In Las Vegas

- Mr. Hyuga?
- I can't reach him

[I'm good now, don't disturb]
What does he mean by that?

- Hyuga
- I'll look there

Mr. Hyuga?

President Hyuga?

He's not here

President?

What the hell are you doing?



What is it?

He's back

He's back in Japan

Hello

Hyuga, you're playing with
the e-mail auto-reply software

I'm buying India's Power Trunk

What? .. that Cloud Company?

They're selling for
900 M dollars, let's buy

We can't let go of our cash right now

It's fine

You two guys are both against me

Of course

You should listen to me

Asahina laughed, it means it's OK



Damn

I acquired Power Trunk ...
What's the response?

Excellent response

Good morning, my name is Yasuoka

Data gathering right now ...
Network India?

They're impatient

One more point

What?

Who are you?

I'm Yasuoka

President Hyuga I know you don't remember
people you have no interest in

I know that but still I'm your ...

I remember you

It's the 12th time you smile to me

Hyuga ... Mr. Hyuga

- Please .. please
- Enough now

Welcome, welcome ... too close

There are very few places like this in Japan

A company offering state-of-the-art design

Looking for a job, IT venture number one

A plethora of excellent engineers and beauties

Yes, we are a Japanese companies that cares

A Stock market value of 3 billion Dollars
.. NEXT INNOVATION

The company under the spotlights of Japan

Let's give you a tour of
NEXT INNOVATION company

Could these be oxygen capsules?

The gym

Next the fan room

The cafeteria

The study lounge

On the roof terrace the Green Oasis

A veggie garden? ..
You'll find anything in this company

Far too innovative

Toru Hyuga has a personal capital
of 2.5 B dollars at the age of 29

If you convert this into a regular salary,
Mr. Hyuga earns 60,000 dollars/hour

Each team supervisor comes in person

for a presentation of each project

I thought so

That monitor behind

displays the sales of each team

For the kids on summer vacation

It's good

On a simple word of the President
a project turns into large scale sales

Everyone give all his heart

At this moment he just realized a 50 M sale

How can it be so lucrative?

Mr. Asahina the partner of the President

8 years ago when the university opened

They started the company in an old students' room

On the walls are the memories of numerous employees

Creativity blossoms in a relaxed atmosphere

Is this a Utopia? Or a new work structure?

What do you mean by "work"?

As soon as I'm employed, I'll dedicate myself to the company

So ... why don't you hire me?

Have some self-confidence,
we're not in July yet

The term is very soon

[8 months before in November]
A consulting company for small
and medium enterprises

makes profit ... Other than this ..

Haruka ... I'm with Kuga

Good morning

I bought the job hunting reference,
Am I too late?

I even took the qualifications supplement

I wish I came back a year in time ..
no I don't wish

'You Okay?

That person is a counselor hired
by the resource department

A job hunting counselor?
- No, a psychological counselor

He hasn't been approved
for the 4th year in a row

[5 months before in February]
37.. 38.. 39.. 40

With all these job applications
I have no time to sleep

40 requests in average, my hand is tired

If it was 40 sheets to write, it would be OK

But answering the question
on each one is a drag

Please chose a number between 1 and 9
and explain why you chose it
But answering the question
on each one is a drag

Please chose a number between 1 and 9
and explain why you chose it

"Yes, 1 and 8, it's my birthday"

Could I write something else?

The schedule for the final exam came,
they also want a report

Our university wants to kill us

Test ... Report ... Entry sheet

My part-time job ... gotta go

A table for 4 ... welcome

Pickled seaweed and liver ... 2

Chilled cucumber, homemade miso,
one with mayonnaise

Pork skewer 3, 1 liver, 1 pork

add a Chef's Salad Mimosa

Served with crispy onion chips .. 2

Mr. Koyama wants a plum cocktail,
but gets mad if you put a plum into it

The man at the counter

yesterday after the second beer he turned odd

- You'd better be careful
- Great university student

Your memory is unparalleled ..
there you are

- What's the scary face?
- I didn't sleep

Here are your beers

I'm sorry

Quick do something

Towel .. towel .. bring a towel

A pile of towels .. hurray

30th interview. .. 0 approved

We will begin a group discussion

In a week the planet will be destroyed

But 3 persons will survive

Please explain to me who will survive

Please start

Well obviously the boss will survive

Mr. Hashiguchi, you're hired now

Mr. Inoue.. Mr. Okamoto ..

