Nice to meet you.
**[01:17] txt**
Mizuno Kenichi-san
**[01:19] hon**
Thank you so much.
**[01:20] hon**
So the clay here is the raw
material for making pottery?
**[01:24] miz**
That's right.
**[01:25] ser**
So, like this here?
**[01:28] miz**
That's correct.
**[01:29] ser**
So this raw material here—
**[01:31] ser**
I've done some homework.
**[01:32] all**
Wow!
**[01:33] all**
It's a study group!

So this is called "potter's clay."
***SIGN*** Frog Eye

Wow! Amazing!
***SIGN*** Potter's Clay

rain etc, it looks like frogs' eyes
**[01:36] miz**
In Japanese, it's called "frog eye clay."
**[01:38] miz**
When it rains, it looks like
frog eyes are looking at you.
**[01:45] ser**
I just imagined it, and now
I see frogs everywhere.
**[01:48] wak**
Please stop. I can't!
***SIGN*** Potter's clay is mainly mined in the Tokai region.
**[01:51] nar**
* Potter's clay is mainly*

***SIGN*** Frog Eye Clay
**[01:55] nar**
* and it's a high quality clay*
* that's widely used for pottery.*
**[02:01] wak**
That's so interesting. I'll remember that.
**[02:04] hon**
Then let's get digging!
**[02:08] hon**
But...
**[02:10] tan**
How should we dig here?
**[02:12] tan**
Could you show us how it's done?
**[02:13] hon**
Thank you!
**[02:16] hon**
Wow, it takes
quite a lot of strength!
**[02:18] ser**
Ah, I see.
**[02:19] hon**
So you use your foot.
**[02:20] miz**
That's right.
**[02:21] hon**
Let's give it a try!
**[02:21] tan**
Let's go!
**[02:23] hon**
And... go!
**[02:25] hon**
Oh, that's hard!
**[02:26] wak**
But...
**[02:27] tan**
It's hard.
**[02:29] tan**
This is hard work!
**[02:32] nar**
*It's hard work, and really tiring!*
**[02:35] nar**
*But then!*
**[02:37] wom**
Oh, wow!
**[02:38] wom**
Look at that!
**[02:43] wom**
Amazing!
**[02:48] nar**
* Even carrying the material softened*
* by the heavy machine is exhausting.*
**[02:52] nar**
*It's really hard work.*
**[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
of summer, about five kilometers.
**[03:05] ser**
They made us run five kilometers.
**[03:07] hon**
That's quite a lot.
**[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.
**[04:23] nar**
*After seeing how hard it is,*
**[04:25] nar**
* we're on our way to see world-class*
* pottery here in Mizunami City.*
**[04:30] nar**
*And that is...*
**[04:32] tan**
That's huge!
**[04:33] wak**
Really huge! HUGE!
**[04:35] tan**
It's there, there!
**[04:36] hon**
See there?
**[04:39] ser**

**[05:10] tan**
Yeah, they even have two!
**[05:11] ser**
That's amazing.
**[05:11] wak**
It's so close by, too.
**[05:13] wak**
This jar, huh?
**[05:14] ser**
This isn't just biggest in Japan,
it's the world's biggest, right?
**[05:16] hon**
Yeah.
**[05:17] ser**
Makes you feel proud, huh?
**[05:19] ser**
Pottery's also limitless
when it comes to size, huh?

Oh, right!
**[05:39] hon**
You're right.

Let's go closer.
**[05:42] wak**
This makes me so happy.
**[05:43] ser**
Let's go!
**[05:43] wak**
This is where we always come!
**[05:45] hon**
Yeah, right?
***SIGN*** Suigetsugama

**[05:55] mik**
Yes! This is the club room
for the pottery club!
**[05:58] him**
How is it this fancy?!
**[05:59] wak**
This is where Mika and Touko are like "sorry."
**[06:01] ser**
Where they make up!
**[06:02] wak**
Where she's apologizing!
**[06:04] hon**
I remember, it was here at the entrance!
**[06:07] ser**
And I was like this.
**[06:08] wak**
Yeah, exactly like that!
**[06:09] hon**
And when I open the door,
I'm like "Mika-chan."
**[06:09] tan**
Yeah, totally!
**[06:11] ser**
I'm sulking here.
**[06:12] hon**
And then I'm like, "We have sweets."
**[06:16] wak**
Oh, yeah. And then Mika's like, "I'll have some!"
**[06:22] nar**
* And the actual scene from*
* the anime was like this:*
**[06:24] Mik**
I already finished it. The new design.
