1
00:01:43,686 --> 00:01:45,772
Do you think I could

2
00:01:46,397 --> 00:01:47,941
get into an art school?

3
00:01:51,778 --> 00:01:52,779
I don't know.

4
00:01:53,655 --> 00:01:56,991
But when hard workers do things they like,

5
00:01:57,075 --> 00:01:58,701
they're unstoppable.

6
00:02:02,288 --> 00:02:03,373
STAFFROOM

7
00:02:03,456 --> 00:02:05,834
You know why I called you here, right?

8
00:02:05,917 --> 00:02:07,961
I'm not really sure.

9
00:02:08,044 --> 00:02:09,671
Come on.

10
00:02:09,754 --> 00:02:11,965
Just don't give me this crap.

11
00:02:12,590 --> 00:02:15,135
You're a smart kid. It's a waste.

12
00:02:15,218 --> 00:02:16,469
I'm serious.

13
00:02:16,553 --> 00:02:18,972
I want to go to art school.

14
00:02:19,055 --> 00:02:21,975
But I'm not rich,
so TUA is my only choice.

15
00:02:24,060 --> 00:02:25,854
Since when did you do art?

16
00:02:26,563 --> 00:02:28,231
I'm joining the art club.

17
00:02:30,775 --> 00:02:33,361
You haven't shown this
to your parents, have you?

18
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,613
I knew it.

19
00:02:36,197 --> 00:02:39,117
You have to convince your parents first.

20
00:02:39,701 --> 00:02:41,703
We can't afford a private school.

21
00:02:43,454 --> 00:02:44,956
Yaguchi.

22
00:02:45,957 --> 00:02:47,458
Shall we?

23
00:02:50,461 --> 00:02:53,006
I'm Yatora Yaguchi, a 2nd-year student.

24
00:02:53,089 --> 00:02:54,382
Nice to meet you.

25
00:02:56,718 --> 00:03:00,430
No one told me that
delinquents would hang out here.

26
00:03:00,513 --> 00:03:02,140
It's horrible.

27
00:03:02,223 --> 00:03:05,184
I really want to learn about art.

28
00:03:05,268 --> 00:03:07,520
Hope we can get along.

29
00:03:07,604 --> 00:03:09,981
Wait. He might be nice.

30
00:03:10,064 --> 00:03:11,858
And isn't he intelligent?

31
00:03:12,859 --> 00:03:16,321
Now, since summer vacation
starts next week,

32
00:03:16,404 --> 00:03:19,657
I've prepared a special plan
for our 1st and 2nd-years.

33
00:03:22,994 --> 00:03:26,039
Follow this plan,
and your skills will surely be improved.

34
00:03:26,122 --> 00:03:27,790
That's not a lot, right?

35
00:03:28,541 --> 00:03:30,084
So, that's not a lot?

36
00:03:30,168 --> 00:03:31,544
That's a lot!

37
00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:36,507
Use three or more different subjects
for still-lifes and watercolors.

38
00:03:36,591 --> 00:03:38,843
No more than five hours on each piece.

39
00:03:38,927 --> 00:03:41,304
Please be sure to follow this rule.

40
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:47,435
You can paste or draw anything you like
in the scrapbook. Just do what you want.

41
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:52,941
Keep a photo diary on your phone.

42
00:03:53,024 --> 00:03:55,693
Please keep composition in mind.

43
00:03:55,777 --> 00:03:58,321
Print them out and submit them.

44
00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:01,032
Lastly, make one art piece.

45
00:04:01,115 --> 00:04:04,410
It can be in any size
and made with any material.

46
00:04:04,494 --> 00:04:07,538
3D or 2D, video or manga,
anything is fine.

47
00:04:07,622 --> 00:04:11,334
Try to enjoy yourself the most
through the process.

48
00:04:12,043 --> 00:04:14,545
So let's do some still-lifes today.

49
00:04:14,629 --> 00:04:17,090
And we'll have a review session later.

50
00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:18,758
A review session?

51
00:04:18,841 --> 00:04:21,427
She'll review our works one by one.

