    "Off to the Auto Race!"
[01:38] Narrator
    Have you ever witnessed a true battle?
[01:46] Narrator
    A motorcycle racing sport
    spanning six laps around an
[01:50] Narrator
    oval track that is 500 meters long
    and 30 meters wide.
[01:54] Narrator
    That is... Auto Race!
[01:57] That is...Auto Race! {sorega; 1
    There are roughly 400 auto
    race riders across Japan.
[02:00] Narrator
    The youngest is 19 years old,
    and the oldest is 75 years old.
[02:04] Narrator
    Female riders are also among them.
[02:06] Narrator
    It's truly a world measured solely by skill.
[02:11] Joe
    I'll show you... I can win!

[02:27] Announcer Haniwa
    The riders have assumed
    their starting positions...
[02:30] Announcer Haniwa
    And the blue lamp has turned off.
[02:34] Announcer Haniwa
    Three seconds until we begin...
[02:36] ---
    And they're off!
[02:39] Announcer Haniwa
    All racers are off to a good start.
[02:40] Announcer Haniwa
    Racer 1 leads the pack in numerical
    order as we round the first corner.
[02:45] Narrator
    Allow me to explain.
[02:46] Narrator
    Racers run counter-clockwise, and all bikes
    are specialized auto racing motorcycles.
[02:53] Narrator
    Handles are positioned
    at different heights on each side,
[02:55] Narrator
    and there is no meter or brakes.
[02:57] Narrator
    Racers only rely on their 600cc engine,
    which they control and maintain themselves.
[03:04] Announcer Haniwa
    So far it's been a quiet race...
[03:08] Micchi
    Exactly as planned!
[03:09] Ace
    I... go now!
[03:12] Announcer Haniwa
    We're at the final corner as Racer 6
    and Racer 7 move up...
[03:16] Announcer Haniwa
    And that concludes lap one,
    with Joe on Racer 1 in first place!
[03:20] Joe
    Perfect! I won the first lap.
[03:23] Announcer Haniwa
    Racer 6 and Racer 7 move
    up as we round corner one.
[03:26] Announcer Haniwa
    And they're neck and neck with Racer 1!
[03:27] Announcer Haniwa
    Racer 1 leads the pack as we pass
    the back straight... King is drawing closer!
[03:32] Announcer Haniwa
    Joe on Racer 1 comes in first,
[03:34] Announcer Haniwa
    but Micchi on Racer 6 and Ace
    on Racer 7 are right behind him!
[03:39] Joe
    I've gotta keep the lead...
[03:41] Ace+Micchi
    We won't let you!
[03:43] Announcer Haniwa
    Rounding the second corner
    as the lead shrinks and...
[03:48] Announcer Haniwa
    Racer Joe has moved down to third place!
[03:50] Announcer Haniwa
    Could his second-class
    racer be his downfall?!
[03:52] Micchi
    Just as I planned, rookie!
[03:54] Ace
    See ya!
[03:56] Joe
    If I just had another 100cc!
[03:59] Narrator
    Typically, racers have 600cc engines,
[04:03] Narrator
    but rookies are required to use
    500cc engines for a limited time.
[04:08] Announcer Haniwa
    Three laps left!
[04:09] Announcer Haniwa
    King on Racer 8 has
    moved up to fourth place.
[04:11] Joe
    King's already caught up with me..!
[04:14] Announcer Haniwa
    Here's King drawing closer to
    shooting distance with the rookie Joe...
[04:18] Joe
    He's coming!
[04:20] Announcer Haniwa
    And he's passed Joe effortlessly!
[04:23] Announcer Haniwa
    Perhaps Racer 1 has little luck
    in keeping up in terms of simple force...
[04:27] Joe
    Fine, then!
[04:28] Announcer Haniwa
    At the third corner,
    Joe has changed his positioning!
[04:32] Announcer Haniwa
    He's moved to the outside,
    a specialty of second-class racers!
[04:35] Announcer Haniwa
    Can he get back in front
    with two laps left?!
[04:37] King
    Alright kid, looks like you have brains.
[04:41] Narrator
    If I may...
[04:43] Narrator
    Since bikes aren't equipped with brakes,
[04:45] Narrator
    racers control their bike
    through working the gas pedal.
[04:48] Narrator
    Second-class bikes are easier
    to control given their lower horsepower.
[04:54] Joe
    I may have a second-class engine,
    but that means I have less to worry about!
[04:59] Joe
    Now I can focus on... giving full speed!
[05:02] Announcer Haniwa
    Joe on Racer 1 catches up to top
    place as we pass the second corner!
[05:06] Joe
    Yes!
[05:08] Micchi
    What?!
[05:10] Announcer Haniwa
    But the lead grows as we head down
    the straight! Racer 1 can't keep up!
[05:14] Joe
    I'll go full force at the corner!
[05:17] Announcer Haniwa
    Joe lines up with the leading
    pack as they slow down!
[05:21] Announcer Haniwa
    The blue flag is out... and somehow
    Joe leads as we enter the final lap!
[05:25] Announcer Haniwa
    One lap left!
[05:26] Joe
    I got this!
[05:29] Micchi
    This is within calculation!
[05:31] Ace
    The final lap's all about power!
[05:35] Micchi
    This is the real battle...
[05:38] Micchi
    Add 5% to the data!
[05:48] Joe
    There's my chance!
[05:50] Announcer Haniwa
    Wipeout!
[05:51] Announcer Haniwa
    Racer 6 and Racer 7 fall as King
    is forced to slow down!
[05:54] Announcer Haniwa
    And Joe on Racer 1 manages to get through!
[05:56] Announcer Haniwa
    The rookie Joe reaches top place
    as King falls to second place!
[05:59] Announcer Haniwa
    Can he keep the lead as we
    round the last two corners?!
[06:01] Joe
    I did it! I can win! I can beat King!
[06:08] Joe
    What?!
[06:10] Announcer Haniwa
    Here's the checkered flag...
[06:12] Announcer Haniwa
    And King crosses
    the finish line in first place!
[06:15] Announcer Haniwa
    The rookie Joe fought valiantly,
    but got a well-deserved second place!
[06:21] Joe
    Darn it!
[06:35] Joe
    That old geezer!
[06:37] King
    Hey, kid.
[06:40] Joe
    King-san...
[06:42] King
    Riders can last fifty years
    in auto race if they want.
[06:47] King
    Make your best of it.
[06:51] Joe
    I'm no "kid"! I'm Joe!
[06:55] King
    Ha!
[06:56] King
    If you can pass me while I'm still alive,
    maybe I'll call you by name.
[07:04] ---
    Don't get too cocky!
[07:06] Joe
    Stingy old man!
[07:08] King
    I can hear you!
[07:11] Narrator
    And so begun the long battle
    between the rookie and the king...
[07:16] Akio
    Amazing! What a great rivalry!
[07:19] Akio
    So there you have it.
[07:20] Akio
    Anyone can become a superstar in auto race,
    everyone from grandpas to young kids!
[07:27] Gunma-chan
    That's cool.
[07:29] Akio
    As a part of government-controlled sports,
    it contributes to Gunma's culture!
[07:35] Gunma-chan
    I never knew that!
[07:37] Akio
    Auto race is even broadcast on real
    television networks and the internet.
[07:43] Gunma-chan
    Wow!
[07:47] Akio
    It sure brings out the gambler's spirit!
[07:53] Gunma-chan
    Brings out what?
[07:56] Akio
    Just grown-up stuff...
[07:59] Gunma-chan
    That's cool.
[08:01] Narrator
    So that's that.

