The Return of Spaceman Maru
Maru performs an amazing act of liquification before donning his protective helmet and becoming Spaceman Maru, explorer of the living room.

Oh yes.
What am I missing? What does Vanguard have to do with anything? Why is Vanguard all over everything? I doubt it’s the financial services firm. I find a Vanguard online store that has to do with anime and trading cards, but if I type Maru into their search, nothing comes up. Is Vanguard a Japanese version of CafePress or Zazzle, and it doesn’t come up on my Google because of local results being prioritized? Toward the end she mentions Village Vanguard, and Google says that’s a jazz nightclub in Greenwich Village. More localization? I guess if I went to HER site, it’d be in the video description. I think I prefer being mystified.
The store is called Village Vanguard (“Exciting Bookstore”). I googled when I first saw the video (because the only Vanguard I’m familiar with is the investment management company) and found this article:

The video description has a link to the Maru merch page:

Thank you! I’m not sure why I couldn’t find that result, but I’m glad you can work Google better than I did.
