AISubs v3.5
I'm a little scared.
Wow, it's amazing. It's like a dream.
People and companies in each industry are now covering the scene where the sun is shining.
Is this a work of art?
Yes, it is.
It's like a puppet.
It tells you what day it is.
There you can learn why you are in Inata.
Hinata Academy
The first place they visit is...
Good evening. I'm Hinano Kamimura of Hinata Saka46.
I came to Tokyo and Taitoku today for a reason.
There is a wonderful company that has received a lot of trust from customers around here.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of company it is.
Let's go.
Oh, is that it?
Oh, it's Watanabe, the watch repairman.
I've never held a watch before.
I was very interested in it.
I'm looking forward to visiting you today.
This time, they will cover...
Watanabe, the watch repairman, a company that does business as its name suggests.
Watanabe, the watch repairman
- Hello. - Hello, I'm Watanabe, the watch repairman.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
You repair watches.
What do you imagine when you repair watches?
I have an image of changing batteries.
- I have an image of changing batteries. - That's right.
What we deal with is something that doesn't work with electricity.
- Something that doesn't work with electricity? - Yes.
We specialize in repairing mechanical watches that move with all their might by winding screws on the outside.
There are many high-end watches being repaired.
The reason is...
In this work, we repair the inside of the watch.
- It looks like a lot of work, but... - That's right.
- What is this round thing on your eye? - That's right.
- It's a ruby, so you can enlarge only one eye. - I see.
- The watch you're repairing now is about the size of a thumb. - Is it about the size of a thumb?
- Yes. - How many watches are you repairing per month?
On average, we repair about 600 watches per month.
- 600 watches? - Yes.
That's amazing!
- Are there any other places you work in this room? - No, we only work in this room.
- Only in this room? - Yes, only in this room.
- I see five people working in this room. - That's right.
- Do you work in this number of people? - Yes, we do.
- This is our representative. - I see.
- My name is Watanabe. - Oh, are you the president?
- Yes, I am. - Wow!
- I'm sorry for being late. - Not at all.
- My name is Hinano Kamimura of 46. - I'm the representative of Watanabe.
- Thank you for coming today. - Thank you for having me.
- Oh, you're also a mechanic yourself, right? - Yes.
- I've been a technician for a long time. - I see.
President Watanabe trained at Swiss, the headquarters of luxury watches.
He's a craftsman with 30 years of experience.
- What we're working on now - Yes.
- is what we call "overhaul". - Overhaul.
- If you use it, - Yes.
- the inside will gradually get dirty - Yes.
- and the oil will deteriorate into various metals. - I see.
- We clean up all of that - Yes.
- so that it can work for another three or five years. - Yes.
- That's what we call "overhaul". - I see.
- That's what we call "overhaul". - You work so fast.
- All of our staff have been working together for over 10 years. - I see.
- So we each work while thinking about what to do next. - I see.
- Each watch has its own function. - I see.
- So we check each watch's function - Yes.
- and work within that time frame. - I see.
Each mechanical watch has its own design.
The repairmen work by grasping the mechanism.
- You get used to it, don't you? - Yes, I do.
I don't think I can get used to it.
I feel like I'm going to shake all the time.
- What's with that movement? - My hands are shaking.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
And most of the parts are below 0.5 millimeters.
Of course, if you misplace them, the watch won't work.
It's a delicate job that requires a lot of nerves!
And now, the work is done.
That's fast!
And now, the Zenmaijigake gears start to move.
If you look at it, you can see that it's moving little by little, right?
It's moving!
In addition, the secret of popularity is in places like this.
You can't see the inside of it. You can't see the machine.
I don't think customers will know what kind of work you actually did,
so when you keep it, you can take a digital camera and take a picture of the work scene and give it to me on the day of.
That's reassuring!
It's a repair product that we handle, but I thought I'd take a look at it.
Can I?
Yes, please.
Thank you very much!
Wow, it looks expensive!
It's expensive!
Wow, it's shining!
Which one do you think is the most expensive?
Among these three?
Yes.
Wow, but our Hinata Takaho T6's group color is sky blue, so I'd like it to be expensive.
