《(Mikami) Big brother》
《Big brother》
《Please, stop it already.》
《(Kota) What are you talking about?》
《Things like the petition》
《Why?》
《A friend told me.》
《"Your brother has been acting strange lately," they said》
《"Your brother has been acting strange lately," they said》
《(Distant thunder)》
《I feel sorry for causing Takashi》
《to worry like this.》
《But》
《If I don't do it》
《I'll stop being myself.》
《(Door opens)》
《(Door opens)》
《Oh? Takashi-kun, you were here.》
《Ah y-yeah.》
《What's wrong? Is the atmosphere awkward?》
《Oh, is this for the lunchtime broadcast?》
《I made a list of songs》
《to play during lunch break. Try listening to it.》
《(Kota) Yeah oh, oh, oh》
《It's good, isn't it?》 《Right?》
《(Kota) Yeah.》 《What about the order?》
《(Breaking sound)》
(Operating sound)
(Kanzaki) Um if you're here for a visit, it's this way.
No that's not it.
Person number 86.
Person number 86.
Yes.
They will not be having a visit today.
Please return your visitation slip.
(Miyazawa) That's why I'm against it! (Fuyuki) Huh? Why?
(Miyazawa) Isn't it weird? Financial products? (Tokumori) Hey, now
(Jigen) Huh? What's the argument about?
(Miyazawa) Well, um
(Tokumori) It's this.
Ah eh!?
You're entering the Kahou Foundation business contest?
(Tokumori) Yes. (Jigen) This high school business contest is
the biggest in Japan, right? That's right.
the biggest in Japan, right? That's right.
We're aiming to reach the finals, which is our long-cherished dream.
(Miyazawa) But Fuyuki started saying whatever she wanted.
Suddenly she said, "Let's make it a financial product!" (Fuyuki) We're entering so we can
get a waiver for the first round of the AO entrance exam, right?
If we don't go that far, there's no point!
I'm sorry, but you definitely won't win with that. Don't get involved.
I want to hear the reason! Sensei, the reason!
Have you looked at the past winning schools for that business contest? Didn't you think it was strange?
It's definitely biased.
Could it be adults' consideration?
The relationship between the Kahou Foundation and the government is well, I guess you don't know.
The relationship between the Kahou Foundation and the government is well, I guess you don't know.
I've heard of it. Their collusion is awful.
Even so, if we come up with an overwhelming idea
a miracle might happen. Of course, we're proceeding with that intention.
What about Fuyuki-kun?
It's this.
"A principal-protected fund where high school students can safely learn about investing."
And Miyazawa-kun?
I want to come up with a product development plan
that takes social contribution into consideration. Specifically?
During summer vacation, I visited a waste disposal company that's mindful of SDGs and
During summer vacation, I visited a waste disposal company that's mindful of SDGs and
a company that makes custom-made shoes for the elderly
but I didn't get much of an idea.
but the ideas
I see.
So Fuyuki-kun wants to create a financial product for high school students, and
Miyazawa-kun wants to develop a product
that is useful to society. Is that right?
Wakui-kun, what do you think?
(Wakui) They're both not great, are they?
Huh? Huh? Why? Wakui-kun!
Huh? Huh? Why? Wakui-kun!
Please explain the reason.
First, about Fuyuki's idea
a principal-protected fund is impossible.
Huh? Huh? But Fuyuki-kun said
it's the most popular financial product right now
That's a financial product that can be created by investing
in high-risk, high-return overseas hedge funds.
W-well, of course, we have to rethink the investment ratio, but
(Wakui) Did you properly read the fund's explanation?
It's not something amateur high school students can do anything about.
(Tokumori) Yes, um, Wakui-sensei
I understood almost nothing of what you were saying!
I understood almost nothing of what you were saying!
We have people like this on the team, too. I'm sorry.
See? That's why it's impossible.
In the first place, it's a high school business contest.
Product development that benefits society is the safe bet.
(Wakui) But Miyazawa doesn't have any concrete ideas, so
it's not even worth talking about, is it?
(Sakurai) Um Aren't you going to start class?
Oh, sorry, sorry. Let's get started.
Okay, take your seats. Yes.
Today

Page 193.
(Tominaga) Hey, hey, hey, hey um, about that thing earlier
Can't we combine them?
Huh? Combine?
Social contribution and finance? Huh? That's impossible, right?
You always immediately say "impossible." You're so inflexible, Miyazawa.
Hey, hey, hey can I help?
You're always sticking your nose into everything.
No, I appreciate Tominaga-san's energy!
No, I appreciate Tominaga-san's energy!
I'd definitely like your help. Leave it to me!
Yes! What should we do?
(Chigira) Shiiba, let's eat lunch on the roof.
(Shiiba) Okay. Alright, let's go.
(Isshiki) Shiiba-san from Sensei's class has been having health problems since spring
and comes to school every day, but
(Isshiki) Um her periods seem to be quite rough.
Periods?
Yes, it's been like this for a while now.
Yes, it's been like this for a while now.
I thought it would be best to let you know.
I understand. Thank you.
Thank you for your help.
(Koreeda) How about Yuzuru-san?
I went to the detention center several times during summer vacation, but
they wouldn't let me visit.
I see
That's why I'm sending letters.
Hopefully, you'll get a reply.
Yes
I'm home.
(Chie) Takuto.
A letter came for you.
You shouldn't tell your father.
Thank you.
(Nakaoka) I've heard about the cultural festival.
(Nakaoka) I've heard about the cultural festival.
(Makino) When you asked whether textbook screening is necessary or not, I thought
it was the end of Makino Kyosuke.
Is it that bad?
(Makino) If we're going to get scolded from Nagata-cho, it's usually about things like that.
It's usually about that type of thing.
I heard the students ran wild, is that right? That's right.
But I happened to pick this up.
(Makino) When they were changing the exhibits
"Plan Okami" was written on it.
"Plan Okami" was written on it.
So that means Mikami made them do it, right?
That might be useful in a pinch.
That's right.
(Kodai) This is the conditional future, so here
Ah oh maybe there was something like that.
For this kind of thing it's faster to think about it in English.
but yeah.
I understand.
(Knock)
Excuse me. Ah, Mr. Mikami.
That student I think ah, they're in the first year, but
That student I think ah, they're in the first year, but
they've stopped coming to school.
They said they can attend school if they go to the chairman's office
so we're having them come here. Oh, really?
Even a kid who comes to a high school like ours
things like that happen.
Education is not so simple.