52
00:04:21,511 --> 00:04:23,096
That's scary.

53
00:04:27,183 --> 00:04:30,061
This situation alone looks professional.

54
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:33,648
Also, everyone else
seems super good at it.

55
00:04:35,316 --> 00:04:36,567
Yaguchi.

56
00:04:36,651 --> 00:04:40,113
I guess you don't have the supplies.
I'll lend you some.

57
00:04:40,196 --> 00:04:41,823
Thank you.

58
00:04:48,037 --> 00:04:49,497
It's not a joke.

59
00:04:49,580 --> 00:04:51,749
The lead is this long on purpose.

60
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:56,504
You can show different expressions
by holding the pencil in different ways.

61
00:04:58,047 --> 00:04:58,881
Saeki Sensei.

62
00:04:59,590 --> 00:05:04,387
I've been thinking about this for a while.
Do we really need to do still-lifes?

63
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:07,307
There are many skilled artists
on the internet

64
00:05:07,390 --> 00:05:09,851
who have never done still-lifes.

65
00:05:11,853 --> 00:05:15,648
I see. Well…
Let me get straight to the point.

66
00:05:16,232 --> 00:05:19,027
Your art can be improved
even without doing still-lifes.

67
00:05:20,737 --> 00:05:23,698
However, it's an approach
that anyone can do

68
00:05:23,781 --> 00:05:27,410
and improve quickly
in all training methods.

69
00:05:28,077 --> 00:05:32,123
It’s like learning a formula
that you can apply in many ways.

70
00:05:32,206 --> 00:05:35,168
Your observation
and technical skills will improve.

71
00:05:46,888 --> 00:05:48,931
Something doesn't look right.

72
00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:51,434
I'm drawing it as I see it. But…

73
00:05:59,484 --> 00:06:01,152
She's too focused.

74
00:06:01,235 --> 00:06:02,445
That's scary.

75
00:06:10,453 --> 00:06:12,830
Yes. You're doing well, Yaguchi.

76
00:06:12,914 --> 00:06:15,833
The overall composition is nice.

77
00:06:17,335 --> 00:06:19,337
-Yaguchi?
-Yes.

78
00:06:19,420 --> 00:06:21,255
Mori is a good artist,

79
00:06:21,339 --> 00:06:23,925
but let's concentrate on this for now.

80
00:06:24,008 --> 00:06:25,843
I'm sorry.

81
00:06:26,928 --> 00:06:28,596
When drawing a shape,

82
00:06:28,679 --> 00:06:33,017
use a pencil to measure the size, angle,
and distance between objects.

83
00:06:33,101 --> 00:06:36,354
So that's the point
behind that artist pose.

84
00:06:36,854 --> 00:06:39,482
After the shapes are done, add shadows.

85
00:06:39,565 --> 00:06:42,276
The direction of light is important.

86
00:06:42,985 --> 00:06:45,530
See these shadows as big surfaces.

87
00:06:47,615 --> 00:06:51,285
Next, draw patterns, textures, and colors.

88
00:06:51,911 --> 00:06:54,455
People tend to lean in close when drawing,

89
00:06:54,539 --> 00:06:56,791
so stand up and check from time to time.

90
00:06:59,377 --> 00:07:04,799
Look carefully at the nearest, furthest,
brightest, and darkest areas.

91
00:07:04,882 --> 00:07:08,177
And draw the labels
and patterns in detail.

92
00:07:10,388 --> 00:07:12,640
When drawing curved areas,

93
00:07:12,723 --> 00:07:15,309
you can lighten the shade and lines

94
00:07:15,393 --> 00:07:18,062
to make it look more three-dimensional.

95
00:07:23,901 --> 00:07:24,944
She's so good.

96
00:07:25,570 --> 00:07:27,155
I wish I could be that good…

97
00:07:32,410 --> 00:07:33,953
Damn! This pisses me off!

98
00:07:34,036 --> 00:07:35,371
She's being nice.

99
00:07:37,165 --> 00:07:39,250
The labels and patterns are rough.

100
00:07:39,333 --> 00:07:42,336
It feels like you're not pushing yourself.

