[00:00] Shinoaki
    Tsurayuki-kun! Why in the heck did you do it?!
[00:03] Roku
    I'm sorry, okay?
[00:04] Shinoaki
    I was hungry, and there was
    nothing else that looked good.
[00:07] Shinoaki
    How's that make it okay
    to eat other people's stuff?!
[00:10] Roku
    Seriously, I do feel bad!
[00:13] Roku
    Which is why I went ahead and got
    you some Sukiyamon! See?
SIGN    Sukiyamon
    Soy Flavor
[00:17] Shinoaki
    This is is soy sauce-flavored!
SIGN    Umakatoyo
[00:19] Shinoaki
    Umakatoyo is tonkotsu-flavored!
[00:21] Shinoaki
    They ain't the same thing!
[00:22] Roku
    I don't get the big deal.
    They're both instant ramen.
[00:24] Kyo
    Starting this spring,
    along with enrolling in art school,
[00:26] Shinoaki
    They can be the same kinda food,
    but that don't make them the same food!
[00:26] Kyo
    I've started living in this share house
    with some of my classmates.
[00:29] Roku
    In general terms, they're the same thing!
[00:31] Shinoaki
    Are not!
[00:31] Kyo
    It's two guys and two girls, which you think
    would be the ideal roommate setup, and yet...
[00:32] Roku
    They are!
[00:33] Shinoaki
    I want mine back!
[00:34] Roku
    Too bad!
[00:36] Nana
    I heard the whole argument!
[00:40] Nana
    Tsurayuki, seriously,
    eating someone else's food
[00:43] Nana
    is the one of the worst
    things a roommate can do!
[00:47] Nana
    What's wrong? Why'd everyone go so quiet?
[00:51] Kyo
    Uh, well, Nanako... Your clothes...
[00:54] Nana
    My clothes?
[01:02] Nana
    Quit looking!
[01:05] Nana
    I forgot I was in the middle of changing!
[01:08] Roku
    Hell of a puncher, isn't she?
[01:10] Kyo
    For whatever reason, I ended up traveling
[01:14] Kyo
    ten years into the past
    with my memories intact.
SIGN    Do not eat other people's food!
[01:17] Kyo
    It's what you might call a "time leap."
[01:20] Kyo
    My second attempt attempt
    at college has so far been colored
[01:22] Kyo
    with instant ramen's flavor and
    painful hits to the solar plexus,
[01:25] Kyo
    along with hope and anxiety.
[01:28] Kyo
    It won't be long before
    we start creating for real.
[01:31] Kyo
    I can't help but wonder what awaits us.

    When it comes to filmmaking,
    these four areas are going to be crucial.
[03:16] Kano
    I want you to form groups of four,
    with each person handling one area.
[03:24] Kano
    The project is to be three minutes long.
[03:26] Kano
    And I mean that seriously,
[03:28] Kano
    because once you've all turned
    in your shorts, we'll be screening them.
[03:31] Nana
    Everyone's gonna see?
[03:33] Shinoaki
    Better make sure it turns out good!
[03:36] Shinoaki
    Finally, regarding the theme of the
    short films I want you all to make...
[03:42] Roku
    "Time" is kinda broad as far as themes go.
[03:46] Kyo
    So broad it's hard to know
    where to drill down.
[03:48] Roku
    Yeah.
[03:50] Roku
    And there's a three-minute
    limit on our runtime, too.
[03:53] Roku
    That teacher isn't trying to make this easy!
[03:56] Kyo
    It's a good thing we were able to
    pick out our team so quickly, though.
[03:58] Roku
    Team Kitayama, featuring the roommates
    from Share House Kitayama...
[04:02] Roku
    Kinda on the nose, huh?
[04:04] Kyo
    You're directing. Shinoaki's handling
     the technical side.
[04:07] Kyo
    Nanako's performing, and I'm production...
[04:10] Roku
    Well, I wanna do the script, but don't care
    about the performance side of things.
[04:15] Roku
    I'm counting on you, Kyoya!
[04:19] Kyo
    I didn't think we'd end up
    at the same part time job, too.
[04:22] Nana
    Tell me about it.
[04:24] Nana
    The manager gave me a funny look
[04:26] Nana
    when he noticed we had the same
    address on our applications.
[04:28] Kyo
    What do you mean?
[04:30] Nana
    Forget about it.
[04:31] Nana
    Here, hand that over. I'll put it on this shelf.
[04:41] Kyo
    Say, Nanako...
[04:44] Kyo
    Why'd you enroll in art school?
[04:46] Kyo
    Is there something you want to do?
[04:54] Nanako
    There wasn't any real reason.
[04:57] Nanako
    Maybe because I was sick of Lake Biwa?
[05:00] Kyo
    The big lake from where you live?
[05:02] Nana
    Yeah.