Ah, please come this way. Excuse me. Ah
Um what did you want to talk about? Ah, well, it's about
the Kahou Foundation's business contest.
the Kahou Foundation's business contest.
Winning that contest is our long-cherished dream.
So I want them to try their best to their hearts' content.
However um
the theme
I want you to guide them well.
The theme? Because of the cultural festival
if it's too provocative
we'll get another scolding from Kasumigaseki. Well
A person from a think tank
under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet Office is on the judging panel for that contest.
In other words, depending on the content, we might get scolded from Nagata-cho as well.
I want to value the students' autonomy, but
I understand. I'll keep it in mind.
(Kodai) Thank you for your help.
(Chime)
Okay, class is over. Thank you.
Koreeda-sensei, do you invest?
Huh? What's this all of a sudden?
Huh? What's this all of a sudden?
Team Miyazawa is entering the business contest. Ah yeah, I know.
Are you going to submit a plan related to investment? Yes, a plan that connects financial products and social contribution.
to connect financial products and social contribution.
I can come up with any number of ways
to contribute to society with the money we earn, but
I can't think of any ideas to earn money in a way that helps society.
Do you have any ideas?
Well, do I look like the type of
person who invests?
Huh? What about retirement funds?
Safe and steady in a fixed deposit.
Safe and steady in a fixed deposit.
Ah, no, no, no. That's completely useless.
Since it's a good opportunity, let's have her tell us.
Yes!
If you put 1 million yen in a bank
how many years will it take to double?
Huh? I have no idea at all.
There's something called the Rule of 72.
Huh? The Rule of 72? Yes.
(Miyazawa) The Rule of 72
Even the banks with high interest rates for fixed deposits right now
are only around 0.5% annual interest. And?
are only around 0.5% annual interest. And?
The number of years it takes for the principal to double
can be calculated by dividing 72 by the interest rate.
So, if you divide 72 by 0.5
it comes out to 144 years!
Huh? Really!?
And even at major banks, right now it's about
0.125% annual interest.
72 ÷ 0.125 576 years!
Whoa, that's impossible.
Ah uh, Sensei wait, when did this become about the business contest?
Ah uh, Sensei wait, when did this become about the business contest?
Did you come up with some miraculous idea?
Koreeda-sensei, please give me a break.
Um anything related to finance is really impossible for me.
But I heard your family is quite good at making money.
That's why I have an allergy to it.
That's it! Huh?
The reason for your allergy to money!
I want to hear it. Definitely.
Well I'm not useful at all. (Tominaga) It's the people who aren't useful that are
the most useful! Um
That's harsh Can I talk to you for a bit?
Of course. Please.
Of course. Please.
Not here
(Miyazawa) Well, we need to come up with a plan that's appealing
even to people like Sensei who are resistant to investing.
They said they'll meet if Okami is with you.
Aren't visits only allowed on weekdays?
Next week is Foundation Day. It's a holiday, right?
Ah, that's right
I don't want to lower my head to you, but
I absolutely have to meet them, so
I understand.
Thank you for your help.
(Announcement) General visitation, 2nd floor area, number 16
please go up to the 2nd floor tower.
(Yuzuru) Hey, is this kid Kanzaki-kun?
Yes, I am.
If there's something you want to say, it'll only take 3 seconds.
Don't ever get involved in my life again.
Why didn't you kill me?
(Yuzuru) Huh?
(Yuzuru) Huh?
I was the one who destroyed your family. Not him.
(Yuzuru) Because I didn't know.
Huh?
Until your letter came
I didn't know anything about your newspaper.
Saejima-sensei
didn't tell Yuzuru-san about this newspaper.
That's right, isn't it?
That's right, isn't it?
《(Takamasa) Why with a guy like that!?》 《(Yuko) I'm sorry.》
《(Sound of something breaking)》 《(Takamasa) Get out!》
《(Yuko) Please let me talk to Yuzuru!》
《(Sound of being hit and falling)》 《(Takamasa) There's no need to talk!》
《(Yuko) With Yuzuru Let me talk to Yuzuru!》
(Kanzaki) If the reason you did that wasn't because of me
was your goal revenge against your father?
No way
No way
(Kanzaki) Because that's how it was for me.
Huh?
To spite my father, a newspaper reporter
I scooped the scandal about Saejima-sensei.
(Yuzuru) That's why I'm telling you it has nothing to do with your lame newspaper!
I'm telling you it has nothing to do with your lame newspaper!
But it was hard, right? Huh?
But it was hard, right? Huh?
Betrayed by the only mother you trusted
and in a house where your mother was gone
you were constantly berated by your father.
Shut up
Considering his nature, there might have been violence.
So what? There's no way it wasn't hard.
You're so annoying! Shut up!
Kanako Shibuya-san
Do you understand?
I went to see her.
Kanako Shibuya?
She told me to "tell you this."
I don't need it!
(Kanzaki) "If I were asked who I hate the most right now"
"I would undoubtedly answer Mayama Yuzuru."
"In a room without my son, I only wish for your maximum sentence."
"I am alive, but I am dead."
"So, I thought there was nothing I wanted to say to you."
"I thought there was nothing."
"I just wished you would disappear."
"I just wished you would disappear."
"But when I was asked if there was anything I wanted to say to Kanzaki-kun"
"I realized there was something I absolutely had to convey."
"I realized there was something."
"When I learned about the circumstances"
"you had lived in through newspapers and television"
"I felt like I understood why you"
"had done something like that."
"had done something like that."
"I felt like I understood."
《(Kanako) I hope you pass.》
《(Shibuya) Thank you. I'm off.》
(Kanzaki) "The place where you were"
《(Kanako) Do your best.》
(Kanzaki) "was very similar to the place where Yusuke and I had run away from."
"Because it was very similar."
Stop it
(Kanzaki) "Yuzuru-san"
"on the back of the person you killed, there was a cigarette burn"
"that his father had inflicted."
"That is something I absolutely"
"wanted to tell you."
"And as I was writing this letter"
"And as I was writing this letter"
"I can't help but think about why you became the way you are."
"I can't help but think about it."
"I don't want to think about it."
"But I can't help but think about it."
I told you to stop! Can't you hear me!?
(Kanzaki) "Probably"
"from now on forever"
"Kanako Shibuya."
This person is thinking.
Is continuing to think.
That's why
there's no way we can stop.
So high and mighty.
You brat!
I'm not great
I'm telling you, you and I are both guilty!
In a certain movie
a luxury hotel is occupied by young terrorists
and the guests are killed one after another.
But amidst that massacre
one of the terrorist youths
eats the leftover pizza that a guest left behind.
