_g',

Let the hair flow in the wind

A sexy bodY

If I jump around in this town in my high heels

Big money coming, yeah!

At the foot of the skyscrapers

The trap of anachronism

If they're dangerous and frantic people

I'll send them all to Heaven

My darling techniques

You can keep whichever you like

Bye-bye sadness, and find out

You have nowhere to go because you're a ghost

Bye-bye sadness, and find out

I'll find you now

Ghost Sweeper

This is one of the mountains in Japan,

which are known to possess extremely strong spiritual power within

and feared by many people.

So there's supposed to be an old shrine standing alone up ahead

and no one knows why it's there or its origin.

And that shrine has a secret...

A path to a sub-world, which is a different world from this world,

opens up once every 1000 years.

And the one who reaches deep inside the sub-world

will be granted with the ancient mystery.

The ancient mystery...

It's mine.

Miss Mikami, why would you want to come to a place like this on the New Year's Eve?

What are you talking about?

Today is a very important day that comes only once every 1000 years!

Come on! Stop stalling!

What? Are we going to climb some more?

These stairs are the last ones! Good luck to you!

How dare she slave me like this until the very last moment of the year?

We'll get there before anyone else.

It looks that way.

What is this crowd?

Hey, Reiko! I knew you would come, too!

So the entire industry knows about this? Jeez... Don't they have anything better to do?

What about YOU?

And HE must be the source of the information...

Come around! I've got the copies of the ancient document for 50,000 yen!

Buy one if you don't own it yet!

I bought it for 100,000 yen...

Hold it for a sec!

A happy...

New Year!

The Battle of the New Year!!

I'm looking fonnard to a continuous great relationship with you!

Me, too!

Reiko, a happy new year to you!

Oh, a happy new year to you, too.

Mr. Chaos, Miss Maria, a happy new year!

A happy new year!

HAPPINESS

HAPPINESS This particular moment of a new year seems so artificial and lame.

This particular moment of a new year seems so artificial and lame.

This makes me grateful that I was born Japanese!

It would make it even better if I were in a warm room, lying on a girl's lap!

I wish I were in the kotatsu, eating some oranges...

Pete! Look, it's started!

It seems like it's time for the New Year's visit to shrine!

This is an opponunity that comes only once every 1000 years!

The entrance to the sub-world will open!

So all these people are here for that?

They're all trying to get there first.

In order to get my hands on the ancient mystery, I can't afford to lose this race!

It opened! That's the entrance!

Let's move in, Maria!

Yes, Dr. Chaos!

Let's go!

Mr. Yokoshima, hurry!

Let's not do this, Miss Mikami!

Pete, stay with me!

Please don't push!

Everyone is full of energy.

This ancient document was quite popular among them. I should've charged them a little more.

Oh, well. I should let them take care of the rest.

As long as they buy my copies of the ancient document, I'm happy.

This race is all about getting there first!

Yakuchin, the owner of Yakuchindo store,

has already dropped out from the race without even crossing the starting line!

Oh my! Where are you, Reiko?

You're in my way! All you flies, back off!

Move! Move!

See ya, Meiko!

Wait up, Reiko! I'm not good at stuff like this!

Pete, I want you to protect me, okay?

If I knew this was going to happen,

I would've stayed home with Master Karasu and watched Kohaku Utagassen!

Up ahead... Pass the Bat's Wing then cross the Tengu's Nose then reach the Dragon's Fang...

Let's find the Bat's Wing first!

What is up ahead of this path, which opens only once every 1000 years anyway?

The ancient Eichi will emerge to the first one to reach there

and he or she will be granted with the mysterious alchemy!

You said “ancient Etchi”?!

Th-That sure sounds wild... Ancient Etchi alchemy, huh?

Who said such a stupid thing?

Come on. It was you, Miss Mikami! You just said it. Watch.

...the ancient Eichi and...

See? You said it!

Nose bleeding!

Etchi Nose bleeding!