Great!
Is it this one?
It's SEGA!
There's something to see!
By the way, how much do you think it is?
3 million yen or more?
It's about 17 million to 20 million yen.
Wow, it's that much!
I'm a little scared.
If it's worth about the same as my house...
Since we're here, we'll give you a quiz about it.
A quiz...
It has a function called "perpetual calendar".
What kind of function do you think it is?
Perpetual calendar...
Of course we know what a calendar is, but...
If you can imagine what "perpetual" means...
I think it will get closer to the world.
It's like a puppet...
If a puppet-like thing tells you what day it is...
Oh, I see!
Perpetual...
That's a slanted answer!
All right, that's correct!
Even if you sell it once every four years...
Like February 28th or 29th...
You don't have to match them one by one...
As long as the clock moves...
It will keep moving as it is.
Why do you know about it?
I'd like to inherit my grandchild's age and use it for a long time.
That's right.
It's our job to help you with that.
In addition...
In order for the craftsmen to feel the greatness of their work...
The Kamimura surveyors also experience "clock repair".
This mechanical clock is repaired.
Of course, if you don't put the parts in the correct position, the clock won't work.
Even compared to a one-yen coin, the parts are so small.
Can you do it?
Let's put it in order from the left side of the part and assemble it.
Yes.
Please.
Fine...
Oh, I saw it.
Which part should I put it on?
I can't see it.
Is it because you closed your mouth?
Hey!
I shouldn't have closed my mouth, right?
What?
Excuse me.
Could it be...
It's a little difficult to put it in order.
You can remove it.
Really?
Thank you very much.
Then, I will remove it and challenge it.
Hey, don't blow it up again!
Well, like this, right?
It's in the middle of the protrusion.
It's difficult.
Oh, is it in?
Yes.
It's difficult to fix the parts and the board.
But you can see it.
You are good at it.
Oh!
You are good at it.
Oh!
You are good at it!
How is it?
It's all right.
I'm glad.
I think it's good.
With such a small number of people,
with such a sense of speed,
I thought it was amazing again.
Thank you very much.
Such fine parts are carefully installed and screwed in,
I really respect it.
Thank you very much.
It's amazing.
HINATA ACADEMY
For those who have a sunny day,
there is always a nice dish for themselves.
Let me introduce you to such a powerful food!
It's here.
Is it here?
It's called "chicken food", "chicken wings".
Chicken wings
What a nice restaurant!
"Chicken Wings Shizendo", which opened in 1844.
Thank you for waiting.
- Here is your chicken soup with mochi. - Thank you very much.
The soup is very hot.
Please be careful.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
"Chicken soup with mochi", which has a lot of chicken liver in the lunch menu.
President Watanabe has some feelings about it.
When I felt that the staff's movements were strange or their expressions were dark,
I thought it would be difficult for me to answer their questions again.
So, I didn't spend 1,500 yen for lunch.
I see.
- It would be a luxury for me. - Yes, it would be.
So, when I eat at a restaurant,
I often use it to listen to their worries or to make them work with a good performance.
I see.
I'd like to eat it now.
Thank you for it.
I'm excited.
What should I do?
Thank you for it.
Wow, it's delicious.
The flavor of liver and the sweetness of egg go well with each other and it's delicious.
Could you tell me about your worries?
If you don't mind me.
I'd like you to tell me about your worries.
I'm an idol, but I don't have any special skills or anything I'm good at.
How can I find what I like and what I'm good at?
If you have something you want to do, I think it's a good idea to appeal yourself to create an environment for you to do it.
Then I'd like you to try something you're scared of.
I think it's a good idea.
It was a great reference for my idol life.
Is that so?
Yes.
Hinata Academy, what did you learn this time?
Clock repair was full of love and compassion.
I'd like to express what I want to do with love.
The next place is...
I'm Ayaka Takamata of Inatazaka46.
This time I came to Saitama Prefecture, Sayama City.
There are creators who are active all over the world here.
What kind of people are there?
I'm looking forward to it.
Let's go to the meeting place.
Is this a work?