Probably it's the first pizza he's ever eaten.
Probably it's the first pizza he's ever eaten.
He starts laughing innocently at how incredibly delicious it is.
In front of the corpses he massacred
The really bad guys
are definitely not in that hotel.
What's there are
a poor boy who's never eaten pizza
a poor boy who's never eaten pizza
and ordinary customers who happened to be visiting for sightseeing
and have just a little more money than other people.
The really bad guys
are telling us they're not here either, right?
But
if I don't think it's my responsibility
I can't move forward.
Me
and Yuzuru-san
(Kanzaki) Yuzuru-san
(Kanzaki) Yuzuru-san
(Kanzaki) Do you really think
Saejima-sensei was really having an affair?
I believe it.
The person I knew
wouldn't do something like that.
(Tokumori) I can't find anything like a clear disadvantage, though.
(Tokumori) I can't find anything like a clear disadvantage, though.
(Miyazawa) This is bad! We have to submit the document entry!
(Tokumori) I think we've already written a flow that's feasible enough.
(Tokumori) I think we've already written a flow that's feasible enough.
(Fuyuki) No, it's no good! We'll get rejected based on the documents if we leave it like this.
Ah! Hey, Kurayoshi, in America
you study investment, right? Do you have any good ideas?
(Kurayoshi) They make you study from the basics, but
what we're actually doing is just
"Let's do proper research," stuff like that.
(Tominaga) Hmm I see
But you know I think what everyone's trying to create is really good.
But you know I think what everyone's trying to create is really good.
But you know I think what everyone's trying to create is really good.
Huh? Huh? What's good about it? Please tell me!
In Europe and America, if a company that's putting money into forest protection is
making products that cause air pollution
they get told it's no good because it's a contradiction.
But what you guys want to do is generate profit
while also contributing to society, right?
Yes. Hmm, I think that's really the right approach.
Whoa! What should we do to have everyone win?
Why don't you try borrowing everyone's wisdom?
Why don't you try borrowing everyone's wisdom?
(Tokumori) Huh? Since we're here, Koreeda-sensei,
why don't you try facilitating it?
I'd like to try it.
Is that okay?
I realized something while talking to everyone the other day.
That we're the ones who are turning this into money.
Because this is just paper, isn't it?
The reason you can buy things with something made of paper is
because you believe that the promise that it can be used as money again
will be kept. That's what I realized.
Until now, I had always
believed that money was something dirty.
But
But
When I thought of it as the embodiment of trust,
I thought, wow, money and humans are amazing!
What is it that the business contest team wants to do now?
Fuyuki-kun? Huh? Me?
Because it's an idea that started with Fuyuki-kun, right?
Everyone wants to hear it, right?
My father was at a foreign investment bank,
in the very center of the money game.
(Shinonome) Why the past tense?
(Fuyuki) Ah you know about the Lehman Shock, right?
(Shinonome) Ah
He suffered a big loss because of that
and the Japanese branch itself disappeared.
Could you tell me what the Lehman Shock is?
In the early 2000s, America
was in a housing boom.
Subprime people who wouldn't normally be able to buy homes,
meaning people with low repayment ability
Even those low-income people
Even those low-income people
could get housing loans
if they paid a higher interest rate than normal.
That's what's called a subprime loan, but
Since real estate prices were soaring, even if they couldn't repay the loan,
they could sell the house and repay it, right?
Investors saw an opportunity there.
(Enomoto) Huh? What does that mean?
Ah in other words, they turned the subprime loans themselves
into investment products. The interest rate paid by the borrowers
became the investors' return. That was the structure, but
it became known as an investment product that would absolutely never lose money,
it became known as an investment product that would absolutely never lose money,
and the market just kept growing and growing.
(Anzai) I see. (Fuyuki) But then,
the housing bubble burst and people couldn't sell their houses anymore.
So, Lehman Brothers, which had made huge investments in funds that incorporated subprime loans,
their performance deteriorated and they went bankrupt.
And in a chain reaction, the global financial market cooled down.
(Anzai)
That's the Lehman shock, huh?
(Shiiba) Using the dreams of low-income people who want to own a home,
to try to make money that's the worst.
To try to make money that's the worst.
(Fuyuki) My father used to say that too.
"Finance has forgotten its original mission."
My father regretted becoming a living witness to that.
→
If we could make a good financial product,→
he said, "I'd definitely want to help."
To make my father's wish come true,
I thought I wanted to make a financial product.
Why did you keep such an amazing thing a secret?
Huh rather, why would I say it?
(Tokumori) It's important!
Look, look at Miyazawa's face!
Huh? You were moved, right?→
You were super moved just now by Fuyuki's story, right?
(Miyazawa) Shut up, Tokumori! Be quiet!
I don't know about the time of the Lehman shock.
I was just a baby then.
I don't know about the time of the Lehman shock.
I was just a baby then.
So
During summer vacation, when I said, "I want to go into finance in the future,"
that's the first time he told me about it.
So
At first, in order to win the business contest,
I thought if we could incorporate welfare and social contribution,
it would be advantageous.
But it's different now.
it would be advantageous.
But it's different now.
(Miyazawa) I realized that that way of thinking itself was shallow.
It's something you work on for a lifetime,
but to use it for AO entrance exam preparation
In the end, isn't it just that your own profits are important?
After hearing Fuyuki's story,
I want to create a financial product
to design the ideal society that we envision.
I want to create a financial product.
It's clear now.
Please lend me your ideas!
Please!
(Kanzaki) Miyazawa,
you said the answer at the beginning, didn't you?
(Miyazawa) Huh?
You went to see it during summer vacation, didn't you?
You went to see it during summer vacation, didn't you?
Ah
The waste disposal company that realized a recyclable garbage system, or
And custom-made shoes for the elderly!
(Tominaga) I see
You mean we should think about where to invest!
That's true.
Instead of just allocating a portion of the return to social contribution,
the financial product itself can contribute to society.
The financial product itself can contribute to society.
In other words, that's
what it might mean to design society.
We can figure out the rest ourselves, right?
Huh isn't Kanzaki starting to resemble Okami?
Yeah Huh? Shut up.
(Tominaga) Wait, wait.→
I might have got it! What?
Ready, set, send!
Ready, set, send!
Oh! Alright!
Yay! Yay yay yay!
Let's go, let's go no, it's fine, it's fine.
(Miyazawa) Everyone! Everyone!
Umm
High School Business Project Competition
We've successfully made it to the final judging!
Oh! (Miyazawa) This is actually pretty amazing.→
It's our school's first achievement.
