Sapuri (2006) - full transcript

2006

Tokyo

So that I can wake up
whenever I fall asleep

I have been wearing really tight oufits

The four mental monitors in my head
have all become

relax images...
that's how much

me, Fujii Minami

was tired

but

hello?

where are you?
where are you heading?



huh?

My cell phone it was here with me
till like a sec ago but

when I looked, it wasn't there

so I think I left it
when I almost missed my stop so

I got off the train real suddenly and...

please calm down

I'm in a train right now so...
I can't really talk too much

uh...

I lost my cell phone

it seems so

and I'm really in trouble

it seems so

sorry but can you deliver it to me

please



I'm waiting at the stop before

I have work now

I have an interview now

for a job

good luck

thank you

so I will leave this cell phone
at the lost and found at the station

please come get it later

but

I'm no good without my cell phone

uh..you know

what do you call it?

now a days kid

so..

I'm one too

but you should concentrate on your interview

are you kidding?

isn't your interview important?

not that, I mean that you are a now a day kid...

it's a lie right?

your voice sounds old

old?

first time

that's the first time someone said that

should I just quit?

the interview?

a beautiful day like this
I think to myself

there must be other stuff

like something that's more exciting

like something only I can do

more...

besides

happiness?

what is it really?

what are you saying?

listen

if life is 80 years

the first 20 years you are brought up (taught)

the middle 40 years just work

the last 20 years just relax and enjoy

yes

the rule of the world is created like that

if you are human too
don't disobey that, you young kid

Work!

Lost and Found

It was a commercial that I had seen before

in the rain, a dog just walking around

when i too was lost in those days

I wondered where this dog was going

even after I saw it

it just stuck to my mind

forever

even if it's only 15 seconds

it can reach someone

I remebered that

yes?

you're late?

to the interview?

but like

I was on time

but I lost my cell phone on the way

but like I'm really late

so I thought I should tell you

just go

run there

if you're late, just apologize

with that smile of yours,
it's good

anyways, just have fun
ENJOY

late

sorry

I had to pick up a lost cell phone

what's this?

is that excuse popular?

Let's go

the right is Ogi "sama"

oh?
he's pretty normal

you know, Ogihara

he's the from Osaka

I heard he's really popular

people say Ogi-sama striking Tokyo

striking? what is he? a typhoon?

he's 10 years too young to be so popular
he's just a kid

please don't try to compete

sorry to make you wait

he will be

in charge of today's cm orientation

He is Hirayama from advertisement

I'm Imaoka from Create Agency

I'm Watanabe working at the desk

are you the new...

oh

I'm Ishida Yuya, a part-time worker

so...an advertisement is

called advertisement because you inform widely
(the japanese characters for advertisement are wide and to inform)

TV, radio, newspaper, magazine, signs

tissues passed out in the streets

cities are filled with advertisements

approximately 4000 commercials are aired in a day

this is where commercials are made in our company

Walker Insurance

10 year Japan anniversary CM

I'm sorry, the last meeting
went over

you're working on too many CMs

in our company the average person
works on 5.5 cms

and the average working hour is
10.5 hours

you exceed that right?

sorry

How do you get someone's interest

if they don't care about insurance

How do you overcome the barrier

a foreign company has?

I would like to hear some ideas

if this project succeeds

it will be $10 million a year

let's get this client

Fujii, I'm counting on you

A feeling that someone is depending on you

it is a moment that all the blood in your body
becomes very hot

yes

A job like our's

starts from a very simple step

first draw a square

then think of an introduction, development, turn,
and a conclusion

no matter how many million dollars will be spent on a campaign
it all starts here

inside one's brain

Fujii-san?

yes?

mail for you

please send this

and this

please give it to the desk

yes

realizing that person
in the streets

standing still

will be 15 seconds later

hello?

what?

I'm working right now

serious?

serious? really?

what?

from this morning?

What part do you think a harami is?

huh?

I went to a steak place yesterday
and I wondered

what is a harami?

since it's hara (Japanese for stomach)
is it meat from stomach?

but then what about mino?

what are you?
all a sudden

I'm Yugi Yoko
a copyrighter

I don't work here

I work on my own

I'll show you around so listen well

Oh Yugi

good timing,

I know him

can you show him around

I already am

since you ordered me before

oh really?
did I?

whatever

Enjoy, have fun

That Enjoy man

ENJOY man?

well a CM

first you receive an order from a client

what kind of thing will be sold in what kind of way

listening to that explanation is
Orientation

shortened to "orien"

the sales people are in charge

please tell us in more detail about the target audience

is that ok?

and then

when orien is over

planning begins

part-time, part-time

make a copy and bring it to the sales deparment

here

oh

stomach is o-kakumaku

really?

then what's mino?
(still talking about steaks)

mino mino mino

excuse me, this

copy machine

copy machine, copy machine

let's go

that team is planning

and that's the desk

is that the new part-time?

he's good~

are you gonna go for him, Watanabe?

