00:00:13,722 --> 00:00:16,433
AWAKENING TO THE JOY OF PAINTING

2
00:00:16,516 --> 00:00:19,185
It's Japan's free kick.
A cross is delivered!

3
00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:20,437
Yes!

4
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,189
-We scored a goal!
-Japan comes back!

5
00:00:23,773 --> 00:00:25,567
We're going to the final!

6
00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:27,819
What a wonderful shot!

7
00:00:27,902 --> 00:00:30,321
RAMEN

8
00:00:34,993 --> 00:00:37,454
Ramen after an all-nighter is the best.

9
00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:39,789
-Totally.
-Totally.

10
00:00:41,041 --> 00:00:43,460
That was the best goal ever.

11
00:00:44,044 --> 00:00:46,463
-Yes.
-The final is next.

12
00:00:46,546 --> 00:00:48,965
-That was awesome, right?
-Yes.

13
00:00:49,048 --> 00:00:50,842
PABLO PICASSO EXHIBITION

14
00:00:50,925 --> 00:00:51,843
"Picasso"?

15
00:00:58,683 --> 00:01:00,894
I don't get what's so great about Picasso.

16
00:01:02,187 --> 00:01:03,772
Even I could paint those.

17
00:01:05,190 --> 00:01:07,567
So where are we going next?

18
00:01:07,650 --> 00:01:08,902
Sumida's place?

19
00:01:08,985 --> 00:01:10,236
Sure. Drink more.

20
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:11,696
Is Yatora coming?

21
00:01:11,780 --> 00:01:12,864
He won't come.

22
00:01:13,448 --> 00:01:14,699
It's a weekday.

23
00:01:15,283 --> 00:01:16,868
He's an honor student.

24
00:01:17,452 --> 00:01:19,287
Sorry for not hanging out.

25
00:01:19,829 --> 00:01:22,165
You guys should also come to school,

26
00:01:22,248 --> 00:01:23,958
or you'll fail the classes.

27
00:01:24,042 --> 00:01:25,877
-Yeah, sure.
-Yeah, sure.

28
00:01:41,726 --> 00:01:42,560
MIDTERM TEST REPORT CARD
NAME: YATORA YAGUCHI, RANK: 4

29
00:01:42,644 --> 00:01:45,271
How did you get a rank like this? Yikes!

30
00:01:45,897 --> 00:01:48,274
A punk like you playing all day long…

31
00:01:48,358 --> 00:01:49,275
Are you a genius?

32
00:01:49,901 --> 00:01:51,528
Is it that obvious?

33
00:01:53,071 --> 00:01:54,364
Just kidding.

34
00:01:54,447 --> 00:01:56,783
I'm actually a hard worker.

35
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:01,371
I heard that
the career planning survey is coming.

36
00:02:02,163 --> 00:02:03,873
Two years before graduation.

37
00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:05,625
I have literally no idea.

38
00:02:05,708 --> 00:02:07,293
What about you, Yatora?

39
00:02:09,546 --> 00:02:11,297
You've figured it out?

40
00:02:12,507 --> 00:02:13,800
Yuka-chan!

41
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,145
Yuka-chan!

42
00:02:25,228 --> 00:02:26,896
You don't have to run!

43
00:02:28,606 --> 00:02:30,233
Yuka-chan, who?

44
00:02:31,192 --> 00:02:32,610
Is that board a nurikabe?

45
00:02:32,694 --> 00:02:33,778
Who knows?

46
00:02:37,448 --> 00:02:39,617
"My Favorite Scenery."

47
00:02:40,201 --> 00:02:42,120
Use two hours to paint this theme.

48
00:02:42,704 --> 00:02:44,581
Okay. Start painting.

49
00:02:44,664 --> 00:02:47,375
"My Favorite Scenery"?
Is this primary school?

50
00:02:47,458 --> 00:02:51,087
Just paint whatever you want
and get the grades. It's not too bad.

