"To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee"
- Emily Dickinson
I love cherry blossoms
But for some reason, I feel relieved when they've fallen
Just joking...
Takemoto's strange, isn't he?
Like his shorts?
He's like, too healthy
He's not unhealthy enough Hardly the art school type
He's got zero fashion sense
This enough chives?
Sure, but that also makes him appealing
Not as a boyfriend
Bet he's nice to girlfriends
Bet he's single
Maybe a good husband
- No girlfriend - Nope
Don't put milk in there!
Sorry
I dreamed about a '"Kazemachi Dori" rice omelet last night-From Morita
Morita san?
Yeah, he's getting back soon
What's his deal, anyay?
To me, he's just an annoying 8th year student
Excuse me
No, you're good
I'll start the grill!
It's time for the Hanamoto Lab Junior Group Retreat,
meaning, a gathering of Dr. Hanamoto's fans,
to begin!
Does everybody have enough beer?
Sorry, we need more here
Beer? There's another dozen in the studio refrigerator
I'll get them
I'll go with you
The second floor's such a mess, it's hard to find anything
For the first time, I saw someone fall in love
Thing is, there's some girl in the studio
Oh, right I totally forgot
Um... that's my cousin's daughter,
Hanamoto Hagumi, who joined my oil painting class
She's also staying here Look after her
I know you hardly saher
Yamada, your spine's crooked
I'll never forget...
this day, and everything this day put into motion
I understand, see you later
I'm glad you came by, Takemoto I've got to go see Dr. Koda
This is Hanamoto Hagu, my cousin's daughter, you know
How much do I owe?
She can't eat out alone
So will you take my place? I know it's a weird request
And this is Takemoto
Takemoto's amazing
He's the least arty student at our school, a real find...
Thank you
All you have to do is just sit there Please
She's in your hands
Hanamoto Lab
This hole warehouse, alone?
Hanamoto Lab
Amazing
Hey, did you paint this?
Morita san
Did you paint this?
I just got totally ignored
This is good, really good! What's your name?
Hey, your name?
Your name?
What's that about?
Hagu?
Your name's Hagu?
Hagu's a really weird name
Whatever
Hey, Hagu!
Your painting's good, really good
Almost as good as me
Um, Morita san
What's your name?
I'm Takemoto, your dorm neighbor
Morita san, when did you get back?
What? I thought you already graduated, Morita san
What! I thought you'd died, Morita san...
I heard you disappeared on Mt. Chomolungma
I never heard you praise anyone's work before
That's not true
Yes it is, that as a first
Yeah?
I think Picasso and Basquiat aren't half bad
I have this sick feeling you're serious
Of course I'm serious I believe in recognizing talent
All right, ready? It can be a smell or a voice
Not just your friend's face, sitting next to you
Close your eyes, move closer
and make a picture of hat you feel
OK?
Hagumi!
How do you write your name?
Like it sounds
Thanks for this
What's your name, again?
I'm Takemoto, I live next door
Listen...
Takemoto...
Wow, it's like,
it's like bursting with energy
And is this right side up?
You're so easy to talk to
No one's ever said that
Really?
Want one?
Kids are so cool
If they want to, they can draw smells and voices
We'll never be able to recapture such invisible...
Hey...
Maybe some rare people can
Just joking...
Everybody!
Draw crazier paintings, crazier than hers!
Takemoto
He really is amazing
I'm not amazing
What's amazing is the world
Flesh, blood, bone,
earth and insects,
they're all the real thing You know?
You do?
When I don't know what I'm talking about
Oh, I know
A souvenir
Just a leftover
It's so sweet
That's the crap that sells, all over the world
Such an impure heart making something so sweet
But I made it, so in 10 years it'll be worth a lot
Use it to send your kids to private school
Ten years from now...
I wonder what I'll be doing?
If he's going to paint all his life...
What's this? Doraemon's voice-over actress changed?
What are you talking about? That actress changed before you left
Oh, yeah?
It's Morita san
Hey, Mayama!
Hey, what's this?
Aren't you going to ask, "You ere alive? Where ere you?"
Be more interested in me
No souvenirs for you!
It's against the law to stalk people, you know
That's not what this is
You may want her, but love means she has to want you back
That's not what this is
I told a female cop she as cute
and got charged with sexual harassment, get it?
I do
Why's that all you get!?
