"The Wise One Loses Motivation."
[01:39] Gunma-chan
Oh, Wise One!
[01:40] Gunma-chan
I'm here again because
there's tons I wanna know.
[01:46] Gunma-chan
Huh? I guess no one's here...
[01:49] Wise One
No one's here!
[01:51] Gunma-chan
Someone's replying that no one's here.
[01:58] Gunma-chan
I found you, Wise One!
[02:02] Wise One
I'm not playing hide and seek,
so you can't find me.
[02:07] Gunma-chan
Hello, Wise One.
[02:09] Gunma-chan
I'm here again because
there's tons I wanna know.
[02:13] Wise One
I don't feel like answering questions today.
[02:16] Wise One
In other words, it's my day off!
[02:19] Gunma-chan
But you're an adult!
[02:20] Wise One
I'm an adult, but I'm also
a self-employed free spirit.
[02:24] Wise One
Others have no say
on whether I take the day off
[02:28] Wise One
or answer questions or decide to nap after noon.
[02:32] Gunma-chan
Oh, okay.
[02:34] Wise One
Just between us, being
an adult is much more tiring.
[02:39] Gunma-chan
Really? I had no idea.
[02:42] Wise One
Everyone pushes themselves too hard.
[02:44] Gunma-chan
Oh...
[02:46] Wise One
Be kind to adults.
[02:48] Gunma-chan
Okay, I will.
[03:05] Gunma-chan
Gunma Power!
[03:14] Wise One
I'm motivated to get up.
[03:16] Gunma-chan
That's nice.
[03:19] Wise One
I'm getting hungry.
[03:21] Gunma-chan
That's nice.
[03:25] Wise One/Gunma-chan
So good!
[03:28] Wise One
I'm starting to get
sleepy now that I'm full...
[03:33] Wise One
Let me just take another nap.
[03:36] Gunma-chan
Get up!
[03:38] Wise One
Be gentle with elders!
We've been around awhile now.
[03:42] Gunma-chan
You're still young.
[03:45] Wise One
Oh, you think I look young?
[03:48] Gunma-chan
Your skin is glowing.
[03:51] Wise One
Then I suppose I'll get up.
[03:53] Wise One
What would you like to know today?
[03:58] Gunma-chan
Well I had a lot, but I forgot.
[04:01] Gunma-chan
Oh, got one!
[04:02] Gunma-chan
Why did you lose motivation?
[04:07] Wise One
I see.
[04:08] Wise One
Why don't we ponder that together?
[04:12] Wise One
Try closing your eyes.
[04:17] Wise One
In a world where there's nothing...
[04:18] Wise One
Gunma-chan, you appear.
[04:21] Wise One
You live your life,
meet many people, eat, drink,
[04:25] Wise One
maybe gain some money then lose some money.
[04:28] Wise One
You go on living.
[04:30] Wise One
Then you grow old and...
[04:33] Wise One
You realize you're alone.
[04:37] Wise One
You were a small child
just not that long ago,
[04:39] Wise One
and suddenly you're older and wrinkly.
[04:44] Gunma-chan
Are you sad?
[04:46] Wise One
Perhaps it's a bit different from being sad.
[04:49] Wise One
I suppose this feeling is... loneliness.
[04:55] Wise One
Talking with you helps me
to organize my feelings.
[05:00] Gunma-chan
You mean like neat and tidy?
[05:01] Wise One
Indeed.
[05:04] Wise One
It helps to sort out my messy thoughts and
[05:08] Wise One
that feeling of loneliness
is slowly lifted away.
[05:13] Wise One
Not that it changes reality.
[05:17] Wise One
Going through life means to experience ups
and downs over and over again.
[05:24] Wise One
I thought becoming an adult meant I would
see the truth and know everything,
[05:29] Wise One
but all I've learned is
how little I actually know.
[05:33] Gunma-chan
That sounds tough.
[05:35] Wise One
It's very tough.
[05:37] Wise One
But even though I'm not all-knowing,
[05:39] Wise One
my experience helps me
to show young ones the right path.
[05:45] Gunma-chan
That's nice of you.
[05:48] Wise One
You're the one who gives me
that energy, Gunma-chan.
[05:55] Gunma-chan
So you get energy
from me asking you questions
[05:59] Gunma-chan
when there's tons I wanna know?
[06:02] Wise One
That I do.
[06:07] Narrator
They say time doesn't
just flow in one direction,
[06:10] Narrator
but that it can also go backwards.
