00:00The place Tokoro-san won't tell us about at school.
00:06A surprising long-distance school trip.
00:08Why is he going so far away?
00:14To investigate...
00:15Who is it?
00:16Yay! It's Party Teacher Nobuko!
00:19Tokoro-san's best friend.
00:22Is she okay?
00:24After 6pm, they meet near the school in Hadano City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
00:30Good evening.
00:31Good evening!
00:34Are you a long-distance student?
00:37Yes, my name is Shizuki Uchida.
00:39Shizuki-chan?
00:43Are you in school uniform?
00:44Yes.
00:45How old are you?
00:46I'm 16 years old.
00:4716 years old?
00:48Are you really a high school student?
00:50I'm not a high school student.
00:53What do you mean?
00:55Well, I'll find out later.
00:59Shizuki Uchida, 16 years old.
01:02What does it mean that she's not a high school student?
01:08At 6.20pm, they head home.
01:11From Hadano.
01:12How far will they go?
01:16How long does it take to get home?
01:19It's a secret.
01:23It takes about 10 minutes to walk.
01:28Wait, is the train near the station?
01:31It's getting closer.
01:33Not yet?
01:34Just a little more.
01:35Just a little more?
01:36Okay, I'll do my best.
01:38Wait a minute.
01:40It's endless.
01:4115 minutes.
01:45Just a little more.
01:49You said just a little more.
01:51Just a little more.
01:53It's a little different from ours.
01:58It takes about 20 minutes.
02:01We walked a lot.
02:03There's a big building.
02:06This is Hadano Station, which is near the school.
02:10It's Hadano.
02:12I don't think it's near the station anymore.
02:16After walking for 20 minutes,
02:18they arrive at Hadano Station, which is near the school.
02:22From Hadano Station, they can take the Odakyu Line to Shinjuku and Odawara.
02:28Which train is this?
02:30It's the Odawara Express.
02:32Odawara?
02:33Yes, Odawara.
02:34This way?
02:35They get on the Odakyu Line's Odawara Express.
02:39Is it a bullet train?
02:41I think so.
02:42It takes about 20 minutes from Hadano Station.
02:47Odawara?
02:48Yes.
02:49Odawara?
02:50The last stop?
02:52Yes, the last stop.
02:53Do you get off?
02:54Yes, I get off.
02:55I change trains.
02:57It's a private train.
02:58JR Tokaido Line, Izu-Hakone Railway, and Tokaido Shinkansen are on the Odawara Express.
03:08Next, we'll take the Tokaido Line.
03:11Tokaido Line?
03:12We'll take the Tokaido Line.
03:13We'll take the Atami Line.
03:14Atami?
03:15Atami? Really?
03:16Is it in Shizuoka?
03:18At 7.16 pm, they get on the Tokaido Line's Atami Line from Odawara Station.
03:24What are you doing?
03:26I'm studying science at school.
03:29Science?
03:30You're studying while you're moving?
03:32Yes.
03:33It's hard to make a house.
03:35I get tired easily.
03:37So I'm studying in the train.
03:40At first glance, it looks like you're studying in high school.
03:47But you're not a high school student?
03:49I'm not a high school student.
03:51It's really hard.
03:52What are you doing?
03:54I'm going to Yugawara.
03:56Yugawara Station?
03:58It's a dream, isn't it?
03:59Are you going to take a hot spring and go home?
04:01I'm not done yet.
04:02She's going home now.
04:04As soon as they leave Yugawara Station...
04:09We're in Shizuoka Prefecture now.
04:13We've been to many prefectures.
04:17After arriving in Shizuoka Prefecture...
04:22We've arrived at Atami Station.
04:24It's the last stop.
04:26Will we get off at Atami Station?
04:29Yes, we will.
04:30I hope so.
04:32It takes about one hour and 20 minutes to get home.
04:36This is their second stop, Atami Station.
04:40Where are we going next?
04:42We're going to Numazu Station on the same line.
04:46It's like a tourist attraction.
04:48It's like a tourist attraction.
