1
00:01:46,231 --> 00:01:47,148
Wait!

2
00:01:47,857 --> 00:01:48,691
What?

3
00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:51,903
What? Are you giving up?

4
00:01:51,986 --> 00:01:53,947
For an artist, you've got bad eyes.

5
00:01:54,447 --> 00:01:56,825
What else does it look like?

6
00:01:58,952 --> 00:02:02,372
BRAIN-RACKING

7
00:02:05,792 --> 00:02:06,709
It's started.

8
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:09,963
The assignment of the first exam,

9
00:02:10,463 --> 00:02:11,381
a self-portrait.

10
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:16,010
A self-portrait is a difficult assignment
because it's so simple.

11
00:02:16,886 --> 00:02:20,682
The easiest way is
to just draw your own appearance.

12
00:02:20,765 --> 00:02:21,933
But it has to be art.

13
00:02:22,433 --> 00:02:25,478
Self-portraits have been made
by various artists throughout history.

14
00:02:25,979 --> 00:02:29,607
Some say that they reflect
the artists themselves in that instant.

15
00:02:30,608 --> 00:02:32,277
That's what a self-portrait is.

16
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,320
In other words, this assignment…

17
00:02:35,363 --> 00:02:39,284
is about how the examinees
interpret themselves.

18
00:02:41,494 --> 00:02:44,289
The time given to me is five hours.

19
00:02:45,498 --> 00:02:47,709
Not finishing in time would be pointless,

20
00:02:47,792 --> 00:02:49,794
so I have to make a decision quickly.

21
00:02:51,045 --> 00:02:52,046
And now,

22
00:02:52,130 --> 00:02:54,757
I understand the importance
of having advantages.

23
00:02:55,758 --> 00:02:57,176
Among all these people,

24
00:02:57,260 --> 00:02:58,928
if you can't stand out,

25
00:02:59,012 --> 00:03:00,179
you're sure to fail.

26
00:03:00,805 --> 00:03:02,640
Last year's acceptance rate
of the Oil Painting Course

27
00:03:02,724 --> 00:03:03,766
was about five percent.

28
00:03:04,392 --> 00:03:07,937
Only one or two people in this room
will be accepted.

29
00:03:08,855 --> 00:03:12,025
A mediocre and unremarkable piece
would be the worst.

30
00:03:13,276 --> 00:03:16,321
On the contrary,
a terrible but eye-catching piece

31
00:03:16,404 --> 00:03:18,531
can at least leave an impression.

32
00:03:19,032 --> 00:03:22,493
First and foremost,
I need to make something I like.

33
00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:26,956
But the composition should be
simpler and more striking than usual.

34
00:03:28,333 --> 00:03:32,211
So, what do I really think of myself?

35
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:36,299
A version of myself outside the mirror,
and another one inside the mirror.

36
00:03:37,091 --> 00:03:39,552
Right now, there are two versions
of myself in this world.

37
00:03:40,553 --> 00:03:42,472
The delinquent and the honor student.

38
00:03:43,056 --> 00:03:45,475
The hard worker and the coward.

39
00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:48,478
The romantic and the realist.

40
00:03:49,646 --> 00:03:50,563
Duality.

41
00:03:51,481 --> 00:03:54,359
Antinomy is inherent in everything!

42
00:03:55,777 --> 00:04:00,615
I'll express my duality by showing both
versions inside and outside the mirror.

43
00:04:03,368 --> 00:04:05,078
It's too lame and obvious.

44
00:04:06,204 --> 00:04:08,164
It's not a bad theme though.

45
00:04:08,831 --> 00:04:13,544
It's hard to improve a picture
in a simple way.

46
00:04:13,628 --> 00:04:17,131
And are there only two sides of me
in the first place?

47
00:04:31,479 --> 00:04:32,772
Are you kidding me?

48
00:04:32,855 --> 00:04:34,857
I'm so sorry!

49
00:04:35,483 --> 00:04:36,526
What happened?

50
00:04:39,988 --> 00:04:41,739
-Everyone throws a look of pity at me.
-Excuse me…

51
00:04:41,823 --> 00:04:43,408
And immediately,

52
00:04:43,992 --> 00:04:47,912
the sounds of pencils resume
as if it's not their business.