I have no interest in part-timers

Hi! Yugi-chan

Hi~!

are you part-timer?

yes

oh~

give this to Ogiwara

Ogiwara-san

see you at the meeting later

yes~

and then once they receive an OK

in their direction

then they think of a concrete plan

at the creative meeting

when the ideas are done, then there's the presentation

if it's OK, then it's created
if not, the cycle again

and ordering this whole cycle

is him

I told you this was no good

even though he looks like that, he's in a high position

ENJOY man

ENJOY man

well so if you want to work in this world

remember all this

it's not like that really

oh here you are

come on, hurry

hurry

huh?

hey

do it

what are you doing?

you have to do it right

ready?

how is it?

no

no?
why?

this is

the exact same as the ice cream one

oh you knew?

not a good image?

no

no way~ you're so strict

but

you were..

really good at this

Mita-san

Mita-san

what?

did you bring the poster?

I gave it to the part-timer

oh also

did you get the copy?
I gave it to the part-timer

who's the part-timer?

he has a cute face

cute face?

sorry

who are you?

Fujii-san!

it's horrible

what's with those people?

they use me too much

about last time

thank you

my cell phone

but things like this happen

working at the same company

us, maybe we are

like connected by a "red electric wave destiny"

did you know that electric wave isn't all connected

but really~
I'm so glad

I'm actually not good with new people

so I'm glad there was someone I knew

thank you

here

what's this?

please organize it in order of number into the files

it's your job

part-timer

and also in this workforce

there's no afternoon or night
or no breaks

you can't see your family and friends
that often

but that's totally normal so
get used to it

counting on you

yes

I'll do my best

part-timer, is it done?

I'm leaving
Thanks!
Ishida Yuya

that guy!

Ba-ka!
(stupid)

fire him?

who?

that part-timer

Thanks! Stupid
leaving that behind

Oh! Yuya-chan

how is he?

isn't his smile cute?

I don't really care about
younger guys

it's tiring

love is tiring?

you're getting old

but that guy, that part-timer

his name is Ishida Yuya

why are you being so soft on him

that no common sense guy

his dad was

a photographer and
my elder

Yu~

Yu~ya

Yu~ya-kun

wait one sec

He was always very lively
and a good photographer

but

5 years ago suddenly

isn't that why?

this workforce

not being able to see family or friends

that's normal

you can't accept that, that easily

he said that his name isn't part-timer

young people lately

they have pride like that

vegetable sticks
no celery

yes sir

but him too

his mother worked in insurance company

and let him go to college
but he dropped out

if I offer him a job

this tie just strangles my throat

this

so...

I quit

I thought he was kind of interesting

well he's not really on top of everything

people would say

but

that doesn't mean he isn't good for this workforce

that's why I accepted him

we need someone who says something interesting

I don't think that interesting is what is important

what's important

is how much passion you have for work

don't be so tight, and just have a drink

I'll be leaving first

I still have work

1/3 disappears in a year?

in the creative

competition is tough

especially at the headquarters

So Fujii-san is working hard

you know her?

Nice work today

since when has it been

that i read work luck first

in magazine horoscopes?

love luck is just as important

well it should be

I'll call tomorrow again

the 4 years I spent with him

am I still too attatched to it?

but now

I'm gonna eat and get energy

for tomorrow's work

Let's go

Yea!

you suck

shut up

again again

14th

huh?

my part-time this one is my 14th

should I just find a 15th

you're quitting again?

I dunno...it just annoys me

no matter where I go I like feel this attitude

I don't care about you

I really feel it

it's painful

me too

yes~

then let's just move somewhere

Okinawa is good

I'm getting a job

what about Hawaii?

in like Honolulu

let's be in the marathon

you're getting a job?

Root sales

it's a small company that deals with like insulators

it's my dad's connection

it's just annoying you know

when people ask

not being able to say what you are

and you know you want salary

honestly speaking

bye

yes yes

you forgot this

no~

cute smile

leave now
within today

today?

impossible

my appartment is closing

I signed and I didn't even know it

who cares?
find somewhere else

no

I don't have the money

no

I'm no good

like living with other people and stuff

the copy is ready so

I'll leave it here

I see...that's your relationship

don't tell anyone

then can I stay?

