[00:02] ---
    My abusive boss damaged my spirit
    and my health, so I changed jobs.

[00:13] ---
    Oh, Manager. Good morning.
[00:16] ---
    Good morning.
[00:18] ---
    The cicadas
    are really loud today, aren't they?
[00:22] ---
    Th-There's a cicada on your shoulder.
[00:33] ---
    Here, you go like this.
[00:35] ---
    Right.
[00:38] ---
    Is there anything that wasn't clear
    about my explanation?
[00:40] ---
    I'm fine. That was really clear.
[00:44] ---
    I'm glad.
[00:45] ---
    You're the first person who ever
    showed me the ropes like this, Boss.
[00:49] ---
    I really appreciate it!
[00:52] ---
    Your old boss didn't show you what to do?
[00:56] ---
    I shouldn't have said that.
[00:59] ---
    Uh, well...
[01:02] ---
    Now I've made the vibe all gloomy.
[01:06] ---
    Well, let's take a break for now.
[01:09] ---
    Hey, there's an eraser stuck to his arm.
[01:13] ---
    It fell.
[01:19] ---
    Sorry. I thought it was a cicada.
[01:22] ---
    SIGH
[01:22] ---
    My boss is perched on my shoulder.
[01:25] ---
    It was an eraser.
[01:28] ---
    My new boss is goofy.

    SHOULD I CARRY YOU PIGGYBACK?
[03:04] ---
    Boss? About this seminar...

    SEMINAR FOR ADVERTISING AGENCIES
    WEB AD POLICIES
    DIGITAL MARKETING WORKSHOP
[03:10] ---
    Oh, a seminar?
[03:11] ---
    You really don't like cicadas, do you?
[03:14] ---
    Well, when I was a kid,
    I found a dead cicada on the street.
[03:24] ---
    Mr. Cicada?
[03:34] ---
    I almost died, I was so stunned.
[03:36] ---
    I feel bad for you,
    but that's adorable.

[03:38] ---
    Shirosaki, you're also scared of other things
    like monsters, right?
[03:42] ---
    Monsters.
[03:43] ---
    Yes. As a child,
    I was abducted by a namahage.
[03:47] ---
    Any sniveling kids around?
[03:52] ---
    Ever since then, the unknown
    has made me uncomfortable.
[03:55] ---
    HELP ME! HELP ME PWEASE!
[03:56] ---
    I feel bad for you,
    but that's adorable!

[04:05] ---
    Yes, you did a good job.
    Thanks, Momose.
[04:09] ---
    It's all because you explained it
    so well to me.
[04:12] ---
    No, it's because you're competent.
[04:15] ---
    In fact, when PR asked me for competent employees
    to feature in the company newsletter,
[04:19] ---
    I recommended you, Momose.
[04:22] ---
    You didn't want me to?
    Sorry I didn't ask you first.
[04:27] ---
    No, no, I'm thrilled!
[04:29] ---
    Glad to hear it.
[04:31] ---
    Oh, and they want to put
    your photo up, too, if possible.
[04:35] ---
    Well, as long as a photo
    of a guy like me is okay.
[04:38] ---
    All right, then.
[04:40] ---
    Say cheese.
[04:44] ---
    One more.
    Let's get a close-up of your face.
[04:48] ---
    All right. I'll send this to Public Relations.
[04:55] ---

    and made it my wallpaper.

    CLICK CLICK
[05:06] ---
    - Mr. Shirosaki, thanks for all your help!
    - How do I disable this?
[05:08] ---
    About the company newsletter...
[05:11] ---
    Hey, your wallpaper!
    Why is it Mr. Momose?
[05:12] ---
    BLUSH
[05:14] ---
    I guess Mr. Momose is so competent,
    you have to have him as your wallpaper!
[05:17] ---
    I'm using that for the headline!
[05:22] ---
    Still, I wonder...
[05:23] ---
    THE NEXT DAY
[05:24] ---
    My boss is so good at his job,
    so how can he be this goofy?

[05:25] ---
    COMPETENT EMPLOYEE - KENTARO MOMOSE
[05:25] ---
    RECOMMENDED BY
     PLANNING & SALES MANAGER,
    YUSEI SHIROSAKI

    SUCH A COMPETENT SUBORDINATE

[05:37] ---
    Momose?
[05:39] ---
    Our new project is an ad
    for an amusement park this time.
[05:43] ---
    I want you to go through the materials.
[05:45] ---
    Tomorrow we'll go scout
    the location together.
[05:48] ---
    Okay!
[05:50] ---
    First an aquarium,
    now an amusement park, huh?

