The stove smells nice.
**[00:57] tan**
Oh, these are so cute!
**[00:58] wak**
The colors are cute.
**[01:00] wak**
They turned a kind of cream color.

**[01:10] wom**
Okay.
**[01:10] yam**
There are pottery paints in front of you.
**[01:14] yam**
Use the water to dissolve the colors,
**[01:17] yam**
just like when you're
working with watercolors.

*Don't mix the colors.*
***SIGN*** Don't mix the colors. Don't apply the paint too thickly.
**[01:25] nar**
*Don't apply the paint too thickly.*
***SIGN*** Don't mix the colors. Don't apply the paint too thickly. Layering light colors is okay.
**[01:27] nar**
* But applying colors on top of*
* light colors is apparently okay.*

**[01:32] nar**
*So, what colors should we use?*
**[01:36] ser**
Can we start painting?
**[01:38] wom**
Shall we?!
**[01:38] hon**
Let's do it!
**[01:39] ser**
We have to pick our colors first.
**[01:40] ser**
There's some samples, but...
**[01:42] wom**
Yeah, they're labeled here, too.
**[01:44] wom**
What should I do?
**[01:44] wom**
It's so hard to choose.
**[01:46] wak**
So this sample is showing us
how vibrant a color can be, right?
**[01:51] yam**
Yes, that's right.
**[01:52] wak**
I see.
**[01:53] ser**
What should I pick?
**[01:57] hon**
I can't decide!
**[02:00] wak**
The color from the tube
looks completely different.
**[02:04] wom**
Yeah, true.
**[02:06] wak**
It makes me really nervous.
**[02:07] wak**
I'm afraid it won't turn into
this color, but it will, right?
**[02:10] yam**
Yes, it will.
**[02:12] wom**
The doubt!
**[02:13] yam**
When you first put the colors on,
they might look quite matte or pale,
***SIGN*** About Painting
The color will get more vibrant after firing,
so keep it on the lighter side.
**[02:17] yam**
but they get more intense once you fire them.
**[02:18] wom**
Ah, keep it lighter.
**[02:19] ser**
So you have to keep in mind
that the colors will deepen.
**[02:25] wak**
I'm just going to charge ahead.
**[02:26] wak**
I'm starting to paint!
**[02:28] wom**
By the way, the firing of these
won't finish today, right?
**[02:31] wom**
That'll be next time, right?
**[02:32] wom**
Aw!
**[02:35] wom**
Ack, what should I do?
**[02:38] wom**
You guys are already forging ahead.
**[02:40] ser**
Do you all already have an idea in mind?
**[02:41] all**
More or less.
**[02:44] hon**
I just made a snap decision.
**[02:46] hon**
You guys have a plan?
**[02:47] tan**
I was thinking, I'd make something
that Himeno-chan would.
**[02:51] hon**
Something Himeno-chan-esque?
**[02:52] tan**
Himeno-chan-esque.
**[02:53] hon**
That sounds good.
**[02:53] tan**
She has pink hair and pink is
the color I associate with her.
**[02:59] tan**
So I thought cherry blossoms or something.
**[03:03] wak**
Hearts... but this is already a heart
so I don't have to draw any more.
**[03:07] wom**
The impact's there.
**[03:09] ser**
I'm kind of surprised you're using
that color though, for a heart.
**[03:12] wak**
I thought I'd use two colors.
**[03:15] wak**
I figured it would be boring
to just have a red heart.
**[03:18] ser**
I see.
**[03:19] hon**
My theme is making a plate
that makes you happy.
**[03:25] hon**
So I'm thinking of making mine colorful.
**[03:29] tan**
Wait, I think this is pretty cute.
**[03:31] wom**
That's good!
**[03:32] tan**
Smile, smile.
**[03:33] wom**
Wow, that's really good!
**[03:34] wom**
Nice!
**[03:35] wom**
That's, that's really good!
**[03:37] tan**
I'm drawing cherry blossoms.
