Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.25,0:02:20.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So my adventures continued\Ninto my university days.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.79,0:02:26.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One day I said to my friend,\N"Shall we ride the whole length of Japan?"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.29,0:02:29.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But he replied in a shocked voice\Nsaying, "Ohhhhh!"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.96,0:02:34.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The length of Japan sounds pretty far,\Nso his reaction was to be expected.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.25,0:02:37.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I always thought that if we talked about\Nan adventure we would go.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.71,0:02:39.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was really excited.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.71,0:02:46.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then my friend responded, "So I won't go."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.58,0:02:49.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"What?" I thought to myself.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.92,0:02:52.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I believed that if I said\Nthe first and last words
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.50,0:02:54.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then an adventure would follow.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.02,0:02:55.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"What the heck?" I thought
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.63,0:03:00.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but then I guess the length of Japan\Nreally is a long way, even for my friend.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.38,0:03:03.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, I was so excited\Nand really wanted to go
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.67,0:03:07.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I would have to undertake the\Nadventure alone or not at all.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.96,0:03:13.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At that time, traveling across Japan\Nseemed like a large wall in front of me.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.12,0:03:18.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wondered what I should do\Nso I sought advice
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.83,0:03:20.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from my university senior.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.38,0:03:24.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then he said, "Noguchi,\Nyou always go on adventures together
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.17,0:03:29.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but going alone will be a great chance\Nto break out of your shell."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.13,0:03:31.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Even though I agreed with what he said,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.42,0:03:33.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had always left it up to my friends.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.63,0:03:35.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I didn't believe I could do it by myself.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.50,0:03:43.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Despite my feelings of excitement\NI gave up on the idea of going
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.67,0:03:46.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,until I recalled my father's words.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.46,0:03:48.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He would often say to me,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.21,0:03:53.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Masayuki, if you live your life,\Nsomehow things will work out!"
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.13,0:03:55.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He would often say vague words like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.88,0:03:58.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Somehow things will be OK."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.79,0:04:02.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Those words have got me\Nthrough a few times in my life.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.00,0:04:05.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They suddenly came\Nto my mind at that time.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.84,0:04:11.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I thought that whatever happens\Nthings will work out.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.75,0:04:15.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And believing this I made\Nmy decision to go alone.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.54,0:04:20.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I set off on my journey\Nalong the length of whole Japan.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.83,0:04:25.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was my first time traveling alone,\Nmy first solo adventure.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.63,0:04:29.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is what I looked like.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.33,0:04:31.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.04,0:04:34.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Being somewhat reckless I set off\Non my scooter in winter.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.50,0:04:37.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.12,0:04:39.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,On my first day, without being\Nable to read a map,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.75,0:04:44.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I set off on my scooter in winter.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.50,0:04:49.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not being able to use read the map,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.33,0:04:54.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I rode 300 km from Kanoya City\Nto Beppu City in Oita Prefecture.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.50,0:04:59.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not using the map, I asked people for\Ndirections and somehow I got there.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.88,0:05:04.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When I arrived, I looked for\Nsomewhere to stay but couldn't.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.33,0:05:07.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I made the impulsive decision\Nto pitch my tent and sleep in a park.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.08,0:05:15.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I fell asleep fearful,\Nbut on the second day, when I woke up,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.58,0:05:18.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought to myself\Nthat I am surprisingly still alive.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.28,0:05:20.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Somehow it worked out OK.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.12,0:05:25.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At that time the large wall disappeared
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.50,0:05:27.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a realistic wall appeared\Nin front of me.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.94,0:05:30.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I felt like I had reached\Nthe top of the wall with my hand
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.83,0:05:35.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and after that things would go\Nwithout a hitch.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.08,0:05:40.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I started to understand the map, I could\Nbuy tickets and find places to stay.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.92,0:05:42.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I achieved my traveling across Japan.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.84,0:05:46.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I overcame the wall.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.33,0:05:51.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As I turned round\Nto look back at the wall,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.50,0:05:57.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was not the large wall\NI had imagined but a small wall.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.67,0:06:02.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By overcoming obstacles in this way,\NI was prepared to take on challenges.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.02,0:06:06.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Next I went alone to Canada to study.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.79,0:06:11.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Studying abroad in Canada was\Nthe largest wall for me.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.33,0:06:15.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Furthermore, it was at exactly\Nthe same time as my university's exams.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.51,0:06:21.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Normally students would give priority\Nto their tests and delay going abroad.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.21,0:06:24.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, I once again believed\Nthat somehow it would work out.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:24.21,0:06:27.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I directly appealed to all professors\Nfor supplementary exams
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.92,0:06:32.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and somehow, all of them\Nagreed to my request.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.04,0:06:35.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I was also able to achieve\Nmy goal of studying in Canada.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.04,0:06:38.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Once more, the wall which once seemed\Nso large disappeared.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:38.23,0:06:40.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This time I felt like I jumped over it.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.96,0:06:48.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Looking back again at the wall,\Nit was actually very small.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.00,0:06:51.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This prepared me for my next challenge.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:39.54,0:07:41.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think I'll be able to climb over it.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:42.12,0:07:47.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,After I am over the top and I look back,\NI'm sure it won't look so big
Dialogue: 0,0:07:47.50,0:07:51.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and again I'll probably think\Nit was actually quite small.