101
00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:45,089
I think you can do better, Mori.

102
00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:47,800
Yaguchi, you're next.

103
00:07:48,968 --> 00:07:52,013
You paid attention to
the direction of light.

104
00:07:52,096 --> 00:07:53,848
Please keep up the good work.

105
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:57,810
Even though I was the worst…

106
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:00,646
No, it's because I was the worst.

107
00:08:01,814 --> 00:08:06,110
I alone got special treatment
from the start.

108
00:08:11,574 --> 00:08:13,326
I'm exhausted.

109
00:08:15,328 --> 00:08:18,164
My back hurts like hell.

110
00:08:18,831 --> 00:08:21,334
My shoulders too… my eyes too…

111
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:29,008
Yakkun, If you have laundry…

112
00:08:32,595 --> 00:08:35,181
Boy, you'll catch a cold.

113
00:08:37,099 --> 00:08:39,018
2ND YEAR
CAREER PLANNING SURVEY

114
00:08:43,105 --> 00:08:44,524
TOKYO UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS

115
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:46,817
Why?

116
00:08:51,322 --> 00:08:52,740
Good morning.

117
00:08:53,741 --> 00:08:55,159
What?

118
00:08:55,743 --> 00:08:58,412
I didn't expect you'd come
during summer vacation.

119
00:08:58,496 --> 00:09:01,040
I heard the club is open twice a week.

120
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:03,543
I hang out with the guys at night anyway.

121
00:09:04,126 --> 00:09:06,295
But you even come to draw at school.

122
00:09:06,379 --> 00:09:09,173
His joining the art club
surprised me in the first place.

123
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:14,262
At that time, when I praised his work,
he seemed so happy.

124
00:09:14,345 --> 00:09:16,389
So I invited him to help the club.

125
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:19,058
Aiming for art schools?

126
00:09:19,141 --> 00:09:21,310
Never thought you were so passionate.

127
00:09:21,394 --> 00:09:22,478
What?

128
00:09:24,146 --> 00:09:25,940
You were eavesdropping…

129
00:09:26,023 --> 00:09:27,441
Don't get the wrong idea.

130
00:09:27,525 --> 00:09:29,110
I was there first.

131
00:09:29,193 --> 00:09:32,405
-You…
-Why don't you draw with us, Yuka?

132
00:09:32,488 --> 00:09:34,073
Sure.

133
00:09:37,785 --> 00:09:39,412
Before I started drawing,

134
00:09:39,495 --> 00:09:45,251
I thought making art was a kind of magic
that only a select few could use.

135
00:09:46,669 --> 00:09:48,588
But it doesn't seem to be the case.

136
00:09:49,630 --> 00:09:52,842
Now that I'm drawing,
the scenery I've always seen

137
00:09:52,925 --> 00:09:54,969
appears more clearly than before.

138
00:09:55,678 --> 00:09:56,596
I thought I knew,

139
00:09:57,179 --> 00:09:59,765
but it feels like
I knew nothing until now.

140
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:06,939
Wow, is it because I learned
how to use a brush properly?

141
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,358
It feels so good.

142
00:10:09,859 --> 00:10:11,736
My brain is in full gear.

143
00:10:11,819 --> 00:10:14,989
My hand's moving to the right places
on its own.

144
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:20,161
I'll have to tell my parents someday.

145
00:10:21,329 --> 00:10:23,748
But how can I persuade them?

146
00:10:29,086 --> 00:10:30,338
Yakkun.

147
00:10:48,314 --> 00:10:49,649
It's beautiful.

148
00:10:53,527 --> 00:10:54,737
So he's serious.

149
00:10:58,074 --> 00:11:00,493
This year, those who completed
all the tasks are…

150
00:11:00,576 --> 00:11:02,995
Yuka, Umino,

151
00:11:03,079 --> 00:11:04,080
and Yaguchi.

152
00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:07,500
And everyone made an art piece.

153
00:11:07,583 --> 00:11:10,252
Yes. Excellent.

