1
00:00:04,00 --> 00:00:07,10
It's been already thirty-some years ago

2
00:00:07,10 --> 00:00:10,52
There was a young man who lived in an apartment in this city

3
00:00:18,03 --> 00:00:21,18
His name was Ichiro

4
00:00:21,18 --> 00:00:24,43
He worked as a freelance animator

5
00:00:24,43 --> 00:00:36,46
Speaking of animators, everyone knows what kind of job it is now, but at that time, the word animation was not widely known yet

6
00:00:36,46 --> 00:00:39,15
When he goes to the tax office to file a tax return,

7
00:00:39,15 --> 00:00:45,92
"Animator? You are a manga artist. I'll tell you about the expenses..."

8
00:00:45,92 --> 00:00:50,67
When a police officer asks for his profession and he answers that he is an animator,

9
00:00:50,67 --> 00:00:54,38
"What? Anime-what? What kind of job is that?"

10
00:00:54,38 --> 00:00:57,18
It was like that

11
00:00:57,18 --> 00:01:01,60
Animators were not very well known to the public

12
00:01:01,60 --> 00:01:06,93
"But, you are drawing what you love so it must be fun"

13
00:01:13,93 --> 00:01:17,45
It was not as easy as what they thought although they were doing what they loved

14
00:01:35,18 --> 00:01:39,94
"Nishimoto-san, what were you doing before?"

15
00:01:39,94 --> 00:01:44,56
"I have majored in oil painting at the university but..."

16
00:01:44,56 --> 00:01:48,30
"Painting was not enough to put food on the table..."

17
00:01:48,30 --> 00:01:53,55
"I was thinking of doing animation simultaneously... but it's no good"

18
00:01:55,79 --> 00:01:58,98
"I"

19
00:01:58,98 --> 00:02:01,98
"Want to draw manga"

20
00:02:08,65 --> 00:02:10,37
Seki (Red)

21
00:02:10,37 --> 00:02:13,38
Shoku (Color)

22
00:02:13,38 --> 00:02:23,75
Sekishoku Elegy

23
00:02:23,75 --> 00:02:32,56
Original & Directed by Seiichi Hayashi

24
00:02:33,97 --> 00:02:38,03
Ichiro had a girlfriend

25
00:02:38,03 --> 00:02:41,44
Her name was Sachiko

26
00:02:51,50 --> 00:02:57,30
She was working as a coloring staff in the same anime industry

27
00:03:15,81 --> 00:03:22,44
She couldn't decide if she should go to the matchmaking coordinated by her relatives

28
00:03:23,37 --> 00:03:26,27
"Hey, did you read my letter?"

29
00:03:27,12 --> 00:03:33,16
She doesn't know if Ichiro, her current boyfriend, has the intention to marry her

30
00:03:33,78 --> 00:03:38,69
"I'm, going to get married"

31
00:03:43,38 --> 00:03:50,81
At the same time, she was worried about her sister who was taking care of their father after he had collapsed at home

32
00:03:50,81 --> 00:03:53,28
"Sorry"

33
00:03:54,65 --> 00:04:00,06
So, she took a gamble on him

34
00:04:00,06 --> 00:04:01,99
"Where are you going..."

35
00:04:25,92 --> 00:04:28,56
"Do you want some tea?"

36
00:04:59,61 --> 00:05:03,54
This is how their life as a couple started

37
00:05:05,50 --> 00:05:08,88
"I'm done with work"

38
00:05:08,88 --> 00:05:12,44
"Can you wake me up at 6!?"

39
00:05:12,44 --> 00:05:13,99
"No!"

40
00:05:13,99 --> 00:05:17,07
"You can't sleep!"

41
00:05:17,07 --> 00:05:20,43
"Please let me because it's Sunday today"

42
00:05:23,44 --> 00:05:27,49
"Please let me spend some time with you..."

43
00:05:31,75 --> 00:05:34,12
"Hey, Sachiko?"

44
00:05:34,12 --> 00:05:36,52
"What's up, sis?"