51
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:53,381
Yatora, let me bum a cigarette.

52
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:58,052
My favorite scenery
is burying my face in my girl's boobs.

53
00:02:58,136 --> 00:03:00,889
If you painted that,
the old lady would die of shock.

54
00:03:00,972 --> 00:03:03,141
Boy! That sounds wonderful!

55
00:03:03,725 --> 00:03:05,143
Very good choice!

56
00:03:05,727 --> 00:03:08,521
Is your girl busty?

57
00:03:08,605 --> 00:03:13,192
Hope you can capture
how big and soft they are in the painting.

58
00:03:13,276 --> 00:03:15,528
And how they jiggle.

59
00:03:18,323 --> 00:03:20,533
That old lady is crazy.

60
00:03:24,370 --> 00:03:25,288
I'm home.

61
00:03:25,872 --> 00:03:27,206
Welcome back, Yakkun.

62
00:03:27,707 --> 00:03:29,792
Had fun at your friend's place?

63
00:03:30,376 --> 00:03:32,086
Yes, it was fun.

64
00:03:41,596 --> 00:03:42,639
So exhausted.

65
00:03:43,139 --> 00:03:46,142
UNIVERSITY EXAMINATION INFORMATION

66
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:47,143
It must be Mom.

67
00:03:48,645 --> 00:03:51,022
To me, raising test scores

68
00:03:51,105 --> 00:03:53,066
or building good relationships

69
00:03:53,149 --> 00:03:55,693
is as satisfying as meeting a quota.

70
00:03:57,153 --> 00:03:59,822
I put more effort than others into that.

71
00:04:00,657 --> 00:04:02,075
And the efforts pay off.

72
00:04:02,158 --> 00:04:03,576
SUMIDA: FINAL GAME AT EIGHT.
UTASHIMA: YES!

73
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:05,161
I'm not a genius.

74
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:06,496
ANCIENT VOCABULARY, ENGLISH VOCABULARY
TOKYO UNIVERSITY ENGLISH VOCABULARY

75
00:04:06,579 --> 00:04:09,040
I feel empty receiving praise for that.

76
00:04:09,916 --> 00:04:11,626
Why is everything

77
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:13,086
so meaningless?

78
00:04:25,014 --> 00:04:26,349
Man, what a downer.

79
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:53,042
Damn.

80
00:04:53,543 --> 00:04:55,378
A painting from the art club?

81
00:04:56,713 --> 00:04:57,880
Wow.

82
00:05:01,843 --> 00:05:04,304
Why does this person have green skin?

83
00:05:04,387 --> 00:05:05,388
A goblin?

84
00:05:07,515 --> 00:05:09,017
This person's skin

85
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:10,810
also looks slightly green.

86
00:05:12,145 --> 00:05:13,271
Can you not touch it?

87
00:05:13,855 --> 00:05:15,273
It's not dry yet.

88
00:05:17,066 --> 00:05:18,401
Coming for the art club?

89
00:05:19,402 --> 00:05:21,821
It's every Tuesday and Thursday.

90
00:05:22,405 --> 00:05:23,406
Or are you

91
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,658
looking for this?

92
00:05:28,578 --> 00:05:29,412
Thanks.

93
00:05:30,413 --> 00:05:33,249
So you're a social smoker.

94
00:05:34,292 --> 00:05:36,294
It's crumpled but still full.

95
00:05:37,754 --> 00:05:42,050
If you don't like it,
just stop ruining your health for friends.

96
00:05:43,551 --> 00:05:45,553
I get worried looking at you.

97
00:05:46,763 --> 00:05:49,307
-Bye then.
-Hey, hold it.

98
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:53,811
I'm also worried about you, Ryuji,
seeing you dressing like this.

99
00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:55,313
What?

100
00:05:55,396 --> 00:05:58,941
Should you be so shameless
and talk down on me?

101
00:05:59,025 --> 00:06:00,735
Ryuji.