You're a great creator!
What?
We're supposed to meet here,
but I don't think they're here yet.
Oh, they're here.
Hello.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.
- Are you the creator I'm interviewing today? - Yes, I am.
- What's your name? - My name is Hyakkimaru.
- Hyakkimaru? - Yes.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.
Don't say my name!
- What are you doing here today? - I'm playing tennis with my friends.
- Tennis? - Yes, I'm a tennis fan.
- Really? - Yes.
- You're playing tennis in the heat. - Yes, I am.
- Is it related to tennis? - No.
- Is it not? - It's related to tennis.
It sounds like tennis.
- Yes. - What is it?
A singer who sings?
- Yori-chan is blown away by the wind. - Is it correct?
- No, it's not. - It's not?
- What is it? - It's my work.
- Your work? - Yes, my work.
- Is it there? - Yes.
- Can you show me the way? - Sure, thank you.
Now, let's go to where Hyakkimaru's work is on display.
- Excuse me. - Sure, come in.
- What is it? - Here it is.
Wow!
- Is this your work? - Yes, it is.
- What is this? - Actually, it's a kirie.
- Wow! - No one in Japan has a huge kirie like this.
- Really? - Yes.
- Is it overseas? - I don't think it's overseas.
- So, only you, Mr. Hyakkimaru? - I think so.
Our guest for today is kirie artist, Mr. Hyakkimaru.
He held an exhibition worldwide.
What's the secret of his success?
KIRIE ARTIST
This is also a three-dimensional work.
It's a paper craft genre.
It's like cutting with a knife.
- Is it all cut in detail? - Yes, even the face is cut.
- Kiries don't have many characters. - Really?
- Do you often see butterflies? - Yes, we do.
Many people have blue hair, but there aren't many characters.
- Not many. - It must be hard for you.
Even in kiries, it's rare for a person with high perfectionism
to be popular overseas and hold exhibitions in various places.
What is the reaction of people overseas?
It's different from Japanese people.
When a child puts a picture in front of them, they say "cool!".
- Is that so? - It's Japan.
This work is also made in New York.
Amazing. New York style looks great.
- It was popular. - That's right.
- This is also made in New York. - This is...
- It's a rope. - Rope?
- Yes, it's called "shime rope".
Amazing. I didn't know paper could be made like this.
I want to make a 2-meter-long rope like this.
- Amazing. - And...
I want you to wrap it with red carpet.
- You can do it with a collar, right? - Yes, you can.
- Can you show me how you actually make it? - Sure.
- Can I? - Sure.
Let's see how Kirie does it.
- What should I cut? - What?
- You can cut whatever you like. - No, but it might take a while.
I see. I'd like you to do it with this picture.
Can you do it?
They're good friends. They took a picture together with a 4-meter-long rope.
- I've done it many times before. - That's right.
- But I'm really nervous. - It's difficult.
It is difficult.
- It's a very impressive name, so I can't forget it if I meet it. - Well, I can't say "what do you do?" for the first time.
- The main character is called Dodoro. - Oh.
- I worked with Mr. Tetsugamo. - Oh.
- There was a party for publishers, and Mr. Tetsugamo appeared. - Oh.
- He said he knew me. - Oh.
- So I got a call a week later. - Yes.
- There is a second animation festival in Hiroshima.
- He asked me if I could design the characters for that festival. - Oh.
- So I did it. - Oh.
- When I say I worked with Mr. Tetsugamo, foreigners are surprised. - Oh.
- Mr. Tetsugamo is very famous in foreign countries. - Oh.
- Just because I worked with him, people appreciate me a lot. - Oh.
It looks like it's easy, but it takes many years of experience and intuition to cut such a thin straight line accurately.
- God, Buddha, please. - Oh.
- Wow! - Wow!
- It's done in a short time! Cool! - Nice!
- Wow!
Please cover the secret of Mr. Tetsugamo's success!
Why did you start carving?
I went to a college of architecture.
I got a job, but I quit it in half a year.
The next job I did was as a model manager.
I did it for two and a half years, but I wanted to spend my life making things.
