*"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,
Aza, Gunma District in Gunma.
**[04:20] Daruma A**
Hello, I am Daruma.
**[04:23] Gunma-chan**
Hello, Daruma-san.
**[04:34] Daruma B**
Hello.
**[04:35] Daruma C**
Hello.
**[04:36] Daruma D**
Hello.
**[04:38] Daruma E**
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.
**[05:46] Gunma-chan**
To daruma!

Younger Daruma like us
aren't too worried about rules,
**[06:07] Daruma A**
but traditional older Daruma don't care
for non-Daruma being in the festival.
**[06:14] Gunma-chan**
It's okay. Being Daruma is fun!
**[06:18] Meemi**
It *really* suits you, Gunma-chan.
**[06:22] Gunma-chan**
You look good, too, Meemi.
**[06:24] Meemi**
I'm not flattered!

He stole the "ma" from the King!
**[07:01] Daruma H**
The King's "ma"...
**[07:04] Meemi**
What's going on?
**[07:05] Daruma A**
Only the King is allowed to shout "ma".
**[07:08] Daruma A**
This is a special ceremony
that only happens once a year.
**[07:14] King Daruma**
Who dares steal my spotlight?

**[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
and secure environment.
**[08:51] Museum Director**
You can count on our curators
to offer the best customer service.
**[08:57] Narrator**
* 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.
**[14:39] Diver/Gunma-chan**
Art is a *big bang*!

Why won't Yayoihime gain more traction?!
**[15:02] (Flashback) Servant A**
We're doing our best, but...
**[15:04] (Flashback) Servant B**
We're just not getting
the results we'd hoped...
**[15:08] (Flashback) Yayoihime**
Well I'm done counting on you all!
**[15:10] (Flashback) Yayoihime**
I'll go myself!
**[15:17] Yayoihime**
To start, I'll get a deal done
with a huge client!
**[15:22] Yayoihime**
My fellow people of the Haniwa Tribe!
**[15:25] Yayoihime**
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
deliciousness of Yayoihime strawberries.
**[15:43] Haniwa C**
Are you here today to share
more strawberry samples?
**[15:46] Haniwas**
We welcome you!
**[15:49] Yayoihime**
No, wait!
**[15:50] Haniwas**
Samples! Samples! Samples!
**[15:53] Yayoihime**
I told you all to wait one second!
**[16:00] Yayoihime**
Oh, excuse me for raising my voice.
**[16:03] Yayoihime**
I came today to discuss the next step.
**[16:06] Haniwa A**
The next step?
**[16:08] Yayoihime**
The samples were...
**[16:10] Haniwa B**
Delicious.
**[16:11] Haniwa C**
Delicious.
**[16:12] Haniwas**
Delicious!
**[16:14] Yayoihime**
And so you say...?
**[16:16] Haniwas**
Thank you for the meal!
**[16:18] Yayoihime**
Dead *wrong*!
**[16:22] Yayoihime**
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.
**[16:45] Haniwa A**
That's no problem. It's just that...
**[16:50] Yayoihime**
That...?
**[16:51] Haniwa B**
Non-Haniwa must gain approval
from the Village Office before
**[16:54] Haniwa B**
proceeding with product sales
activities within Haniwa Village.
**[17:00] Yayoihime**
Is that difficult?
**[17:02] Haniwa C**
No, it's easy.
**[17:03] Haniwa C**
Yayoihime-san, stay put.
**[17:06] Haniwa D**
A non-villager would like
to get approval for sales activities.
**[17:10] Haniwa D**
Yes. Yes.
**[17:12] Haniwa D**
The department responsible is on their way.