[05:53] ---
    We have a lot of accounts
    in the amusement industry. Good luck!
[05:57] ---
    Oh, and one more thing.
[06:00] ---
    They'll be inspecting the fire alarms today,
[06:03] ---
    so the bells will be going off,
    but don't mind them, all right?
[06:04] ---
    FIRE ALARM INSPECTION
[06:05] ---
    Right.
[06:06] ---
    Shirosaki? About this project...
[06:08] ---
    Yes?
[06:13] ---
    Fire alarms.
[06:16] ---
    That reminds me of that fire alarm incident
    at my old workplace.

[06:21] ---
    Fire!
[06:27] ---
    Outta my way, idiot!
[06:34] ---
    STOMACH A
[06:38] ---
    Luckily, it was just a small fire, but...
[06:42] ---
    Hey, forget about the past
    and focus on your work!

[06:57] ---
    My stomach's starting to hurt again.
[06:59] ---
    I hate myself for not being able to let go
    when all I want to do is forget!

[07:03] ---
    What the heck should I do?
[07:10] ---
    Fire! We're leaving!
[07:15] ---
    Wh-What's the matter?
    Are you so scared you can't stand?
[07:19] ---
    Should I carry you piggyback?
[07:22] ---
    U-Um....
[07:24] ---
    RELEASE
[07:26] ---
    It's an inspection. Sorry.
[07:26] ---
    I'M THE ONE WHO SAID IT WAS AN INSPECTION, RIGHT?
[07:31] ---
    CRACKING UP
[07:33] ---
    I'm really sorry.
[07:34] ---
    BLUSH
[07:37] ---
    If a fire breaks out,
    I'm going to risk my life to protect him.

[07:41] ---
    FLUFF
[07:41] ---
    Thanks to my boss's
    kindness and impact,

[07:43] ---
    the trauma of that fire incident
    vanished without a trace.

[08:04] ---
    Two office workers
    at an amusement park.

[08:08] ---
    Sore thumb, much?
[08:09] ---
    It may be a weekday, but it's summer break
    for everyone, so it's pretty crowded.
[08:13] ---
    I'm so sorry! Thank you for waiting!
[08:16] ---
    Thank you for your time today.
[08:19] ---
    My name is Momose.
    I look forward to working with you.
[08:21] ---
    Likewise, I'm looking forward
    to working with you, too.
[08:24] ---
    The ad that Mr. Shirosaki and his team
    created for us last time was a huge hit!
[08:28] ---
    Thank you very much.
[08:29] ---
    We hope to live up
    to your expectations this time, too.
[08:33] ---
    We've done some upgrading
    here and there since then.
[08:35] ---
    Yes, I noticed.
[08:37] ---
    Would you mind if we started off
    by taking a look around the park?
[08:40] ---
    Momose and I
    will tour the grounds on our own.
[08:46] ---
    I haven't been to an amusement park
    since I was a kid.
[08:49] ---
    To create an effective ad, I think it's important
    to actually enjoy the attractions yourself.
[08:55] ---
    Let's go, Momose.
[09:02] ---
    Who would've thought that I'd end up
    on a merry-go-round with my boss?

[09:13] ---
    There's a huge line over there.
[09:15] ---
    Would you like to line up?
[09:17] ---
    Let's do it. Sometimes you can gain insights
    through personal experience.
[09:51] ---
    Thank you!
[09:54] ---
    Momose, let's move on to the next one.
[09:56] ---
    Okay!
[10:00] ---
    Manager!
[10:19] ---
    We've covered
    a lot of ground, haven't we?
[10:21] ---
    It feels like we just came here
    to hang out.

[10:25] ---
    Oh, wow. Look at all those notes he took
    while having a blast on the rides.

[10:35] ---
    Are you all right, Momose? Use this.
[10:37] ---
    BAND AID
[10:38] ---
    Uh, no. It's ketchup.
[10:46] ---
    So cute!
[10:49] ---
    Yes, he sure is cute.
[10:52] ---
    Uh, I think he means
    the stuffed animal, not me.
[10:58] ---
    His parents aren't around?
[10:59] ---
    Where are your mommy and daddy?
[11:01] ---
    They went off somewhere.
[11:04] ---
    Seems like he's a lost child.
[11:05] ---
    I'll take him over
    to the Lost Children Facility.
[11:08] ---
    I'll come with you.
[11:10] ---
    No, this boy's parents
    might come looking for him,
[11:14] ---
    so I want you to wait here, Momose.
[11:16] ---
    You can have this,
    so let's go look for your parents.
[11:26] ---
    Is he going to be all right?
[11:29] ---
    Excuse me, this is a lost child.
[11:31] ---
    Thank you so much.
[11:34] ---
    You'll be okay now.
[11:36] ---
    And what's your name?
[11:37] ---
    Yusei Shirosaki.
[11:43] ---
    - He's still not back.
    - We have a lost child here.
[11:46] ---
    The name of the lost child
    is Yusei Shirosaki.

