**[00:00] Mima**
* The author I met through work turned*
* out to be a friend from my childhood.*
**[00:06] Mima**
*I can't believe it's actually him.*
**[00:08] Mima**
*The fact that we met again at my work*
**[00:11] Mima**
* must mean that he's been*
* working hard all this time.*
**[00:13] Mima**
* With this assignment, I don't want to*
* do anything half-hearted like back then,*
**[00:17] Mima**
*when I failed to return his novel.*
**[00:20] Mima**
*But I can't think of a single decent idea.*
**[00:24] Mima**
* I need an ad that will make Motoharu glad*
* that I was the one working with him.*
***SIGN*** Swish swish
**[00:29] Mima**
*Huh? My cursor isn't moving.*
***SIGN*** Draft novel
***SIGN*** Swish
***SIGN*** Silence
**[00:33] Mima**
*And I was just about to start!*
**[00:34] Souta**
Mima? Can I talk to you for a second?
**[00:37] Souta**
What are you doing?
**[00:38] Mima**
My mouse isn't working.
**[00:40] Souta**
Really?
**[00:41] Souta**
Let me have a look.
**[00:42] Souta**
Mints?!
**[00:43] Mima**
Huh? You want to look at my mints?
***SIGN*** #18
Takayuki and Motoharu
**[02:16] Souta**
That explains it.
**[02:18] Mima**
I was wondering what that rattling was...
**[02:21] Souta**
Maybe you should take a break.
**[02:23] Mima**
I don't have much time.
**[02:25] Mima**
I'll be fine.
**[02:26] Souta**
I get that you're excited to
be working with a friend, but...
**[02:29] Momozaki**
What?
**[02:29] Momozaki**
Igarashi Motoharu-sensei
is Mima-san's friend?
**[02:33] Souta**
Wait, you know that author?
**[02:36] Souta**
You don't strike me as a reader.
**[02:38] Momozaki**
Yes, because he writes lyrics
for my friend's band.
**[02:41] Momozaki**
Sometimes he's even involved
in composing their songs!
**[02:43] Souta**
Huh.
**[02:44] Momozaki**
He said that working with the band was great
**[02:48] Momozaki**
for letting off steam and
getting some fresh ideas.
**[02:51] Momozaki**
Mima-san, you should
let off some steam too.
**[02:53] Mima**
Then I'll go out for a little bit.
**[02:55] Souta**
Have fun.
***SIGN*** AWK
**[02:57] Souta**
Actually!
**[02:58] Souta**
Fix your pocket lining that's
sticking out before you go!
**[03:01] Mima**
* What kind of ad should*
* we run in the stations?*
**[03:05] Mima**
* I hope we can make good use of that limited space*
* to connect it to the story somehow...*
**[03:10] Mima**
*The story is about an awkward guy*
**[03:13] Mima**
* who tries not to repeat the*
* same mistakes every day.*
**[03:15] Mima**
* So he writes his daily*
* blunders into a diary,*
**[03:17] Mima**
* but he loses this diary somewhere,*
* and that's where the story begins.*
**[03:20] Mima**
* A small event eventually*
* turns into a big thing.*
**[03:24] Mima**
* I think Motoharu would be happy*
* if I could make that work.*
***SIGN*** Fall
**[03:30] Mima**
*This is... oddly relevant.*
**[03:32] Motoharu**
Excuse me, that's mine.
**[03:34] Motoharu**
Thanks for picking it up.
**[03:36] Motoharu**
It fell out of my bag...
**[03:38] Mima**
Moto... Igarashi-san?
**[03:43] Mima**
Here you go.
**[03:43] Motoharu**
Thank you so much.
**[03:45] Motoharu**
Cheers.
**[03:51] Mima**
Somehow, we wandered into the park...
**[03:54] Mima**
So, um, you're living in Kyoto now, correct?
**[03:59] Motoharu**
I'm planning to move here to Tokyo.
**[04:01] Motoharu**
I wanted to check out the
surrounding area before I move.
**[04:04] Mima**
I see.
**[04:05] Motoharu**
Were you out here taking a break from work?