Welcome

Insurance, Family

Money..

is there another way

should we do more hearing

oh the next presentation

I hear the head is coming from America

why don't we take that into consideration

but

we are very domestic in Japan

thanks

wait you

isn't your mother working in the insurance

does she have like a saying for when she
convinces her customers to join?

even if you say that suddenly

no use asking a part-timer

yes?

oh~

nice talking to you

you sound great

a woman?

yes it is

it's a woman?

no question

when someone tells you to do it

you don't want to study
and in the same way

in the same way

when you say join, join you don't want to

that's insurance

that's what my mom said

I understand
I will be seeing you

join after you're sick

join after you get hurt

join after you die,
like stuff like that

like when you say stuff like that

she said that people actually listen

I think

join insurance after you die...

you can't join

that's what you use

well it's a good start

I won't specify a style

a joke, story, documentary

anything is good

next will be in 3 days

gather all the members and come here

you think of something too

me

me?

Basic knowledge about maing a commercial

I didn't think you were here

it's very surprising

nothing really

I had extra time and I was bored so

I was looking for comics and...

buck teeth "Gachapin"
(gacahapin is a Japanese characters with buck teeth and huge eyes)

my old nickname?

buck teeth "Gachapin"

shh

sorry

I used to have really badly lined teeth

and I always had braces on

and my eyes were big

and I was a hard working student

and people started calling me that

and I was really lost

and then I saw that CM

the one where the dog is simply walking around
in the rain

I felt like I was seeing myself

and I felt better

and I thought that, that was amazing

that's why I joined this workforce

it was the right choice

I met a lot of people/things

I hope you have good meetings too

I'm counting on you

Ishida

ok

Gachapin

Where's Fujii-san?

yes?

She's not here right now

then can I give you a message

Please tell her

Nakazawa

Hello?

I was just about to call you

I told you I started

Aikido

so I'll go to that and

then I stay over to work on project

how's tomorrow?

can we meet?

yes I think at this point

aren't you too busy lately?

I'm fine, don't worry

From Tanaka-san
Jewelry Set Plan changed
please tell staff asap

yea?

wanna go to the beach?

when?

tomorrow?

I can't

have work

so

I'll call you back

I'm working right now

From Tanaka-san
Jewelry Set Plan changed
please tell staff asap

oh

another girl?

no

my divorced wife?

wife?

why does she come now?

I don't know

she suddenly called me

and she has something to tell me

she's here

is it really your wife?

I know

it's another girl

Natsuki

Natsuki?

who is that?

he hung up on me

I will be depending on you for
the next 6 months

welcome

6 months?

Natsuki!

I was invited to Hungary

Hungary?

I was invited to Philharmony

I'm gonna be their concertmaster

so please take care of her

well

let me see

good

hand it in

sorry I woke you up

this is the data from before

oh it's already this time

the part-timer was writing one

very hardly

how was the idea?

hmm...

it's just scribble

but when you're young

it's better to experience different things

you're young too but

you're very mature

Ohgi-sama

you don't remember me?

during training

any questions?

as an elder

you came to talk

I asked a question very simply

yes

go ahead

after you got your job

did you experience anything that you thought,
I didn't want to do this?

to begin,
what you want to do

it's not possible that there is a career out there
just for that

but since you're working don't you want
something that's worth doing

then work hard and please find what's worth doing

I was stunned

that day was my entrance to the company

so

until this hour

seeing you work

I thought you really haven't changed

oh, you put this on

oh, you looked cold

thanks

hello?

tomorrow

I'll go to the beach

hospital?

he has a 39 degree fever

so there's no creative debut for that part-timer?

he probably didn't think of anything

you suck

Directly, I cut out the moments of life and death

if you got in an accident

with your last conscience
you'll think about all sorts of things

oh~

I wish I was in an insurance

just when you're about to regret it

relief from worries

your conscience back and your life back

and then there are these words

join when you can

Walker Insurance

isn't it too lively

there's impact

is there anything more...

like a message

like?

I can't give that much of a hint

he really doesn't have an idea

let's try thinking of another slogan

Fujii-san?

there's trouble with Jewelry Company

subs:dancestar24

memo?

you received the message?

the client got mad

when the project was handed in

the order to change the set plan
hadn't happened and

from there, there just came more and more complaints

the situation got worse and

Fujii-san is being blamed for

Please do

I'm sorry

uh...

uh...

it's fine

don't worry

hello? this is Fujii

I'm sorry

I'm sorry it's my mistake

for not making sure

I will work on it now

and then join here later

I'm really sorry

sorry

sorry I can't go today

It's fine I'll wait

To the designer I'll ask if

changing this a little will be a good enough

[I don't know what time it will be]

[I want to see you, there's something I want to say]

sorry I can't

Nice work

I'll wait as long as it takes

Most horoscopes are divided into
love and work luck

I'm sorry, we are closed for today

that's because

the two are linked

I wanted to give this to you, seeing you
but it's impossible now
sorry

sorry

this is all I can make

no

thanks

he's not coming

he's in a shallow place

my mom often said that

he's only in shallow places

always saying Enjoy Enjoy

he just goes after what he likes

I think it's a perfect time

Creative Director: imaoka kiyotaro

why don't you have another face than that

another face?

just a father

Natsuki
I'm borrowing this

you come too

where are you going?