53
00:04:49,831 --> 00:04:50,915
Dammit!

54
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:56,004
I won't be disqualified
for something like this, right?

55
00:05:06,264 --> 00:05:08,641
They'll bring a mirror here
in five minutes.

56
00:05:08,725 --> 00:05:10,184
Please go back to your seat.

57
00:05:10,268 --> 00:05:12,520
Okay. I'm very sorry.

58
00:05:16,524 --> 00:05:18,693
When the mirror was not broken,

59
00:05:18,776 --> 00:05:21,154
I was too caught up
in the image of duality.

60
00:05:21,696 --> 00:05:24,699
But the broken pieces reflect
various aspects of me.

61
00:05:25,283 --> 00:05:28,703
The shattered composition is not bad.

62
00:05:28,786 --> 00:05:31,205
But it's not really doing it for me.

63
00:05:31,998 --> 00:05:36,711
Perhaps I should divide up
the duality image even further.

64
00:05:37,587 --> 00:05:41,215
A horizontal surface can be cracked
into more pieces than a vertical one.

65
00:05:42,884 --> 00:05:44,844
Instead of facing each other…

66
00:05:51,434 --> 00:05:53,853
A new mirror for you.

67
00:05:54,437 --> 00:05:56,105
Thank you.

68
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:04,989
This composition is simple.

69
00:06:05,073 --> 00:06:07,366
The key is to show more details in it.

70
00:06:07,950 --> 00:06:08,868
In other words,

71
00:06:09,952 --> 00:06:11,287
it's a race against time.

72
00:06:12,455 --> 00:06:15,333
First, I'll use masking tape
to make frames.

73
00:06:15,416 --> 00:06:17,251
It's not a collage, so it should be okay.

74
00:06:18,294 --> 00:06:20,588
Paste the masking tape
on every other frame.

75
00:06:20,671 --> 00:06:23,257
Pick a shade of the frame and fill it.

76
00:06:24,342 --> 00:06:27,261
Powders are not allowed,
but rubbing should be fine.

77
00:06:28,513 --> 00:06:31,516
Peel off the masking tape
and consider the shadow on the face.

78
00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:35,770
Make sure the image is
contrasting and distinct.

79
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:39,941
I should draw as many details as possible
to make the art rich.

80
00:06:42,610 --> 00:06:45,404
But with too many details,
the canvas will lose focus

81
00:06:45,488 --> 00:06:47,323
and the art will be vague.

82
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:49,909
So what should I do?

83
00:06:51,661 --> 00:06:52,662
Yaguchi.

84
00:06:52,745 --> 00:06:54,622
When drawing curved areas,

85
00:06:54,705 --> 00:06:57,792
you can lighten the shade and lines

86
00:06:57,875 --> 00:07:00,294
to make them look more three-dimensional.

87
00:07:02,046 --> 00:07:04,841
I can purposely lighten certain parts.

88
00:07:05,424 --> 00:07:07,135
Since the composition is simple,

89
00:07:07,218 --> 00:07:09,929
I need to exaggerate the depth of field

90
00:07:10,012 --> 00:07:11,347
to condense it.

91
00:07:20,898 --> 00:07:23,776
We will take a one-hour lunch break now.

92
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:28,281
You won't be able to enter this room,
so bring your stuff before leaving.

93
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:33,077
Two hours left.

94
00:07:33,661 --> 00:07:35,663
I'll add details in the afternoon

95
00:07:35,746 --> 00:07:39,333
and focus on the eyes, the mouth,
and the earrings before finishing.

96
00:07:53,055 --> 00:07:54,098
But I've got to say,

97
00:07:54,682 --> 00:07:56,976
the atmosphere is so tense.

98
00:07:57,727 --> 00:08:02,315
I might be able to make friends
during the lunch break of the exam.

99
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:06,068
But most of the people here will fail.

100
00:08:07,069 --> 00:08:09,822
It's certainly stressful
even while eating.

101
00:08:10,865 --> 00:08:11,824
Excuse me.

102
00:08:13,117 --> 00:08:14,827
Are you talking to me?

103
00:08:20,082 --> 00:08:23,127
I'm really sorry
about breaking your mirror before!