**[04:09] Mima**
Something like that.
**[04:11] Mima**
*"I wasn't getting anywhere with work..."*
**[04:13] Mima**
*is not something I can tell him.*
**[04:18] Mima**
*This is awkward.*
**[04:20] Mima**
* And it's also too late*
* to bring up the past...*
**[04:22] Motoharu**
Oh, a dog.
**[04:25] Hayate**
I'm really sorry!
**[04:26] Hayate**
I let go of the leash.
**[04:28] Souma**
We're lucky Sakura-chan's a good dog.
**[04:30] Hayate**
Yeah, for real.
**[04:32] Shun**
Hayate-san, dogs have way
more power than hamsters.
**[04:36] Hayate**
I'm sorry.
**[04:37] Hayate**
I shouldn't have even asked to walk her.
**[04:39] Shun**
I mean, it's no biggie.
**[04:40] Mima**
Hayate-kun?
**[04:42] Mima**
Souma-kun and Shun-kun?
**[04:44] Hayate**
Mima-san!
**[04:46] Shun**
I'm sorry.
**[04:47] Shun**
She's my dog.
**[04:49] Mima**
It's no problem at all.
**[04:50] Hayate**
I'm sorry.
**[04:51] Hayate**
This is all my fault.
**[04:53] Sou**
Shun said he wanted to take her on a walk
after work, so we all came with him.
**[04:56] Hayate**
My deepest apologies.
**[04:58] Hayate**
This is all because of me.
**[04:59] Shun**
Hayate-san, you're really
serious about animals.
**[05:03] Mima**
So that's why you're all here.
***SIGN*** Nod
**[05:05] Hayate**
* I wonder if that's someone*
* from Mima-san's work...*
**[05:08] Hayate**
*I feel like I've seen him somewhere.*
**[05:11] Hayate**
We're intruding, so let's go over there.
**[05:13] Souma**
Sounds good.
**[05:14] Shun**
I'll show you Sakura's tricks.
**[05:16] Hayate**
Cool!
**[05:16] Shun**
I'm teaching her a new move right now.
**[05:19] Sou**
A move?
**[05:20] Hayate**
What is it?
**[05:21] Shun**
Well, Sakura's a genius dog,
**[05:22] Mima**
*Somehow I feel more relaxed...*
**[05:23] Shun**
so she can already shake, sit,
and stay no problem.
**[05:25] Shun**
So...
**[05:26] Motoharu**
This was unexpected.
**[05:27] Mima**
What is?
**[05:28] Motoharu**
Your friends are all so young.
**[05:31] Mima**
Yeah.
**[05:32] Mima**
Until now, I didn't really have
anything in common with young people.
**[05:37] Mima**
But once I got to know them,
**[05:39] Mima**
they reminded me of feelings I had almost
forgotten and gave me new insights.
**[05:43] Mima**
So now I think that the presence of
friends like these is a good thing.
**[05:47] Motoharu**
You're right.
**[05:50] Motoharu**
In my past, I had a good friend.
**[05:54] Motoharu**
Encountering him became the catalyst
**[05:55] Motoharu**
for me to realize that there
is another way of thinking.
**[05:58] Motoharu**
"Encounters" really are the
best catalyst for change.
**[06:02] Motoharu**
It's not limited to people, either—
**[06:04] Motoharu**
it can be with books, movies, music, or nature.
**[06:07] Motoharu**
Even things that feel banal.
***SIGN*** Massage
**[06:09] Motoharu**
It's always something from
the outside that comes
**[06:12] Motoharu**
and massages out our stiffened world view.
**[06:15] Motoharu**
Since your job creates the
opportunities for these encounters,
**[06:19] Motoharu**
I really think it's a wonderful thing.
**[06:23] Mima**
* Ads serve the important role of*
* bringing things and people together,*
**[06:28] Mima**
* yet so far, I've only been preoccupied*
* with pleasing Motoharu.*
**[06:31] Mima**
* I hadn't even considered the people who*
* should be encountering the product.*
**[06:36] Motoharu**
You've gotten really quiet.
