    "An Adventure Above the Clouds."
[01:35] Meemi
    The weather's so nice today.
[01:39] Gunma-chan
    It sure is.
[01:41] Meemi
    There's only one thing
    to do on a day like this!
[01:48] Meemi
    Go on an adventure!
[01:50] Gunma-chan
    An adventure...
[01:55] Gunma-chan
    Sounds fun!
[01:56] Meemi
    Alright, let's go!
[01:59] Gunma-chan
    Go where?
[02:00] Meemi
    Where? Umm...
[02:05] Meemi
    Somewhere we've never been before.
[02:06] Meemi
    That would be an adventure!
[02:08] Gunma-chan
    That sounds fun.
[02:11] Gunma-chan
    I feel like this has happened before...
[02:14] Meemi
    That's called "deja vu".
[02:17] Meemi
    It's your mind playing tricks on you.
[02:20] Gunma-chan
    Okay.
[02:22] Gunma-chan/Meemi
    Gun-gun, gun-gun
[02:26] Gunma-chan/Meemi
    The two of us are off, gally as can be
[02:32] Gunma-chan/Meemi
    Gun-gun, off we go
[02:34] Gunma-chan/Meemi
    To see the land of Gunma!
[02:50] Meemi
    I'm tired after all this adventuring.
[02:53] Gunma-chan
    Yeah... but it's fun!
[02:56] Meemi
    You're right, it's tiring but fun!
[03:00] Gunma-chan
    Let's stop over there.
[03:01] Meemi
    Okay, let's go.
[03:06] Meemi
    Only a little more to go!
[03:11] Gunma-chan
    Whoa, the wind!
[03:13] Meemi
    It's Gunma's famous karakkaze!
[03:16] Gunma-chan
    Huh...
[03:21] Meemi
    Look out!
[03:30] Gunma-chan
    We're flying.
[03:33] Gunma-chan
    Meemi, we're flying.
[03:39] Gunma-chan
    This is fun!
[03:40] Gunma-chan
    Definitely an adventure.
[03:44] Meemi
    How do we get down from here?
[03:47] Gunma-chan
    I don't know.
[03:57] Gunma-chan
    That was a wild adventure.
[03:59] Meemi
    How was that an adventure?!
[04:01] Meemi
    It was a freak accident!
[04:06] Meemi
    Wait, where are we?
[04:09] Daruma A
    This is Gunma.
[04:10] Daruma A
    Specifically, 88-88 Daruma,

    Hello.
[04:39] Gunma-chan
    Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
[04:45] Meemi
    Do you all know each other?
[04:47] Gunma-chan
    Nope, never met them.
[04:49] Meemi
    Wha?!
[04:51] Meemi
    Then don't greet each other
    like acquaintances!
[04:56] Darumas
    You sure are merry, Gunma-chan and Meemi.
[04:58] Meemi
    How do you know who we are?
[05:02] Daruma A
    We Daruma know everything there is
    to know about hiragana Gunma.
[05:08] Daruma B
    We do read the Jomo Times, you know.
[05:11] Daruma C
    And watch Gunma Broadcasting.
[05:14] Daruma D
    This is the land of the Daruma Tribe,
    but you don't have to be a Daruma to enter.
[05:19] Daruma E
    We welcome you
    as honorary Daruma Gunma-nian.
[05:24] Daruma D
    You two are lucky.
[05:26] Daruma D
    Today is our annual Grand Daruma Festival.
[05:30] Daruma E
    Please drink, sing, dance,
    and daruma it up all day!
[05:34] Meemi
    Why, thank you.
[05:37] Meemi
    But what does it mean to "daruma it up"?
[05:42] Daruma A
    It's to daruma, of course.

    It's okay. Being Daruma is fun!

[08:28] Museum Director
    Mr. Diver, thank you for allowing us
    to create this exhibit.
[08:34] Museum Director
    We look forward to working with you.
[08:37] Museum Director
    Local citizens have
    also expressed great joy.
[08:40] Manager
    Even the smallest work of Mr. Diver's
    is worth several hundred million.
[08:44] Manager
    Please take extra precaution
    during the exhibit.
[08:47] Museum Director
    Absolutely.
[08:49] Museum Director
    We will strive to provide a safe