102
00:06:01,944 --> 00:06:04,280
Can you stop calling me by that name?

103
00:06:04,989 --> 00:06:09,494
Oh, did I strike a nerve
when I called you a social smoker?

104
00:06:09,577 --> 00:06:10,620
Pardon?

105
00:06:10,703 --> 00:06:14,207
Sorry, I don't speak weirdo.
Speak Japanese, please?

106
00:06:15,541 --> 00:06:17,460
You still have a pretty face.

107
00:06:19,003 --> 00:06:22,048
So you joined the art club.
Are you aiming for art school?

108
00:06:22,548 --> 00:06:25,468
Do you know how much the tuition fees are?

109
00:06:25,551 --> 00:06:29,222
Medical, pharmaceutical, dental,
and art schools cost the most.

110
00:06:29,806 --> 00:06:32,642
There's no promising future
after art school.

111
00:06:32,725 --> 00:06:36,604
So you better use
that pretty face to hunt a rich partner.

112
00:06:38,189 --> 00:06:40,108
Oh, my.

113
00:06:40,191 --> 00:06:43,111
You sure know a lot, Yaguchi.

114
00:06:43,194 --> 00:06:44,612
It's true.

115
00:06:44,695 --> 00:06:48,366
Going to art school
can cost you a fortune.

116
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:52,078
But it's the private art schools
that are expensive.

117
00:06:52,161 --> 00:06:55,748
The only public art school,
Tokyo University of the Arts,

118
00:06:55,832 --> 00:06:58,626
has an annual tuition fee
of only about 500,000 yen.

119
00:07:05,675 --> 00:07:08,970
I apologize for being rude
to one of the art club members.

120
00:07:09,971 --> 00:07:12,265
I don't understand
how you can do what you want

121
00:07:12,348 --> 00:07:14,642
without making a living from it.

122
00:07:15,893 --> 00:07:19,397
I would rather choose
a safer and more ordinary path.

123
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,523
Well, actually,

124
00:07:20,606 --> 00:07:25,027
almost all of the famous artists
were obsessed with money.

125
00:07:25,611 --> 00:07:29,615
Picasso would paint portraits of
art dealers in their preferred style.

126
00:07:29,699 --> 00:07:31,742
He was quite a businessman.

127
00:07:31,826 --> 00:07:33,035
Oh, really?

128
00:07:33,619 --> 00:07:37,665
Yaguchi, I think you're a little
too concerned about pleasing people.

129
00:07:39,292 --> 00:07:40,668
What I want to know

130
00:07:40,751 --> 00:07:43,004
is not the public value.

131
00:07:43,087 --> 00:07:45,965
I want to know what's valuable to you.

132
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:49,302
I don't mind you sleeping in art class.

133
00:07:49,385 --> 00:07:53,931
But you haven't started painting
your "My Favorite Scenery," right?

134
00:07:54,515 --> 00:07:57,810
Please show me the scenery
you want to share with everyone.

135
00:07:58,686 --> 00:08:00,563
Art is fun.

136
00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:03,691
People who are true
to themselves make great art.

137
00:08:03,774 --> 00:08:05,943
Art is a language without words.

138
00:08:07,904 --> 00:08:09,322
I don't get it.

139
00:08:09,906 --> 00:08:11,949
Last three minutes of the final game.

140
00:08:12,033 --> 00:08:14,452
-I'm nervous.
-A penalty kick for Japan.

141
00:08:15,036 --> 00:08:18,623
People who are true to themselves
can't survive in this society.

142
00:08:18,706 --> 00:08:20,082
Doesn't she get it?

143
00:08:20,791 --> 00:08:25,796
Art is just a bunch of freaks
playing with their talent.

144
00:08:27,298 --> 00:08:29,509
She knows nothing about me.

145
00:08:30,635 --> 00:08:32,136
This is my…

146
00:08:34,305 --> 00:08:36,474
Yes!

