[00:03] him
    It's been two weeks
    since I started school.
[00:05] him
    I've gotten used to life here in Tajima.
[00:09] him
    But...
[00:17] (Flashback) tou
    Now you're officially
    part of the pottery club.
[00:19] (Flashback) tou
    I can't wait to see what you'll
    make for the fall contest.
[00:24] him
    It felt so nice when I joined, but...
[00:28] (Flashback) tou
    Oh, that?
[00:30] (Flashback) tou
    That was a plate I entered last year.
[00:34] him
    The pressure's on already...
[00:39] him
    I wonder if I can really do this.
[00:42] nao
    Hime-chan!
[00:43] Him
    Nao-chan!
[00:45] nao
    Where's Kurikuri-chan?
[00:46] him
    She's out buying some
    equipment with Touko-senpai.
[00:49] nao
    I see.
[00:52] nao
    Common.
[00:53] Him
    Huh?
[00:54] nao
    You're common.
[00:55] Him
    That's a sudden diss.
[00:57] nao
    You've got round eyes and
    features like a tanuki.
[01:00] Him
    I don't follow.
[01:02] nao
    And I love tanuki!
[01:06] nao
    I'm going to the Rescue Club
     today, so see ya!
[01:10] Him
    Rescue... Club?
SIGN    The Pottery Club is Paradise
[02:49] Him
    I wanted some advice from Nao-chan.
[02:55] (Flashback) Mik
    Just make whatever you like!
[03:00] Him
    What do I like though?
[03:05] Him
    I don't know enough to say...
[03:08] Him
    Pottery...
[03:16] Him
    This place is such a mess!
SIGN    Tokishirou
[03:19] sac
    I wonder if she can keep up with the club.
[03:22] tok
    Huh?
[03:23] sac
    The kids here start shaping
     dirt in kindergarten.
[03:28] tok
    I did, now that you mention it...
[03:30] sac
    I hope she's not feeling
    completely out of place.
[03:33] tok
    I'm sure she'll manage somehow.
[03:35] tok
    She has a surprisingly bold side to her.
[03:38] tok
    I'm more worried about her being too clumsy.
[03:42] Wom
    That's true.
[03:54] Mik
    Morning!
[03:57] Mik
    Wh-What's wrong?
[04:00] Him
    I'm so sorry!
[04:01] Him
    I tried to clean up, and
    I ended up breaking this cup!
[04:08] Tom
    Don't worry. That's how it's supposed to be.
[04:14] Tom
    This part is called koudai, the foot, and
    that little missing part is on purpose.
[04:20] Him
    So I didn't break it?
[04:22] Him
    I'm so glad.
[04:23] Tom
    Hagi ware cups often have those.
[04:26] Mik
    Right, right!
[04:27] Mik
    They're called kiri-koudai,
    right, Touko-senpai?
[04:30] tou
    That's right!
[04:33] tou
    The foot can be quite different, too.
[04:36] tou
    Like on this Bizen piece.
[04:38] tou
    Or this Karatsu piece. See?
[04:42] Him
    Mino ware sure has a lot of variety, huh?
[04:47] Him
    What, what?
[04:48] Him
    Why are you looking at me like that?
[04:49] tou
    What I just showed you
    weren't Mino ware pieces,
[04:53] tou
    they are examples of pottery
    from all over the country.
[05:00] Mik
    I got it!
[05:04] Mik
    Japan, cha cha cha!
[05:06] Mik
    Japan, cha cha cha!
[05:08] Mik
    Japan, cha cha cha!
[05:08] nao
    I know this cheer from ballet.
[05:10] Him
    Oh, you scared me.
[05:12] nao
    But it apparently originated from soccer.
[05:14] Him
    What happened to the Rescue Club?
[05:16] nao
    I'm just helping out by being registered.
[05:18] nao
    My main occupation is
    Toyokawa Hime researcher.
[05:21] Him
    What now?
[05:22] Mik
    I'm done!
[05:24] nao
    What do we need a map of Japan for?
[05:26] Mik
    We'll take all the different
    kinds of pottery in this room
[05:29] Mik
    and place them on the
    place where they're from!
[05:33] tou
    Let's start with Mino ware.
[05:35] tou
    It originates from the Tounou region.
[05:38] Him
    So small! So cute!
[05:40] Mik
    It's a miniature.
[05:41] Mik
    We got a bunch of them. I'll bring them over!
[05:43] tou
    Tounou has Japan's biggest
    pottery production base.
[05:47] tou
    They make roughly half of
    all the pottery in Japan.
[05:50] Hin
    What? Half?
[05:52] Hin
    I didn't know this region was so amazing!
[05:56] Mik
    In four-four time, we're
    going to start in the north!