154
00:11:10,836 --> 00:11:12,922
It's hard to tell from the still-lifes,

155
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:16,759
but their personalities shine
in the art pieces and scrapbooks.

156
00:11:16,842 --> 00:11:22,014
Comparing photos like this, you can see
everyone has a different point of view.

157
00:11:22,765 --> 00:11:25,768
Umino's scrapbook
is all about her hobbies.

158
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:28,521
Yuka-chan decorated theirs.

159
00:11:28,604 --> 00:11:30,648
Shirota, you made a costume?

160
00:11:30,731 --> 00:11:32,024
That's awesome.

161
00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:33,317
By the way…

162
00:11:33,859 --> 00:11:37,071
Yaguchi made 30 still-lifes.
Are you kidding me?

163
00:11:37,655 --> 00:11:39,782
That's nearly one each day.

164
00:11:40,908 --> 00:11:42,785
He has improved so much.

165
00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:45,788
That delinquent has great potential.

166
00:11:45,871 --> 00:11:47,665
Oh, really?

167
00:11:47,748 --> 00:11:49,542
I'm glad to hear that.

168
00:11:50,918 --> 00:11:52,461
He's not tanned at all.

169
00:11:53,838 --> 00:11:57,049
By the way, Mori,
you went to prep school this summer?

170
00:11:57,133 --> 00:11:59,218
-Yes.
-How was it?

171
00:11:59,301 --> 00:12:02,012
I guess you're the best in the class.

172
00:12:02,096 --> 00:12:04,056
-That's not true.
-What?

173
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,143
In prep school,
I was fifth from the bottom.

174
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:14,233
There are non-first timers
in prep schools.

175
00:12:14,817 --> 00:12:17,445
New graduates grow until the day of exams,

176
00:12:17,528 --> 00:12:19,321
so don't worry too much.

177
00:12:19,905 --> 00:12:23,951
Also, Mori, you have the recommendation
for MAU in three months.

178
00:12:24,034 --> 00:12:27,413
Let's focus on composing art pieces
to build a portfolio.

179
00:12:27,496 --> 00:12:28,330
I will.

180
00:12:28,914 --> 00:12:30,458
Now, let's clean up.

181
00:12:34,128 --> 00:12:35,921
Mori is incredibly good.

182
00:12:36,922 --> 00:12:40,634
And I'm not good enough
even among these art club members.

183
00:12:41,844 --> 00:12:44,555
So what's my level at the moment?

184
00:12:46,474 --> 00:12:48,225
Stop being so analytical.

185
00:12:49,685 --> 00:12:53,689
I should be proud of these pieces
and the improvements I've made.

186
00:12:59,195 --> 00:13:00,321
So gloomy.

187
00:13:00,404 --> 00:13:02,364
What's up today?

188
00:13:02,448 --> 00:13:04,116
You know,

189
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,412
the result of
Mori's recommendation for MAU…

190
00:13:08,496 --> 00:13:11,749
It should've been announced around noon.

191
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:15,461
I get that Yuka-chan is sad
since they're close to Mori,

192
00:13:15,544 --> 00:13:17,129
but why you too, Yaguchi?

193
00:13:18,214 --> 00:13:20,341
I'm also worried about Mori,

194
00:13:20,883 --> 00:13:24,094
but I've been losing steam
to do still-lifes lately.

195
00:13:24,803 --> 00:13:26,972
Maybe it's because

196
00:13:27,056 --> 00:13:30,726
you only have a vague impression
of the entrance exams for TUA.

197
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,771
Why don't you go to prep school?

198
00:13:36,232 --> 00:13:40,778
You think I can't pass the exam
by simply practicing still-lifes?

199
00:13:40,861 --> 00:13:43,155
Of course, still-lifes are essential.

200
00:13:43,739 --> 00:13:47,993
But most art students in Eastern Japan
have attended prep school.

201
00:13:48,077 --> 00:13:50,412
There's no harm in trying it out.

202
00:13:51,038 --> 00:13:52,414
I'm going.

203
00:13:52,498 --> 00:13:56,919
In fact, my grandmother asked me to go.
I'm applying for Japanese Art.