147
00:08:36,557 --> 00:08:38,976
Yes, it's my problem.

148
00:08:40,895 --> 00:08:41,979
Then who

149
00:08:42,563 --> 00:08:44,482
do these feelings belong to?

150
00:08:46,567 --> 00:08:48,402
It's others' hard work.

151
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,821
Not yours.

152
00:08:51,697 --> 00:08:52,573
Not mine either.

153
00:08:54,116 --> 00:08:56,244
These feelings don't belong to me.

154
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,501
PABLO PICASSO EXHIBITION

155
00:09:03,584 --> 00:09:09,507
MARCH 9 TO JUNE 10
MUNICIPAL ARTS HALL

156
00:09:15,805 --> 00:09:17,056
Are you all right?

157
00:09:17,598 --> 00:09:19,267
I'll get you some water.

158
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:21,018
Yatora, come help us.

159
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:25,273
Okay.

160
00:09:27,108 --> 00:09:29,026
Up we go.

161
00:09:33,364 --> 00:09:34,407
Hey.

162
00:09:35,992 --> 00:09:37,952
Shibuya in the early morning

163
00:09:38,035 --> 00:09:39,662
is quite nice, isn't it?

164
00:09:39,745 --> 00:09:41,706
For real? It stinks of trash.

165
00:09:42,456 --> 00:09:43,708
What's with you?

166
00:09:43,791 --> 00:09:45,668
Trying to act like a poet? Yikes!

167
00:09:48,462 --> 00:09:50,006
What am I doing?

168
00:10:02,351 --> 00:10:03,686
Wow, it's heavy.

169
00:10:05,187 --> 00:10:06,689
To the art room?

170
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:10,318
So this is your painting?

171
00:10:10,401 --> 00:10:13,029
Yes, but I'm still working on it.

172
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:17,158
Why is the left person green?

173
00:10:17,241 --> 00:10:18,701
Oh, you have a good eye.

174
00:10:20,911 --> 00:10:22,455
Classical technique.

175
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,958
If you mix a kind of red paint
called Vermilion

176
00:10:26,042 --> 00:10:27,835
with Silver White

177
00:10:27,918 --> 00:10:30,630
then paint it on Terre Verte,
the green paint,

178
00:10:30,713 --> 00:10:33,716
those complementary colors
make the skin beautiful.

179
00:10:34,383 --> 00:10:35,509
Really?

180
00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:43,726
You are amazing.

181
00:10:44,518 --> 00:10:45,603
So talented.

182
00:10:47,897 --> 00:10:49,440
I'm not talented.

183
00:10:49,940 --> 00:10:53,944
I just spend more time
thinking about art than others.

184
00:10:55,196 --> 00:10:56,238
Also,

185
00:10:56,322 --> 00:11:00,493
it's necessary to study methods
in order to make art.

186
00:11:00,576 --> 00:11:03,162
So just brushing it off as "talent"

187
00:11:03,245 --> 00:11:05,998
is like I haven't put any effort into it.

188
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:10,961
I'm sorry.

189
00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:13,339
Don't be.

190
00:11:14,215 --> 00:11:15,132
I'm sorry.

191
00:11:15,675 --> 00:11:17,635
You were just complimenting me.

192
00:11:19,970 --> 00:11:22,390
No, I understand.

193
00:11:28,396 --> 00:11:29,230
Mori,

194
00:11:29,855 --> 00:11:33,025
have you ever seen Shibuya
in the early morning?

195
00:11:36,070 --> 00:11:38,781
It's Shibuya, but…

196
00:11:38,864 --> 00:11:41,033
it's quiet and blue.

197
00:11:41,617 --> 00:11:42,451
Blue…

198
00:11:43,202 --> 00:11:44,036
Yes.

199
00:11:44,787 --> 00:11:45,788
So blue!

200
00:11:46,455 --> 00:11:47,581
Sorry.