Etchi

Etchi Allow me to explain! Eichi isn't Etchi!

Eichi Eichi means excellent wisdom or intellectual depth!

Eichi

You got that? Jeez, we're in a hurry, so stop blabbing nonsense!

It's the mystery that gets reveled only once every 1000 years!

Don't you think that suits me, Maria?

Yes, Dr. Chaos.

All right, I'm going to get there first! Move out of my way, you idiots!

Are you okay, Dr. Chaos?

How dare they stomped on this Dr. Chaos, the genius scientist and the astonishing alchemist?

Unforgivable...

Staning now we're entering a battlefield!

Yes, Dr. Chaos!

Maria! Get all of them!

Yes, I will get all of them!

HQY, she's got a gun!

Hey you! You must be dismissing us as a bunch of extras!

Remember there are more powerful Mages and Sweepers than you guys!

That's right! Don't mess with us!

Get them!

Fine... Fire!

Rocket Arm!

Interesting!

So you want to challenge Maria, the most ferocious robot,

my absolute masterpiece, which I can't even remember how I made?

Then bring it on!

Once people called me the Demon of the Europe! For my pride, I will fight all of you!

Go, Maria!

Apparently that geezer Chaos has already forgotten the initial purpose of this whole thing...

He could be helpful sometimes, huh? See you later.

Dr. Chaos and Maria forgot the purpose of this race and dropped out of it right here.

Miss Mikami, aren't we there yet? Let's just forget about it!

Miss Mikami, look at that!

That must be the Bat's Wing.

All right! Let's get there first while that old man Chaos is stopping those idiots!

But don't you think Miss Emi and Pete are ahead of us?

I'm not worried about that.

I don't think that promiscuous girl is actually ahead of me.

Besides, Pete was being dragged by her against his will.

You're right.

Who knows? He might be laying on the ground somewhere, being jumped on by Miss Emi.

Help me!

Help me, Miss Mikami!

What do you think you're doing?!

It's only natural to want to make every opponunity to be with the man you love, isn't it?

It's no time for that, guys.

Come on! Let's go and get the mysterious alchemy you've wanted!

Pete, a woman can abandon everything for love...

There's nothing I can do about it if you want no pan of it...

I won't be able to live as long as you can, but I'll be waiting for you...

Let's go. There's no way I'll let myself get defeated by Reiko!

Miss Emi...

That just earned me a lot of points!

She's skilled when it comes to persuading men...

So, bring it on, Reiko!

You want a piece of me, you promiscuous wench?

That hurt!

Oh, no... I can't take it anymore... Pete, I'm going to die!

Miss Mikami, was that necessary to go that far?

Well, we're moving ahead. Are you okay with that?

I'm in pain... I'm going to die!

Don't say that! Get a hold of yourself!

I wonder what about that vampire attracts her so much.

This is so stupid...

Emi Ogasawara and Pete dropped out of the race here!

What was up with Emi's behavior? I don't know why but I'm getting less enthusiastic about this.

But now your No. 1 rival has been eliminated.

Lets' see. Chaos and Maria, Emi and Pete...

Wait. I thought there was one more...

One more?

Oh, no! Reiko!

Right! Miss Meiko! Oh, no! Reiko!

Right! Miss Meiko!

Many of them are coming again!

It'll take us longer to get there if we deal with them. Let's run!

Reiko, wait up! Don't leave me behind!

You're so mean...

isn't that the sound of Miss Meiko's Shikigami going wild?

I'm glad we kept a distance from her!

Due to the rampage of Meiko Rokudo's Shikigami,

many insignificant characters dropped out of the race here!

Mr. Yokoshima!

I'm going to die!

Come on, Mr. Yokoshima! Pull yourself up! I'm going to die!

Come on, Mr. Yokoshima! Pull yourself up!

This must be the Tengu's Nose.

A-Are we going to cross this?!

If we pass that rock and find the Dragon's Fang, we should be at the goal.

P-Please wait up! Miss Mikami!

You are no match for my Maria!

