[11:37] (Flashback) Senpai     I'll give it my all on the other side. [11:41] Kazuki     This is the first film my senpai starred in. [11:44] Kazuki     But I avoided seeing it because I was     too terrified to find out how she did. [11:48] Yu     It stars a former actor from     your troupe. Did you know? [11:52] Kazuki     Well, yeah. [11:53] Yu     This should give you some     pointers for your audition. [12:04] Senpai     Well, this is unexpected. What gives?

[14:46] Kazuki     I liked cutting my hair above     the neck rather than growing it out. [14:51] Kazuki     And I was more comfortable     in short pants than in skirts. [14:55] Kazuki     I was a little different from the other girls, [14:58] Kazuki     but I never once hated being who I was. [15:01] Kazuki     Because I was Kazuki Mikadono. [15:05] Kazuki     I started modeling, thanks to my height. [15:08] Kazuki     The troupe recruited me when I was six,     and I debuted playing boys.