Sorry
How old is that lady? A lot older than you
Have a normal, fun love-life
Oh, no, no, no
If I keep this up, I really will get arrested
"Rika san's lip cream"
"Rika san's favorite perfume"
"Notepaper Rika san used"
"A straw Rika san used"
Thank you! All you bumpkins!
Thank you, thank you
I'm grateful to be welcomed home from my long travels
with such a modest party
I really am grateful, but... Who are you?
Good morning
Um, the thing is...
If you don't have anyone to eat lunch with,
that is, if Dr. Hanamoto can't make it to lunch,
would you consider having lunch with me?
Really? See you at lunch in the cafeteria
I'll save usseats See you!
Um...
What, what, what? You don't want to?
Thank you
See the bulletin board?
It says, "Mayama, a senior in Architecture City Design
"is late submitting his senior thesis"
Exactly, I just can't decide
Having to condense 4 years of education...
Why not postpone graduating a year?
Hey, that's great
Postpone it a year
Wow, I'm hungry Want to get a bite to eat?
What? Eat something?
Yeah
You and me?
Well, yeah, sure
It's a bit of a walk but ho about Mediterranean?
It's 11AM, they're probably open for lunch
Or someplace closer by...
Oh, sorry
Hello, yes
Right now? Sure, within the hour
I'll be right there Sorry, gotta work
I need more work if I'm staying behind a year
That's not good More work is not good
After finishing working at the Harada Design Office,
I begin my surveillance at 1PM at the park
Fifteen minutes later, I start tailing
And I follow Mayama
What a coincidence, totally Mayama
Yamada?
Mayama?
Rika san? What a coincidence
Let me introduce you to
This is Harada Rika, from the design office here I work
This is Yamada, a year behind me in art school
From Hanamoto's Lab?
No, Yamada san's in ceramics, so not the Lab
Um, she's just...
an acquaintance from the Hanamoto group
Acquaintance?
Lately, we all get together and drink
at Dr. Hanamoto's, once in a while
That's here...
And Rika, I mean, Harada san...
Rika?
Studied architecture with Hanamoto san
He introduces me to gifted students who work part-time for me
I'm not gifted, not at all
Mayama's in love
I hardly feel I'm worth paying...
You're definitely won't hit
I knew It
I'm headed this way
I want to check out a store that way
Later
See you
I'd heard about you...
You're Hanamoto Hagumi?
Why don't you submit your work for a prize?
But there's one condition...
I'll go buy meal tickets What do you want, Hagu?
The Stamina Lunch
There's the girl genius
Her? Up close, she's pretty cute
Scholarship student
Not your average student Explains her slightly suspicious look
The girl genius is up holding our school's reputation
Lots of pressure
She's special
She's an "artist"
It's so crowded and noisy, let's go somewhere else
I know, have you been to "Kazemachi Dori"?
Their rice omelet's perfect Just their rice omelet
I see, you're from Nagano
Nagano brings to mind...
The Matsumoto castle
The castle keep is a national treasure
It's a five-tiered keep so it's really imposing
Do you know a five-tiered keep? Do you even know a castle keep?
Wait, do you even know Matsumoto castle?
That's not right, Hagu
Born in Nagano and you've never seen Matsumoto castle?
Castles are great, old buildings are great, they're what men dream about
Did you know? In that giant structure, there are no nails...
Ayu...
What? You know Yamada san from Ceramics?
We're friends
Bye, I have to go to work
If it's all right, maybe we could have lunch again
Meow-zaburo!
I'm here at your call
Red scarf, waving in the wind
Meow-zaburo's here to rescue
a shopping arcade in need of help
Meow-zaburo is really into it today
Something good happen?
Something bad happen?
Want to hear?
No thanks, I'll pass
Right
What if you find my story disgusting
Pisses me off
It doesn't suit you to look so happy
Looking miserable suits you, Yamada san
You got me back good
Harada, it's been 5 years since you vanished,
leaving a huge hole in Rika's heart
But I can't fill that hole
Not me...
Oops
What, you're back?
Yes. You were out before so I'm back to offer a greeting
Don't sound so formal, I'm not even your instructor
Really?
I teach architecture
What's my major, then?
I know it's not architecture
You're right
What brought you back home?
Thought I'd have a solo show, to kill some time
There's a gallery that's been after me
Fujiwara Gallery, right? They told me themselves
And after that?
Nothing
Still no plans to graduate?