So I went to Aichi Prefecture to make baked goods.
Making patterns on a pass, drawing a completed picture on a pattern paper, and looking at it when it was being cut out.
It was a path called "cutting".
And my life came from being a manager.
Why is that?
Well...
Yes.
There was also a publisher for me.
I see. You were a model manager.
That's right.
I used to sell models, but now I'm selling my own paintings.
Wow!
I went around from big companies.
Wow!
High-end companies, new companies, high-ranked companies, and famous companies.
Did you jump into sales?
That's right.
I went around from such companies and got more and more jobs.
Wow!
Yes.
I see.
Yes, that's right.
That's why I started in 1927 and became a professional in 1928.
With such experience, you are now very active as a "cutting" writer, aren't you?
That's right.
No matter how many times I make a mistake, I believe in myself and do it with the feeling of "finding the path of sin".
There is a magazine called "Sunday Bunch" when I was 32 years old.
The cover of that magazine was decided to be "cutting".
Wow!
Yes.
So, I started "cutting" about four years ago.
Wow!
Your motivation for "cutting" is very high.
I think you say it very highly.
Yes.
Is there a secret to it?
Yes.
No matter how old you are, if you find something new, you want to do it.
Yes.
No matter how old you are, it's not like you will be full of ideas.
Wow!
You want to do what you want to do.
I see.
I decided to do "cutting" in front of customers.
I see.
It's something people can never do.
I don't think only "cutting" can do it.
Customers are also very surprised.
I see.
So, I think it's better to say "cutting" for a lifetime.
I don't know how many years you can do it.
If you want to do it, you can do it for many years.
Yes.
Chosai Takamoto also tries "cutting" in front of customers.
- Can you do it like this? - Yes.
- Then, like this... - The eyes are very difficult.
- Should I make it bigger? - Yes, you should make it bigger.
- I see. Then, I'll make it bigger. - Yes, yes.
- For "kirie", it's the most difficult to cut a circle. - Really?
- So, you need a technique like "how difficult it is to make a small circle". - I see.
- If you can cut a circle, you should say you can do "kirie". - Really?
- That's how difficult it is. - I see. It's difficult.
- I'll try it. - You can make it jagged.
- I see. - Yes.
First of all, the eyes.
I'm nervous.
- It's amazing. - It looks good.
- How is it? - It's amazing!
- I'm happy!
- It's really amazing! - I'm happy!
- You're good! Chosai Takamoto! - I'm happy! What is it?
- I like detailed work. - I see.
- You have a sense of cutting. - I'm happy!
- You don't have a sense of cutting. - I'm happy!
Is it that amazing?
I think it's done.
It's done!
- Does it look like a dog? - It's wonderful.
- I think it's wonderful. - Really? I'm happy!
Hinata Academy!
For those who win a prize, there is a wonderful food that you will definitely give yourself!
Introducing that kind of powerful food!
Hyakkimaru-san, please tell us about your powerful food!
Stir-frying vegetables!
Yes!
Why do you stir-fry vegetables?
Specifically, I only stir-fry vegetables.
Since I stay in my room alone and do a lot of things, I get stressed out.
So, just a little hungry, I want to eat right away.
So, I get fat right away.
Do you eat it as a diet?
Well, as long as you don't get hungry, it's fine.
How about you?
Well, I work out.
Oh, I see.
Do you run?
No, I work out.
I work out my muscles and my body.
Stir-frying vegetables gives me a lot of nutrition for my body.
So, I eat it a lot.
Oh, I see.
Stir-frying vegetables might be my powerful food.
Oh, I see.
Here you are.
Thank you for it.
The taste is the best.
It's not too strong and not too light.
It's the best flavor and it's very delicious.
- Do you work out? - Yes, I do.
I bench press and lift heavy objects.
Recently, I've been able to lift more than my own weight.
You've improved a lot, haven't you?
I think it's better for young people to start.
I'm doing it for my future.
I don't have anything negative.
I can be positive and confident.
- You're continuing it. - Yes, I am.
Hinata Academy, what did you learn today?
Just like you, who always has a dream, I want to have a dream, too.