[08:17] Yayoihime
    Sales are going down
    for Yayoihime strawberries!
[08:21] Yayoihime
    Why is this happening?!
[08:22] Servant A
    Recognition of Yayoihime has spread...
[08:25] Servant B
    ...and as its popularity peaked...
[08:28] Servant C
    ...new brands of strawberries
    came out one after another.
[08:31] Mirror 1
    Perhaps it's best to be patient for now.
[08:34] Mirror 2
    There's no such thing
    as eternal growth in business.
[08:38] Mirror 3
    We can wait for the next Yayoihime boom.
[08:43] Servant A
    Of course, we haven't simply been
    sitting around twiddling our thumbs.
[08:47] Servant B
    We've distributed flyers.
[08:49] Servant C
    And yesterday, our social media
    account reached 1,000 followers.
[08:55] Yayoihime
    Those are all things I've done myself...
[08:59] (Flashback) Yayoihime
    Would you like some
    strawberries? They're delicious!
[09:04] (Flashback) Yayoihime
    Here you go.
[09:08] (Flashback) Girl
    Yum!
[09:10] (Flashback) Yayoihime
    Right?
[09:11] (Flashback) Girl's Mom
    These strawberries are very good.
[09:13] (Flashback) Yayoihime
    Thank you.
[09:15] (Flashback) Yayoihime
    They're called "Yayoihime",
    grown right here in Gunma.
[09:19] (Flashback) Yayoihime
    It's very sweet and has
    a bright color and great shape.
[09:23] (Flashback) Yayoihime
    Have some delicious strawberries!
[09:24] (Flashback) Older Lady
    They're very good.
[09:26] (Flashback) Child
    So yummy!
[09:27] (Flashback) Haniwa A
    These are amazing!
[09:29] (Flashback) Yayoihime
    Would anyone like some sweet,
    delicious Yayoihime strawberries?
[09:35] (Flashback) Haniwas
    So good!
[09:37] Yayoihime
    I hear you all loud and clear.
[09:41] Yayoihime
    I'm sorry for making you who support
[09:44] Yayoihime
    and consult me market strawberries
    you don't even want to sell.
[09:48] Mirror 1
    Please, don't say that!
[09:50] Mirror 2
    You're showing great maturity, Princess.
[09:53] Yayoihime
    What a bunch of idiots... You think
    you can say whatever you want?
[09:58] Yayoihime
    None of you have got a clue here!
[10:02] Yayoihime
    You all are absolutely useless!
[10:06] Yayoihime
    From here on out,
    I expect nothing out of you!
[10:10] Yayoihime
    If you don't love living in
    the Strawberry Kingdom and don't care
[10:13] Yayoihime
    to eat Yayoihime or spread their
    deliciousness, you can get out!
[10:18] Narrator
    Supposedly, there were once company
    leaders who spoke in a similar manner,
[10:22] Narrator
    but they are long gone.
[10:24] Narrator
    Yayoihime isn't actually serious
    when she says this,
[10:26] Narrator
    but her deep love for Yayoihime
    strawberries causes her to go overboard.
[10:31] Narrator
    On behalf of Yayoihime,
    I apologize and take back her remarks.
[10:44] Yayoihime
    As Princess, I don't get paid
    to work overtime or on weekends...
[10:48] Yayoihime
    But I have a dream!
[10:50] Mirror 1
    Let's give her some time to cool down.
[10:53] Servant A
    Like they say... "No curse
    can come of a God untouched"
[10:56] Mirror 2
    You know, though, she's got some guts.
[11:00] Yayoihime
    I'll do it myself! I can do it!
[11:08] Officer Haniwa
    Oh, if it isn't Yayoihime-sama.
[11:10] Officer Haniwa
    Thanks to you, our Yayoihime
    hydroponics farm has expanded greatly.