[06:13] Narrator
Perhaps it would be interesting
if it were even round, like this.
[06:23] Wise One
Humans are weak in the face of loneliness.
[06:27] Wise One
Being connected to others and helping
each other is what makes us strong.
[06:31] Wise One
You need friends no matter what,
to make it through tomorrow.
[06:35] Gunma-chan
You're right.
[06:36] Wise One
Although, sometimes, I want to be alone.
[06:40] Gunma-chan
That's weird.
[06:42] Wise One
It is weird.
[06:47] Wise One
What's the matter, Gunma-chan?
[06:50] Gunma-chan
All this thinking's making me tired.
[06:55] Wise One
Well, that's proof that you thought very hard.
[06:59] Wise One
Here, a cup of warm and sweet hot chocolate.
[07:03] Wise One
Have some.
[07:04] Gunma-chan
Yay!
[07:08] Gunma-chan
So good.
[07:09] Wise One
It is good.
[07:12] Gunma-chan
This is fun.
[07:13] Wise One
It is fun.
[07:15] Wise One
No matter how much knowledge you gain,
[07:17] Wise One
your feelings are something
you cannot control.
[07:21] Wise One
Good friends are the best recipe
for a bountiful life.
[07:27] Wise One
You are, indeed.
[07:33] Gunma-chan
Indeed!
[07:35] Narrator
Perhaps Gunma-chan and the Wise One are
[07:37] Narrator
not only teacher and pupil,
but also good friends.
[07:42] Narrator
Hm? That's a strange relationship, you say?
[07:46] Narrator
Maybe you can ask the adults
around you what they think.
[07:49] Narrator
And you can form your
own opinion from there.
[07:52] Narrator
You might see the world in a new way,
[07:54] Narrator
which would make life
interesting, wouldn't it?
[07:56] Narrator
An interesting world
full of people you love...
[07:59] Narrator
That's another way
to describe hiragana Gunma.
[08:03] Gunma-chan
Wise One Power... 100%!
SIGN Arrival of the Ninja!
SIGN Arrival of the Ninja!
[08:11] Gunma-chan
"Arrival of the Ninja!"
[08:20] Ninja Cat
Good morning.
[08:24] Ninja Cat
Nice to meet you. We are ninjas.
[08:27] Gunma-chan
Oh cool, ninja.
[08:29] Gunma-chan
Nice to meet you.
[08:31] Gunma-chan
So? What do ninjas do?
[08:35] Narrator
Let me explain.
[08:37] Narrator
In Japanese, the term
"ninja" combines the kanji
SIGN Nin
SIGN ja
[08:39] Narrator
"blade" above "heart" then
the letter for "person".
[08:42] Narrator
In other words, they
are what we could call "spies".
[08:45] Ninja Cat
We are self-employed ninjas.
[08:48] Gunma-chan
That's cool.
[08:50] Ninja Cat
We're here today as part
of our door-to-door sales.
[08:54] Ninja Cat
We'll provide our services
for anything you'd like.
[08:56] Ninja Mouse
If there's anyone you wanna get rid of...
[08:59] Ninja Cat
No...
[09:00] Ninja Cat
Times have changed. That would be
a violation of compliance.
[09:05] Gunma-chan
Computer rice ants...?
[09:06] Ninja Cat
Com-pli-ance.
[09:08] Ninja Cat
It means there are certain rules
[09:10] Ninja Cat
in place that even us ninjas have to follow.
[09:13] Gunma-chan
Oh, got it.
[09:15] Ninja Cat
My little sister is still young,
[09:17] Ninja Cat
so she doesn't understand the new rules.
[09:19] Ninja Mouse
Squeak-squeak.
[09:20] Gunma-chan
Learning something new can be hard.
[09:24] Ninja Cat
These new times have made our work difficult.
[09:27] Ninja Cat
It's not easy for us sisters...
[09:30] Ninja Cat
That's why!
[09:31] Ninja Cat
Elder sister cat!
[09:33] Ninja Cat
And younger sister...
[09:35] Ninja Mouse
Squeak!
[09:36] Ninja Cat
We are the Ninja Sisters!
[09:38] Ninja Cat
Come to answer your call!
[09:41] Gunma-chan
Wow, that was cool!
[09:43] Gunma-chan
So the older sister is the cat
and the little sister is the mouse.
[09:48] Ninja Cat
We grew up in a complicated household.
[09:51] Ninja Cat
Maybe we can discuss that next time.