Again I ended up memorizing
unnecessary names

You never speak .. 'you OK?

That is ...

I will probably die

.. that is if the planet is destroyed

No one will survive, right?

I was told it was better to follow the book

So I studied

I have no idea how hiring works

What can I do? You'll give me a "0"

You're worrying too much

I'm begging you so please
I need a break now

In such a refined place, dressed nicely

People with a nice job ..
What's the difference between them and me?

We'll set up a system
on the web to manage a census

You mean a nationwide census

We'll build up a common system where
each citizen has his registered number

In 3 years?

You think numbers will solve everything?

Why has the pension record been erased?

Because the management is falling apart

Information that is not organized is useless

We'll be make good use of it

The company will increase in value?

I only want to realize my projects,
I don't need praise

And actually what is your project?

I want a personal file on each citizen

On the web individual files
approved by the government

All data on one file from birth to death

Then no one has to go to the city hall
for administrative purpose

But we'd have to come up with
the initial investment .. we can't do that

If we wait for the government to do it
this unfair system will last

People will die before receiving
any decent pension

You have no need for a pension

I need the personal files

The government doesn't keep count
of people's pension dead or alive

We don't have to endure this state of things

You should not put a hand
into such high-risk enterprise

If this was your company,
you wouldn't do it, right?

but we will do it

Sure, I was accountant in a strict company

If the company collapses
we are left bare handed

- He's spending too much money, right?
- That's right

But I'm excited by his project

At last we can take up a large scale project

You guys are so ambitious

I keep my promise

I told you, when I recruited you

The work will never be boring

All right then ... let's go for it

I wonder if Hyuga remembers my name

He remembers all right ...
but he doesn't remember

- He can't remember you
- He can't remember me?

He can't remember
people's faces and names

It's a medical condition called
Prosopagnosia (face recognition deficiency)

What? He's sick?

Why does he want to build a census?

It's just a matter of luck
if you're not hired

I don't need your sympathy

I need to figure out practically
how to make it

- Here you are
- Thank you

How about setting up your own company?

A Stock market value of 3 billion Dollars ..
personal wealth 250 M

He's only 29

Doesn't help me in any way

There are many like him

But he dropped out of high school

What, junior high school?

Let me see the guy

There... Look ... his company is setting
an recruiting session next week

You should go, it could be your destiny

But the girls he hires

Are only fashion model types taller than 165cm

You'll never get a chance

Stop that

Kuga stop

- Hello
- It's your brother

You have received the package?

You could at least call Mom

I'm sorry

Hard time finding a job?

You'll be fine, your future is bright

You studied so hard

Your parents and teachers
all agreed you're smart

What's the matter?

It could be a failure

I'll call you back later

I need someone to cheer me up

Even a single person can change the world

Make the impossible, possible

Break the shackles of old values
and discover a new common sense

NEXT INNOVATION ..
Will give a shock to the world

I don't have enough

- I'm sorry
- May I help you?

May try them on?

Are you job hunting?

Good luck

Last year I wore out 3 pair job hunting

Dear Mr. Sawaki, forgive me
if we haven't been introduced

Would you remember me? Toru Hyuga

Are you my mother?

Ouch ...

Every time you fall asleep,
it's not acceptable

I'm looking for a place where
I'm beaten when I fall sleep

The maintenance costs of this alley

who do you squeeze it from?

Please come anytime

Then I'll come back

I found a person who bears
the same name as my mother

Chihiro Sawaki

I googled and I found her

I don't know her age,
she might not be my mother

Is it self-centeredness
to search for one's birth?