45
00:05:39,19 --> 00:05:51,06
"Dad said he will forget about your matchmaking so he wants you to come home..."

46
00:05:53,31 --> 00:05:59,22
"Sis..."

47
00:05:59,22 --> 00:06:10,43
"I can't. I, now, have someone I love..."

48
00:06:13,43 --> 00:06:14,75
"I'm home"

49
00:06:14,75 --> 00:06:16,68
"Wow, it's pitch dark in here"

50
00:06:22,55 --> 00:06:26,06
"I didn't know you were here"

51
00:06:26,06 --> 00:06:30,16
"My sister called me and we had a long talk"

52
00:06:30,16 --> 00:06:34,50
"Oh, really?"

53
00:06:34,50 --> 00:06:37,27
"What are you drawing?"

54
00:06:37,27 --> 00:06:42,76
"A manga, I've wanted to draw one"

55
00:06:42,76 --> 00:06:44,58
"Let me take a look"

56
00:06:44,58 --> 00:06:45,56
"Hey!"

57
00:06:45,56 --> 00:06:47,01
"Give it back"

58
00:06:56,31 --> 00:07:02,88
"If you tell me, that you love me, I will give it back..."

59
00:07:02,88 --> 00:07:05,82
"Okay, I'm going to tell you..."

60
00:07:08,38 --> 00:07:15,00
"Love you..."

61
00:07:15,00 --> 00:07:17,49
"Sorry!"

62
00:07:17,49 --> 00:07:21,56
"I was just a bit worried since my sister asked me a lot of questions..."

63
00:07:22,87 --> 00:07:25,47
It's bittersweet, isn't it?

64
00:07:25,47 --> 00:07:32,04
How well did Ichiro understand Sachiko's anxiousness?

65
00:07:32,04 --> 00:07:37,79
The main character of "No Longer Human", the Osamu Dazai's famous novel, is a manga artist

66
00:07:37,79 --> 00:07:43,10
The first line of the novel starts with "I have the worst profession..."

67
00:07:43,10 --> 00:07:47,45
But, manga became widely read after World War II

68
00:07:47,45 --> 00:07:52,20
The income of animators had become stable and few had build mansions too

69
00:07:52,20 --> 00:08:01,68
It's natural that Ichiro was attracted by manga artist as a occupation rather than an unstable freelance animator

70
00:08:05,18 --> 00:08:13,85
However, his manga was rejected

71
00:08:13,85 --> 00:08:15,97
This is also bittersweet

72
00:08:17,01 --> 00:08:20,57
Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse...

73
00:08:20,57 --> 00:08:23,89
The god of animation: Yasuo Ōtsuka

74
00:08:23,89 --> 00:08:26,33
"Hmm..."

75
00:08:26,33 --> 00:08:28,94
"This is terrible!"

76
00:08:28,94 --> 00:08:31,70
"It's messy"

77
00:08:31,70 --> 00:08:40,82
"Why don't you just tell me straight up, I'm not cut out for keyframes..."

78
00:08:44,60 --> 00:08:47,97
"You are not doing anything. You don't have any work to do?"

79
00:08:47,97 --> 00:08:51,75
"You are annoying. All you say is work and work..."

80
00:08:54,41 --> 00:08:57,13
"Why are you so irritated...?"

81
00:08:58,76 --> 00:09:03,65
"You should break up with a broke guy like me"

82
00:09:05,29 --> 00:09:07,74
"Ouch, now you did it!"

83
00:09:07,74 --> 00:09:10,29
"Wait!!"

84
00:09:15,34 --> 00:09:17,59
"Sachiko, where are you going?"

85
00:09:25,34 --> 00:09:28,84
"It's awful..."

86
00:09:57,09 --> 00:10:03,21
"Where did she go in this rain...?"

87
00:10:12,55 --> 00:10:16,36
It was just a lovers spat that happens to everyone

88
00:10:16,36 --> 00:10:20,72
But, it wasn't as bad since they were still young

89
00:10:22,74 --> 00:10:24,37
"Like this?"

