Kyouyaku Yume is a blue-haired girl with no recollection of her identity and past. With a vaguely written clue and a turquoise pebble which she found on herself when she awoke, she goes on a journey of self-discovery.Yume is specially created by Daiyaku, a Singapore-based art group, for EOY. She is a representation of how the artists believe that people can discover their identity, talents and purpose in life through meeting people and courage to experience new things.WEB, About Yume,weblink dead, TheEOY.com, 19 February 2011,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20101118081913weblink">weblink 18 November 2010,Activities