[05:03] Nana
    When I was in grade school,
    I used to think it was the ocean.
[05:09] Nana
    L-Listen, it's seriously huge!
[05:12] Nana
    You would've thought it was
    the ocean at that age, too!
[05:19] Nana
    Anyway, there's really nothing else to it...
[05:22] Nana
    I mean, there are towns and stores,
[05:25] Nana
    and you can find most things
    you need there.
[05:27] Nana
    But I think if I had never left home,
[05:29] Nana
    I would've never learned
    what the ocean was really like.
[05:44] Nana
    The idea of time just passing by
    in a place like that scared me.
[05:49] Nana
    And before I knew it, here I was.
[05:53] Nana
    It's embarrassing to admit, but it's
    kind of like I'm here to find myself.
[05:58] Kyo
    I think I get what you mean.
[06:17] Staff
    The doors are closing. Please stand clear.
[06:38] Nanako
    Are you here for a similar reason?
[06:40] Kyo
    Yeah.
[06:45] Kyo
    What is it?
[06:46] Nanako
    Let me.
[06:47] Nanako
    This goes up here.
[06:50] Kyo
    Wait, Nanako...
[06:51] Nanako
    Aw, it got caught on something.
[06:55] Nanako
    Sorry, gimme one second...
[06:57] Kyo
    Just one?
[07:00] Kyo
    Uh, never mind.
[07:02] Nanako
    Almost done...
[07:06] Kyo
    I might be trying to act like I did
    when I was younger,
[07:09] Kyo
    but I'm still 28 mentally.
[07:13] Kyo
    Say, Nanako...
[07:15] Kyo
    Uh... thank you.
[07:17] Nanako
    No sweat.
[07:18] Nanako
    Come on. Let's finish up.
[07:21] Kyo
    I'm sure I don't need to explain how

SIGN    Important
     Part
[08:46] Shinoaki
    Good morning, Kyoya-kun.
[08:56] Shinoaki
    That was a real nice dream.
[08:59] Shinoaki
    I had a bunch of Itoshima oysters to eat.
[09:02] Kyo
    Sorry to interrupt your meal.
[09:05] Kyo
    Come to think of it, Shinoaki,
    why'd you enroll in art school?
[09:11] Shinoaki
    I can't do anything,
[09:14] Shinoaki
    so I wanted to find something I could do.
[09:17] Shinoaki
    That's how I ended up here.
[09:19] Kyo
    That's why you choose art school?
[09:21] Shinoaki
    Yeah.
[09:22] Shinoaki
    I've never been real good at studying,
    even in elementary school.
[09:26] Shinoaki
    I'd even miss the train a lot.
[09:29] Kyo
    I can imagine that.
[09:31] Shinoaki
    Since it was in the country, missing the
     train meant waiting for a whole half hour.
[09:36] Shinoaki
    The folks from the station
    even got to know me.
[09:59] Shinoaki
    What's wrong?
[10:00] Kyo
    I think I have an idea
    that goes with our theme!
[10:04] Kyo
    I'm thinking of having the short
    take place at a train station.
[10:07] Nanako
    Why a train station?
[10:09] Kyo
    Since it's the type of place
    everyone is familiar with,
[10:12] Kyo
    there's a lot of obvious shorthand
    that'll help people understand the setting.
[10:15] Kyo
    And I think it'd be well-suited to a story
    that wraps up in three minutes.
[10:19] Nanako
    You've got a point!
[10:21] Shinoaki
    Everybody uses the train.
SIGN    Station
[10:23] Kyo
    And since stations tend to stay intact
    for long periods of time,
[10:27] Kyo
    they work well for depicting
    the passage of time.
[10:30] Kyo
    My idea is to use that to depict
    the life of one woman
[10:33] Kyo
    over the course of three minutes.
[10:36] Kyo
    And I thought it might be good to have her
    life progress in tune with the time of day.
[10:41] Kyo
    What do you think?
[10:42] Nanako
    Sounds interesting! I think it'll work.
[10:45] Shinoaki
    I like it, too.
[10:47] Shinoaki
    I can't wait to see it screened!
[10:49] Kyo
    What do you think, Tsurayuki?
[10:51] Roku
    Can I get a half-hour?
[10:57] Shinoaki
    I wonder what that's about.
[10:58] Nanako
    I dunno.
[11:09] Kyo
    What's this?
[11:10] Roku
    I wrote up a plot for the
    setup you described.
[11:13] Roku
    I figured it was what you were after.
[11:15] Kyo
    Wow! This is exactly what I meant!
[11:17] Shinoaki
    You're really something, Tsurayuki-kun!
[11:20] Shinoaki
    You were able to come up
    with something so quick!
[11:23] Nanako
    That's better than
    I figured you could manage!
[11:25] Roku
    Well, I didn't come up with the idea myself,
    so I figured I should do this much.