By the way, why did we come here in the first place?

To discover the ancient alchemy, which becomes available only once every 1000 years.

Oh, yeah! I've completely forgotten about it!

We idled our time away big time! Hurry, Maria!

Yes, Dr. Chaos.

Dr. Chaos and Maria are back in the race once again

now that they've remembered the purpose!

Miss Emi, don't get too close to me!

Move!

Hey, that's Dr. Chaos!

I watch Kotaku Utagassen every single year.

I even watched it Iive on satellite when I was living on Brado Island.

Kohaku Utagassen I even watched it Iive on satellite when I was living on Brado Island.

Kohaku Utagassen

Kohaku Utagassen And this year I even dropped the opponunity to watch it in Japan for this race!

And this year I even dropped the opponunity to watch it in Japan for this race!

I will never lose this race for the name of half-Vampire!

You sound so dependable, Pete!

You'd better not get defeated by that old man Chaos!

I can't believe she left me all by myself... Reiko is so mean...

Damn it! I'm not going to lose!

Hurry up, Pete!

Hello, everyone!

Oh, wait for me!

I'm coming, too!

Emi Ogasawara, Pete and Meiko Rokudo... They're all back in the race!

Miss Mikami, it's a dead-end up ahead.

That's strange...

We made it here before anyone else, but...

There's nothing here, huh?

This is the Dragon's Fang, isn't it?

If it's Yakuchin, who created the copy of the ancient document,

the critical information could be left out...

This is the best!

Someone should be reaching the goal by now.

Jeez, that old man...

Huh?

Something is written on it.

“The one to reach the goal first must call this phone number. Yakuchin.”

I knew it!

Yes, yes!

I've been waiting for your call!

Waiting for your call, my butt!

Oh, wow! So you're the first one to reach there, Reiko? I knew it. I'm very impressed.

That's not important!

Just hurry up and tell me what to do after reaching the Dragon's Fang!

Sure thing!

However...

You want money for it, right? How much?

(Around $480,000.) That makes it easy. Then how about 50 million yen?

F-Fifty million yen?!

That old man is greedy for real!

This opponunity comes around only once every 1000 years!

Fine. 50 million yen, right? I promise to pay you, so hurry up and tell me!

Are you sure about that, Miss Mikami?

Dragon's Fang's... Right... Yeah...

The rock, right? I got it.

Look on the walls. There should be a rock that's different from the others.

Roger!

You said a rock, right? Roger!

You said a rock, right?

One rock that looks different from the others, huh?

They all look the same, you know.

At any rate we have to find it quickly.

I'll get there first!

I won't let you!

M-Miss Mikami! I won't let you!

M-Miss Mikami!

It'll be a problem if they all get here now.

We're almost there, Pete!

SEAL EVIL

I'm going to put up a barrier.

But, Miss Mikami, those talismans are...

Now this will do it.

I'd feel ripped off if anyone, who gets here later than me, saw it even just a little bit.

($192,000 each.) But those talismans cost 20 million yen a piece.

UGH

Talisman

(That's roughly $1,250,000 total.)

Miss Mikami, don't you think it's this rock?

Yeah. Now that you said it, the way it shines seems a little different.

Try to push that rock.

Push this rock...

Are you sure this is going to be okay?

Well, I wouldn't know...

You wouldn't know? But I already pushed it... I can't believe you said that...

Wh-What's going to happen now, Miss Mikami?

I don't even know!

Pete!

The path is crumbling!

I'm scared!

M-Me, too! Help me, Maria!

Pete, don't let me go!

M-Miss Emi... You're choking me.

I can't take it anymore!

I'm so scared!

Pete!

H-H-Help!

Shortly after they returned the race, they all dropped out the race once again,

expect Mikami and the others, who got there first.

S-So this is the mystery that gets revealed once every 1000 years?!

The rock is coming out of the ground!

Watch out!

So this is the real Dragon's Fang... It's called “stone circle”.

I welcome you. I am what you seek.

