
    like entering another universe!
[10:23] Mom
    Our room is lovely, too!
[10:25] Yuumi
    Yay!
[10:28] Staff
    Would you like to have
    dinner at six or seven?
[10:33] Dad
    Let's go with six.
[10:35] Staff
    Perfect, we'll have that ready for you.
[10:43] Gunma-chan
    Look, it's snacks!
[10:44] Gunma-chan
    Can we have them?
[10:45] Dad
    Sure, of course!
[10:52] Yuumi+Gunma-chan
    Yummy!
[10:54] Akio
    This welcome snack isn't just a gift
    from the inn, it's also a trap!
[10:59] Akio
    The main reason inns serve
    customers snacks is so that
[11:02] Akio
    they'll buy them as
    souvenirs on their way home!
[11:05] Akio
    Of course, they're
    the inn's finest selection,
[11:08] Akio
    so it's guaranteed they'll
    make great souvenirs.
[11:11] Akio
    But be aware this is secretly
    a message from the inn!
[11:15] Dad
    Alright, then. Anyone interested
    in a quick bath before dinner?
[11:19] Mom+Gunma-chan+Yuumi
    Yay! I am!
[11:27] Dad
    That's not a sound I let out often, but...
[11:30] Mom
    It just comes out naturally at a hot spring.
[11:33] Yuumi
    It's so warm.
[11:35] Gunma-chan
    Feels awesome!
[11:38] Narrator
    It really is a great feeling.
[11:41] Narrator
    No doubt about it!
[11:44] Gunma-chan
    For sure!
[11:46] Staff
    Time for your dinner service!
[11:51] All
    Wow, it looks amazing!
[11:54] Staff
    What would you like to drink?
[11:57] Dad
    Um, uhh... Mom?
[11:58] Mom
    ...Gunma-chan?
[12:01] Gunma-chan
    Yuumi?
[12:02] Yuumi
    I'd like some peach juice, please!
[12:04] Gunma-chan
    Yeah! Can Gunma-chan have some, too?
[12:09] Mom
    I might just get... one small beer.
[12:13] Dad
    I-I'd love to get that, too...
[12:18] Mom
    Permission granted!
[12:19] Dad
    Woohoo!
[12:20] All
    Cheers!
[12:32] Dad
    That's not a sound I let out often, but...
[12:35] Mom
    It just comes out after taking a nice,
    cold gulp after a hot bath.
[12:40] Gunma-chan
    Naturally!
[12:43] Yuumi
    You can't help it!
[12:44] All
    Thank you for this meal!
[12:47] Gunma-chan
    Delicious konjac sashimi
    and rainbow trout sashimi!
[12:52] Dad
    Delicious wild plant tempura!
[12:55] Yuumi
    Delicious flamed brook trout!
[12:58] Mom
    Delicious Gunma pork sukiyaki!
[13:03] Gunma-chan
    Delicious bamboo shoot rice
    and red miso soup!
[13:07] Staff
    Any room for dessert?
[13:10] All
    What?! We're too stuffed!
[13:16] Dad
    I guess we weren't that
    stuffed... everything was delicious!
[13:19] Staff
    Thank you.
[13:21] Dad
    Let's take a short break
    and go to the outside bath!
[13:31] Gunma-chan
    Outside baths are... outside baths.
[13:35] Mom
    Why do people get in outside baths?!
[13:40] Mom
    Precisely because... there's a bath outside!
[13:45] Narrator
    Not exactly worth the
    dramatic pause... but very true!
[13:50] Akio
    At hot spring inns, you can enjoy
    delicious food and amazing baths!
[13:55] Akio
    It's nothing short of an entertainment
    treasure land and the pride of Gunma!
[14:07] Akio
    There's no need for dumb
    jokes when it's this good.
[14:10] Akio
    Hot springs are awesome!
[14:15] Gunma-chan
    Someone made our futons!
[14:16] Mom
    This is Gunma's hospitality spirit!
[14:19] Yuumi
    Hospitality that leaves
    nothing to be desired!
[14:22] Gunma-chan
    What does that mean?
[14:23] Yuumi
    It means they have great service!
[14:26] Gunma-chan
    No leaves of desire! What a great service!
[14:31] Yuumi
    ...Close enough, I guess.
[14:34] All
    Good night!
[14:40] Narrator
    I wish I could go
    to a hot spring inn, too...
[14:43] Gunma-chan Family