[11:30] Shinoaki
    That settles it, then!
[11:32] Nanako
    No objections!
[11:33] Kyo
    Yeah, I'm looking forward to the script—
[11:36] Roku
    Kyoya...
[11:37] Roku
    You got a second?
[11:47] Kyo
    What is it, Tsurayuki?
[11:51] Kyo
    What's this?
[11:52] Roku
    Something from my idea notebook.
[11:58] Kyo
    Isn't this—
[11:59] Roku
    It's the exact same thing.
[12:01] Roku
    Your idea, and what I had
    written down in my notes.
[12:05] Roku
    I swear, I didn't see—
[12:06] Roku
    Yeah, I know.
[12:09] Roku
    I actually had it locked up.
[12:11] Roku
    You couldn't possibly have seen it.
[12:14] Roku
    But you still managed to come up
    with the same idea,
[12:18] Roku
    like you read my mind.
[12:21] Roku
    It honestly felt like you took
    something right out of my head.
[12:25] Roku
    Which is why I rushed
    to write down the outline.
[12:28] Kyo
    I didn't mean to.
[12:29] Roku
    It was scary, man, if I'm being honest.
[12:35] Kyo
    Come to think of it, how exactly
    did I come up with that idea?
[12:40] Kyo
    I remember now... It was from
    a collection of short stories.
[12:44] Kyo
    A story about a woman's life, depicted against
    the background of a train station.
[12:49] Kyo
    I think the impression it left me with
    is what had me imagine something similar.
[12:54] Kyo
    And I didn't read that book
    until some point in the future.
[13:00] Kyo
    Does that mean I essentially stole the idea
    from Tsurayuki's future self?
[13:08] Roku
    Kyoya, is it just a coincidence?
[13:11] Roku
    Or is there something else going on here?
[13:21] Roku
    Well, Kyoya? Which one is it?
[13:31] Roku
    Yeah, it couldn't be...
[13:34] Roku
    Sorry about that.
    It has to be a coincidence.
[13:37] Roku
    It's not out of the question
    for different people to have the same idea.
[13:41] Kyo
    You've got a point.
[13:42] Roku
    I've gotta be honest, I was kind of glad.
[13:45] Kyo
    Why?
[13:46] Roku
    A train station makes for an easy setting,
[13:48] Roku
    both in terms of the possibility space
    for characters' behavior,
[13:51] Roku
    and the things that can happen to them.
[13:54] Roku
    That's something that you pick up
    from learning about screenwriting.
[13:58] Roku
    But if anybody here at school
    realized that, I sure didn't notice.
[14:04] Roku
    Which is why I was thinking about just
    doing the bare minimum for the project,
[14:06] Roku
    and focusing on my individual studies.
[14:10] Roku
    But I get the feeling we could make
    something good together, Kyoya.
[14:15] Roku
    Let's give the teachers
    a real shock with our project!
[14:21] Kyo
    Yeah!
SIGN    The girl_
[15:02] Roku
    What do you mean, you want to make some cuts?!
[15:04] Kyo
    As things stand, we're going to
    end up going over three minutes,
[15:08] Kyo
    so I was hoping you could
    rewrite the script.
[15:09] Roku
    I submitted the script we have
    after already rewriting it a bunch,
[15:13] Roku
    because I thought it was
    the best version of that story!
[15:15] Roku
    There's nothing in it
    that can be cut for time!
[15:19] Kyo
    Still...
[15:21] Roku
    Shinoaki, you can adjust the storyboards
    to make sure everything fits, right?
[15:27] Shinoaki
    Let me think...
[15:29] Shinoaki
    It should be doable, but...
[15:31] Roku
    And if we pick up the pace with your lines,
[15:33] Roku
    we can cram them in within
    the time limit, right?
[15:36] Nanako
    Can we, though?
[15:37] Nanako
    I mean, I'd have to try...
[15:40] Roku
    That's what I'm talking about!
[15:41] Roku
    We should at least try first!
[15:44] Roku
    Right?
[15:48] Kyo
    There's a hard time limit
    on this assignment.
[15:50] Kyo
    No matter how good the short turns out,
[15:52] Kyo
    if we go past that limit,
    we'll be worse off for it.
[15:55] Kyo
    But is that good enough a reason
    to convince Tsurayuki?
[16:00] Kyo
    Right now, this is probably
    the best I can do.
[16:03] Kyo
    It's an assignment, after all, so we need
    to follow the rules if we want the credit.
[16:08] Kyo
    So...
[16:11] Roku
    Okay. Fine. I'll make the cuts.
[16:15] Kyo
    Tsurayuki...
[16:17] Roku
    Is this your approach when it comes
    to making something good, Kyoya?
[16:26] Roku
    Talk about lame.
[16:35] Nanako
    Tsurayuki is such a perfectionist!