201
00:11:48,207 --> 00:11:50,501
I only go to Tokyu Hands in Shibuya.

202
00:11:53,087 --> 00:11:54,088
But once,

203
00:11:54,630 --> 00:11:57,299
a teacher told me,

204
00:11:58,008 --> 00:11:59,969
"If it's blue to you,

205
00:12:00,052 --> 00:12:03,305
then let it be blue,
whether it's an apple or a rabbit."

206
00:12:14,775 --> 00:12:18,612
Until now, I've drawn blue things
with just one type of blue paint.

207
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,782
But then, I can only
thin the paint with water.

208
00:12:22,825 --> 00:12:25,703
Maybe I should try
layering colors like her.

209
00:12:34,378 --> 00:12:35,963
The boobs are done!

210
00:12:36,547 --> 00:12:38,090
Fill the entire page first.

211
00:12:38,674 --> 00:12:41,051
Then use a pencil to draw the buildings.

212
00:12:43,888 --> 00:12:45,055
How can I recreate

213
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:47,224
that sluggish atmosphere?

214
00:12:52,563 --> 00:12:53,606
With a silence.

215
00:12:54,148 --> 00:12:55,483
An unfamiliar Shibuya.

216
00:12:56,567 --> 00:12:58,360
Like the beginning of a new day

217
00:12:59,236 --> 00:13:00,988
before falling asleep.

218
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:10,498
A blue world.

219
00:13:20,841 --> 00:13:22,259
It stinks of trash.

220
00:13:23,135 --> 00:13:24,094
Maybe it does.

221
00:13:25,095 --> 00:13:26,931
The buildings weren't even blue.

222
00:13:27,431 --> 00:13:30,017
However, I still like all of that.

223
00:13:31,018 --> 00:13:33,020
To express that I like something

224
00:13:33,646 --> 00:13:34,522
is scary.

225
00:13:40,110 --> 00:13:42,446
Why didn't I paint this earlier?

226
00:13:48,202 --> 00:13:50,412
Yatora's painting is so blue.

227
00:13:50,996 --> 00:13:51,997
Is it the sky?

228
00:13:52,081 --> 00:13:53,541
Is it the sea?

229
00:13:56,126 --> 00:13:57,086
Yes.

230
00:14:00,214 --> 00:14:01,549
This is beautiful.

231
00:14:03,133 --> 00:14:06,011
Who painted this…

232
00:14:06,762 --> 00:14:08,055
I take it back.

233
00:14:08,138 --> 00:14:10,015
Someone praised your work.

234
00:14:11,183 --> 00:14:12,810
You are talented.

235
00:14:14,270 --> 00:14:15,813
That's Shibuya, right?

236
00:14:16,897 --> 00:14:19,316
Perhaps it's early in the morning?

237
00:14:20,025 --> 00:14:23,404
When we were about
to have ramen after an all-nighter?

238
00:14:23,487 --> 00:14:25,197
Right! I can kind of see it.

239
00:14:25,281 --> 00:14:27,449
The atmosphere was like that.

240
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:30,327
So that's how you see it, Yatora.

241
00:14:31,036 --> 00:14:31,954
Yatora?

242
00:14:35,249 --> 00:14:37,126
What?

243
00:14:37,209 --> 00:14:39,420
Yatora, you're so cute.

244
00:14:40,296 --> 00:14:43,007
At that moment,
for the first time in my life,

245
00:14:44,174 --> 00:14:46,176
I had a real talk with others.

246
00:14:49,388 --> 00:14:52,808
Listen, don't forget to
submit the survey tomorrow.

247
00:14:53,684 --> 00:14:54,685
Did you hear me?

248
00:14:54,768 --> 00:14:55,811
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

249
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:58,063
2ND YEAR
CAREER PLANNING SURVEY

250
00:14:58,731 --> 00:15:00,316
Yatora, let's go.

251
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:01,942
It's Sumida's place again.