Not at all, everyone wants
to know who they are

Then

That .. is .. amazing

Hello, I'm Hyuga with
NEXT INNOVATION

Let's talk about innovation

Let's talk about Innovation

Hearing the word Innovation, what comes to your mind?

Kosuke Asahina with
NEXT INNOVATION

holding half the shares
of the company as a partner

doesn't change the fact that

Toru Hyuga IS Next Innovation

Yoko, how did you enter here?

There's no place that I can't enter

Why can't you go on stage, brother?

Charisma, he's fine on his own

I missed you

We are not unlucky children born
in a society ridden with obstacles

Now the impossible has become possible

The old values that we thought once unshakable

Just one person in one day can destroy them

In the 20s who would have thought
that one man could earn a 100 M dollars

You can make that choice

If you consider that you're the unlucky guy

You give up and watch the action from your seat

Or you are that guy
who decides to change the world?

Which guy are you?

You know Charisma ...

It's boring to let me talk

Only an eccentric can pull it

Let's talk then

You .. What did you come here for?

I want to work with you

So once you're in you are fulfilled,
you belong to the passive crowd

You?

If I enter NEXT INNOVATION
I can start something new

Amazing

You'll be loafing around in our company
hoping for newness to happen?

It will never come

I pay 208 employees to bring up newness

You?

How many job offers have you got?

- Not one yet
- Not one in this season?

- You graduated from
an obscure university, right?

No, from the University of Tokyo

I see

We live in an era where illustrious
universities are not rewarded

Do you have any fundamental flaw?

Those who haven't had any offers please go

This session is set according to such criterion

For 8 months you've been
scrutinized by various companies

At this point

So those who have been through
that tedious process are suitable for us

Among those who have this potential
I can find the right ones

That's why ..

if you want to enter here ... that's it

Those who have been accepted
by more than 2 companies

Only those who have turned down these
2 offers can enter my company

Please stay

Here he is, this is our Hyuga

So he's that type of man

The man I believed in

Why didn't you tell us from the start

- My bad, I only remembered now
- Scoundrel

Miss "University of Tokyo", it's over

Thank you for letting me know
your diplomas and qualifications

She is the living example of our
Japanese educational system's failure

Or rather a victim

She has been studying as she was told

yet she's grown to be an redundant person

You'll be fine, you're smart

You're brave

NEXT INNOVATION, February 2004

Toru Hyuga started with
his personal web page

He then started with Kosuke Asahina
a big telecom companies

The company was set up in June, 2004

January 2007, listed on the
Tokyo Mothers Stock Market

2010, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange

July 2012, Current market capitalization 30 B

Starting from the left Kazuo Yoshida ..

chief programmer, Mr. Satoshi Ogawa, Mr. Riichi Hosoki ..

Mr. Hosoki This month's sales are 15 B dollars ..

We got it

You have a vast memory filled
with useless details ... we got it all right

Before coming here I studied your company in every detail

Because I sincerely want to enter it

You're right no one hired me

But it's not because other
company didn't select me

that I am useless to your company

You think excellence is
in interesting application forms?

that someone looking good
in a discussion group has skills?

of course communication skills are indispensable

Do you want to be surrounded by such people only

Sure I am clumsy

I'm an odd ball with strange thoughts

When I'm in a group I bump into people

But doesn't even this create energy?

You're a sore loser, go back home

You should look at each person carefully

even if thousands of people apply

But even if I look thousands of people

the result will still be these guys here

But ... your rebellious heart is a good thing

People who have changed the world
are the rebellious ones

Your rage is not a bad thing

Miss University of Tokyo

This is not my name

it is Chihiro Sawaki

You are Sawaki Chihiro

- Something wrong?
- Nope

I memorized your name,
although I'll probably forget your face

I get it

Please do it today

What's the matter?