    many jobs because of it.

    That's precisely why...
[11:21] Officer Haniwa
    Why...?

    It sure is.
[14:59] Akio
    This is so freeing.
[15:02] Gunma-chan
    Sure is.

    Today's a day of total freedom.

    I have something even more
    special in mind for today.

[15:20] Akio
    Let's look for somewhere with a better view.
[15:30] Akio
    Around here should be good.
[15:38] Akio
    Perfect.
[15:41] Gunma-chan
    What now?
[15:47] Akio
    This is it!
[15:50] Gunma-chan
    What are we doing?

    Taking it easy.
[15:55] Gunma-chan
    Taking it easy..?
[15:56] Akio
    That's right. We're not doing anything.
[16:00] Gunma-chan
    Oh...
[16:07] Gunma-chan
    Nothing's happening.
[16:10] Akio
    That's the point of taking it easy!
[16:13] Gunma-chan
    I'm... bored.
[16:16] Akio
    Exactly!
[16:18] Akio
    "Bored" and "taking it easy" are cousins.
[16:21] Gunma-chan
    They are?
[16:23] Akio
    Having nowhere to go.
[16:25] Akio
    Just gazing over the
    beautiful scenery of Gunma.
[16:29] Akio
    Taking it easy while
    giving your mind a rest...
[16:31] Akio
    It's a luxury, but it's boring.
[16:35] Gunma-chan
    I guess.
[17:08] Narrator
    Gunma-chan's uncle is no ordinary uncle.
[17:12] Akio
    Oh, hey, it's you! Come on out!