204
00:13:57,002 --> 00:13:58,671
TOKYO ART INSTITUTE APPLICATION FORM
RYUJI AYUKAWA

205
00:13:58,754 --> 00:13:59,922
And you, Yaguchi?

206
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:04,426
I want to go,
but I haven't decided on my major yet.

207
00:14:05,010 --> 00:14:07,429
And I'd have to tell Mom if I go.

208
00:14:11,016 --> 00:14:13,686
Sorry for being late, Saeki Sensei.

209
00:14:15,145 --> 00:14:19,024
The result was announced around noon,
but my mother

210
00:14:20,025 --> 00:14:22,194
insisted on ordering sushi to celebrate.

211
00:14:23,070 --> 00:14:24,905
-Congratulations.
-All right!

212
00:14:24,989 --> 00:14:27,324
-Wow. Awesome!
-I knew it.

213
00:14:27,408 --> 00:14:28,951
-Congratulations, Mori.
-Mori.

214
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:31,203
Congratulations.

215
00:14:31,787 --> 00:14:34,123
Yuka-chan, you helped me a lot.

216
00:14:34,206 --> 00:14:35,457
Thank you very much.

217
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:40,963
She passed.

218
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:42,548
Mori.

219
00:14:42,631 --> 00:14:43,757
Congratulations.

220
00:14:46,093 --> 00:14:47,720
Thank you, Yaguchi.

221
00:14:50,806 --> 00:14:51,724
Saeki Sensei.

222
00:14:51,807 --> 00:14:53,100
Yes?

223
00:14:53,183 --> 00:14:55,394
I'll choose the Oil Painting Course too.

224
00:14:57,229 --> 00:14:59,690
Ask your parents to sign this time.

225
00:15:03,235 --> 00:15:05,613
What? You haven't told your parents?

226
00:15:05,696 --> 00:15:08,866
Yes, I did. However…

227
00:15:08,949 --> 00:15:10,200
But Yakkun,

228
00:15:10,284 --> 00:15:12,620
you can't make a living by doing art.

229
00:15:12,703 --> 00:15:17,374
Then she gave me a pamphlet
for a cultural center.

230
00:15:17,458 --> 00:15:19,501
That'd make you lose confidence.

231
00:15:20,961 --> 00:15:23,255
But I still have to convince them.

232
00:15:27,134 --> 00:15:28,052
Mom.

233
00:15:28,135 --> 00:15:31,764
Is TUA not a solid university to you?

234
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:34,099
Yakkun.

235
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,769
Why do you want to go to TUA so badly?

236
00:15:47,363 --> 00:15:48,489
Yaguchi.

237
00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:53,619
I thought there were no classes
using the art room at this time.

238
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:01,043
Why did you come here?

239
00:16:01,710 --> 00:16:04,505
I'm taking my stuff home,
little by little.

240
00:16:06,382 --> 00:16:08,050
I see.

241
00:16:08,133 --> 00:16:10,010
Since you got accepted to MUA,

242
00:16:10,094 --> 00:16:12,638
you basically graduated.

243
00:16:12,721 --> 00:16:13,722
Yes.

244
00:16:15,265 --> 00:16:16,725
You'll be missed.

245
00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:20,980
But I'm also a bit excited.

246
00:16:21,063 --> 00:16:25,275
Once I'm a college student,
I can focus entirely on art.

247
00:16:26,276 --> 00:16:28,570
I'll miss these days though.

248
00:16:29,196 --> 00:16:33,534
By the way, were your parents
against your career plan?

249
00:16:34,076 --> 00:16:38,205
No, I've been doing art all the time
since I was little.

250
00:16:39,164 --> 00:16:41,083
If only I could be as good as you.

251
00:16:41,166 --> 00:16:43,252
-What?
-Nothing.

252
00:16:45,254 --> 00:16:46,839
Actually, Yaguchi.

253
00:16:47,423 --> 00:16:48,924
I want to ask a favor of you.

254
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,099
Why would she want my art?

255
00:16:57,683 --> 00:17:01,812
I'm so happy to get
a graduation gift from a cute 2nd-year.