Imaoka-san

what do you want in the middle of the night

we were drinking

it was just getting good

ok

we're gonna make the presentation now

from now?

Walker Insurance

in the sophisticated western writing

add the simple, direct, familiar Japanese culture

I was told to help you

no need

but

I'm fine
I can do this myself

uh...

this morning

uh..

this morning

it was a lie that I was in a hospital

actually I was playing at the beach

hanging out with my friends

No worry, I'm fine

But, you're mad

I'm fine

but

I'm telling I'm fine

I don't want to make things worse

I have work to do so, go

I can do this myself

what's that?

ignoring me?

just erasing other people

what is fine?

what is I can do this myself?

not like that but

uh..

like

if you want to say something why don't you just

you don't like it

you don't like work

you...

just like being by yourself

Ishida
make copies

for everyone

Ishida!

quickly

like appearing on a white sketchbook and
disappearaing

like even a kid can understand

hey

how's this?
listen?

Imaoka-san too

come on

it's really good

see?

you must be tired

would you like any

coffee, rice balls, sandwiches, etc.

there's a lot of stuff

here

copy

again?

how is it

please go first
I'll deliver it later

let's go

yes

thank you everyone

I'll be going

It gets me tired watching her

holding on to the company's name

looking like I'm really working hard

work doesn't save a woman

a woman with just work

is worse than a man,
those poor people

doesn't she realize, she's seen that way?

it's true that

now it's like that

but

if you do good work

you can meet a good guy

it becomes a sapuri
(sapuri=supplement)

sapuri?

a nutrient for being a good woman

don't you think that, that's a thrill in a woman's life

this time what we would like to present

is kanji (japanese characters)

kanji?
- yes

[person]

person

what person needs to do before they die

[death]

[death]

that would be to

look back on your life
(the characters stand and look are used)

[parents]
a person eventually becomes a parent
(all of the small characters together create the character for parent)

what can you do then?
[what can you leave]

it's receiving good ratings

they want to go in this direction

I was told that we will get an answer soon

told you

yes

Nice to see you

oh...

Create Agency was involved too?

Konishiki?

hello

this way please

we lost

yes we lost

we lost to Konishiki

Konishiki?

the sumo wrestler?

according to what I heard

in the contents, our plan was superior but

when there's a celebrity

Konishiki...

Americans want

well that's better

well i mean

all we are doing is drawing on a
canvas in the desert

when the wind blows
that's it

let's enjoy our loss

but we were offered to compete

in the next CM
of their company

another one?

I'm passing,
I have other work

I will do it

please let me

thanks

I can't believe you do this

like

a job that you don't even know will happen

useless job

why do you do it?

I mean no matter how much you work
the salary is the same

I mean

isn't work just money

as long as you make money
it's better that it's easy and fun

go have fun at the beach

have fun with friends

isn't that what everyone does

but why

why do you work that hard?

why?

when I realized

I was here

really?

yes I see

that's all I could say

at first

when I first started,
and I was your age

in any meeting

I couldn't say what I wanted

to what the old men said

I just agreed

really?

yes I agree

really?

yes I agree

but one day, one person accepted me

a project I drew

it's not that good but there's passion

passion?

I wanted to answer to that

and when I realized I was a planner

the first CM I did

I met him

together forever
(the slogan of the commercial)

he told me that, he'll definitely give it to me

when I become a real worker
doing realy well

I'll give you a box
(of the product from the CM)

instead of a ring

together forever

so...

then with him

what happened?

it's an old story

but

it's really strong

only 15 seconds

is a memory forever

if it wasn't for this job I wouldn't have realized

how important each second is

if you really make use of it, how much it can shine

I feel really happy

if I can live through such seconds

I think that I can be happy from now on too

so

what are you doing?

Aikido

I'm taking lessons

using the other's strength, you throw it back

isn't that similar to this job?

no

like this

go ahead

we broke up

why?

finally

we're not long distance

A happy one second

if something like that really existed

honestly, I didn't really understand then

but at this moment

this one second

one second

five seconds

15 seconds

just a little longer

I wished it could last a little longer