Let's resume

The personal file project
is huge but the profit too

If we integrated the census of
the whole nation with our technology

With our system of security and update

We'll permanently integrate them
it's a government contract

We're not the only company
who wants a government contract

We should start with the Ministry of
Internal Affairs and Communications

If we expand thus our competition
is going to increase

That vice-director you argued with

I hate her

Her name is Masako Fujikawa

The homework lady

Students, have you done your homework

Such a big report

With that big report
I thought I was smart

She disliked it, that was easy

Take a woman to accompany you

Let's introduce her to our staff

- She won't like them
- Wait

Somewhere I met someone
who really looks like her

That girl

Nothing ... not one hiring offer

Well, since that company called

It will work .. I'll get hired .. see you

Really?

What so different between them and me?

What's so different? .. I'm their match

It won't work, I'm not their match

Are you OK?

Amazing

Mr. Odagiri

Good Morning

Chihiro Sawaki

- He remembered?!
- Her name?!

Good morning

Please to my office

It is amazing Ms. Sawaki

I've been working with him for two months

He can remember
neither my face nor my name

"Who may you be?" ... 15th time today

You're the guy who turns odd after 2 beers

Hurray

How much do you want?

I want you for 48 hours ...
how much do you cost?

Don't worry it's not for that

I wouldn't call you for that purpose

You're good at remembering things, right?

Homework

We have a luncheon tomorrow
at the Ministry of Internal Affairs

We need to launch a new project

I want to make a perfect impression
on a vice-director at the Ministry

The fact is, you and her
are very similar

Same academic course, she loves homework

You two girls are going to hit it

Myself I will never get
that close to her

but she's going to like you

It's only for tomorrow?

You thought I was calling you
for an interview?

No

Miss Sawaki is going

Maybe I would get along
very well with you

Don't you think I could be your colleague

What's that?

All right

You worked 3 years in India
for Cloud Service Company

as an excellent chief programmer

What age could you be?

Your face is not that sophisticated,
let's keep that baby face

- I'm 28
- Wow! You look so young
- It's because I have a baby face

60% more to go

As usual, a naked room

Didn't I tell you to buy a table

I managed to find 2 pieces

Six years to chose furniture? Is that so hard?

I can't believe it .. why not
chose what's most inconvenient

buy such satisfactory refrigerator

You're rich, why don't you
ask someone to do it for you

I asked many times

They don't get me

I'm probably the only one
who understands your obsessions

I have a heavy responsibility

But I often let you exploit me

So it goes for your personal file project

You really want to keep us
at the level of cell phone games

No, I would hate it

What amazed people yesterday
leaves them listless today

What was rare yesterday,
is taken for granted today

So .. the next amazing project
is those personal files

In 5 years time, an 80 years old lady

in one click will have access to her pension

This fills me with joy

But to build such perfect system
with the money of the company

We'll need the congress
to adopt a bill for it

If it turns bad we'll be homeless

What? Even you are worried?

'Course not .. you can pull it

It's me working miracles

What we first wrote on the wall

This is where we build our own future

["To us nothing is impossible"]
- But I can't do it, only you can do it

What I meant by "us" was "you" ...
"to you nothing is impossible"

Time to eat?

My sister

I'm sorry, tell her you forgot the key or something

Good evening, I'm Yoko Asahina

All right ... please

What a great man

Thanks .. please

That's how it is to meet him again

It's the first time you meet my sister, right?

She's quite a traveler

Where have you traveled lately

A cook can find her livelihood anywhere in the world

Incredible refrigerator .. it's an industrial one, right?

What makes you so excited, you can't buy those

Some refreshments

You have a restaurant at the 1st floor of the company?

I'm gonna be working there

It just opened, right?

I snatched the chef ... she was becoming famous on the West Coast

It had to buy you from your boss, when did you get so valuable?

I'm not valuable, I'm still learning

I serve the wine?