90
00:10:24,37 --> 00:10:27,67
To prove that it wasn't bad...

91
00:10:27,67 --> 00:10:29,25
"Hmm... something is off..."

92
00:10:29,25 --> 00:10:32,64
"Like..."

93
00:10:32,64 --> 00:10:34,26
"No way!"

94
00:10:34,26 --> 00:10:37,86
"No way I'm posing like that"

95
00:10:37,86 --> 00:10:43,11
"But, to think the I'd be the model in your paint forever when it sells..."

96
00:10:44,76 --> 00:10:47,25
"That's lovely"

97
00:10:47,25 --> 00:10:50,91
See? They made up in no time

98
00:10:50,91 --> 00:10:55,91
"I want to see the ocean..."

99
00:10:55,91 --> 00:11:00,62
"Someday, we'll go..."

100
00:11:05,42 --> 00:11:09,75
However, there was another unfortunate event

101
00:11:16,00 --> 00:11:22,34
"Your father has been hospitalized. It's urgent. Give me a call. Mom"

102
00:11:22,34 --> 00:11:28,85
Ichiro received a notice that his father had diagnosed with a suspected cancer

103
00:11:28,85 --> 00:11:34,38
He had headed home and stayed there until his father's condition became stable

104
00:11:34,38 --> 00:11:37,40
He came back to Tokyo after making sure that his father was okay

105
00:11:38,63 --> 00:11:40,66
However...

106
00:11:43,05 --> 00:11:44,50
"That old man!"

107
00:11:49,64 --> 00:11:52,89
"He just died"

108
00:12:12,03 --> 00:12:22,96
For an unknown reason, he didn't go home to attend his father's funeral

109
00:12:22,96 --> 00:12:30,17
There are crossroads in life, and there are times when you stop to think about which way to go

110
00:12:40,87 --> 00:12:49,82
In his case, it's was his father's death along with his feelings towards his mother and little sister

111
00:12:49,82 --> 00:12:53,96
Ichiro decided to go home

112
00:13:12,49 --> 00:13:17,41
He took Sachiko to the ocean where he promised

113
00:13:28,42 --> 00:13:31,71
"Ichiro, where are you going?"

114
00:13:31,71 --> 00:13:34,91
"You are cold. You are leaving me behind"

115
00:13:34,91 --> 00:13:36,51
"I'm not cold"

116
00:13:36,51 --> 00:13:39,71
"Wait up!"

117
00:13:39,71 --> 00:13:44,46
He was getting ready to say goodbye

118
00:13:55,66 --> 00:14:01,62
It requires several times more energy for breaking up than starting to date

119
00:14:11,23 --> 00:14:13,65
"Huh"

120
00:14:13,65 --> 00:14:15,73
"I drunk a lot"

121
00:14:17,73 --> 00:14:19,91
"You are not going to ask who I was drinking with?"

122
00:14:19,91 --> 00:14:23,60
"No... I'm working"

123
00:14:23,60 --> 00:14:26,40
"Work!"

124
00:14:26,40 --> 00:14:27,62
"Idiot!"

125
00:14:27,62 --> 00:14:29,47
"Don't step on them!"

126
00:14:29,47 --> 00:14:33,28
"Sorry for being an idiot"<br />"What! It's always about you..."<br />"If I'm not stupid, I wouldn't be here right now!"

127
00:14:33,28 --> 00:14:35,97
"Shut up! I can't work!"

128
00:14:35,97 --> 00:14:39,67
"Sorry about that, I probably shouldn't be here!"

129
00:14:39,67 --> 00:14:41,90
"Come here!"

130
00:14:43,39 --> 00:14:47,38
Again, they hurt each other sometimes

131
00:15:02,88 --> 00:15:08,30
"So, do you want me to be here?"

132
00:15:15,91 --> 00:15:17,50
"Stop it!"

133
00:15:52,49 --> 00:15:57,99
And, this was when Ichiro broke the news

134
00:16:10,07 --> 00:16:11,24
"Let's break up"

135
00:16:44,87 --> 00:16:54,41
"I had always thought you could never say a 'goodbye'..."