(Tokumori) The final presentation is this Saturday.→
(Tokumori) The final presentation is this Saturday.→
It's open to the public, so the audience's applause is important.→
Please come and join us!
Thank you for your support!
Thank you for your support.
Thank you!
You're coming next Saturday, aren't you?
(Mizobata) Huh? Could it be that the director is also? (Kodai) That business contest is
different from other business contests.
It will raise our school's reputation in leaps and bounds.
We have to show that we are not just a school for exams
show that.
show that.
We definitely want to make it ours.
(Tsubuki) Makino-san, are you going to this? (Makino) Huh? You too, Tsubuki?
Tsukada is terrified
that he might offend Nagatacho.
(Tsubuki) Well
He's worried that Team Ogami might make an announcement that objects to the government.
Tsukada-san is wary.
That's right. If we did something like that,
it would be leaked directly to the Cabinet Bureau of Personnel Affairs,
it would be leaked directly to the Cabinet Bureau of Personnel Affairs,
and it would have a huge impact on the next administrative vice-minister appointment.
That's right. Tsukada as administrative vice-minister
Dark clouds are looming over the countdown to Tsukada's birth as the Administrative Vice-Minister.
Wow, Ogami-san is amazing.
Yeah.
That guy is somehow starting to win over the students' hearts.
(Tsubuki) He's got a tsundere bomb installed, that guy.
That's so true.
Hah infuriating.
Hah infuriating.
Whoa! What is it?
Remember that bureaucrat teacher who was suspected of brokering amakudari?
Yes.
The follow-up report.
Ogami.
Finalist that's amazing.
I didn't do anything. Not at all.
You're secretly pulling strings, aren't you?
It's an interesting theme, isn't it? High school students and finance.
You're not going to suddenly do what you did at the cultural festival,
with the financial product as a dummy, are you?
If you do something like that, it would be a serious violation of the rules and a big problem.
You might ruin the AO entrance exams.
That's impossible. (Nakaoka) Well, well,
everyone's here.
Nakaoka-san, it's been a while.
You look well. Thank you.
I heard you're a judge today.
Yes, surprisingly, I'm
I heard you're a judge today.
Yes, surprisingly, I'm
actually a consultant for startup companies.
Please treat our students well.
I'll tell you now, I can't show any favoritism.
Of course not.
I know very well that you're strict about those things, Nakaoka-san.
Heh
Oh, do you know where the tournament headquarters is?
I can show you if you like. Thank you.
It's this way.
(Host)
Thank you, Katsuragi Mirai Academy!→
(Applause)
This is definitely Katsuragi Mirai's win.
This is definitely Katsuragi Mirai's win.
Could it be that Nakaoka-san gave them some advice?
No, no, I wouldn't.→
I wouldn't do anything like insider trading.
Not at all. Hahaha
Next is "The Future Company Support Fund
Dreamed of by High School Students."→
I wonder if this is related to finance. I'm looking forward to it.→
Now, we have our first finalist,
Toitoku Gakuin High School! Please come forward!
(Applause)
The participants are Miyazawa Ryo from class 2-3, and Fuyuki Ryuichiro.→
The participants are Miyazawa Ryo from class 2-3, and Fuyuki Ryuichiro.→
Tokumori Jin, and Tominaga Ao, for a total of four people.→
Now, what kind of presentation will the students from Toitoku Gakuin
show us?→
Everyone, please begin.
(Applause)
I don't think there's anyone who doesn't know this word,
but do you all really know
what actually happened?
Do you all know?
(Tokumori) In the 1980s, excellent physicists and mathematicians
flowed into the financial industry and used computers
to create financial products.
The number of years it would take to save the same amount from a savings account:
The number of years it would take to save the same amount from a savings account:
576 years.
(Audience murmurs)
(Miyazawa) The path of living honestly with a fixed-term deposit
was cut off by the Rule of 72.
(Fuyuki) It has become compulsory for high school students to learn about finance.→
With policy interest rates and salaries remaining the lowest among developed countries,
we were thrown out there and told to figure it out on our own.
With the country's debt exceeding 1000 trillion yen,
With the country's debt exceeding 1000 trillion yen,
if the country's finances were to collapse in the future,
we can't say that a deposit freeze would never happen.
That's what our future looks like.
(Tokumori)
Then we, as high school students, want to propose
the original power that finance has to adults.→
This is a proposal for a financial product where high school students save a small amount each month,
which is solid, but also contributes to society.
(Fuyuki) Our fund starts with publicly soliciting
the companies we want to invest in.→
From that, we, as high school students,
choose the companies that we really think
should remain in the future, together with experts, and invest in them.
(Tominaga) We want the companies
we want to remain in Japan's future to grow with our investment. This is the first WIN.
And a portion of the profits earned
is used for educational support
in regions where education is not readily available.
(Tominaga) The return is not just for personal selfishness,
(Tominaga) The return is not just for personal selfishness,
but is used for social contribution. This is the second WIN.
And the remainder is distributed to investors as returns.
By investing, we
can experience the feeling that society is becoming (vibrator rings)
(Tominaga) a better place with our own money.
This is the third WIN.
(Fuyuki) My father is in the financial industry, but→
When he heard this plan, he said, "That's"
When he heard this plan, he said, "That's"
"A fund that can restore the pride of us financial professionals."
Unexpectedly, even a fourth WIN overlapped.
(Typing on keyboard)
It's not the time for financial professionals to be paying each other back.
Neither schools nor financial dramas
teach us the real meaning of finance.
teach us the real meaning of finance.
The original meaning of finance that is
trust and mutual support.
Money is the embodiment of belief.
(Fuyuki) We want to go back to the very beginning of finance.
(Fuyuki) We want to go back to the very beginning of finance.
That's what we thought, and that's why we created this plan.
Questioning the meaning of investment that adults have forgotten.
Financial investment to create the future.
That's the kind of business plan we came up with.
This concludes our presentation.
(Applause)
(Applause)
(Camera shutter clicks)
(Nonstop applause)
(Host)
Wow, that was a wonderful presentation!
I'm just going to go put together a summary of the comments.
What about the discussion!?
Are there any other rankings besides this?
Well, but (Nakaoka) You see,
I work based on trust,
so I'll be back by the time the results are announced. Excuse me.
so I'll be back by the time the results are announced. Excuse me.
We won!
(Applause and cheers)
Congratulations!
(Tominaga) Thank you very much.
You're crying too much.
(Tokumori) Oh, Sensei!
Good job!
Thank you very much!
This victory was all thanks to Ogami-sensei!