[09:53] Ninja Mouse
Squeak-squeak-squeak.
[09:54] Gunma-chan
Oh, really.
[09:56] Ninja Cat
Yes, really...
[09:57] Ninja Cat
Anyways,
[09:59] Ninja Cat
we'll take your request free of charge
as a special discount today.
[10:04] Gunma-chan
Really? Is that okay?
[10:06] Ninja Cat
Consider it a trial run.
[10:07] Ninja Cat
I'm sure you'll understand
our value afterwards.
[10:11] Ninja Mouse
Who should we wipe out?
[10:14] Ninja Cat
In today's day and age,
there's no wiping out anyone.
[10:17] Ninja Mouse
Squeak-squeak.
[10:18] Gunma-chan
Oh, so I can't wipe anyone out...
[10:21] Ninja Cat
W-Well, no! We can!
[10:22] Ninja Cat
We can, but it's not allowed!
[10:25] Gunma-chan
So then we won't.
[10:26] Ninja Cat
We won't.
[10:29] Gunma-chan
Hmm... Then...
[10:38] Ninja Sisters
We are the Ninja Sisters!
[10:41] Aoma
It's...
[10:42] Aoma
It's kunoichi!
[10:44] Narrator
Well done, Aoma. He sure knows his ninjas.
SIGN Woman
[10:47] Narrator
Try writing "ku" "no" "ichi".
[10:52] Narrator
It makes up the Japanese kanji for "woman".
[10:54] Narrator
In Japan, female ninjas
are referred to as "kunoichi".
[10:57] Ninja Cat
Hold on one second.
[11:00] Ninja Cat
I don't agree with that language.
[11:02] Ninja Cat
You seem to view female
ninjas in an exclusive light,
[11:05] Ninja Cat
but do you refer
to male ninjas as "tajikara"?
[11:09] Aoma
Tajikara?
[11:10] Narrator
I see. "Ta" and "chikara"
make up the word "man".
SIGN Man
[11:15] Ninja Cat
According to your logic, all ninjas would be
[11:18] Ninja Cat
categorized as either
"kunoichi" or "tajikara".
[11:21] Aoma
Okay...?
[11:22] Ninja Cat
But that's not precisely true.
[11:24] Ninja Cat
In reality, we are all just "ninja".
[11:28] Aoma
This is all pretty complicated.
[11:31] Ninja Mouse
Should we get rid of him?
[11:33] Ninja Cat
No.
[11:34] Ninja Mouse
Shake him up a bit?
[11:36] Ninja Cat
Um, well... Uhhhh...
[11:39] Ninja Cat
No... Violence won't solve anything.
[11:43] Ninja Cat
We're a generation of new ninja.
[11:46] Aoma
H-Hey! You thought about it, didn't you?!
[11:49] Aoma
What're you guys here for, anyway?
[11:52] Ninja Cat
That's right!
[11:54] Ninja Cat
We have a message for you from Gunma-chan.
[11:57] Ninja Cat
"Gunma-chan's doing pretty good."
[12:00] Ninja Cat
That is all!
[12:01] Aoma
Wait... That's all you came for?
[12:04] Ninja Cat
With that we bid you...
[12:06] Ninja Cat
Farewell!
[12:06] Aoma
Hold o... Wait!
[12:10] Aoma
What was that?
[12:15] Gunma-chan
Hello?
[12:17] Aoma
Hey, Gunma-chan?
[12:19] Aoma
Could you quit with the weird ninjas?
[12:22] Gunma-chan
You didn't like it?
[12:24] Aoma
If you need anything,
you can call or e-mail me!
[12:27] Gunma-chan
That's true.
[12:28] Aoma
Seriously, man.
[12:34] Ninja Sisters
We are the Ninja Sisters!
[12:38] Gunma-chan
Welcome back.
[12:40] Ninja Cat
My liege, we have fulfilled your orders.
[12:44] Gunma-chan
Liege?
[12:46] Ninja Cat
This is just your usual ninja lingo,
[12:48] Ninja Cat
so please don't worry about the semantics.
[12:51] Ninja Mouse
You sure we shouldn't wipe him out?
[12:53] Ninja Cat
We mustn't.
[12:54] Ninja Cat
Right now, we have to focus
on gaining new clientele and
[12:57] Ninja Cat
developing our business worldwide.
[13:01] Ninja Mouse
Squeak-squeak.
[13:03] Mom
Gunma-chan?
[13:05] Mom
Is someone there?