04:50We go sightseeing every day.
04:52That's amazing.
04:53It's like a maze.
04:54They got on the Tokaido Line at Numazu Station.
04:59Atami Station
05:02They walked 20 minutes from their school to the nearest station.
05:08They got on the Tokaido Line at Odakyu Station and arrived at Atami Station.
05:14Now they're going to Numazu Station.
05:17How far will they go?
05:20When you're on the train, do you do anything other than studying?
05:26Yes, I do.
05:27I draw pictures on my smartphone.
05:29Do you draw?
05:30Yes, I do.
05:31Really? I want to see it.
05:32It's a romance novel.
05:33She's drawing a romance novel.
05:34Wait a minute.
05:36The smoke is too handsome.
05:39I want you to draw it, too.
05:40Of course.
05:41Really?
05:42Arimacha
05:43Arimacha
05:44What does Arimacha mean?
05:46It's done.
05:47It's great.
05:50It's cute.
05:51It didn't take five minutes, did it?
05:53I just drew it lightly.
05:54It's great.
05:55It's great.
05:57Is this a drawing school?
05:59That's right.
06:00It's not a drawing school.
06:02Really?
06:04What kind of school is she going to?
06:09Do you get off at Mishima Station?
06:12No, I don't.
06:13Not yet.
06:14Not yet?
06:15Not yet.
06:16Both Odawara and Atami?
06:18Yes.
06:19You take the Shinkansen, don't you?
06:21Yes, I take the Shinkansen.
06:22Don't you get on it?
06:23No, I don't.
06:24It costs a lot of money.
06:26It's expensive.
06:27I don't like it.
06:30It takes about 20 minutes from Atami Station.
06:35It's Numazu.
06:37It's the last stop.
06:39I'll get off.
06:40It's the last stop for the third time.
06:43She arrived at Numazu Station, the last stop for the third time today.
06:48It's the last stop for the third time today.
06:51I'll get off and get on again.
06:53Really?
06:55I'll get on at Toyohashi Station on the same line.
06:59It's already been two hours since she got home.
07:02How far will she go?
07:07Do you get off at Mishima Station?
07:10I'll get off here.
07:12She's here.
07:14She's here.
07:16If you get off here,
07:18does that mean this is Moyori Station?
07:21Yes, this is Moyori Station.
07:23She's finally here.
07:26It takes about two hours and ten minutes to get to Moyori Station.
07:34How much is the regular fare?
07:41It's 92,020 yen.
07:43It's expensive.
07:45It's expensive.
07:47The regular fare is 92,020 yen for six months.
07:52Her parents pay for everything.
07:57From here...
08:00I'll get on this and go home.
08:02My mother picks me up every day.
08:05Good evening.
08:06It's me.
08:07Excuse me.
08:09There aren't many buses from her home to Yoshiwara Station,
08:13so she has to pick her up every day.
08:16That's tough.
08:19Do you have a job?
08:22I do.
08:23I work full-time.
08:25Really?
08:26You work, you take care of the house, and you pick her up?
08:31That's right.
08:32Wait a minute.
08:34That's amazing.
08:35Your mother is a strong woman.
08:38How long will it take to get home?
08:42It'll take a little longer.
08:44It's not a little longer.
08:48I see.
08:51It's a car.
08:52It's pretty fast.
08:54It's near Mt. Fuji.
08:57It's near Mt. Fuji.
08:59Is it near Mt. Fuji?
09:01Yes.
09:02Really?
09:03I can't see anything.
09:05By the way, it's bright outside.
09:08I want to see it.
09:09As you can see, the view is amazing.
09:12It's beautiful.
09:14It takes about 30 minutes to get to the station.
09:18It takes 30 minutes?
09:20We're here.
09:21We're here.
09:22We did it.
09:25At 9 p.m., they finally arrive at home.
09:28It's an hour's walk.
09:29An hour's walk.
09:30They walk for 20 minutes from school to Hadano Station.
09:33Then, they take the Odakyu Line to Odawara Station.
09:37Then, they take the Tokaido Line to Atami Station.