I didn't do anything. It's the team's strength.
(Fuyuki) Koreshida-sensei, thank you too.
That was really great. Wow, he's surrounded.→
Ogami-san, you've become quite popular, haven't you?
Ogami-san, you've become quite popular, haven't you?
I never thought we'd actually win.
Am I imagining things?
(Tsubuki) Ogami-san, I thought I saw you crying.
Maybe some trash got in his eye or something.
That's right.
Oh, that's right.
They're saying we should have a victory party
at that family restaurant over there,
Ogami-sensei, Koreshida-sensei, will you go?
Go ahead, I need to go to the secretariat first.
Okay, then let's go, Sensei. Yeah!
Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go! Let's go!
I'll treat everyone today! Yay!
There's something I want to talk to you about.
What is it?
I heard it from my father yesterday
I heard it from my father yesterday
That your brother's case tomorrow
is going to be in a magazine.
I see.
What are you going to do?
I'm not going to do anything.
What do you mean you're not going to do anything?
It's already
over.
over.
It's not over, is it?
If I were you
I wouldn't be able to end it so easily.
I'm
fine now.
So next→
it's your turn
《(Mikami) Big brother》
《Big brother》
《Please, stop it already.》
《(Kota) What are you talking about?》
《Things like the petition》
《Why?》
《A friend told me.》
《"Your brother has been acting strange lately," they said》
《"Your brother has been acting strange lately," they said》
《(Distant thunder)》
《I feel sorry for causing Takashi》
《to worry like this.》
《But》
《If I don't do it》
《I'll stop being myself.》
《(Door opens)》
《(Door opens)》
《Oh? Takashi-kun, you were here.》
《Ah y-yeah.》
《What's wrong? Is the atmosphere awkward?》
《Oh, is this for the lunchtime broadcast?》
《I made a list of songs》
《to play during lunch break. Try listening to it.》
《(Kota) Yeah oh, oh, oh》
《It's good, isn't it?》 《Right?》
《(Kota) Yeah.》 《What about the order?》
《(Breaking sound)》
(Operating sound)
(Kanzaki) Um if you're here for a visit, it's this way.
No that's not it.
Person number 86.
Person number 86.
Yes.
They will not be having a visit today.
Please return your visitation slip.
(Miyazawa) That's why I'm against it! (Fuyuki) Huh? Why?
(Miyazawa) Isn't it weird? Financial products? (Tokumori) Hey, now
(Jigen) Huh? What's the argument about?
(Miyazawa) Well, um
(Tokumori) It's this.
Ah eh!?
You're entering the Kahou Foundation business contest?
(Tokumori) Yes. (Jigen) This high school business contest is
the biggest in Japan, right? That's right.
the biggest in Japan, right? That's right.
We're aiming to reach the finals, which is our long-cherished dream.
(Miyazawa) But Fuyuki started saying whatever she wanted.
Suddenly she said, "Let's make it a financial product!" (Fuyuki) We're entering so we can
get a waiver for the first round of the AO entrance exam, right?
If we don't go that far, there's no point!
I'm sorry, but you definitely won't win with that. Don't get involved.
I want to hear the reason! Sensei, the reason!
Have you looked at the past winning schools for that business contest? Didn't you think it was strange?
It's definitely biased.
Could it be adults' consideration?
The relationship between the Kahou Foundation and the government is well, I guess you don't know.
The relationship between the Kahou Foundation and the government is well, I guess you don't know.
I've heard of it. Their collusion is awful.
Even so, if we come up with an overwhelming idea
a miracle might happen. Of course, we're proceeding with that intention.
What about Fuyuki-kun?
It's this.
"A principal-protected fund where high school students can safely learn about investing."
And Miyazawa-kun?
I want to come up with a product development plan
that takes social contribution into consideration. Specifically?
During summer vacation, I visited a waste disposal company that's mindful of SDGs and
During summer vacation, I visited a waste disposal company that's mindful of SDGs and
a company that makes custom-made shoes for the elderly
but I didn't get much of an idea.
but the ideas
I see.
So Fuyuki-kun wants to create a financial product for high school students, and
Miyazawa-kun wants to develop a product
that is useful to society. Is that right?
Wakui-kun, what do you think?
(Wakui) They're both not great, are they?
Huh? Huh? Why? Wakui-kun!
Huh? Huh? Why? Wakui-kun!
Please explain the reason.
First, about Fuyuki's idea
a principal-protected fund is impossible.
Huh? Huh? But Fuyuki-kun said
it's the most popular financial product right now
That's a financial product that can be created by investing
in high-risk, high-return overseas hedge funds.
W-well, of course, we have to rethink the investment ratio, but
(Wakui) Did you properly read the fund's explanation?
It's not something amateur high school students can do anything about.
(Tokumori) Yes, um, Wakui-sensei
I understood almost nothing of what you were saying!
I understood almost nothing of what you were saying!
We have people like this on the team, too. I'm sorry.
See? That's why it's impossible.
In the first place, it's a high school business contest.
Product development that benefits society is the safe bet.
(Wakui) But Miyazawa doesn't have any concrete ideas, so
it's not even worth talking about, is it?
(Sakurai) Um Aren't you going to start class?
Oh, sorry, sorry. Let's get started.
Okay, take your seats. Yes.
Today
Page 193.
Page 193.
(Tominaga) Hey, hey, hey, hey um, about that thing earlier
Can't we combine them?
Huh? Combine?
Social contribution and finance? Huh? That's impossible, right?
You always immediately say "impossible." You're so inflexible, Miyazawa.
Hey, hey, hey can I help?
You're always sticking your nose into everything.
No, I appreciate Tominaga-san's energy!
No, I appreciate Tominaga-san's energy!
I'd definitely like your help. Leave it to me!
Yes! What should we do?
(Chigira) Shiiba, let's eat lunch on the roof.
(Shiiba) Okay. Alright, let's go.
(Isshiki) Shiiba-san from Sensei's class has been having health problems since spring
and comes to school every day, but
(Isshiki) Um her periods seem to be quite rough.
Periods?
Yes, it's been like this for a while now.
Yes, it's been like this for a while now.
I thought it would be best to let you know.
I understand. Thank you.
Thank you for your help.
(Koreeda) How about Yuzuru-san?
I went to the detention center several times during summer vacation, but
they wouldn't let me visit.
I see
That's why I'm sending letters.
Hopefully, you'll get a reply.
Yes
I'm home.
(Chie) Takuto.
A letter came for you.
You shouldn't tell your father.
Thank you.
(Nakaoka) I've heard about the cultural festival.