[16:38] Nanako
    If it's running long, we should
    just make the cuts!

    Don't let it bug you too much.

    that came out the other day.
[19:55] Kano
    It's had great reception, and seems likely
    to win a few some awards.
[19:59] Kano
    But no one seems to like the actual movie.
[20:03] Kano
    The director and cast probably
    did whatever they wanted.
[20:06] Kano
    The runtime ended up too long,
    ruining the tempo,
[20:08] Kano
    and wasting the strengths of the story.
[20:10] Kyo
    This really is hard, isn't it?

    A script isn't a finished product.
[20:15] Kano
    If the point was to just have
    people read something, and that's all,
[20:17] Kano
    it'd be better done as prose.
[20:19] Kano
    At the script stage,
    it can still go either way.
[20:22] Kano
    What you're doing isn't just
    a matter of subtraction.
[20:27] Kano
    If the production side stops trying,
    then that means the whole project is doomed.
[20:31] Kano
    That's how important it is.
[20:33] (Flashback) Eiko
    You're handling production,
    so you should have some idea, right?
[20:37] (Flashback) Eiko
    Don't underestimate filmmaking.
[20:40] Kano
    I've got one piece of advice for you.
[20:42] Kano
    Everyone involved in the
    filmmaking process is a creator.
[20:47] Kano
    And no one outranks anyone else.
[20:52] Kyo
    Thank you so much!
[20:58] Kyo
    Whether it's ten years in the past
    or the future, time is limited either way.
[21:02] Kyo
    Why didn't I realize that sooner?
[21:06] Kyo
    I have to make sure I have no regrets,
    or nothing will change at all!
[21:13] Kyo
    Tsurayuki! Tsurayuki!
[21:15] Roku
    What? What is it?
[21:17] Kyo
    I'm sorry, Tsurayuki!
[21:18] Roku
    What brought this on?!
[21:20] Nanako
    What? What's up?
[21:21] Shinoaki
    What's going on?
[21:23] Kyo
    I want to talk this over again!
[21:25] Kyo
    So please, can we make some time for it?
[21:28] Roku
    It's already decided. Just do what you want.
[21:32] Kyo
    That's not true! We haven't
    even gotten started yet!
[21:35] Kyo
    You're right, Tsurayuki!
[21:37] Kyo
    We haven't filmed anything,
    or started an edit yet,
[21:39] Kyo
    so it's too soon to give up!
[21:42] Roku
    Kyoya...
[21:44] Kyo
    I want to talk this through as much
    as we can, until the last minute,
[21:47] Kyo
    so we can decide what we can do
    that'll have the best result!
[21:49] Kyo
    We'll worry about time later!
[21:54] Roku
    If you insist... I'm in, then.
[21:58] Kyo
    Yeah! Let's do this!
[22:11] Roku
    Great weather today.
[22:13] Kyo
    We picked a day where it was
    supposed to be clear.
[22:16] Kyo
    There was planning involved.
[22:17] Roku
    It was hard work getting everything
    to fit into three minutes too, y'know?
[22:21] Kyo
    Thank you.
[22:23] Roku
    Let's make this good.
[22:24] Kyo
    Yeah!
[22:27] Shinoaki
    Oh... This is...
[22:30] Kyo
    What is it?
[22:31] Shinoaki
    The camera that Tsurayuki-kun
    borrowed isn't a video camera.
[22:36] Roku
    No, that can't be...
SIGN    O Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera
     Digital Video Camera
[22:42] Sign
    I marked the wrong one.
[22:43] Nanako
    Why not just go get the right one?
[22:46] Kyo
    We can't. It'd take too long.
[22:48] Nanako
    Oh, no...
[22:50] Roku
    I'm sorry... I can't believe
    it turned out like this...
[22:52] Nanako
    Hey, everyone makes mistakes.
    Not much we can do.
[22:55] Shinoaki
    Yeah. There's nothing we can do.
[23:00] Kyo
    Is there... nothing?
SIGN    If there's no camera, then we can't film.
    If there's no actors, we can't record a performance.
    If there's no key art, we don't need to draw anything.
    If the writer is missing, we shouldn't bother writing anything.
    If there's not enough budget, we'll throw something together.
    It is what it is. Nothing we can do about it.
    It can't be helped.
[23:03] Kyo
    Didn't I spend my life ten years in the future
[23:06] Kyo
    repeating that excuse,
    and regretting it every time?
[23:09] Kyo
    And now, when I've got
    the chance to do it all over...
[23:12] Kyo
    Am I going to just do it again?
[23:15] Kyo
    Make excuses... and kick it all down the road,
    without actually achieving anything?
[23:19] Kyo
    Put a hold on everything for ten years,
    and see how that turns out?
[23:25] Kyo
    No!
[23:27] Kyo
    We are not out of options!
[23:31] Kyo
    We're going to figure something out, damn it!