Sank yuu

There are many foods you don't eat

All these supplement vitamins

My group prices are good I need your patronage

Please come spend some money

Sure, I will contribute

But you can't meet Hyuga too many times

He can't remember faces or names

Is that so?

It's all right ... I remember
Is that so?

It's all right ... I remember

It's perfect! I'm a standard score 75, don't underestimate with me

We'll say it's perfect when our mission is a success

Our challenge is a very able and sophisticated woman

Look at yourself in the mirror

Whichever way I look at you, you're a zero offer job hunter

Let's go

Welcome Mr. Hyuga

We just received the fall-winter collection

Please take your time to look

We need something refined, tasteful, beautiful

Wait a second

Am I requesting something definitely impossible?

Please try it on

It's this way

Thank you very much

It's gonna take some time

Thank you very much

Thank you

Wow! She turned into a princess

She has to represent the high level staff of a world class company

I evening requested that feat, that she'd put a smile on her face

Quick, let's go

Later you can change your shoes?

I'm sorry

You can leave them on the floor

The building itself is great, to each according to their means

Renting a place like this I offend politicians

Whatever ... Here we go

It's too much? You wanna quit?

"To you nothing is impossible"

- You stole my line
- You got me

Please let me introduce Miss Sawaki from our company

Thank you

Vice-director Fujikawa I saw your report for the working group

The opinion poll of the Cabinet Office is truly interesting

The issue that is judged

is to assign to each citizen a reference number

The public is not particularly opposed to it

their concern is misuse of 83% of the data

They should be consulted in a poll about means for privacy safety

Finally, what we're left with is a simple technical implementation

At last a person who can handle a conversation

Technically the system Miss Sawaki has developed

allows your unlimited use, the safety is bulletproof

You will appreciate her system as much as we did

We have come to rely more and more on woman nowadays

Mr. Minister, half of the workforce of Japan consists of women

In any case, security will be the issue

We need the back up of the Ministry of the Economy

Please call the director

We'll have to discuss this many more times

He can't remember

He can't remember people's faces and names

It's a disease

Mr. Masaru Yamawaki Division Director oversees promotion information

You met him last week with the Minister of Economy

You sure need some guts to engage such a national project

Mr. Yamawaki, if you hadn't grasped the purport

this project would never see the light of day

that girl is so unexpected, he can use her

I really feel comfortable setting this up with you Miss Sawaki

- Please come at the briefing next week
- That will be my pleasure

Once the Cloud system is integrated such blunders as

the pension records erased won't be possible

It's partly my fault

I was working at the Social Insurance Agency

It is an extremely difficult task to manage 120 million records

But we'll make it a simple task

Our technology will radically improve people's life

Then my sense of guilt will be erased in its turn

You want to ruin this enterprise?

You had to become self-complacent with that woman or did you want to show off

I know you can do well only what you've been told to do

No one asked you to think or act on your own

That's why I had told you exactly what to say

You .. I've got you perfectly figured out

Keep in mind, you're the type of person we don't need

Hyuga, you're crossing the line

I'm going

You should go rest too, today was intense

You're free to go

Thank you all for those 2 days we worked together

For you Mr. Asahina it's confidential and urgent

It's the new software

That girl

I should praise her a little

You did well, not only on what you were told

You reacted appropriately in response to Hyuga's urgent situation

Thanks to you, we started a new enterprise

- What Really?
- Really

So, it's not a time to make such a face

All right, How about a restaurant?

You haven't had anything

I'm so hungry

You can ask for any food

- Any food?
- You deserve it

You should be rewarded ... but before that

Can I ask you something?

Who are you?

You're not Chihiro Sawaki

It's a pseudonym your real name is ..

Who cares about my name ... he doesn't remember anything anyway

You changed it to get closer to Hyuga?

Who's Sawaki Chihiro?

Why would that name stick to his memory?

How do you know that name?

I needed an investigation on that Chihiro Sawaki

When I'm around her my mind is all messed up

We met 8 yeas ago

Next Innovation will be definitely forbidden to apply to this contract