(Nakaoka) I've heard about the cultural festival.
(Makino) When you asked whether textbook screening is necessary or not, I thought
it was the end of Makino Kyosuke.
Is it that bad?
(Makino) If we're going to get scolded from Nagata-cho, it's usually about things like that.
It's usually about that type of thing.
I heard the students ran wild, is that right? That's right.
But I happened to pick this up.
(Makino) When they were changing the exhibits
"Plan Okami" was written on it.
"Plan Okami" was written on it.
So that means Mikami made them do it, right?
That might be useful in a pinch.
That's right.
(Kodai) This is the conditional future, so here
Ah oh maybe there was something like that.
For this kind of thing it's faster to think about it in English.
but yeah.
I understand.
(Knock)
Excuse me. Ah, Mr. Mikami.
That student I think ah, they're in the first year, but
That student I think ah, they're in the first year, but
they've stopped coming to school.
They said they can attend school if they go to the chairman's office
so we're having them come here. Oh, really?
Even a kid who comes to a high school like ours
things like that happen.
Education is not so simple.
Ah, please come this way. Excuse me. Ah
Um what did you want to talk about? Ah, well, it's about
the Kahou Foundation's business contest.
the Kahou Foundation's business contest.
Winning that contest is our long-cherished dream.
So I want them to try their best to their hearts' content.
However um
the theme
I want you to guide them well.
The theme? Because of the cultural festival
if it's too provocative
we'll get another scolding from Kasumigaseki. Well
A person from a think tank
under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet Office is on the judging panel for that contest.
In other words, depending on the content, we might get scolded from Nagata-cho as well.
I want to value the students' autonomy, but
I understand. I'll keep it in mind.
(Kodai) Thank you for your help.
(Chime)
Okay, class is over. Thank you.
Koreeda-sensei, do you invest?
Huh? What's this all of a sudden?
Huh? What's this all of a sudden?
Team Miyazawa is entering the business contest. Ah yeah, I know.
Are you going to submit a plan related to investment? Yes, a plan that connects financial products and social contribution.
to connect financial products and social contribution.
I can come up with any number of ways
to contribute to society with the money we earn, but
I can't think of any ideas to earn money in a way that helps society.
Do you have any ideas?
Well, do I look like the type of
person who invests?
Huh? What about retirement funds?
Safe and steady in a fixed deposit.
Safe and steady in a fixed deposit.
Ah, no, no, no. That's completely useless.
Since it's a good opportunity, let's have her tell us.
Yes!
If you put 1 million yen in a bank
how many years will it take to double?
Huh? I have no idea at all.
There's something called the Rule of 72.
Huh? The Rule of 72? Yes.
(Miyazawa) The Rule of 72
Even the banks with high interest rates for fixed deposits right now
are only around 0.5% annual interest. And?
are only around 0.5% annual interest. And?
The number of years it takes for the principal to double
can be calculated by dividing 72 by the interest rate.
So, if you divide 72 by 0.5
it comes out to 144 years!
Huh? Really!?
And even at major banks, right now it's about
0.125% annual interest.
72 ÷ 0.125 576 years!
Whoa, that's impossible.
Ah uh, Sensei wait, when did this become about the business contest?
Ah uh, Sensei wait, when did this become about the business contest?
Did you come up with some miraculous idea?
Koreeda-sensei, please give me a break.
Um anything related to finance is really impossible for me.
But I heard your family is quite good at making money.
That's why I have an allergy to it.
That's it! Huh?
The reason for your allergy to money!
I want to hear it. Definitely.
Well I'm not useful at all. (Tominaga) It's the people who aren't useful that are
the most useful! Um
That's harsh Can I talk to you for a bit?
Of course. Please.
Of course. Please.
Not here
(Miyazawa) Well, we need to come up with a plan that's appealing
even to people like Sensei who are resistant to investing.
They said they'll meet if Okami is with you.
Aren't visits only allowed on weekdays?
Next week is Foundation Day. It's a holiday, right?
Ah, that's right
I don't want to lower my head to you, but
I absolutely have to meet them, so
I understand.
Thank you for your help.
(Announcement) General visitation, 2nd floor area, number 16
please go up to the 2nd floor tower.
(Yuzuru) Hey, is this kid Kanzaki-kun?
Yes, I am.
If there's something you want to say, it'll only take 3 seconds.
Don't ever get involved in my life again.
Why didn't you kill me?
(Yuzuru) Huh?
(Yuzuru) Huh?
I was the one who destroyed your family. Not him.
(Yuzuru) Because I didn't know.
Huh?
Until your letter came
I didn't know anything about your newspaper.
Saejima-sensei
didn't tell Yuzuru-san about this newspaper.
That's right, isn't it?
That's right, isn't it?
《(Takamasa) Why with a guy like that!?》 《(Yuko) I'm sorry.》
《(Sound of something breaking)》 《(Takamasa) Get out!》
《(Yuko) Please let me talk to Yuzuru!》
《(Sound of being hit and falling)》 《(Takamasa) There's no need to talk!》
《(Yuko) With Yuzuru Let me talk to Yuzuru!》
(Kanzaki) If the reason you did that wasn't because of me
was your goal revenge against your father?
No way
No way
(Kanzaki) Because that's how it was for me.
Huh?
To spite my father, a newspaper reporter
I scooped the scandal about Saejima-sensei.
(Yuzuru) That's why I'm telling you it has nothing to do with your lame newspaper!
I'm telling you it has nothing to do with your lame newspaper!
But it was hard, right? Huh?
But it was hard, right? Huh?
Betrayed by the only mother you trusted
and in a house where your mother was gone
you were constantly berated by your father.
Shut up
Considering his nature, there might have been violence.
So what? There's no way it wasn't hard.
You're so annoying! Shut up!
Kanako Shibuya-san
Do you understand?
I went to see her.
Kanako Shibuya?
She told me to "tell you this."
I don't need it!
(Kanzaki) "If I were asked who I hate the most right now"
"I would undoubtedly answer Mayama Yuzuru."
"In a room without my son, I only wish for your maximum sentence."
"I am alive, but I am dead."
"So, I thought there was nothing I wanted to say to you."
"I thought there was nothing."
"I just wished you would disappear."
"I just wished you would disappear."
"But when I was asked if there was anything I wanted to say to Kanzaki-kun"
"I realized there was something I absolutely had to convey."
"I realized there was something."
"When I learned about the circumstances"
"you had lived in through newspapers and television"
"I felt like I understood why you"
"had done something like that."
"had done something like that."
"I felt like I understood."