104
00:08:23,211 --> 00:08:25,505
I sincerely apologize!

105
00:08:26,672 --> 00:08:27,590
Oh…

106
00:08:28,090 --> 00:08:30,635
Never mind. It's totally fine.

107
00:08:30,718 --> 00:08:33,304
On the contrary, it relieved my tension.

108
00:08:35,223 --> 00:08:36,432
You're too kind.

109
00:08:37,767 --> 00:08:40,311
I'm glad that I didn't ruin your work.

110
00:08:40,853 --> 00:08:41,896
And…

111
00:08:41,979 --> 00:08:43,022
Let's…

112
00:08:43,105 --> 00:08:45,274
Let's both do our best!

113
00:08:45,942 --> 00:08:48,277
Eh… okay.

114
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:49,737
Bye then.

115
00:08:51,614 --> 00:08:52,990
So cheerful.

116
00:08:53,074 --> 00:08:55,868
I've never seen someone like that
among art students.

117
00:08:56,577 --> 00:08:59,830
Looks like not all examinees
are openly hostile.

118
00:09:02,124 --> 00:09:03,042
No, that's not it.

119
00:09:03,125 --> 00:09:04,752
Everyone's just scared.

120
00:09:04,835 --> 00:09:06,045
STUDY CHARM

121
00:09:07,255 --> 00:09:08,172
Including me.

122
00:09:14,387 --> 00:09:17,056
I won't stop until the very last moment.

123
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,769
I'm making art
willingly, stylishly, and desperately.

124
00:09:22,270 --> 00:09:24,188
Wow, this is awesome.

125
00:09:24,772 --> 00:09:25,940
My brain is firing up.

126
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,192
I'm racking my brain.

127
00:09:28,859 --> 00:09:32,446
Right now, my hands are connected
straight to my brain.

128
00:09:33,531 --> 00:09:34,824
All the feelings coexist.

129
00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:37,618
My desperate wish to pass the exam,

130
00:09:37,702 --> 00:09:39,620
and my desire to kill everyone.

131
00:09:40,162 --> 00:09:42,331
I don't care about the exam anymore.

132
00:09:42,415 --> 00:09:44,542
Just please let me make this piece.

133
00:09:49,505 --> 00:09:51,257
Make sure to put your name on it.

134
00:09:51,340 --> 00:09:52,758
It's over.

135
00:09:54,010 --> 00:09:55,094
Is this art piece

136
00:09:55,177 --> 00:09:57,054
-Please put down your pencils,
-good enough to pass or not?

137
00:09:57,138 --> 00:09:58,639
-unless you want to be disqualified.
-I have no idea.

138
00:09:59,432 --> 00:10:02,685
Anyway, the first exam is over.

139
00:10:07,023 --> 00:10:08,107
Your mirror?

140
00:10:08,190 --> 00:10:10,318
That must have been a disaster, Yatora.

141
00:10:10,401 --> 00:10:11,861
It sure was.

142
00:10:11,944 --> 00:10:14,697
But I guess that's a part of luck.

143
00:10:14,780 --> 00:10:18,659
In my room, there was a guy with a topknot
who danced while drawing,

144
00:10:18,743 --> 00:10:21,329
and a pretty woman who kept groaning.

145
00:10:21,412 --> 00:10:22,955
That must have been like hell.

146
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:27,418
Well, the first exam's finally over.

147
00:10:27,501 --> 00:10:29,712
It's been a while since we got together.

148
00:10:29,795 --> 00:10:32,715
-How about having some barbecue…
-Let me go home and sleep today.

149
00:10:33,758 --> 00:10:35,468
How about you, Yotasuke?

150
00:10:36,427 --> 00:10:37,678
It was okay.

151
00:10:37,762 --> 00:10:39,388
Not as intense as I thought.

152
00:10:40,139 --> 00:10:42,975
There were a few people
who were ahead of the others.

153
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,770
But a third of them
just came for the experience.

154
00:10:46,562 --> 00:10:49,982
Now I understand
why TUA's acceptance rate is so low.

155
00:10:50,733 --> 00:10:53,611
There's a trend to apply
to TUA no matter what.

156
00:10:54,820 --> 00:10:56,572
I'll probably pass the first exam.