**[03:38] wom**
That's amazing Tanaka-san!
**[03:39] wom**
That's so good.
**[03:42] hon**
I'm really struggling with the
bumps I made with my own hands.
**[03:45] tan**
I know what you mean.
**[03:48] hon**
When I was using my fingers to make
the plate, I didn't notice them.
**[03:53] yam**
When you fire them, they
become more pronounced.
**[03:55] hon**
It's kind of interesting to feel them now.
**[04:04] tan**
Himeno had such a hard time
choosing her colors.
**[04:07] wom**
Oh, yeah!
**[04:08] wom**
She really did!
**[04:09] tan**
And it'll change again, once it's fired.
**[04:11] hon**
Yeah.
**[04:13] wak**
You have to be ready.
**[04:14] wak**
This is an artistic challenge.
**[04:17] nar**
*I really struggled to take my first step.*
**[04:23] wom**
You can't make a mistake.
**[04:26] wom**
Wow, if you rub the pencil marks
with your finger, they go away.
**[04:28] wom**
Oh, really?
**[04:30] wom**
Oh, you're right. It went away.
**[04:31] wak**
To think this was made from clay.
**[04:38] ser**
There's no white, right?
**[04:40] wom**
Right.
**[04:44] yam**
If you don't paint it, it'll be white.
**[04:45] ser**
Right, if you don't paint it, it's white!
**[04:46] ser**
So leave it blank.
**[04:49] wom**
It's hard to do that.
**[04:51] ser**
Can I do this? I just gotta do it!
**[04:57] wom**
Just a bit more.
**[05:00] ser**
Oh, this color is really
pale. It's really pale.
**[05:02] ser**
You need a sizable amount of
paint to get a decent color.
**[05:06] nar**
*Everyone's concentrating so hard.*
**[05:06] ser**
See?
**[05:10] ser**
So what color do you think I should do next?
**[05:13] ser**
Yellow, pink, purple, blue, green.
**[05:19] ser**
What color do you think I should do next?
**[05:22] ser**
Dark green?
**[05:23] wak**
The color of you.
**[05:24] tan**
You're letting us vote?
**[05:26] Girl**
The color of you? Does that mean me?
**[05:30] Girl**
The color of me. I wonder what that color is.
**[05:34] nar**
* With that kind of talk,*
* a whole hour went by in a flash*
**[05:37] nar**
*and the plates were painted!*
**[05:40] nar**
*So how did we all do!?*
**[05:42] hon**
So I just made a snap decision
and just put colors down
**[05:47] hon**
and ended up with something that
might be at a king's banquet.
**[05:50] wom**
Ah I see it!
**[05:50] wom**
Totally.
**[05:51] wom**
That's amazing!
**[05:52] hon**
I think the plate turned
out good, but the back.
**[05:55] hon**
The back's reserved.
***SIGN*** Yakumo
**[05:58] Girl**
You would!
**[05:59] Girl**
That's the most Hon-chan
thing you could have done!
**[06:01] hon**
Yup.
**[06:01] wak**
And your handwriting is pretty!
**[06:02] hon**
Really?
**[06:03] tan**
That's just too cool.
**[06:05] hon**
I wanted to have some contrast.
**[06:08] hon**
A plate with a contrast.
**[06:09] wom**
Yeah, the back's reserved,
the front's lively.
**[06:11] wom**
That's cute.
**[06:11] hon**
So that's it.
**[06:12] Girl2**
Since Himeno-chan's color really is pink,
**[06:18] Girl2**
and when I think pink,
I think cherry blossoms.
**[06:20] Girl2**
So I tried to paint some cherry blossoms.
**[06:22] wom**
It looks really good! It's not just pink!
**[06:25] hon**
The gradation is amazing!
**[06:25] tan**
The purple happened to be a perfect fit.
**[06:28] tan**
So I went with pink and light purple.
**[06:30] wom**
Cute!