《(Kanako) I hope you pass.》
《(Shibuya) Thank you. I'm off.》
(Kanzaki) "The place where you were"
《(Kanako) Do your best.》
(Kanzaki) "was very similar to the place where Yusuke and I had run away from."
"Because it was very similar."
Stop it
(Kanzaki) "Yuzuru-san"
"on the back of the person you killed, there was a cigarette burn"
"that his father had inflicted."
"That is something I absolutely"
"wanted to tell you."
"And as I was writing this letter"
"And as I was writing this letter"
"I can't help but think about why you became the way you are."
"I can't help but think about it."
"I don't want to think about it."
"But I can't help but think about it."
I told you to stop! Can't you hear me!?
(Kanzaki) "Probably"
"from now on forever"
"Kanako Shibuya."
This person is thinking.
Is continuing to think.
That's why
there's no way we can stop.
So high and mighty.
You brat!
I'm not great
I'm telling you, you and I are both guilty!
In a certain movie
a luxury hotel is occupied by young terrorists
and the guests are killed one after another.
But amidst that massacre
one of the terrorist youths
eats the leftover pizza that a guest left behind.
Probably it's the first pizza he's ever eaten.
Probably it's the first pizza he's ever eaten.
He starts laughing innocently at how incredibly delicious it is.
In front of the corpses he massacred
The really bad guys
are definitely not in that hotel.
What's there are
a poor boy who's never eaten pizza
a poor boy who's never eaten pizza
and ordinary customers who happened to be visiting for sightseeing
and have just a little more money than other people.
The really bad guys
are telling us they're not here either, right?
But
if I don't think it's my responsibility
I can't move forward.
Me
and Yuzuru-san
(Kanzaki) Yuzuru-san
(Kanzaki) Yuzuru-san
(Kanzaki) Do you really think
Saejima-sensei was really having an affair?
I believe it.
The person I knew
wouldn't do something like that.
(Tokumori) I can't find anything like a clear disadvantage, though.
(Tokumori) I can't find anything like a clear disadvantage, though.
(Miyazawa) This is bad! We have to submit the document entry!
(Tokumori) I think we've already written a flow that's feasible enough.
(Tokumori) I think we've already written a flow that's feasible enough.
(Fuyuki) No, it's no good! We'll get rejected based on the documents if we leave it like this.
Ah! Hey, Kurayoshi, in America
you study investment, right? Do you have any good ideas?
(Kurayoshi) They make you study from the basics, but
what we're actually doing is just
"Let's do proper research," stuff like that.
(Tominaga) Hmm I see
But you know I think what everyone's trying to create is really good.
But you know I think what everyone's trying to create is really good.
But you know I think what everyone's trying to create is really good.
Huh? Huh? What's good about it? Please tell me!
In Europe and America, if a company that's putting money into forest protection is
making products that cause air pollution
they get told it's no good because it's a contradiction.
But what you guys want to do is generate profit
while also contributing to society, right?
Yes. Hmm, I think that's really the right approach.
Whoa! What should we do to have everyone win?
Why don't you try borrowing everyone's wisdom?
Why don't you try borrowing everyone's wisdom?
(Tokumori) Huh? Since we're here, Koreeda-sensei,
why don't you try facilitating it?
I'd like to try it.
Is that okay?
I realized something while talking to everyone the other day.
That we're the ones who are turning this into money.
Because this is just paper, isn't it?
The reason you can buy things with something made of paper is
because you believe that the promise that it can be used as money again
will be kept. That's what I realized.
Until now, I had always
believed that money was something dirty.
But
But
When I thought of it as the embodiment of trust,
I thought, wow, money and humans are amazing!
What is it that the business contest team wants to do now?
Fuyuki-kun? Huh? Me?
Because it's an idea that started with Fuyuki-kun, right?
Everyone wants to hear it, right?
My father was at a foreign investment bank,
in the very center of the money game.
(Shinonome) Why the past tense?
(Fuyuki) Ah you know about the Lehman Shock, right?
(Shinonome) Ah
He suffered a big loss because of that
and the Japanese branch itself disappeared.
Could you tell me what the Lehman Shock is?
In the early 2000s, America
was in a housing boom.
Subprime people who wouldn't normally be able to buy homes,
meaning people with low repayment ability
Even those low-income people
Even those low-income people
could get housing loans
if they paid a higher interest rate than normal.
That's what's called a subprime loan, but
Since real estate prices were soaring, even if they couldn't repay the loan,
they could sell the house and repay it, right?
Investors saw an opportunity there.
(Enomoto) Huh? What does that mean?
Ah in other words, they turned the subprime loans themselves
into investment products. The interest rate paid by the borrowers
became the investors' return. That was the structure, but
it became known as an investment product that would absolutely never lose money,
it became known as an investment product that would absolutely never lose money,
and the market just kept growing and growing.
(Anzai) I see. (Fuyuki) But then,
the housing bubble burst and people couldn't sell their houses anymore.
So, Lehman Brothers, which had made huge investments in funds that incorporated subprime loans,
their performance deteriorated and they went bankrupt.
And in a chain reaction, the global financial market cooled down.
(Anzai)
That's the Lehman shock, huh?
(Shiiba) Using the dreams of low-income people who want to own a home,
to try to make money that's the worst.
To try to make money that's the worst.
(Fuyuki) My father used to say that too.
"Finance has forgotten its original mission."
My father regretted becoming a living witness to that.
→
If we could make a good financial product,→
he said, "I'd definitely want to help."
To make my father's wish come true,
I thought I wanted to make a financial product.
Why did you keep such an amazing thing a secret?
Huh rather, why would I say it?
(Tokumori) It's important!
Look, look at Miyazawa's face!
Huh? You were moved, right?→
You were super moved just now by Fuyuki's story, right?
(Miyazawa) Shut up, Tokumori! Be quiet!
I don't know about the time of the Lehman shock.
I was just a baby then.
I don't know about the time of the Lehman shock.
I was just a baby then.
So
During summer vacation, when I said, "I want to go into finance in the future,"
that's the first time he told me about it.
So
At first, in order to win the business contest,
I thought if we could incorporate welfare and social contribution,
it would be advantageous.
But it's different now.
it would be advantageous.
But it's different now.
(Miyazawa) I realized that that way of thinking itself was shallow.
It's something you work on for a lifetime,
but to use it for AO entrance exam preparation
In the end, isn't it just that your own profits are important?
After hearing Fuyuki's story,
I want to create a financial product
to design the ideal society that we envision.
I want to create a financial product.
It's clear now.
Please lend me your ideas!