136
00:17:02,07 --> 00:17:03,64
"Do you hate me now?"

137
00:17:03,64 --> 00:17:10,75
"No, I still love you"

138
00:17:10,75 --> 00:17:14,25
"Then, what is it? Tell me"

139
00:17:14,25 --> 00:17:16,77
"There’s nothing I can do"

140
00:17:16,77 --> 00:17:21,02
"That's a lie!"

141
00:17:23,06 --> 00:17:26,02
"There is something wrong with me"

142
00:18:14,88 --> 00:18:18,63
"You are free"

143
00:18:21,27 --> 00:18:31,33
"He said I'm free but I'm lonely..."

144
00:18:49,25 --> 00:18:54,17
"Sis!"<br /> "What?"<br /> "Sachiko! What's going on?"<br /> "What happened to you?"

145
00:18:54,17 --> 00:19:00,15
"I'm lonely. That guy has a family"

146
00:19:05,40 --> 00:19:11,44
(Silence)

147
00:19:14,29 --> 00:19:18,66
"She hasn't been back..."

148
00:19:23,67 --> 00:19:26,00
"Not yet..."

149
00:19:26,00 --> 00:19:30,25
"She hasn't come back"

150
00:19:33,86 --> 00:19:39,94
"I have a feeling that she is there today"

151
00:19:39,94 --> 00:19:43,46
"Why am I having a stupid thought like that?"

152
00:19:47,48 --> 00:19:51,46
"She is not there..."

153
00:19:53,75 --> 00:20:02,75
"I'm lonely..."

154
00:20:05,13 --> 00:20:07,19
"She isn't here... Alright"

155
00:20:12,74 --> 00:20:15,40
Monday, 6 pm, Come to Roshu. Sachiko

156
00:20:15,40 --> 00:20:18,40
Sachiko

157
00:20:19,60 --> 00:20:23,85
"That girl..."

158
00:20:24,66 --> 00:20:27,73
"She came here"

159
00:20:31,00 --> 00:20:34,81
"That girl..."

160
00:20:39,58 --> 00:20:53,59
"She's back..."

161
00:21:14,59 --> 00:21:17,47
"Don't be quiet and tell me"

162
00:21:17,47 --> 00:21:19,98
"The reason you are breaking up with me"

163
00:21:19,98 --> 00:21:23,95
"What will you do when you know it?"

164
00:21:23,95 --> 00:21:29,15
"Don't be like that, that's not going to take us anywhere"

165
00:21:29,15 --> 00:21:33,15
"It's not going to take us anywhere. It's the end"

166
00:21:36,50 --> 00:21:39,25
"This is our goodbye, right here..."

167
00:21:39,25 --> 00:21:43,28
Ichiro!

168
00:21:43,28 --> 00:21:44,78
Bang!

169
00:21:58,22 --> 00:22:01,72
"I drunk too much"

170
00:22:10,21 --> 00:22:13,71
"Wow, my head is spinning"

171
00:22:22,42 --> 00:22:25,58
(Vomiting sound)

172
00:22:28,85 --> 00:22:32,97
"Oh, no. I have to clean it up"

173
00:22:35,53 --> 00:22:37,78
"I have to clean it up"

174
00:22:40,91 --> 00:22:43,06
Painful

175
00:22:43,06 --> 00:22:46,02
But... Maybe tomorrow...

176
00:22:46,02 --> 00:22:51,79
This pain will be gone

177
00:22:51,79 --> 00:22:56,17
I had the same thought yesterday...

178
00:23:31,67 --> 00:23:36,42
Many young people still come to Tokyo with dreams nowadays

179
00:23:36,42 --> 00:23:40,92
They have the freedom to chose their partners as well as their way of living

180
00:23:40,92 --> 00:23:45,67
The city is also an experimental site for living with freedom

181
00:23:45,67 --> 00:23:51,17
What kind of dream do you draw?

182
00:23:51,17 --> 00:23:58,67
The End
