Even with some colleagues you may not like,
if you share a mutual goal and communicate well,
I believe it is possible to work smoothly together on projects.
Even with some people you absolutely hate?
Yes
My life motto is: Don't quit and work tenaciously in eveything!
Well...
a different question. Do you have anybody you'd like to meet?
Somebody I'd like to meet?
You can tell me who you respect instead.
A person I respect is...
Mr. Antonio Inoki.
You mean the professional wrestler?
Yes.
I was moved by Mr. Inoki's retirement speech.
Mr. Inoki's speech "Traveling down this road".
What would happen if I travel down this road.

Steve Jobs?
But at the last interview they said
"This year, everyone answers they want to meet Steve Jobs."
We connected well, and the guy who interviewed me was middle-aged
and you know? guys around that age usually love professional wrestling
I wasn't sucking up to him at all!
and I really like that speech..
What? Not by Inoki?
a poem by Ikkyu? the monk? what the...?
Huh? You've read it too? Are you an Inoki fan?
Ah, that's right--I lent it to you, huh...?

sorry, my store manager showed up
I don't wanna see him, so I went to the owner.
I can't deal with the manager, he seriously creeps me out.

I mean, no way.
Declaring love to a high school student when he's in his 40's? Seriously no way!
I mean, something's wrong

Wait up!
Here you forgot this. You forgot this in your locker.
No, not that I forgot it...
Don't worry, I'm not gonna stalk you.
I don't care if you hate me. But not Inoki.
I don't want you to hate Mr. Inoki because of me.
Good luck starting your new life in the spring

What would happen if I travel down this road... Thou shalt not fear.
The road will not be there if you fear,but if you take a step forward, the step will become the road.
By taking a step forward, the step will make the road.
Don't get lost and go ahead, you'll know what I mean.
Thank you!