[05:59] Mik
    Are you okay?
[06:01] tou
    What?
[06:02] nao
    Let's just do it.
[06:07] Mik
    Ceramics map!
[06:09] Mik
    Tochigi prefecture's Mashiko ware.
[06:11] Mik
    Ishigawa prefecture's Kutani ware.
[06:13] Mik
    Fukui prefecture has?
[06:14] Mik
    Echizen ware.
[06:15] Mik
    Aichi prefecture has two:
    Tokoname ware and Seto ware.
[06:18] Mik
    Shiga prefecture has Shigaraki ware.
    Kyoto prefecture has Kyou ware.
[06:20] Mik
    Hyougo's tradition...
[06:21] tou
    T-Tamba ware.
[06:22] Mik
    Okayama prefecture's Bizen ware.
[06:25] nao
    Yamaguchi prefecture has Hagi ware.
[06:27] nao
    Saga has Karatsu.
[06:28] nao
    Arita has Imari!
[06:29] Mik
    And the final blow is
    Kagoshima's Satsuma ware.
[06:31] both
    Yay!
[06:33] Him
    Wow!
[06:34] tou
    You sure know a lot about this.
[06:36] nao
    Oh, just some stuff I picked up
     in a trivia book.
[06:40] nao
    Now I feel kind of awkward.
[06:45] Him
    Wow, pottery is made in so many places!
[06:48] Him
    I wonder if all of these regions
    have their own pottery clubs.
[06:51] Mik
    They might.
[06:54] nao
    Oh, and we can't forget this pompoko.
[06:57] nao
    There.
[06:58] Him
    Why a tanuki?
[07:01] Him
    You're giving me that look again!
[07:03] nao
    You know, they have them
    in front of udon shops.
SIGN    Udon
SIGN    Open for business
[07:05] Him
    Those are ceramic too?
[07:07] Him
    So pottery isn't just cups and plates.
[07:10] nao
    Everybody knows that.
[07:11] nao
    And then there's this, too.
[07:15] Him
    Toilets, too? Really?
[07:16] nao
    How do you not know that?
[07:17] nao
    You're hopeless.
[07:19] tou
    There, there.
[07:21] Mik
    Then for the purpose of further study...
[07:26] Mik
    We should go to the Fuji ice cream shop.
[07:30] Mik
    Let us learn... Let us learn...
[07:34] Mik
    About Tajimi's pottery...
[07:40] Mik
    What, what? A UFO?
[07:42] nao
    I get excited every time
    I see this utility pole.
[07:50] Him
    You really are something else, Nao-chan.
[07:53] nao
    Those little white things
     are ceramic, too.
[07:56] Mik
    Oh, wow!
[07:58] tou
    Those are insulators.
[07:59] tou
    Ceramics don't conduct electricity,
[08:01] tou
    so they're perfect for insulating
    the utility pole from the wires.
[08:08] tou
    These mosaic tiles are also ceramic.
[08:10] Him
    I didn't know!
[08:12] Mik
    This is a collaboration piece we
    all made together in grade school.
[08:16] Him
    That's a thing, too?
[08:18] nao
    In kindergarden, I drew a
    picture for the Memorial Tiles.
[08:21] nao
    They're at the station's south entrance.
[08:23] him
    I don't remember seeing those.
[08:25] tou
    They're part of the pavement,
    so they're hard to notice.
SIGN    Nagase
[08:30] Him
    There are ceramics all over the place, huh?
[08:33] Mik
    Tajimi isn't called a
    pottery town for nothing!
[08:37] Mik
    There's amazing stuff this way, too!
[08:39] Mik
    Come on, hurry up!
[08:42] Him
    Okay!
[08:44] him
    Okay...
[08:50] Mik
    Mino ware of a kappa couple!
[08:53] Him
    Why.. Why kappa, though?
[08:55] Mik
    Supposedly, some important person
    over in the shopping district
[08:58] Mik
    had a dream where a kappa told them:
    "You gotta make a kappa square!"
[09:02] Him
    It's impressive that they actually
    made them based on that.
[09:06] tou
    The color is really nice though, huh?
[09:08] tou
    It really has that special
    Mino ware feel to it.
[09:11] Him
    It must have been really hard
    to fire such big pieces.
[09:14] tou
    They were actually fired as separate
    pieces and then assembled here.
[09:19] Him
    You can put the pieces
    together like that as well?!
[09:22] Him
    So it's not just cups and
    plates you can make,
[09:23] mik
    Did you know your grades go up
    if you touch this Kappa's head?
[09:26] Him
    but something dynamic or free...
[09:27] mik
    Hime-chan, you should touch it, too!
[09:28] tou
    Mika-chan, you shouldn't climb that.
[09:29] Him
    Pottery is so...