09:40Then, they take the Nugazu Station to Yoshiwara Station.
09:45Then, it takes 30 minutes by car.
09:49It takes about 2 hours and 40 minutes on one way.
09:52It takes 5 hours and 20 minutes on the round trip.
09:56We're home.
09:59Thank you for having us.
10:03Good evening.
10:04Thank you for having us.
10:06Is she your grandmother?
10:08Wait a minute.
10:09You have the same hair color.
10:11You're right.
10:13His father is single.
10:15Mr. Uchida lives with his mother, his grandmother, and his third-year high school sister.
10:20I see.
10:23After coming home, they always have dinner prepared by his grandmother.
10:27It looks delicious.
10:29Do you usually eat alone?
10:31Yes, I do.
10:33I come home late, so I eat alone.
10:36But my grandmother is always next to me.
10:39We talk and eat together.
10:42So, I don't feel lonely.
10:44That's great.
10:45That's nice.
10:46Mr. Uchida's daily routine is to eat dinner with his grandmother
10:51and talk about what happened that day.
10:56How did you feel when you said you wanted to go to your current school?
11:01I used to go to a middle school and a high school.
11:05I see.
11:06That's true.
11:08I thought I would go to a middle school and a high school.
11:15But I wanted to support my dream.
11:21Mr. Uchida used to go to a middle school and a high school.
11:26He quit school for a dream when he was a freshman in high school
11:30and started to go to a long-distance school.
11:33I wonder what it is.
11:35He has a strong will.
11:39I see.
11:40I want to support him if he can do his best.
11:44It's fun and fulfilling.
11:48I feel like I'm growing.
11:54I think I can do it if I were him.
12:00You're 16 years old.
12:03That's great.
12:04I can't say that now.
12:07What kind of school does Mr. Uchida go to?
12:13I wonder what it is.
12:15You're early.
12:19Good morning.
12:22You're early.
12:24You're already ready.
12:26She got a lunch box that her mother made for her at 5 a.m.
12:30and rice balls for breakfast.
12:35That's great.
12:37She left home at 6.10 a.m.
12:41She ate rice balls for breakfast and took a car to Yoshiwara Station.
12:47She took Tokaido Line and Akiu Line.
12:51It took her about two hours to get to Hadano Station.
12:56It took 20 minutes on foot from the station.
12:59It's far.
13:01Do you do this every day?
13:03Yes, I do.
13:04Wow.
13:05Are we there yet?
13:07We're almost there.
13:10Really?
13:11Yes.
13:12I'm tired.
13:14What kind of school does Mr. Uchida go to to make his dream come true?
13:22I can hear a voice.
13:29Shizuki is there.
13:32What is she doing?
13:34Is she washing her hair?
13:37That's what Mr. Uchida is learning.
13:41What kind of school is this?
13:44This is a special school for becoming a hairdresser.
13:48I see.
13:50Mr. Uchida goes to AIM Shonan Riyo Beauty School.
13:58However, Shizuoka also has a special school for hairdressers.
14:05You can get a high school diploma and a hairdresser's license here.
14:11That's great.
14:12So I came here.
14:14This is the first school in Japan to introduce a system where you can get a high school diploma and a hairdresser's license.
14:25Therefore, classes in general subjects such as English and science are held here.
14:30You can get a high school diploma and a hairdresser's license here.
14:37I want to reduce the burden on my parents.
14:41That's why I came here.
14:46That's great.
14:48A 30-year-old gal will cry.
14:51Really?
14:52Can you think of such a thing?
14:54In fact, there is a reason why Mr. Uchida chose this school.
14:59When I was a junior high school student, I saw a senior in this school doing long-distance learning.
15:08I wanted to go there.
15:12If I hadn't seen this program, I wouldn't have been here.
15:18My fate has changed.
15:21That's great.
15:23In order to realize his dream of becoming a hairdresser, Mr. Uchida continues to do long-distance learning today.
15:31When I watch the program, a girl's life changes.
15:35I thought I could do this, too.