[13:06] Gunma-chan
Yeah, the ninjas are...
[13:11] Gunma-chan
Huh?
[13:12] Mom
You told me someone was here.
[13:14] Mom
You got me this time!
[13:17] Gunma-chan
Huh?
[13:22] Ninja Cat
My liege!
[13:24] Ninja Cat
You mustn't reveal our identities to others.
[13:29] Ninja Mouse
She means don't tell anyone about us.
[13:31] Gunma-chan
Wait, why?
[13:34] Ninja Mouse
I knew it.
[13:35] Ninja Mouse
He's going to end up spilling our secret.
[13:40] Ninja Cat
Oh, that's just chitose-ame
candy. Have a taste.
[13:43] Ninja Mouse
It's really good!
[13:45] Gunma-chan
S-So sweet!
[13:48] Ninja Cat
Has this given you
a good idea of the basic rules?
[13:52] Ninja Cat
Starting next time, we'll solve
the many conspiracies lying
[13:56] Ninja Cat
in the depths of Gunma,
on behalf of you and your orders, Gunma-chan!
[14:00] Ninja Mouse
Squeak-squeak!
[14:01] Gunma-chan
Oh, okay... thanks, I guess.
[14:06] Gunma-chan
Huh?
[14:07] Gunma-chan
They're gone...
[14:12] Ninja Cat
Good evening.
[14:16] Ninja Cat
We are ninjas.
[14:18] Aoma
I know that!
[14:19] Ninja Cat
We are self-employed ninja
that work on personal requests.
[14:25] Aoma
And?
[14:26] Ninja Cat
We figured we might
as well drop by here, too.
[14:30] Ninja Cat
We'll provide our services
for anything you'd like.
[14:34] Aoma
Then please get out of here!
[14:35] Ninja Cat
So that's your job for us?
[14:37] Aoma
No, it's not!
[14:38] Ninja Mouse
Should we get rid of him?
[14:39] Ninja Cat
...I suppose.
[14:40] Aoma
Get out!
[14:43] Gunma-chan
Ninja Power... 100%!

[15:03] Meows
Good work, guys.
[15:06] Tama
Hey, Gunma-chan!
[15:07] Gunma-chan
Hi everyone.
[15:09] Nora
It's been a while.
[15:11] Nora
Come have a drink with us.
[15:13] Tora
Today's our anniversary.
[15:14] Gunma-chan
Anniversary for what?
[15:19] Buchi
Our breaking up anniversary party...
[15:22] Gunma-chan
Really? Why?
[15:24] Nora
Fine then. It's not the best time,
[15:26] Nora
but we'll show you as a special treat.
[15:29] Meows
We are the rock band the Meows! Meow!
[15:34] Tama
That's right!
[15:35] Tama
Today's the last day for the Meows!
[15:39] Tora
We wanted to end with a smile, but...
[15:42] Nora
It's not that easy, man...
[15:44] Narrator
This is Gunma's popular
rock band, The Meows.
[15:48] Narrator
Their concert tickets constantly
sell out in an instant.
[15:52] Narrator
How could they, of all people, break up?
[15:54] Narrator
What could have possibly happened?
[15:56] Gunma-chan
Are you worried about something?
[15:58] Tama
Fine. We'll let you in on it...
[15:59] Nora
Us Meows were at the top of our game.
[16:02] Tora
We were filthy rich and living in style.
[16:05] Buchi
Doing our taxes the year
after was a huge pain.
[16:08] Narrator
It's our duty as citizens to pay taxes.
[16:10] Gunma-chan
That's cool.
[16:13] Tama
We had it all.
[16:16] Tama
We formed a band and did
everything we ever wanted to do.
[16:20] Nora
We've done everything
that could be done with a bit of money.
[16:24] Tora
We achieved our dreams.
[16:26] Gunma-chan
Wow.
[16:27] Buchi
And... We hate it now.
[16:31] Tama
We're tired of being around each other!
[16:33] Nora
Tama's constant fidgeting!
[16:35] Tora
Nora's snoring!
[16:36] Buchi
Tora's habit of being late...
[16:38] Tama
And Buchi's OCD!
[16:40] Meows
We can't take it anymore!
[16:43] Nora
I'm sick of doing the same
thing everywhere we go!
[16:46] Tora
I can't stand being fawned over anymore.
[16:49] Buchi
I'm sick of being... sick of things.
SIGN Manager
[16:54] Tama
Hey, Manager! I thought
I told you to stop calling!
