WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.871 [COSTCO SUBS PRESENTS] 00:00:03.871 --> 00:00:09.994 [Interview with a new member] 00:00:10.369 --> 00:00:12.111 My name is Kaori Watanabe. 00:00:12.111 --> 00:00:13.556 I'm an illustrator. 00:00:13.667 --> 00:00:15.732 I'm 28 now. 00:00:15.830 --> 00:00:19.808 [WORKING AS AN ILLUSTRATOR] My work is mostly fashion-related, 00:00:19.808 --> 00:00:21.752 so I mainly draw people 00:00:21.909 --> 00:00:27.925 and also clothing, of course, like fashion projects and such. 00:00:28.064 --> 00:00:30.128 I do illustrations for magazines, 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.590 I go to events and draw portraits, 00:00:33.710 --> 00:00:37.902 and I also collaborate with brands. 00:00:38.101 --> 00:00:40.237 [YOUR WAY TO BECOMING AN ILLUSTRATOR] When I was an employee at a company, 00:00:40.237 --> 00:00:42.381 I used to draw on the side 00:00:42.498 --> 00:00:44.103 and share my drawings on social media. 00:00:44.103 --> 00:00:46.560 I gradually started getting job offers 00:00:46.676 --> 00:00:50.153 and before I knew it I'd become an illustrator. 00:00:50.153 --> 00:00:54.124 When you have a second job, you have stability, 00:00:54.124 --> 00:00:57.634 but you can still do what you like to do. I was glad I could do both, but... 00:00:57.634 --> 00:01:03.242 I just wanted people to know that I was being serious about it. 00:01:03.365 --> 00:01:07.321 I didn't want them to think that I'm just doing it on the side. 00:01:07.321 --> 00:01:11.897 I wanted to focus 100% on my work as an illustrator 00:01:11.897 --> 00:01:15.840 and let people know that this is what I want to do. 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.256 I gradually came to think like this and got more motivated. 00:01:19.414 --> 00:01:22.926 And when my work as an illustrator started paying me enough to get by, 00:01:23.141 --> 00:01:24.904 I decided to become independent. 00:01:24.904 --> 00:01:27.637 [YOUR REASON FOR MOVING INTO TH] For me to be starting out now 00:01:27.637 --> 00:01:29.874 as an illustrator is pretty late, 00:01:29.874 --> 00:01:33.361 which is because I'd been working at a company before that. 00:01:33.361 --> 00:01:34.701 I'm 28 now. 00:01:35.021 --> 00:01:37.982 Most people I know are getting married and having kids, 00:01:37.982 --> 00:01:39.553 and they've all settled down. 00:01:39.553 --> 00:01:43.119 Part of me really admires that, but... 00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:46.232 I still want to give it my best for a while, 00:01:46.232 --> 00:01:48.883 but at the same time I've been telling myself that it may be too late for that. 00:01:48.883 --> 00:01:50.173 That's when I thought... 00:01:50.173 --> 00:01:55.245 Terrace House is a show where people who have dreams and goals all live together 00:01:55.374 --> 00:01:58.726 And I wanted to put myself in a place like that. 00:01:59.238 --> 00:02:02.437 [ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE] I was in a relationship until the end of last year. 00:02:02.589 --> 00:02:03.951 I've gradually gotten over him. 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:06.103 But up until then... 00:02:06.103 --> 00:02:08.756 I've always had goals like "I want to study abroad" or 00:02:08.756 --> 00:02:12.603 "I want to go to this university" 00:02:12.747 --> 00:02:19.115 I thought that if I got a boyfriend, I'd probably get lazy. 00:02:19.238 --> 00:02:22.770 Well, I'd go on dates and there were some people I was interested in, but... 00:02:22.921 --> 00:02:27.239 I've only had two relationships. One when I was at university 00:02:27.342 --> 00:02:28.930 and the other after I'd started working at my company 00:02:28.930 --> 00:02:32.990 and shortly before I started doing freelance work. 00:02:33.094 --> 00:02:34.773 I went out for quite some time with both of them. 00:02:35.055 --> 00:02:36.847 [WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE] I have two patterns. 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.993 One is, I'll fall in love instantly 00:02:40.153 --> 00:02:44.071 and I can't see anything and I can't think about anything except that person. 00:02:44.071 --> 00:02:46.091 Which is pretty crazy, kind of dangerous. 00:02:46.153 --> 00:02:49.342 The other one is, while chatting I kind of start thinking, 00:02:49.342 --> 00:02:53.238 "I may really like this guy..." 00:02:53.408 --> 00:02:54.970 Those are my two patterns. 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:57.730 But either way there are times when I can't think straight anymore. 00:02:57.730 --> 00:02:58.937 Which isn't good. 00:02:59.985 --> 00:03:02.236 [WHAT'S YOUR TYPE?] I usually don't start liking someone 00:03:02.236 --> 00:03:04.073 because of their looks. 00:03:05.001 --> 00:03:07.121 But of course I like good-looking guys. 00:03:07.767 --> 00:03:11.172 I do like people who do creative work. 00:03:12.622 --> 00:03:14.277 But... You know... 00:03:14.517 --> 00:03:16.660 It's great if they're trustworthy, too. 00:03:17.482 --> 00:03:21.057 If I think about what kind of people I've been interested in so far... 00:03:21.232 --> 00:03:25.775 I think most guys who were in sports clubs at school are good guys. 00:03:25.778 --> 00:03:28.605 Whether it was friends of mine or someone I liked, 00:03:28.605 --> 00:03:30.801 I've always had a good impression of them. 00:03:30.801 --> 00:03:32.633 I really like people like that. 00:03:32.992 --> 00:03:34.671 I like the jock types. 00:03:36.568 --> 00:03:41.321 [Translated & Timed by MrsChap] [Reviewed by koma]