256
00:17:01,895 --> 00:17:03,981
Please don't put pressure on me.

257
00:17:04,898 --> 00:17:07,359
I liked your art.

258
00:17:08,694 --> 00:17:11,363
I'm sorry for exchanging yours with mine.

259
00:17:11,447 --> 00:17:12,740
Don't say that.

260
00:17:13,323 --> 00:17:15,701
If not for you,

261
00:17:15,784 --> 00:17:17,911
I wouldn't have started making art.

262
00:17:17,995 --> 00:17:18,954
Really?

263
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:22,124
I like your art that much.

264
00:17:24,460 --> 00:17:25,461
Glad to hear that.

265
00:17:27,087 --> 00:17:28,005
That reminds me,

266
00:17:28,088 --> 00:17:31,633
we talked in the art room
last spring, right?

267
00:17:35,471 --> 00:17:36,388
Back then,

268
00:17:36,472 --> 00:17:40,392
I couldn't imagine
you aiming for art school.

269
00:17:40,476 --> 00:17:42,102
You looked like a punk.

270
00:17:42,186 --> 00:17:44,146
and were good at faking a smile.

271
00:17:44,772 --> 00:17:45,939
To be honest,

272
00:17:46,023 --> 00:17:48,233
I thought you were insincere at first.

273
00:17:48,317 --> 00:17:52,404
But you're actually working very hard.

274
00:17:53,322 --> 00:17:56,158
No, I…

275
00:17:56,742 --> 00:17:59,953
Me? I only do art that I like.

276
00:18:00,579 --> 00:18:04,041
That's why I tried to use my art
for the recommendation.

277
00:18:04,708 --> 00:18:07,002
I think that fits me.

278
00:18:07,503 --> 00:18:11,673
On the contrary, I don't think
I could pass the general entrance exam.

279
00:18:12,841 --> 00:18:14,426
But I do have

280
00:18:15,010 --> 00:18:16,595
some faith in you.

281
00:18:21,892 --> 00:18:25,062
Yaguchi, do you know
the origin of paintings?

282
00:18:25,896 --> 00:18:28,565
There are many theories,
but one of them is prayer.

283
00:18:29,358 --> 00:18:30,526
Therefore,

284
00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:32,694
when I'm making art, I pray that

285
00:18:32,778 --> 00:18:34,404
the person who receives it

286
00:18:34,488 --> 00:18:36,573
will go in the right direction.

287
00:18:37,491 --> 00:18:40,410
Nike is the goddess of
battle, wisdom, and victory.

288
00:18:40,911 --> 00:18:43,497
I pray for your success.

289
00:18:45,666 --> 00:18:46,583
Mori.

290
00:18:48,502 --> 00:18:50,420
You've given me courage.

291
00:18:50,504 --> 00:18:51,839
Thank you.

292
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,843
Did I finally act like a proper senior?

293
00:18:55,926 --> 00:18:56,844
You did enough.

294
00:18:58,887 --> 00:19:03,433
Mori, about my art for you, can you wait
until the graduation ceremony?

295
00:19:04,017 --> 00:19:04,935
What?

296
00:19:07,688 --> 00:19:09,857
What's this? Is that me?

297
00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:10,858
Yes.

298
00:19:11,483 --> 00:19:15,070
It makes me happy, but shouldn't we talk
about the university?

299
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:16,238
You're right.

300
00:19:16,822 --> 00:19:20,242
But I drew it because I don't know
how to express it in words.

301
00:19:21,702 --> 00:19:23,036
Art conveys things

302
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:25,330
that cannot be conveyed by words.

303
00:19:25,831 --> 00:19:29,251
I realized that there are
many interesting things and ideas

304
00:19:29,334 --> 00:19:30,335
in this world.

305
00:19:31,461 --> 00:19:35,841
When seeing it, you get to know it.
When drawing it, you get to understand it.

306
00:19:36,842 --> 00:19:39,511
At first, I wanted to draw
a portrait of you,

307
00:19:39,595 --> 00:19:42,014
like kids always do on Mother's Day.