157
00:10:57,573 --> 00:11:01,202
But with so many people,
there must be some who pass by pure luck.

158
00:11:02,036 --> 00:11:03,496
What's really scary

159
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,122
is the second exam.

160
00:11:06,582 --> 00:11:09,919
An all-out brawl
between the lucky and the strong.

161
00:11:10,961 --> 00:11:13,756
Well, that's only
if I pass the first exam.

162
00:11:14,882 --> 00:11:16,884
Some were ahead of the others…

163
00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:20,012
Speaking of that,

164
00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:24,183
I peeked at her piece on my way home
and it was good.

165
00:11:27,061 --> 00:11:28,562
Okay, stop.

166
00:11:28,646 --> 00:11:30,606
There's no point thinking about it.

167
00:11:32,608 --> 00:11:35,778
Anyway, the first exam is over.

168
00:11:37,029 --> 00:11:38,114
Good work,

169
00:11:38,614 --> 00:11:39,532
me.

170
00:11:41,617 --> 00:11:43,077
I'll worry about the second exam

171
00:11:43,661 --> 00:11:45,830
after passing the first one.

172
00:11:47,873 --> 00:11:48,707
TOKYO ART INSTITUTE

173
00:11:48,791 --> 00:11:52,086
That's unfortunately
not the case for the TUA exam.

174
00:11:52,169 --> 00:11:53,337
Hey!

175
00:11:53,421 --> 00:11:54,839
Good work, everyone.

176
00:11:55,423 --> 00:11:58,342
But there are only seven days left
until the second exam.

177
00:11:58,426 --> 00:12:00,594
Let's keep making art today.

178
00:12:00,678 --> 00:12:04,473
It's too tough to go to prep school
the day after the exam.

179
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:07,351
My brain is not working.

180
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:10,229
The results of the first exam
will be out in three days.

181
00:12:10,312 --> 00:12:13,315
There's no time to waste waiting.

182
00:12:13,899 --> 00:12:14,859
But still,

183
00:12:15,443 --> 00:12:17,820
I totally can't switch up my mind.

184
00:12:23,451 --> 00:12:24,452
All right.

185
00:12:25,202 --> 00:12:28,622
How about we all go out
and take a breather tomorrow?

186
00:12:28,706 --> 00:12:29,874
What?

187
00:12:29,957 --> 00:12:31,125
Take a breather?

188
00:12:31,208 --> 00:12:33,627
-At this time?
-Yes.

189
00:12:33,711 --> 00:12:36,255
You've all worked really hard.

190
00:12:36,338 --> 00:12:39,633
Sometimes you just have to
get some fresh air.

191
00:12:39,717 --> 00:12:41,385
But…

192
00:12:41,469 --> 00:12:43,929
there's only one week
until the second exam.

193
00:12:44,013 --> 00:12:47,224
Every year, in the three days
leading up to the first exam results,

194
00:12:47,308 --> 00:12:49,477
no one can concentrate on making art.

195
00:12:49,977 --> 00:12:53,230
Besides, for the second exam
coming up in seven days,

196
00:12:53,314 --> 00:12:56,650
they'll ask you
to finish an oil painting in three days.

197
00:12:57,234 --> 00:12:58,569
One more thing,

198
00:12:58,652 --> 00:13:00,905
you'll need to submit a sketchbook.

199
00:13:00,988 --> 00:13:04,700
About this sketchbook,
I've heard of it before.

200
00:13:04,783 --> 00:13:06,410
But what exactly is it?

201
00:13:06,494 --> 00:13:09,079
A sketchbook is a sketchbook.

202
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:10,873
You'll have to do roughs,

203
00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:14,168
and write down the intention of your art
in the sketchbook.

204
00:13:14,752 --> 00:13:18,881
By the way, have you heard
how TUA exams are scored?

205
00:13:20,841 --> 00:13:25,012
For the first exam, you will pass
if one professor says "okay."

206
00:13:25,513 --> 00:13:26,931
But for the second exam,

207
00:13:27,014 --> 00:13:30,935
you'll need the acceptance
of two professors to remain in the game.

208
00:13:31,769 --> 00:13:34,396
Then with consideration to
all of their submissions,

209
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,525
all the professors
will judge the expressiveness

210
00:13:37,608 --> 00:13:39,527
and idiosyncrasies of each examinee.