Is everything all right?
**[06:39] Mima**
Oh, it's fine.
**[06:42] Mima**
I just realized that I had lost sight
of something really fundamental.
**[06:45] Mima**
*Encounters, huh?*
**[06:48] Mima**
* Hayate-kun was a big fan*
* of the original works.*
**[06:51] Mima**
* It's important to find something that*
* doesn't destroy the image held by the fans.*
**[06:56] Mima**
*Shun-kun doesn't strike me as a big reader,*
**[06:59] Mima**
* which is exactly why the ad needs to shine*
* in a way that makes the movie interesting.*
**[07:03] Mima**
* Souma-kun will probably pause and*
* look if it's creative and playful.*
**[07:10] Hayate**
Uh, Shun-kun.
**[07:12] Hayate**
Sakura-chan's poop is really hard.
**[07:14] Hayate**
I hope she's okay.
**[07:15] Souma**
Oh, yeah. It's like a rock.
**[07:16] Shun**
That *is* a rock.
**[07:20] Motoharu**
Those kids are kind of funny.
**[07:23] Motoharu**
I wonder if they'd be friends with me, too.
**[07:27] Mima**
They really are funny.
**[07:32] Mima**
Thanks, Motoharu.
**[07:34] Mima**
I'm really glad I ran into you today.
**[07:38] Motoharu**
Wait, you just called me by my...
***SIGN*** Serious
**[07:40] Mima**
I'll be returning to work now.
**[07:42] Mima**
There's something I want
to get done right away.
**[07:44] Mima**
Guys, I'm leaving now.
**[07:47] All**
See you later!
**[07:48] Mima**
I'll be in touch with you
soon, Igarashi-sensei.
**[07:52] Mima**
Next time, as a friend.
**[07:53] Motoharu**
What?
**[07:55] Motoharu**
Mima-san!
**[07:56] Motoharu**
I mean, Takayuki.
**[08:01] Motoharu**
*He remembered me.*
***SIGN*** Shinjuku Station
**[08:08] Girl**
Hey, did you hear?
**[08:09] Girl**
There's a fun ad up in Shinjuku
Station for a movie.
**[08:13] Girl**
A lot of people are posting about it online too.
**[08:15] Girl2**
Show me.
**[08:16] Girl2**
Wait, what?
**[08:16] [Messenger] txt**
Nagano
There's a place at Shinjuku Station
where you can write your fails.
I've done this before.
***SIGN*** Didn't plug in my earphones
in on the train and everybody
heard everything.
FML
**[08:18] Girl2**
Can anyone write on it?
**[08:20] Girl1**
Isn't that the spot?
**[08:21] Girl1**
Let's write one too!

*His job really is amazing.*
***SIGN*** The Lost Diary
Premieres August 11th
In this metropolis of Tokyo,
why not try dropping an
embarrassing story of how
you messed up.
Your story starts right now.
**[08:44] Souma**
*People's failure stories?*
***SIGN*** I mixed up the meeting time and
the time I needed to leave my house
I was SO LATE
I need to not get wrong things stuck in my head
**[08:46] Souma**
*Is this the ad campaign for the movie?*
**[08:49] Souma**
* The advertisement only comes into*
* being when people participate.*
**[08:52] Souma**
*It's a design that involves the people.*
**[08:56] Souma**
That ad was so fun that I was almost
late for meeting my friends.
**[09:00] Souta**
I feel like you'd have a lot to write.
**[09:03] Souta**
Did you write one?
**[09:03] Souma**
I did.
**[09:04] Souta**
Mima was actually in charge of that.
**[09:07] Souma**
Really?
**[09:08] Souma**
*So that was Mima-san's...*
**[09:11] Souma**
* I want to become an adult who*
* can do cool work like that, too.*

Sorry, bro.

I'll be starting the rice right now.
**[09:21] Souta**
What?!
**[09:22] Souma**
I was just so distracted
thinking about that ad!
**[09:25] Souta**
Don't make such charming excuses!
**[09:27] Souta**
I can't get mad at you now!