    As Gunma-chan's imaginary friend,

    I technically don't exist, but for now I do.
[17:29] Akio
    Don't sweat the small stuff.
[17:31] Akio
    We can leave that to the fanatics.
[17:33] Akio
    All we need to do right now is take it easy.
[17:37] Gunma-chan
    Let's take it easy!
[17:38] Mini Haniwa
    Okay, I'll do my best!
[17:45] Mini Haniwa
    Am I... doing it right?
[17:48] Akio
    Yeah, you sure are. You've got some chops.
[17:52] Akio
    For your first time, you're doing
    a great job taking it easy.
[17:57] Gunma-chan
    Gunma-chan's taking it easy, too.
[18:00] Akio
    Yeah, Gunma-chan.
[18:02] Akio
    You're like the superstar of taking it easy.
[18:08] Mini Haniwa
    I've never taken it this easy
    before, but I'm having fun.
[18:13] Akio
    Yup...
[18:14] Akio
    We live in a time where you do one thing
    and a nay-sayer pops up before you know it.
[18:20] Akio
    Going nowhere and doing
    nothing like this is
[18:24] Akio
    the perfect way to recharge
    your mental batteries.
[18:28] Mini Haniwa
    Uncle Akio, where did you learn all this?
[18:32] Akio
    Nowhere, really.
[18:33] Akio
    I guess I bounced around
    the hills of Hiragana Gunma
[18:36] Akio
    and tried my hand at
    different jobs to make money.
[18:40] Akio
    Then, I dove into the world
    of government-controlled sports
[18:42] Akio
    and consensually bought tickets
    to learn the lessons of life.
[18:48] Akio
    Oh, I should mention these
    tickets aren't for kids.
[18:53] Gunma-chan+Mini Haniwa
    Okay!
[18:54] Akio
    Anyways, today's about relaxing!
[18:57] Gunma-chan+Mini Haniwa
    Relaxing!
[19:09] Akio
    Alright!
[19:11] Akio
    Time to get up!
[19:13] Akio
    We're off to the next venue to take it easy!
[19:16] Gunma-chan+Mini Haniwa
    Take it easy...
[19:19] Mini Haniwa
    It may look like there are three people
    riding this bike... but I don't exist,
[19:24] Mini Haniwa
    so technically, this isn't a
    violation of the Road Traffic Law.
[19:36] Akio
    Taking it easy and taking it easy...
[19:38] Akio
    So we're taking it super easy today.
[19:41] Gunma-chan
    Yeah! Taking it super easy!
[19:44] Mini Haniwa
    Super super easy easy...
[19:48] Mini Haniwa
    I sense danger...
[19:50] Akio
    All you need to do is sit
    in the warm water and relax.
[19:55] Mini Haniwa
    ...But I feel like this
    place is... supremely relaxed!
[20:11] Gunma-chan
    This is awesome!
[20:13] Akio
    I'm anxious to get on their level,
    but I'm not there yet.
[20:18] Mini Haniwa
    Who knew taking it easy could be so deep.
[20:21] Akio
    That's right. It's not easy to take it easy.
[20:25] Gunma-chan
    It's not boring at all.
[20:29] Akio
    "Relaxed"... "Bored"... They're both feelings.
[20:33] Akio
    And how you feel is all up to you...
[20:37] Mini Haniwa
    So deep... almost too deep...
[20:39] Akio
    Who cares whether it's deep or shallow?
[20:42] Gunma-chan
    Really?
[20:43] Akio
    Sure, the only thing that matters is
    that it was your choice.
[20:53] Akio
    But for that, you gotta take
    it easy every once in a while;
[20:56] Akio
    and refresh the mind and the body!
[20:59] Gunma-chan+Mini Haniwa
    Yes, sir!
[21:01] Gunma-chan
    This is a nice change of pace...
[21:04] Akio
    Right?
[21:05] Akio
    Adventures are all good and fun,
    but let's take it slow sometimes, too!
[21:09] Gunma-chan+Mini Haniwa
    Super super easy easy!
[21:14] Akio
    Super super easy easy!
[21:17] Akio
    Sure is a great phrase.
[21:20] Gunma-chan+Mini Haniwa
    Super super easy easy!
[21:23] Gunma-chan
    Taking It Easy Power... 100%!

    Have you ever stopped
    to think about "words"?
[23:07] Narrator
    Words have a special power,
    which can be both good and bad.
[23:13] Narrator
    But for what it's worth,
    it'd be nice if we could use words to
[23:16] Narrator
    help people have fun,
    or make up with friends after a fight.
[23:21] Narrator
    That way, we can be word magicians!