    Today, Gunma-chan and his mom
    are visiting the art museum.
[09:03] Gunma-chan's Mom
    The famous artist Diver-san
    is having an exhibit.
[09:06] Gunma-chan
    Wow, I can't wait!
[09:10] Visitor A
    Just what you'd expect from Diver-san.
[09:12] Visitor B
    It's exquisite.
[09:14] Gunma-chan's Mom
    I'm not too savvy about the arts scene,
[09:18] Gunma-chan's Mom
    but the artist Diver
    is all the buzz right now.
[09:22] Gunma-chan
    Wow...
SIGN    Please do not touch the artwork.
[09:24] Curator A
    Ahem!
[09:27] Gunma-chan's Mom
    Gunma-chan!
[09:28] Gunma-chan's Mom
    Touching the art isn't allowed.
[09:31] Gunma-chan
    Oh, okay.
[09:32] Gunma-chan's Mom
    Art museums are for "appreciating" art.
[09:36] Gunma-chan
    Appreciating?
[09:37] Gunma-chan's Mom
    That's right.
[09:38] Gunma-chan's Mom
    We watch and enjoy art
    from a distance, like this.
[09:41] Gunma-chan
    Ohh...
[09:46] Gunma-chan's Mom/Curator A
    No no no!
[09:48] Gunma-chan
    Oh, right... not allowed.
[09:50] Gunma-chan's Mom
    That's right.
[09:52] Diver
    So you want to touch it?
[09:54] Gunma-chan
    Yeah.
[09:55] Curator A
    Diver-san!
[09:57] Diver
    Unfortunately...
[09:58] Diver
    My artwork isn't to be touched!
[10:04] Gunma-chan
    He exploded...
[10:05] Diver
    Exactly! Art is a big bang!
[10:11] Manager
    Mr. Diver is lively today.
[10:14] Gunma-chan's Mom
    Let's go, Gunma-chan.
[10:17] Gunma-chan's Mom
    True artists are a little... different.
[10:21] Gunma-chan
    That grandpa was funny.
[10:23] Gunma-chan's Mom
    He was certainly funky.
[10:25] Gunma-chan's Mom
    But a little mean, don't you think?
[10:27] Gunma-chan
    Yeah, that's true.
SIGN    Let's have fun together!
[10:35] Gunma-chan's Mom
    I'm glad there's a place for kids to play.
[10:41] Gunma-chan
    Wee!
[10:46] Gunma-chan's Mom
    Is something the matter?
[10:48] Curator B
    T-That's Mr. Diver's artwork!
[10:53] Gunma-chan's Mom
    But the sign says,
    "Let's have fun together"...
[10:56] Curator B
    That's the title of the artwork.
[10:58] Gunma-chan's Mom
    But then the bucket of paint...
[11:00] Curator B
    That's part of the display!
[11:02] Curator B
    It's worth at least a few million!
[11:04] Gunma-chan's Mom
    What a trap!
[11:07] Curator B
    How rude! It's true art!
[11:09] Gunma-chan's Mom
    Gunma-chan, let's take
    a break from painting...
[11:13] Gunma-chan
    But I'm having fun.
[11:17] Gunma-chan's Mom
    I know, but we need to stop.
[11:21] Gunma-chan's Mom
    No!
[11:23] Museum Director
    What in the world...
[11:25] Curator B
    What should we do, Director?
[11:27] Curator A
    If Mr. Diver were to find out about this...
[11:34] Diver
    Oh?
[11:36] Diver
    Why are you all forming
    a wall in front of my work?
[11:39] Curator A
    Instead of showing your
    beautiful work all at once,
[11:44] Museum Director
    We thought we could act as a curtain...
[11:47] Diver
    Why, what an energetic and emotional idea.
[11:52] Gunma-chan's Mom
    I think normal people would be
    shocked to see this art.
[11:55] Gunma-chan
    Wee!
[11:58] Gunma-chan's Mom
    Gunma-chan, no!
[12:07] Diver
    Does this amuse you, young'un?
[12:09] Gunma-chan
    I'm not "Yun Gun", I'm Gunma-chan.
[12:12] Diver
    I see.
[12:14] Diver
    Are you having fun, Gunma-chan?
[12:16] Gunma-chan
    Lots of fun!
[12:18] Diver
    I see, I see.
[12:22] Diver
    That is my artwork!
[12:27] Gunma-chan
    Oh, it is?
[12:29] Diver
    It is!
[12:33] Gunma-chan
    What is "artwork"?
[12:41] Diver
    Artwork... that is... who I am!
[12:45] Diver
    I don't need any titles
    or honors, or even money!
[12:50] Diver
    I only want true art!
[12:54] Diver
    I've given everything up for my artwork!
[12:56] Diver
    None like my artwork has come before it,
    and none will appear after it!
[13:00] Diver
    I regret none of my art!
[13:05] Gunma-chan
    Art is a big bang!
[13:13] Diver
    I... am...!
[13:16] Diver
    Diver Kuhatsu!
[13:27] Gunma-chan
    Yay!
[13:29] Gunma-chan
    Gun-gun-gun ma-ma-ma...
[13:45] Diver
    Nothing holds meaning!
[13:47] Diver
    And everything holds meaning!
[13:51] Gunma-chan
    This is fun!
[13:54] Diver
    "Fun" is justice exploding!
[13:57] Gunma-chan
    So fun!
[14:01] Diver
    "Art" is justice!
[14:07] Museum Director
    It's a beautiful piece.
[14:09] Manager
    Incredible, Mr. Diver.
[14:10] Manager
    You broke another layer of your shell
    and created a new generation.
[14:15] Diver
    You reminded me why creating is so fun.
[14:19] Diver
    Why I pursue art... it's because it's fun.
[14:25] Gunma-chan
    That's good.
[14:26] Diver
    Very good.
[14:28] Gunma-chan's Mom
    Thank goodness...
[14:30] Museum Director
    Let's make the floor art
    a part of our permanent exhibit.
[14:34] Diver
    Create art you enjoy...
    As much of it as you'd like.
[14:37] Gunma-chan
    I will.

    Hello!
[15:32] Haniwa A
    You are Yayoihime-san, who hands out
    samples of Yayoihime strawberries.
[15:35] Yayoihime
    Hello. I'm happy to hear you remember me.
[15:38] Haniwa B
    Of course.
[15:39] Haniwa B
    We Haniwa all know of the

    You're so silly, Haniwa-san.
[16:25] Haniwa A
    I don't recall trying to be silly.
[16:29] Yayoihime
    If the samples were good,
    then you buy the product.
[16:31] Yayoihime
    Right?
[16:32] Haniwa B
    Oh, is that so.
[16:34] Yayoihime
    That's right.
[16:35] Haniwa C
    So you were actually doing sales
    activities with the samples.
[16:38] Haniwa D
    You could have just said so.
[16:42] Yayoihime
    I'm sorry. I may have been
    a little indirect.

    That's no problem. It's just that...

    Non-Haniwa must gain approval
    from the Village Office before

[17:00] Yayoihime
    Is that difficult?

    No, it's easy.
