[02:43] wom
    Amazing!
[02:48] nar
    Even carrying the material softened

[02:56] hon
    Did you have a workout routine or something?
[02:58] ser
    You mean us?
[03:02] wak
    Every day, in the middle

[03:08] ser
    Voice acting lessons.
[03:10] wak
    Then voice training, dance, end.
[03:13] ser
    We did that for about
    ten days at a camp.
[03:16] tan
    That's exactly what I had.
[03:18] ser
    We had an audition, but
    how is it done normally?
[03:22] ser
    Do you do this kind of training yourself?
[03:24] hon
    So there are training schools,
    that's where I first went.
[03:27] hon
    And I wasn't signed with a company,
     so I barely got any work.
[03:32] hon
    I was seriously so broke, and you
    know those sweet buns they have
[03:35] hon
    at the convenience store or super market?
[03:39] hon
    The ones that are like
    98 yen for the big ones?
[03:42] wom
    Yeah.
[03:42] hon
    I honestly lived off of one for like three days.
[03:46] hon
    I was so broke.
[03:47] ser
    That's the kind of stuff I wanted to hear!
[03:49] hon
    Literally poor.
[03:49] wak
    You poor thing!
[03:52] hon
    How's this amount? Is it enough?
[03:55] miz
    Not enough.
[03:56] tan
    It's not enough!
[03:58] wak
    I thought we had a good amount.
[03:59] tan
    This isn't enough?
[04:00] miz
    It's not enough, that'll
    get you maybe this much.
[04:04] wak
    Oh, I see. From this, you only take—
[04:05] miz
    The good clay out.
[04:07] hon
    Oh, right. Not all of it is usable.
[04:08] wak
    The good stuff.
[04:09] tan
    That means this is maybe not
    even enough for one person.
[04:12] hon
    So when we were making mugs and stuff,
[04:14] hon
    that huge pile of clay must have come from
    a ridiculous amount of material.
[04:19] ser
    Oh right.
[04:20] wak
    That makes you feel so grateful.
[04:21] all
    Yeah, true.