211
00:13:40,027 --> 00:13:44,448
Basically, they'll scrutinize the intent
behind your art more closely.

212
00:13:45,032 --> 00:13:47,368
To sort out your thoughts,

213
00:13:47,451 --> 00:13:50,246
isn't it a good idea
to go out and get stimulated?

214
00:13:52,289 --> 00:13:53,958
-Let's go out!
-Let's go out!

215
00:13:54,041 --> 00:13:56,335
-Go out…
-Go out…

216
00:13:56,418 --> 00:13:58,462
-Yay!
-All right. Just switch up your minds.

217
00:13:59,046 --> 00:14:00,714
I'll be interviewing you now.

218
00:14:01,549 --> 00:14:02,550
Man.

219
00:14:03,092 --> 00:14:05,511
I really can't concentrate.

220
00:14:06,011 --> 00:14:07,721
You look so beat.

221
00:14:09,098 --> 00:14:10,599
I feel bad for him.

222
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:13,811
He said that his mirror got broken
during the first exam.

223
00:14:14,311 --> 00:14:16,063
Perhaps he couldn't draw properly.

224
00:14:16,146 --> 00:14:18,232
Yaguchi.

225
00:14:18,315 --> 00:14:20,734
How was the first exam?

226
00:14:22,861 --> 00:14:24,238
To be honest,

227
00:14:24,321 --> 00:14:27,491
I think I did a pretty good job.

228
00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:32,496
I see.

229
00:14:32,580 --> 00:14:33,956
It's interesting.

230
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:36,834
If you can finish it properly,
it'll be very impactful.

231
00:14:37,459 --> 00:14:39,336
It'd be a shame if it doesn't work out.

232
00:14:40,337 --> 00:14:44,675
Somehow, I feel like I was able to
incorporate what I've learned so far.

233
00:14:44,758 --> 00:14:46,176
But…

234
00:14:46,969 --> 00:14:50,848
I don't know if I can make anything
as good as this in the second exam.

235
00:14:53,726 --> 00:14:59,064
I've made far fewer oil paintings
than pencil drawings.

236
00:14:59,982 --> 00:15:02,776
And I've done nothing
but drawings recently.

237
00:15:03,986 --> 00:15:08,407
I started making art
later than everyone else.

238
00:15:08,991 --> 00:15:13,746
The compositions that worked for drawings
might not work for oil paintings.

239
00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:15,998
And I have little understanding of colors,

240
00:15:16,498 --> 00:15:18,167
or the properties of the oil,

241
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:21,211
or the characteristics of the materials.

242
00:15:21,712 --> 00:15:22,671
In other words,

243
00:15:23,255 --> 00:15:26,175
there are a lot of challenges
in front of you,

244
00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:29,011
but you don't know where to start.

245
00:15:33,682 --> 00:15:37,061
Well, just look forward to
tomorrow's outing.

246
00:15:37,144 --> 00:15:40,397
We'll go somewhere super fun and exciting.

247
00:15:44,401 --> 00:15:46,695
I mean, nobody's here.

248
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:54,912
Hey. Good morning…

249
00:15:56,622 --> 00:15:59,083
She always wears a uniform, right?

250
00:15:59,166 --> 00:16:02,920
Her fashion sense is way different
from what I expected.

251
00:16:05,005 --> 00:16:07,424
Are you into rock music?

252
00:16:13,889 --> 00:16:15,224
Hey!

253
00:16:15,307 --> 00:16:17,434
Sorry I'm late.

254
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:20,980
What? Just the two of you?

255
00:16:21,063 --> 00:16:22,606
Good morning, Okada.

256
00:16:23,107 --> 00:16:25,150
Seriously, good morning…

257
00:16:25,234 --> 00:16:27,069
Yaguchi, you don't look good.

258
00:16:27,569 --> 00:16:29,863
Oh, Sakuraba.

259
00:16:29,947 --> 00:16:31,365
You look so cute today.

260
00:16:33,617 --> 00:16:35,327
Isn't your outfit cute?

261
00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:37,621
-I'd wear something like this.
-Okada.