I'm so in love with the school and you...
A solo show at that gallery to kill time and no plans to finish...
Just about your speed Why don't you get serious, for once
Are they... That important?
Those fag brothers are?
Oops, I don't have time for this I've got to go, Morita
Mind if I stick around?
Feel free
I know
A souvenir, sort of
What is this? It's cute
Oh, you're home
I'll fix dinner, now
We're having pasta tonight
Today, Dr. Koda said
I should apply to the Oslow International something or other
The Biennale
Did she?
Sounds good, why don't you?
But not my usual paintings
Right, I guess she means no abstracts I've heard that
They're bad?
Abstracts aren't hot now They're not bad
You should paint the pictures you want, hoever you like
It doesn't matter if you win a prize or not
If you like it, you keep it
Thank you
There she goes
Amazing
Sorry to call you here
You're going to Morita's show?
Yes, I'd like to go to the opening
Is this already finished?
No, probably not She hasn't signed it yet
If you're going, could you take Hagu with you?
What? Aren't you going?
I'm going but I've got to stop off somewhere first
Sure, I'm happy to... As long as Hagu doesn't mind
Yamada said she's attending the opening, so take her, too
Sure, sure, fine
Might as well invite Mayama and have him drive
What do you say we pick her up at home about 1PM?
First, I have to see ho Hagu feels about all this
So, here's Hagu today?
Oh, well, she's taking an awful long break
I like that painting of yours
Your sculpture as better a week ago
Busted, huh?
Yep, I screwed it up I have to start over
Once you carve, you can't fix it
Wood sculpture's tough
I can understand why it's not cool
But it looks fun
It is
The world I could never see, no matter how I strained,
unrealized dreams and longings
I wonder how the world looks, seen through their eyes
Hmm, it's lovely
I think it's really lovely
It's big
It's hard
It's curved
It's fine isn't it, Luigi?
It's more than fine, Mario
Do you get it, Morita? This isn't about having fun
Right, this is business
Right, unfortunately, before it's art...
Yeah, unfortunately, it's a product first
Finish it
You're stubborn
Just have a normal, fun, youthful love affair
I bet girls like you
If you just go for it
Hey, Takemoto
We're having a barbecue upstairs, join us
No, I'll pass
No, hey Did something bad happen?
Did something good happen?
Come eat Honestly, it's beef, real beef
Real beef
It's good
Tastes awful
But it's good
About this meat, you know the shopping arcade here I work
The young boss at Suzuki Butcher's, even though the young boss is over 40,
he'd been set up on a date,
and he was all for it and wanted to date her, but...
What's that paint smell?
I knew it was meat
It's not right, Morita san The delicate aroma of this meat...
Mr. Cow?
Want some?
Sure I will, but...
Meat, I like meat
Meat, I just love meat
I'd had a bad feeling all day, that day
Sorry
Why are you chasing me?
Because you ran away
I'm running because you're chasing
Really?
So, hat do you want?
Um...
You know
So, hat is it?
Um, Yamada
Why me?
What are you talking about?
I doubt I'll change
Um, it'll be much easier if you find another guy
I think you'd better stop looking at me
Was I dumped?
I hurt Yamada
After which...
Um...
In other words, I'm fired?
To put it bluntly
Because I love you?
Forgive me if I've misunderstood
No...
You're not wrong
This office is too small for that sort of thing
I understand I think you're absolutely correct
Thank you for understanding
Um, is that the only reason?
Yes
Your work as better than any of my other workers
I'm relieved to hear that
I'll think up a new approach and come back
Good bye
After which, I got dumped
Getting dumped,
the feelings only grew stronger
I'm talking about Yamada, here
Hey,
Hagu, that's...
It's cute
Why did you start working on such a large scale?
Honey, that's a wonderful question Do you mind if I anser?
Compared to the size of his talent, this is nothing at all
This isn't even relevant
He's heading off into the world
This is what it means to live by your art
Morita san's like a celebrity
He feels so far away... Is that a tuxedo?
I've never seen someone wearing a tuxedo
And he even looks good in it
Hole-Ridden Tree - Sold
This is...
I decided not to start over
This sho needed a giant piece of art to anchor it
I didn't have time to start over
The price is so high
We make the art,
and the gallery puts a price on it That's how this world orks
So I've done nothing wrong
Nothing wrong
You don't agree, do you?