**[06:31] tan**
In the middle I tried some gradation,
**[06:34] tan**
but I am a bit worried about
how that will turn out.
**[06:38] wom**
Right.
**[06:39] wom**
So cute.
**[06:39] tan**
Here on the back I wrote the
name of our show and my mark.
**[06:46] ser**
Almost like an avatar.
**[06:47] wom**
An avatar! Yeah, it really is like an avatar.
**[06:50] hon**
Our hands are our avatars!
**[06:52] wak**
So I did a heart.
**[06:54] wom**
That's so cute!
**[06:54] wom**
Cute!
**[06:54] wak**
I thought I'd just do something simple.
***SIGN*** Thank you for the meal
**[06:57] wak**
I'm hoping it'll be vivid when it's done.
**[07:00] wak**
I put the spirit of
"let's finish every bite" into this.
**[07:05] wom**
There's so much love in that plate.
**[07:06] wom**
Cute.
**[07:06] wak**
Yeah.
**[07:08] wom**
That's super cute!
**[07:10] tan**
Well, I'm a bit worried and
excited about the firing.
**[07:14] tan**
On the back, I marked the date
so I'd never forget making this.
**[07:21] tan**
And signature, even though it's a bit messy.
**[07:27] tan**
That's it.
**[07:28] wom**
Yū-chan, what are you writing over there?
**[07:30] ser**
Nothing, nothing.
**[07:31] wom**
What are you adding at this point?
**[07:31] wom**
You added something!
**[07:33] wom**
You added something!
**[07:34] ser**
For the front of my plate,
**[07:36] wom**
That's adorable!
**[07:36] ser**
I wanted to make it colorful,
**[07:39] wom**
So cute!
**[07:39] ser**
so I used a bunch of colors.
**[07:41] ser**
Since the shape's already quite unique,
**[07:43] ser**
I wanted something that makes an impact.
**[07:45] ser**
And then, since it's a cat,
I put a fish on the back.
**[07:49] hon**
Oh yeah!
**[07:50] wom**
Fish!
**[07:52] ser**
And I wrote "Yakumo" on here, too.
**[07:53] wak**
I'll do that too!
**[07:55] ser**
I wrote "Yakumo" on here, too!
**[07:57] tan**
Once you start painting, you can't go back.
**[08:00] hon**
Yeah, no going back.
**[08:02] tan**
There are areas where you won't know what
it looks like until you start painting.
**[08:07] tan**
It really makes you concentrate.
**[08:09] ser**
Yeah. Me, too.
**[08:09] tan**
I was so focused.
**[08:10] wak**
We all were.
**[08:12] hon**
But we were all interacting
while we were working,
**[08:14] hon**
so it was really like we were there.
**[08:17] tan**
This is that time, huh?
**[08:19] wak**
I forgot to talk.
**[08:21] hon**
It went by in a flash though, an entire hour.
**[08:23] wom**
It did.
**[08:25] wom**
It went by so fast.
**[08:26] wak**
You can really get lost in it.
**[08:27] tan**
You get sucked in.
**[08:29] tan**
I feel like there's no limit
to how long you can do this.
**[08:31] wom**
Yeah. You keep thinking, wait,
I can make this a little better.
**[08:33] wak**
There's no end.
**[08:34] wom**
There's no end.
**[08:35] tan**
Keep going until you're really satisfied.
**[08:39] nar**
* We were so focused on painting our*
* plates that we forgot we were on TV.*
**[08:43] nar**
* I can't wait to see what*
* the fired pieces will look like!*
**[08:45] wom**
So should we start?
***SIGN*** Next time:
Making curry
**[08:47] ser**
Let's go.
**[08:47] wom**
Let's start!
**[08:49] nar**
* Next time, we're splitting into*
* teams and having a cooking contest.*
**[08:52] nar**
*We'll be making our original recipe curries!*
**[08:55] hon**
So you do it that way.
**[08:57] ser**
Soft-boiled egg!
**[08:59] wom**
Tada!