262
00:16:37,705 --> 00:16:39,248
-Where do you get these?
-So strong.

263
00:16:45,087 --> 00:16:46,255
Here are your tickets.

264
00:16:46,338 --> 00:16:49,758
Sketching is okay,
but photography is not allowed inside.

265
00:16:50,384 --> 00:16:53,262
I thought we were
going to visit an art museum.

266
00:16:53,345 --> 00:16:54,596
Wow!

267
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,016
The skeletons are so cute!

268
00:16:57,099 --> 00:16:59,476
Look at those curves!

269
00:17:00,102 --> 00:17:01,645
Okada.

270
00:17:01,729 --> 00:17:03,731
She's so excited.

271
00:17:03,814 --> 00:17:05,024
Facts!

272
00:17:06,483 --> 00:17:10,029
I'm amazed
she can properly relax with such ease.

273
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:15,159
I see.

274
00:17:15,242 --> 00:17:19,163
I've been holding my breath
to stay focused all this time.

275
00:17:20,122 --> 00:17:21,165
But

276
00:17:21,248 --> 00:17:22,916
if I keep holding my breath,

277
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,793
I'll suffocate.

278
00:17:26,003 --> 00:17:27,629
Taking a breather

279
00:17:27,713 --> 00:17:29,214
is not slacking.

280
00:17:30,924 --> 00:17:33,677
Well, well. That was fun.

281
00:17:33,761 --> 00:17:36,930
That frilled lizard skeleton was so cute!

282
00:17:37,014 --> 00:17:40,184
That specimen of
a blood vessel injection was also pretty.

283
00:17:40,267 --> 00:17:41,685
I know.

284
00:17:41,769 --> 00:17:43,771
We should have bought a pictorial record.

285
00:17:45,189 --> 00:17:46,023
Oba Sensei,

286
00:17:46,607 --> 00:17:49,193
are we going back to prep school later?

287
00:17:49,276 --> 00:17:51,403
No, we're going another round.

288
00:17:51,487 --> 00:17:52,529
-What?
-What?

289
00:17:52,613 --> 00:17:55,324
In the first round,
you were just having fun.

290
00:17:55,407 --> 00:17:58,285
In the second round,
you'll look for inspiration for art.

291
00:18:00,329 --> 00:18:03,540
Today's assignment is
to make art from observation.

292
00:18:04,124 --> 00:18:07,377
You'll make art at the prep school
based on your observations here.

293
00:18:07,878 --> 00:18:09,797
Don't just draw.

294
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,425
Think about the difference
between the first and second rounds.

295
00:18:14,635 --> 00:18:16,678
Turns out it's not just taking a break.

296
00:18:17,304 --> 00:18:20,057
But if I was told
it was an assignment from the start,

297
00:18:20,140 --> 00:18:23,310
I would have looked for something
to draw in the first round.

298
00:18:24,269 --> 00:18:26,897
Even though I'm seeing the same things,

299
00:18:27,397 --> 00:18:30,901
my focus is totally different
from the first round.

300
00:18:31,985 --> 00:18:34,071
I don't think it's just me.

301
00:18:34,905 --> 00:18:36,448
Looking at things as art,

302
00:18:36,532 --> 00:18:40,202
everyone would be
drawn to different things.

303
00:18:41,912 --> 00:18:44,289
That's what I thought.

304
00:18:45,415 --> 00:18:48,836
I didn't expect you all
to pick similar things.

305
00:18:49,461 --> 00:18:51,380
Despite having so many options,

306
00:18:51,463 --> 00:18:53,590
why were you all drawn to similar things?

307
00:18:54,258 --> 00:18:56,385
Is this the paradox of choice?

308
00:18:56,468 --> 00:18:58,595
Bingo! Well done, Yaguchi.

309
00:18:58,679 --> 00:19:02,599
When there are too many options,
humans have trouble choosing.

310
00:19:03,183 --> 00:19:06,436
But these two pieces
from Okada and Sakuraba…

311
00:19:06,937 --> 00:19:09,606
Your viewpoints
are different from the rest.

312
00:19:10,315 --> 00:19:11,567
Why did you choose these?

313
00:19:12,067 --> 00:19:15,487
Because… I'm interested in people.

314
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:19,074
So I was more drawn
to the viewers than the exhibition.