[16:58] Tama
Shut up! We never wanna hear
your stupid lectures ever again!
[17:02] Tora
We're done letting anyone
take advantage of us.
[17:05] Nora
Just a bunch of hyenas trying
to leech off of our hard work!
[17:09] Buchi
I'm so exhausted of this industry...
[17:11] Gunma-chan
That sounds hard...
[17:12] Tama
All of that ends today!
[17:15] Nora
But we haven't told our
management company yet.
[17:17] Tora
Who cares? We pay the penalties
and then we're free!
[17:20] Buchi
I just don't want to do anything anymore...
[17:27] Gunma-chan
Yeah, I get it. That happens.
[17:30] Tama
Whaddaya mean? You're just a kid.
[17:33] Tama
There's stuff you don't wanna do, either?
[17:35] Nora
Even though you're not even an adult yet?
[17:38] Gunma-chan
Sure.
[17:39] Tama
Even Gunma-chan,
who hasn't become anything yet.
[17:42] Buchi
But, you look so happy all the time.
[17:44] Gunma-chan
Yeah, but there are days I'm not happy.
[17:48] Tama
Then... What do you on those days?
[17:52] Gunma-chan
Lie in bed and take it easy?
[17:55] Tama
Take... it easy?
[17:58] Nora
I forgot... We haven't had
any time off in forever...
[18:02] Tora
We were so focused on turning our
popularity into bigger success...
[18:06] Buchi
And then I couldn't clean anymore...
[18:08] Gunma-chan
It's a waste if you're not having fun.
[18:13] Meows
A waste...
[18:15] Tama
Before I knew it, music was no fun anymore.
[18:20] Tama
Even back when no one took us
seriously, it wasn't like this...
[18:25] Tama
We were always at our part-time jobs.
SIGN Welcome to
Gunma
[18:28] Tora
And we played in front
of the station every Saturday night.
[18:32] Nora
And afterwards, we'd always hang out at
[18:35] Nora
Tama's place and stay up all
night talking about our dream.
[18:38] Buchi
That was fun....
[18:40] Tama
Yeah, those days were fun.
[18:43] Nora
I loved you guys.
[18:45] Tora
We all had big dreams.
[18:47] Buchi
Even though we had nothing.
[18:50] Tama
Nora and Tora got
in a big fight once, remember?
[18:53] Buchi
Tama and I tried to stop you guys
and Nora knocked us out.
[18:56] Tora
And the two of you got mad
and went at Nora but hit me instead.
[19:00] Nora
Then Tora got mad
and charged at Tama and Buchi.
[19:04] Meows
And we all agreed that violence
was never the answer.
[19:10] Tama
Then we found our management company
and went in to meet them...
[19:13] (Flashback) Meows
Thanks for taking us in!
[19:15] Tama
...And we became popular...
SIGN Meows Concert
[19:16] (Flashback) Meows
'Sup.
[19:18] Tama
...And I guess we changed.
[19:21] (Flashback) Meows
Z-Zero customers?!
[19:24] (Flashback) President
You're all fired!
[19:26] Tama
Guys, we might have messed this up bad...
[19:32] Gunma-chan
Gunma Power!
[19:36] Narrator
I guess this is where
we'll use Gunma Power today.
[19:39] Narrator
What do you all think?
[19:42] Meows
Forget breaking up!
[19:46] Gunma-chan
That's good!
[19:47] Tama
I still know I like music!
[19:49] Nora
I believe in the power of music!
[19:51] Tora
I want our music to reach people!
[19:52] Buchi
That's what us Meows are about.
[19:54] Meows
Meow!
[19:56] Gunma-chan
Yay.
[20:00] Tama
Since we were planning on breaking up,
[20:02] Tama
I don't have any lyrics written.
[20:04] Nora
And I don't have any melodies written!
[20:06] Tora
Or arrangements made!
[20:08] Buchi
I don't have any worries at the moment.
[20:10] Buchi
Which is unsettling...

Then...
[20:14] Meows
Then?
[20:16] Gunma-chan
You all can...
[20:17] Meows
We all can?
[20:19] Gunma-chan
Break up?
[20:22] Meows
Break up...
[20:23] Tama
There's no way we can do that!
[20:25] Nora
We are the Meows!
[20:26] Tora
Until the day we die!
[20:28] Buchi
We won't break up. Ever!
[20:30] Tama

It's our duty as citizens to pay taxes.
[21:19] Gunma-chan
I guess adults have it pretty tough.