[09:34] Mik
    She fell in!
[09:37] Mik
    I'm going home.
[09:38] Mik
    You guys go to the Fuji ice cream store.
[09:42] tou
    I'll walk you home.
[09:44] tou
    Naruse-san, please take Toyokawa-san there.
[09:47] Him
    We can just go next time.
[09:49] tou
    You should go since it's your first time.
[09:53] Mik
    You should.
[09:55] Mik
    I'm so cold. I want to take this off.
[09:58] tou
    You can't.
[09:59] tou
    Bye, and sorry about that.
[10:01] Him
    No problem!
[10:02] Him
    See you tomorrow, Kukuri-chan.
[10:04] Mik
    I'm skipping tomorrow.
[10:06] tou
    No, you're not.
SIGN    Fuji Ice Cream
SIGN    Jiman'yaki
[10:08] Sto
    And here are the jiman'yaki.
[10:10] Sto
    One bean paste and one chocolate.
[10:11] Sto
    Thank you!
[10:17] Him
    I'm really surprised the top
    recommendation is not ice cream.
[10:20] nao
    The kyohou grape ice cream
    has my approval, too.
[10:22] nao
    Let's have that next time.
[10:32] nao
    It's the six o'clock music.
[10:34] Hime
    Today turned out to be pretty good.
[10:37] nao
    Googoogood googoogood googoogood good!
[10:41] nao
    How auspicious.
[10:43] Hime
    You're being weird again.
[10:45] Hime
    But you know, Touko-senpai and
    Kukuri-chan are kind of odd.
[10:49] nao
    I get what you mean.
[10:50] nao
    Senpai is tired of Kurikuri-chan's
    antics, but still nice.
[10:54] Him
    Is that what childhood friends are like?
[10:58] nao
    We have that too, you know.
[11:00] Him
    Huh?
[11:01] nao
    We're kind of like old-time friends.
[11:04] Him
    Kind of?
[11:05] nao
    And you're common.
[11:07] Him
    Back to that, huh?
[11:11] Him
    I'm back!
[11:13] tok
    Welcome home.
[11:14] koi
    Welcome home, Toyokawa-san.
[11:16] Him
    Koizumi-sensei?
[11:19] Him
    Did I do something wrong?
[11:21] Koi
    Not at all. I'm just here as a customer.
[11:23] Koi
    I love coffee.
[11:25] Him
    Oh, good.
[11:28] Him
    So how's my father's coffee?
[11:30] Koi
    The bitterness and acidity is really perfect.
[11:32] Koi
    Just the way I like it.
[11:34] Koi
    I was going to buy a coffee pass,
[11:36] Koi
    but he said you don't have those.
[11:38] Him
    A coffee pass?
[11:40] Koi
    Most coffee shops in the
    Tokai region have them.
[11:43] Koi
    You pre-pay for the drinks all at once.
[11:45] Koi
    Then, you leave the pass
    at the cafe and can drink
[11:47] Koi
    coffee without needing
    to have any money on you.
[11:50] Wom
    We didn't think of that.
[11:52] Wom
    We should just throw that together
    on the computer real quick.
[11:54] Him
    Yeah!
[11:56] Koi
    So how's the pottery club?
[11:57] Koi
    I'm actually the advisor.
[11:59] Him
    Oh, I didn't know that!
[12:01] Koi
    But since I don't know much about it,
    I'm always relying on Aoki-san.
[12:06] Him
    I've been feeling like...
[12:08] Him
    I have to make something
    proper and spectacular.
[12:12] Him
    I was kind of nervous about it,
[12:15] Him
    but I'm fine now!
[12:17] Him
    I found out today that there are
    actually all kinds of ceramics!
[12:21] Koi
    That's right!
[12:22] Koi
    There are even kappa and tanukis.
[12:25] Him
    Right!
[12:27] Him
    Speaking of, Nao-chan told me today
    that I remind her of a tanuki.
[12:31] Dad
    A tanuki, huh?
[12:33] Him
    You're laughing, too?
[12:36] Dad
    Sounds good, though. The tanuki of Tajimi.
[12:39] Him
    Now I get it! I'm the tanuki of Tajimi,
[12:42] Him
    and tanuki are commonly seen here!
[12:43] Dad
    Huh?
[12:45] Him
    Mystery solved!
SIGN    This is sudden, but I got it!
SIGN    This is sudden, but I got it! Because I'm the tanuki of Tajimi!
SIGN    This is sudden, but I got it! Because I'm the tanuki of Tajimi! So that's why I'm 'common'.
SIGN    Sherlock Holmes.
SIGN    Huh?
SIGN    This is sudden, but I got it! Because I'm the tanuki of Tajimi! So that's why I'm 'common'. Huh?