308
00:19:42,598 --> 00:19:45,017
But when I was drawing,
I realized one thing.

309
00:19:46,351 --> 00:19:47,519
Your hands.

310
00:19:47,603 --> 00:19:50,022
You got hangnails
by washing dishes in hot water

311
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:54,776
and gained muscles unexpectedly
by carrying heavy groceries.

312
00:19:55,861 --> 00:19:57,613
As I drew it,

313
00:19:57,696 --> 00:19:59,781
I gradually remembered many things.

314
00:20:00,824 --> 00:20:04,369
You cook meat or fish
for us in turn every other day.

315
00:20:04,912 --> 00:20:08,624
And you always have
the portion that looks the worst.

316
00:20:09,124 --> 00:20:13,587
I realized that you really
only think about your family.

317
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:18,675
If I hadn't made that drawing,
I wouldn't have noticed that.

318
00:20:19,343 --> 00:20:20,385
I'm sorry.

319
00:20:21,470 --> 00:20:23,764
Sorry for not being a good son.

320
00:20:23,847 --> 00:20:24,932
I'm so sorry.

321
00:20:26,725 --> 00:20:27,601
But,

322
00:20:28,143 --> 00:20:29,353
I want to go to TUA.

323
00:20:29,978 --> 00:20:31,688
Perhaps I'm not gifted.

324
00:20:32,481 --> 00:20:37,194
But at this moment,
I want to bet everything on art.

325
00:20:37,861 --> 00:20:41,114
I want to get better
and see more of the world.

326
00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:43,283
For that,

327
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:44,952
I need your help.

328
00:20:49,539 --> 00:20:51,625
Instead of just worrying about me,

329
00:20:52,209 --> 00:20:54,836
I hope you can trust me a bit.

330
00:20:55,712 --> 00:20:57,965
Thank you for relying on me.

331
00:21:00,050 --> 00:21:03,095
And thank you for drawing this for me.

332
00:21:03,804 --> 00:21:06,723
GRADUATION CEREMONY

333
00:21:19,569 --> 00:21:20,445
Mori.

334
00:21:20,529 --> 00:21:21,738
Yamamoto.

335
00:21:21,822 --> 00:21:24,241
-Congratulations on your graduation.
-Congratulations on your graduation.

336
00:21:25,075 --> 00:21:26,618
-Thank you.
-Thank you.

337
00:21:27,411 --> 00:21:29,121
What a big bouquet.

338
00:21:29,204 --> 00:21:30,330
That's awesome.

339
00:21:30,414 --> 00:21:34,710
With these many flowers, you can get
a lot better at drawing florals.

340
00:21:34,793 --> 00:21:37,879
No, let's float them in the bath
and take a photo.

341
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:40,132
Stop those art club remarks.

342
00:21:40,716 --> 00:21:43,552
We'll make a fanzine after the exam.

343
00:21:43,635 --> 00:21:45,012
You mean a joint publication.

344
00:21:45,095 --> 00:21:47,347
I want to draw pretty girl fighters.

345
00:21:47,431 --> 00:21:48,890
-You really like that.
-Mori.

346
00:21:49,474 --> 00:21:51,810
Please do your best in university.

347
00:21:55,731 --> 00:21:56,898
Don't get me wrong…

348
00:21:57,733 --> 00:21:59,276
She just opened it.

349
00:22:00,110 --> 00:22:01,361
It's a picture of me.

350
00:22:01,445 --> 00:22:04,656
I'm not sure if I drew it well enough.

351
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:05,866
Don't worry.

352
00:22:06,533 --> 00:22:07,576
Thank you.

353
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,370
I'll cherish it.

354
00:22:10,954 --> 00:22:12,456
Mori.

355
00:22:15,876 --> 00:22:17,127
Saeki Sensei.

356
00:22:17,210 --> 00:22:19,254
Please take a photo with us.

357
00:22:20,714 --> 00:22:22,215
Sure.

358
00:23:49,553 --> 00:23:50,720
TOKYO ART INSTITUTE

359
00:23:56,059 --> 00:23:56,893