252
00:15:02,026 --> 00:15:02,985
Yes, sure.

253
00:15:06,030 --> 00:15:07,156
What?

254
00:15:08,157 --> 00:15:10,576
YUKA: FREE AFTER SCHOOL, YATORA?
HOPE YOU CAN LEND A HAND

255
00:15:11,702 --> 00:15:14,079
So you're the helper Yuka-chan mentioned.

256
00:15:14,163 --> 00:15:17,333
Thanks, Yaguchi. I appreciate your help.

257
00:15:31,013 --> 00:15:31,847
What is it?

258
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:33,057
Nothing.

259
00:15:35,476 --> 00:15:38,145
Are you entering
a contest with that painting?

260
00:15:38,687 --> 00:15:41,607
It's for MAU's
recommendation-based entrance exam.

261
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:43,233
MAU?

262
00:15:43,317 --> 00:15:45,152
Musashino Art University.

263
00:15:45,235 --> 00:15:46,236
I see.

264
00:15:47,821 --> 00:15:50,866
Mori, what other schools
will you apply to?

265
00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:54,870
Tokyo University of the Arts
and Tama Art University, I think.

266
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:58,165
I would be relieved to
get into MAU by recommendation.

267
00:15:59,875 --> 00:16:01,627
Have you decided yet, Yuka-chan?

268
00:16:02,211 --> 00:16:03,504
Not at all.

269
00:16:04,296 --> 00:16:06,632
I went to many school festivals last year,

270
00:16:06,715 --> 00:16:08,884
but I haven't even picked a program.

271
00:16:09,426 --> 00:16:11,762
You need to decide as soon as possible.

272
00:16:11,845 --> 00:16:12,972
Yes, I know.

273
00:16:17,476 --> 00:16:18,894
Yaguchi.

274
00:16:20,187 --> 00:16:21,105
Yes?

275
00:16:21,939 --> 00:16:24,817
You made a good painting with ambition.

276
00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:28,112
In order to make the blue deeper,

277
00:16:28,195 --> 00:16:32,074
you used other cold colors
such as green and purple, right?

278
00:16:32,157 --> 00:16:33,951
Yes, randomly.

279
00:16:34,493 --> 00:16:36,787
You might have done it randomly,

280
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:40,749
but it's clear that you wanted to
express something in this painting

281
00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:44,169
by choosing the colors
to make the blue more refreshing.

282
00:16:46,255 --> 00:16:48,841
However, this painting
is not finished yet.

283
00:16:48,924 --> 00:16:51,176
Just paint with us after the cleaning.

284
00:16:57,391 --> 00:16:58,350
I won't.

285
00:16:59,143 --> 00:17:00,936
I need to go home and study.

286
00:17:03,105 --> 00:17:05,941
Being praised for my painting
did make me happy.

287
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:07,943
But…

288
00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:10,779
Saito's being replaced.

289
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,698
What an unexpected move.

290
00:17:12,781 --> 00:17:16,201
Certainly. He was
a highly anticipated player.

291
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:22,207
Listen, Yakkun.

292
00:17:22,833 --> 00:17:24,877
We can't afford a private school.

293
00:17:25,794 --> 00:17:28,213
Of course, I know that.

294
00:18:02,873 --> 00:18:05,000
Doing this is just a waste of time.

295
00:18:11,965 --> 00:18:13,217
It's a waste of time.

296
00:18:18,347 --> 00:18:19,306
A waste of time!

297
00:18:40,619 --> 00:18:42,621
Boy, you drew a lot.

298
00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:46,166
Wow. Great.

299
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:47,417
Very good works.

300
00:18:48,836 --> 00:18:52,756
Well, I was hoping you could give me
some advice on how to improve.

301
00:18:54,550 --> 00:18:56,510
I felt like I could've drawn better.

302
00:18:58,095 --> 00:18:59,304
Let's see.