I can finally get my hands on the chance that happens only once every 1000 years!

The ancient wisdom...

The mysterious alchemy...

What could it be...?

What?

Why, it's you.

Lady Himiko?!

Wh-Why are you here, Lady Himiko?

S-So the one who will grant the alchemy once every 1000 years is...

It's indeed me.

What's with the disappointing look on your face?

N-No way! I'm not disappointed at all! Right?

Exactly! It's like, we're so happy to see you again!

All the hard work we did to get here finally paid off!

Isn't that right, Miss Mikami?

O-Of course!

Oh well. It doesn't matter who you are.

Now that you're here, I will deliver my promise. Listen very carefully.

Onmakuma nomanda...

Sakuma nomanda onbasara...

Inmakuma nomanda...

What's going to happen?! Inmakuma nomanda...

Inmakuma nomanda...

Onbasara mushumuramura...

You scared me!

I don't care if it's the ancient wisdom or whatever! It's still bad on my heart!

Quiet!

Your fortune for this year is “good”.

Your fortune “GOOD" This year things are going to work out smoothly for you... Your fortune for this year is “good”.

Yhrhflo '&' fijhimflll olxflhynu...

My fortune is good...?

You will spend a lot but earn a lot, too.

MONEY You will spend a lot but earn a lot, too.

You will spend a lot but earn a lot, too.

Your love fortune seems brighter in the later half of this year.

You lucky words are “park" and “blue dress”.

Lucky Words You lucky words are “park" and “blue dress”.

You lucky words are “park" and “blue dress”.

That's all I have to say about your fortune this year.

Is that all?

That's right.

“That's right"?

So that was...

The next reading will be 1000 years later. See you then.

She said 1000 years later...

My fortune for this year is good... Love, money and blue dress...

This is fun!

I made so much money!

Jeez... I can't believe he charged me 50,000 yen for this! Crap!

That hurt! What did you do that for?

Your sake is getting cold.

Pete, I'm drunk...

You only had some juice!

This is what New Year's Day is all about!

Mr. Yokoshima, here's an orange for you.

So tell me, Reiko. What was the alchemy that happens only once every 1000 years about?

You wouldn't believe how unbelievable it is!

50 million yen, and the talismans that I used for the barrier cost 40 million yen...

There's no way I could tell her the truth for free after spending that much money!

Tell me!

No way!

Miss Meiko, actually what happened was seriously...

That's not fair! Only you guys know what happened?

Once again the legend will be passed down

and another battle royale will take place in 1000 years.

You can find out what happens then in Ghost Sweeper Mikami in 1000 years!

To Be Continued In 1000 Years You can find out what happens then in Ghost Sweeper Mikami in 1000 years!

You can find out what happens then in Ghost Sweeper Mikami in 1000 years!

So which team won in Kohaku Utagassen anyway?

Ahem! Thank you in advance for your undying support for another year!

Thank you for your undying support for another year!! GS Mikami Ahem! Thank you in advance for your undying support for another year!

Thank you for your undying support for another year!! GS Mikami

_g',

Mr. Yokoshima, who lives next door to you?

It's a student who failed the college entrance exam three years in a row.

Once again, things aren't looking good for him this year.

But he's working so hard for it. I'm sure it'll work out for him this year!

It's not good to make a casual comment like that just to make him feel better.

He's alive. There's nothing he can't do if he puts his back to it!

Ghost Sweeper Mikami!

The College Examinee's Blues Ghost Sweeper Mikami!

The College Examinee's Blues The College Examinee's Blues!

The College Examinee's Blues!

Good luck to you!

Looking good, strike a pose

I'm on my way to take care of business

A ton of money is guaranteed

It's absolutely nonnegotiable

The more dangerous it is

The more exciting it becomes

No matter what kind of ghost it is, I take care of it

You don't cry any more

Don't run away because I know you will win

Trust only me

You don't cry any more

I'm sure tomorrow we can have

A much better time than today

Believe in me