Please!
(Kanzaki) Miyazawa,
you said the answer at the beginning, didn't you?
(Miyazawa) Huh?
You went to see it during summer vacation, didn't you?
You went to see it during summer vacation, didn't you?
Ah
The waste disposal company that realized a recyclable garbage system, or
And custom-made shoes for the elderly!
(Tominaga) I see
You mean we should think about where to invest!
That's true.
Instead of just allocating a portion of the return to social contribution,
the financial product itself can contribute to society.
The financial product itself can contribute to society.
In other words, that's
what it might mean to design society.
We can figure out the rest ourselves, right?
Huh isn't Kanzaki starting to resemble Okami?
Yeah Huh? Shut up.
(Tominaga) Wait, wait.→
I might have got it! What?
Ready, set, send!
Ready, set, send!
Oh! Alright!
Yay! Yay yay yay!
Let's go, let's go no, it's fine, it's fine.
(Miyazawa) Everyone! Everyone!
Umm
High School Business Project Competition
We've successfully made it to the final judging!
Oh! (Miyazawa) This is actually pretty amazing.→
It's our school's first achievement.
(Tokumori) The final presentation is this Saturday.→
(Tokumori) The final presentation is this Saturday.→
It's open to the public, so the audience's applause is important.→
Please come and join us!
Thank you for your support!
Thank you for your support.
Thank you!
You're coming next Saturday, aren't you?
(Mizobata) Huh? Could it be that the director is also? (Kodai) That business contest is
different from other business contests.
It will raise our school's reputation in leaps and bounds.
We have to show that we are not just a school for exams
show that.
show that.
We definitely want to make it ours.
(Tsubuki) Makino-san, are you going to this? (Makino) Huh? You too, Tsubuki?
Tsukada is terrified
that he might offend Nagatacho.
(Tsubuki) Well
He's worried that Team Ogami might make an announcement that objects to the government.
Tsukada-san is wary.
That's right. If we did something like that,
it would be leaked directly to the Cabinet Bureau of Personnel Affairs,
it would be leaked directly to the Cabinet Bureau of Personnel Affairs,
and it would have a huge impact on the next administrative vice-minister appointment.
That's right. Tsukada as administrative vice-minister
Dark clouds are looming over the countdown to Tsukada's birth as the Administrative Vice-Minister.
Wow, Ogami-san is amazing.
Yeah.
That guy is somehow starting to win over the students' hearts.
(Tsubuki) He's got a tsundere bomb installed, that guy.
That's so true.
Hah infuriating.
Hah infuriating.
Whoa! What is it?
Remember that bureaucrat teacher who was suspected of brokering amakudari?
Yes.
The follow-up report.
Ogami.
Finalist that's amazing.
I didn't do anything. Not at all.
You're secretly pulling strings, aren't you?
It's an interesting theme, isn't it? High school students and finance.
You're not going to suddenly do what you did at the cultural festival,
with the financial product as a dummy, are you?
If you do something like that, it would be a serious violation of the rules and a big problem.
You might ruin the AO entrance exams.
That's impossible. (Nakaoka) Well, well,
everyone's here.
Nakaoka-san, it's been a while.
You look well. Thank you.
I heard you're a judge today.
Yes, surprisingly, I'm
I heard you're a judge today.
Yes, surprisingly, I'm
actually a consultant for startup companies.
Please treat our students well.
I'll tell you now, I can't show any favoritism.
Of course not.
I know very well that you're strict about those things, Nakaoka-san.
Heh
Oh, do you know where the tournament headquarters is?
I can show you if you like. Thank you.
It's this way.
(Host)
Thank you, Katsuragi Mirai Academy!→

Could it be that Nakaoka-san gave them some advice?
No, no, I wouldn't.→
I wouldn't do anything like insider trading.
Not at all. Hahaha
Next is "The Future Company Support Fund
Dreamed of by High School Students."→
I wonder if this is related to finance. I'm looking forward to it.→

Now, what kind of presentation will the students from Toitoku Gakuin
show us?→
Everyone, please begin.
(Applause)
I don't think there's anyone who doesn't know this word,
but do you all really know
what actually happened?
Do you all know?
(Tokumori) In the 1980s, excellent physicists and mathematicians
flowed into the financial industry and used computers
to create financial products.
The number of years it would take to save the same amount from a savings account:
The number of years it would take to save the same amount from a savings account:
576 years.
(Audience murmurs)
(Miyazawa) The path of living honestly with a fixed-term deposit
was cut off by the Rule of 72.
(Fuyuki) It has become compulsory for high school students to learn about finance.→
With policy interest rates and salaries remaining the lowest among developed countries,
we were thrown out there and told to figure it out on our own.
With the country's debt exceeding 1000 trillion yen,
With the country's debt exceeding 1000 trillion yen,
if the country's finances were to collapse in the future,
we can't say that a deposit freeze would never happen.
That's what our future looks like.
(Tokumori)
Then we, as high school students, want to propose
the original power that finance has to adults.→
This is a proposal for a financial product where high school students save a small amount each month,
which is solid, but also contributes to society.
(Fuyuki) Our fund starts with publicly soliciting
the companies we want to invest in.→
From that, we, as high school students,
choose the companies that we really think
should remain in the future, together with experts, and invest in them.
(Tominaga) We want the companies
we want to remain in Japan's future to grow with our investment. This is the first WIN.
And a portion of the profits earned
is used for educational support
in regions where education is not readily available.
(Tominaga) The return is not just for personal selfishness,
(Tominaga) The return is not just for personal selfishness,
but is used for social contribution. This is the second WIN.
And the remainder is distributed to investors as returns.
By investing, we
can experience the feeling that society is becoming (vibrator rings)
(Tominaga) a better place with our own money.
This is the third WIN.
(Fuyuki) My father is in the financial industry, but→
When he heard this plan, he said, "That's"
When he heard this plan, he said, "That's"
"A fund that can restore the pride of us financial professionals."
Unexpectedly, even a fourth WIN overlapped.
(Typing on keyboard)
It's not the time for financial professionals to be paying each other back.
Neither schools nor financial dramas
teach us the real meaning of finance.
teach us the real meaning of finance.
The original meaning of finance that is
trust and mutual support.
Money is the embodiment of belief.
(Fuyuki) We want to go back to the very beginning of finance.
(Fuyuki) We want to go back to the very beginning of finance.
That's what we thought, and that's why we created this plan.
Questioning the meaning of investment that adults have forgotten.
Financial investment to create the future.

This concludes our presentation.

That's right.
Oh, that's right.