[11:49] ---
    If you know him,
    please come to the Lost Child Facility.

[11:52] ---
    Manager...
[11:58] ---
    Manager!
[12:00] ---
    Momose.
[12:07] ---
    Thank goodness
    they found that kid's parents.
[12:10] ---
    All right, let's get back to work.
[12:12] ---
    This is the last one.
[12:14] ---
    HAUNTED HOUSE
[12:26] ---
    HAUNTED HOUSE
[12:28] ---
    This is the biggest attraction of the park.
[12:31] ---
    The upgraded Haunted House.
[12:33] ---
    Momose.
[12:35] ---
    If you don't like scary things,
    you can wait out here.
[12:39] ---
    No, I'm totally fine!
[12:40] ---
    NOTHING'S SCARIER
    THAN AN ABUSIVE BOSS
[12:42] ---
    Actually, what about you?
    This isn't really your thing, right?
[12:46] ---
    I'll be fine
    because it's all make-believe.
[12:49] ---
    They're not real monsters.
[12:56] ---
    It sure is dark in here.
[13:05] ---
    What? Is he my girlfriend?
[13:09] ---
    Sorry, couldn't help it.
[13:12] ---
    Maybe we shouldn't go in after all?
[13:15] ---
    No, I want to experience it so that
    we can create a good ad that rings true.
[13:21] ---
    To do your job well, you have to confront
    what you're afraid of, too.

[13:26] ---
    That's really helpful!
[13:27] ---
    I'm okay now. Follow me.
[13:30] ---
    How cool is that?
[13:32] ---
    WALL
[13:32] ---
    BAM
[13:32] ---
    ISN'T LOOKING FORWARD AT ALL
[13:33] ---
    Manager?
[13:36] ---
    Uh, if you'd like,
    you can grab onto my sleeve or my arm.
[13:40] ---
    No, I don't want it to turn into
    sexual harassment, so I'll pass.
[13:43] ---
    Oh, hey, no.
[13:46] ---
    All right, let's go.
[13:56] ---
    SQUEEZE
[14:01] ---
    Thank you for all your... hard work...
[14:03] ---
    We're back.
[14:05] ---
    What? Huh?
[14:08] ---
    I-I can see that we'll be getting
    an ad that will convey how scary it is!

[14:25] ---
    I hope all is well over there.
    This is Shirosaki.
[14:28] ---
    We just finished our tour and meeting.
[14:29] ---
    Momose and I will be heading home now.
[14:31] ---
    All right. Good job, both of you.
[14:37] ---
    1 NEW NOTIFICATION
[14:43] ---
    10 YEARS AGO
[14:43] ---
    Listen up, Shirosaki.
[14:43] ---
    KITTY CAT LAND
[14:48] ---
    By being serious about using and experiencing
    what you're going to advertise,
[14:52] ---
    you can create a good ad that rings true.
[14:55] ---
    Oh, want some popcorn?
[15:04] ---
    Shirosaki, you've grown to become
    a good boss, I see.

[15:21] ---
    Sorry.
[15:22] ---
    Due to a power outage in part of the city,
    we've made an emergency stop.

[15:22] ---
    I-It's okay.
[15:26] ---
    We're truly sorry for the inconvenience
    when we know you're in a hurry,

[15:28] ---
    - Oh, no.
    - They say the traffic lights are out, too.
[15:30] ---
    but please stand by until power is restored.
[15:32] ---
    What? That sounds bad.
[15:35] ---
    Look how dark it is outside.
[15:37] ---
    Manager, are you okay with the dark?
[15:40] ---
    Yes, since there's all these people
    around us.
[15:44] ---
    But still, you can really see the stars
    when it's dark, even in Tokyo.
[15:50] ---
    Oh, you're right.
[15:51] ---
    It reminds me of Akita.
[15:53] ---
    That's right, you did say
    that you were from Akita.
[15:56] ---
    Uh-huh. Y'all reckonin'
    about your hometown, too?
[15:59] ---
    REMINDED SO MUCH OF AKITA
    THAT HIS ACCENT KICKS IN
[16:02] ---
    On your résumé, you put down
    Hokkaido, I think?
[16:05] ---
    Yes, this makes me think about Hokkaido.
[16:08] ---
    But more than that, it brings back memories
    of the day I decided to switch jobs.
[16:14] ---
    At the time, I was a little stressed
    about my workplace.
[16:23] ---
    My stomach hurts.
[16:25] ---
    I want to quit my job.
[16:27] ---
    But I'm too scared
    to tell them that I want to quit.
[16:31] ---
    Then one day...
[16:38] ---
    I went to the office, only to find it closed.
[16:40] ---
    Apparently, because there was a typhoon coming
    that day, they'd hastily closed the office.