315
00:19:20,450 --> 00:19:24,079
That one had the coolest lighting.

316
00:19:24,580 --> 00:19:26,373
I see.

317
00:19:27,082 --> 00:19:29,251
What is with me?

318
00:19:30,294 --> 00:19:32,754
I was so sure people had different views.

319
00:19:33,380 --> 00:19:35,382
I'm so lame.

320
00:19:36,133 --> 00:19:37,509
Just stupid.

321
00:19:38,969 --> 00:19:41,263
I knew it from the beginning.

322
00:19:42,055 --> 00:19:44,141
I'm just a man of mediocrity.

323
00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:48,478
How's that? We haven't done
an open evaluation in a while.

324
00:19:48,562 --> 00:19:50,522
Did you make any surprising discoveries?

325
00:19:50,606 --> 00:19:55,027
You don't have to force yourself
to be eccentric or imitate others.

326
00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:57,613
In fact,
by looking at other people's work,

327
00:19:57,696 --> 00:19:59,781
you can discover
new things about yourself.

328
00:20:00,574 --> 00:20:04,244
All right. Tomorrow, the results
of TUA's first exam will be announced.

329
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:07,039
The results will be out at 10 a.m.

330
00:20:07,122 --> 00:20:10,542
They'll be on the university
bulletin board and on the web.

331
00:20:11,251 --> 00:20:13,795
Regardless of the result,
please contact me.

332
00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:18,133
Those who pass should come
to prep school for assignments as usual.

333
00:20:19,134 --> 00:20:22,054
I won't say
that the results aren't everything.

334
00:20:22,971 --> 00:20:25,265
But in the past several months,

335
00:20:25,349 --> 00:20:28,894
you guys faced
your weaknesses and strengths.

336
00:20:29,645 --> 00:20:31,146
You didn't stop making art.

337
00:20:31,855 --> 00:20:35,108
That will surely be
an asset to you one day.

338
00:20:36,526 --> 00:20:38,153
All right. See you tomorrow.

339
00:20:41,156 --> 00:20:45,327
This might be the last time
we see each other before the exam.

340
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:46,787
What a strange feeling.

341
00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:47,955
Not really.

342
00:20:48,038 --> 00:20:50,165
It'll be a week at the longest, right?

343
00:20:51,583 --> 00:20:54,461
You were like
an unmotivated cat yesterday.

344
00:20:55,045 --> 00:20:55,963
Got your confidence back?

345
00:20:56,463 --> 00:20:57,965
It's not that.

346
00:20:59,049 --> 00:21:00,550
Just don't say I'm creepy.

347
00:21:01,802 --> 00:21:04,846
Knowing that I'll have a long way to go,

348
00:21:05,514 --> 00:21:07,975
it's frustrating, but I was relieved.

349
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,896
I'm still scared to see the results,
but I feel indifferent now.

350
00:21:14,064 --> 00:21:15,107
That's creepy.

351
00:21:15,857 --> 00:21:16,984
I know.

352
00:21:19,569 --> 00:21:20,737
Goodbye, Hashida.

353
00:21:20,821 --> 00:21:21,822
See you.

354
00:21:25,075 --> 00:21:26,785
Yatora is really

355
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:28,412
such a creep.

356
00:21:36,086 --> 00:21:38,505
TUA OIL PAINTING COURSE
RESULTS OF THE FIRST EXAM

357
00:21:39,631 --> 00:21:41,300
Okay, I see.

358
00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:44,052
Got it. See you later.

359
00:21:47,097 --> 00:21:50,517
Here's the first one
who passed the first exam,

360
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,810
Kuwana.

361
00:21:54,646 --> 00:21:55,981
Good morning.

362
00:21:56,064 --> 00:21:56,982
Morning.

363
00:21:57,065 --> 00:21:58,859
Am I the only one?

364
00:21:58,942 --> 00:22:00,527
No, there are two more.

365
00:22:02,612 --> 00:22:03,780
Good morning.

366
00:22:04,614 --> 00:22:05,574
-Morning.
-Morning.

367
00:22:06,616 --> 00:22:07,868
And the last one is…

368
00:22:11,121 --> 00:22:12,289
Good morning.

369