    If I had to choose, I'd say so.
[15:03] Gunma-chan
    Hey!
[15:04] Gunma-chan
    I found some people who look like
    they aren't having much fun!
[15:17] Gunma-chan
    Hello, Meows-san!
[15:20] Meemi
    Meows?!
[15:22] Narrator
    Allow me to explain.
[15:23] Narrator
    Meemi is actually a huge fan
    of the rock band Meows.
[15:30] Tama
    Oh, hey, Gunma-chan...
[15:33] Tama
    I feel like you always happen
    to find us when we're down.
[15:37] Meemi
    You do?
[15:40] Tora
    Hey, there's someone with you today.
[15:43] Meemi
    Nice to meet you, I'm Meemi.
[15:48] Angel Meemi
    What's going on here?!
[15:50] Angel Meemi
    Oh my gosh, I love the Meows!
[15:52] Angel Meemi
    Can I shake their hand?! Or hug?!
    Or ask for their signature?!
[15:56] Devil Meemi
    "Real" fans don't act like that.
[15:59] Devil Meemi
    You better show restraint and
    keep your distance from the Meows!
[16:03] Devil Meemi
    That's what a true fan would do.
[16:06] Nora
    Hmph... I bet she doesn't know the Meows, either.
[16:14] Meemi
    N-No, I don't...
[16:18] Tora
    Can't be helped...
[16:19] Tama
    Hey, guys! Let's do the usual!
[16:21] Meows
    Yeah!
[16:25] Tama
    The handsome lead vocal, Tama!
[16:27] Nora
    The spiky-haired guitarist, Nora!
[16:30] Tora
    The cool and collected bassist, Tora!
[16:34] Buchi
    The mohawk drummer, Buchi!
[16:37] Meows
    We are the rock band the Meows! Meow!
[16:42] Meemi
    Oh my gosh! So cool!!
[16:46] Meemi
    Oh, so you guys are the Meows.
[16:51] Tama
    I thought we were supposed to be popular.
[16:54] Nora
    We're nowhere near that caliber.
[16:56] Tora
    Maybe this is our best.
[16:58] Buchi
    All things must come to an end.
[17:02] Gunma-chan
    What's wrong, guys?
[17:05] Tora
    The other day,
[17:07] Tora
    we signed a new agreement
    to spread our wings worldwide...
[17:12] Nora
    But it turned out to be a huge mistake.
[17:19] Tora
    It's our fault for not looking
    over the contract.
[17:25] Buchi
    But you know, we're only cats.
[17:27] Tama
    The contract made me prioritize tie-up
    songs and put off lyrics I actually like.
[17:33] Nora
    The contract forced me to make stupid
    changes to my melodies over and over again.
[17:39] Tora
    The contract made me scrap
    finished arrangements
[17:42] Tora
    just because a sponsor didn't like them.
[17:46] Buchi
    The contract made them do
    this stuff and I became
[17:49] Buchi
    depressed listening to them
    complain all day and night...
[17:58] Gunma-chan
    Well, maybe you guys should just break up.
[18:01] Meemi
    What are you talking about, Gunma-chan?!
[18:05] Tama
    That may be for the best...
[18:08] Nora
    We tried to think of other options, but...
[18:11] Tora
    The only way out of this labyrinth...
[18:14] Buchi
    ...is to retire from the game.
[18:16] Gunma-chan
    That's right!
[18:17] Gunma-chan
    Just quit together and run away!
[18:19] Meemi
    Hold on just a minute!
[18:23] Meemi
    Oh... I'm sorry for yelling like that...
[18:26] Meemi
    I just had something to say.
[18:29] Tama
    That's cool, what's up?
[18:31] Nora
    Even though we've already
    made up our minds...
[18:34] Meemi
    Meows is a rock band, right?
[18:37] Tora
    Hmph, of course we are.
[18:39] Buchi
    We're all about rock... and we're rockers!
[18:43] Gunma-chan
    For sure! They're good at storing stuff.
[18:47] Meows
    That's a locker! We're rockers!
[18:52] Meows
    Oh... they sound pretty much the same.
[18:54] Meemi
    Getting back to the point! Rock is
    about rebelling against society, right?
[18:58] Meows
    Yeah!
[19:00] Meemi
    If you quit now, wouldn't
    that mean that rock lost?
[19:03] Tora
    Rock lost...?
[19:05] Nora
    Rock lost...?
[19:07] Tama
    Rock...
[19:09] Buchi
    ...lost?
[19:13] Gunma-chan
    Does that really matter?
[19:16] Gunma-chan
    I mean... Rock losing isn't right!
[19:22] Tama
    This problem isn't just about us!
[19:24] Nora
    It would mean that Gunma's rock lost
    to a bunch of snakes!
[19:28] Tora
    We're nowhere near done.
    We can still sing and play!
[19:32] Buchi
    We can fight! For rock!
[19:34] Gunma-chan
    Six times nine makes 54!
[19:37] Meows
    That's mathematics "rokku"
    in Japanese! Ours is "rock"!
[19:42] Meows
    Wait... that sounds the same, too.
[19:45] Meemi
    Way to respond with a perfect clap-back...
[19:48] Tora
    If it comes down to it, we can scrap the
    contract and start over as street players!
[19:53] Nora
    Yeah! We'll always have
    our rock 'n' roll spirit!
[19:57] Tama
    My heart's burning with passion!
[19:59] Buchi
    I'll keep going until I get married,
    raise kids, and see my grandkids!
[20:04] Tora+Nora+Tama
    That's just personal preference.
[20:09] Tama
    The handsome lead vocal, Tama!
[20:11] Nora
    The spiky-haired guitarist, Nora!
[20:15] Tora

[20:21] Meows
    We are the rock band the Meows! Meow!
[20:26] Meemi
    Oh my gosh! So cool!
[20:33] Meemi
    T-This is my first time seeing you guys,
    but I'm about to become a Meows fan.
[20:38] Tama
    We'll invite you to our next concert,
    so you should come with Gunma-chan!
[20:43] Meemi
    I wouldn't miss it for the world!
[20:46] Meemi
    Oh... I suppose I'll go if I'm free.

    Do you all find "inspiration" valuable?
[23:06] Narrator
    Inspiration tends to pop up out of nowhere,
[23:09] Narrator
    and then disappears before you
    can make something out of it...
[23:12] Narrator
    It can be disappointing because... what if
    it was the beginning of a life changing idea?
[23:17] Narrator
    So I suggest that before you forget,
    you share it with a friend...