[16:45] ---
    I told you, but you weren't listening!
[16:48] ---
    You never told me.
[16:54] ---
    Even though I got out of going to work,
    I'm not feeling any better.

[17:03] ---
    When I happened to look up at the sky,
[17:07] ---
    I saw a pitch-black billboard.
[17:13] ---
    Is that an ad for my mental state?
[17:16] ---
    But when I looked closer,
    there was a single ray of light.

[17:19] ---
    WHEN YOU FIND A SINGLE RAY OF LIGHT
    THE DARKNESS TURNS INTO
    A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT SKY (WORLD)
    YOU'RE SURE TO FIND YOUR LIGHT (STAR)
    PLANETARIUM TOKYO
[17:21] ---
    Turns out, it was an ad
    for the planetarium.

[17:26] ---
    I want to find my light.
[17:28] ---
    I've had enough of darkness.
[17:31] ---
    That ad had resonated with me,
[17:34] ---
    so I headed right over to the planetarium.
[17:36] ---
    The trains might stop running.
[17:38] ---
    Well, who cares?
[17:40] ---
    Seeing that starry sky reminded me
    of the night sky in Hokkaido,

[17:43] ---
    and that I'd come to Tokyo because I wanted
    to create ads that touched people's hearts.

[17:50] ---
    Since the abuse was consuming
    all of my energy,

[17:52] ---
    I'd totally lost sight of that.
[17:56] ---
    YOU'RE SURE TO FIND YOUR LIGHT (STAR)
    PLANETARIUM TOKYO
[17:56] ---
    I want to make an ad like that.
[17:59] ---
    I want to work at the company
    that creates ads like that.

[18:03] ---
    LETTER OF RESIGNATION
[18:03] ---
    That hope transformed into the courage
    to speak up, and tell them I was quitting.

[18:09] ---
    After that, I searched high and low
    for the company behind that ad.

[18:16] ---
    And that's the company
    that I switched jobs to.
[18:22] ---
    I am who I am now because of that ad.
[18:26] ---
    Wait, I just talked your ear off. Sorry!
[18:29] ---
    I guess I'm worked up
    because of the darkness.
[18:33] ---
    I told this same story
    during my job interview.
[18:35] ---
    - I know.
    - What?
[18:37] ---
    I was one of your interviewers.
[18:40] ---
    I-I'm sorry! I was really nervous
    during that interview.
[18:44] ---
    So I don't remember
    what any of you looked like.
[18:51] ---
    BLURRY
[18:54] ---
    W-Wait, were you the one who started
    looking down halfway through?
[18:58] ---
    Yeah. That was me.
[19:03] ---
    My eyes had filled with tears,
    so I couldn't look up.
[19:08] ---
    Tears?
[19:10] ---
    Because I was the one
    who'd made that planetarium ad.
[19:14] ---
    I was so happy.
[19:21] ---
    Sorry. I couldn't seem to find
    the right time to tell you.
[19:29] ---
    We will now resume service.
[19:31] ---
    The train may swerve,
    so please be careful.

[19:38] ---
    You made that ad?
[19:46] ---
    By the way, after you left the room,
[19:49] ---
    even though we hadn't decided
    if you'd passed or not...
[19:52] ---
    I want to be his trainer.
[19:55] ---
    I volunteered.
[20:03] ---
    Since you told me something
    that made me happy,
[20:06] ---
    I wanted to thank you
    by taking good care of you.
[20:11] ---
    Manager.
[20:15] ---
    From day one, I was a mess,
    getting the wrong medicine and all.
[20:17] ---
    FOR PMS
    AND HEADACHES
[20:22] ---
    D-Don't say that! I felt better, actually.
[20:27] ---
    Next stop, Nakano. Nakano.
[20:36] ---
    All right, then. Good night.
[20:40] ---
    Momose.
[20:43] ---
    Thank you for switching
    to our company.
[20:50] ---
    See you tomorrow.
[20:53] ---
    FREEZE
[20:58] ---
    I tried to get off at the wrong station.
[21:00] ---
    I knew it!
[21:07] ---
    Right. I'm finally starting to get it.
[21:12] ---
    After spending all day with him today,
[21:14] ---
    the reason my boss is so goofy is because
    he's constantly thinking about the project.

[21:20] ---
    And above all, because he's striving so hard
    to be considerate for those around him.

[21:31] ---
    There's no question that I'm the one
    who should be thanking you.

[21:44] ---
    Thank you for coming into my life!
[23:20] ---
    DURING A MEETING
[23:24] ---
    I'll toss that garbage for you.
[23:36] ---
    I got to shake hands with him!