303
00:18:59,972 --> 00:19:02,307
For example, this classroom scene.

304
00:19:04,393 --> 00:19:07,437
Instead of keeping everyone the same size,

305
00:19:07,521 --> 00:19:09,648
drawing distant people smaller

306
00:19:09,731 --> 00:19:11,567
can create a sense of depth.

307
00:19:11,650 --> 00:19:14,069
Wow. That's sick!

308
00:19:15,404 --> 00:19:17,781
This too. Just use this method.

309
00:19:19,032 --> 00:19:20,117
You're right.

310
00:19:28,041 --> 00:19:30,961
Still, you did a great job
in this scenery.

311
00:19:31,545 --> 00:19:36,425
When you feel joy, excitement,
and passion while making art,

312
00:19:36,508 --> 00:19:39,261
the viewer will also enjoy your work.

313
00:19:42,723 --> 00:19:44,975
Well, we should get going.

314
00:19:49,354 --> 00:19:51,023
-Saeki Sensei.
-Yes?

315
00:19:53,609 --> 00:19:55,819
Why go to art school
if there's no guarantee

316
00:19:55,903 --> 00:19:57,988
that you can make a living with it?

317
00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:06,246
You can get a closer look at
the works and productions of your peers.

318
00:20:06,330 --> 00:20:09,249
And they have
abundant resources and equipment.

319
00:20:10,083 --> 00:20:13,212
More opportunities to
showcase your work to people.

320
00:20:13,295 --> 00:20:15,505
And you can learn various techniques.

321
00:20:16,089 --> 00:20:20,177
That doesn't mean you can't paint
without going to art school.

322
00:20:20,719 --> 00:20:24,556
Many great artworks were made as a hobby.

323
00:20:25,849 --> 00:20:26,850
However…

324
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,771
"Just leave your passion as a hobby."

325
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:34,274
That's something
an adult would say, I think.

326
00:20:35,859 --> 00:20:40,030
Kids who don't try their best
are the ones who don't have passion.

327
00:20:41,365 --> 00:20:47,537
Isn't it just natural to put everything
you have into pursuing your passion?

328
00:20:57,881 --> 00:20:58,799
I…

329
00:20:59,758 --> 00:21:02,678
To be honest, I'm feeling kind of torn.

330
00:21:03,470 --> 00:21:06,056
I just don't have the confidence.

331
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:10,769
Do you think I could

332
00:21:11,353 --> 00:21:12,813
get into an art school?

333
00:21:13,397 --> 00:21:14,523
I don't know.

334
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,652
But when hard workers do things they like,

335
00:21:18,735 --> 00:21:20,320
they're unstoppable.

336
00:21:23,991 --> 00:21:24,825
I…

337
00:21:25,409 --> 00:21:28,578
Tomorrow, I'll bring my club entry form.

338
00:21:29,913 --> 00:21:31,581
You just can't wait, right?

339
00:21:32,165 --> 00:21:34,543
I don't want to waste time once I decide.

340
00:21:35,043 --> 00:21:38,588
My family can't afford a private school.
TUA's my only choice.

341
00:21:39,423 --> 00:21:42,801
By the way, the painting department of TUA

342
00:21:42,884 --> 00:21:45,595
has the lowest acceptance rate in Japan.

343
00:21:46,930 --> 00:21:50,100
The acceptance rate
of new graduates is around 0.5%.

344
00:21:50,183 --> 00:21:51,518
What?

345
00:21:51,601 --> 00:21:57,357
Only about five new graduates can get in.
It's common to fail three or four times.

346
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:06,158
TUA is my only choice.

347
00:22:08,243 --> 00:22:09,369
Damn, that's crazy.

348
00:22:12,622 --> 00:22:16,251
But I've never felt so alive

349
00:22:17,461 --> 00:22:20,464
until I made that blue painting.

350
00:22:24,259 --> 00:22:27,554
I felt my heart start pounding just now.

351
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:58,937
