The world of fairytales from my innocent childhood

純粋な子供の頃に会えた童話の中の世界は

still coexists with this world.

まだもこの世界とともに存在している。

But because the speed of the two worlds is so different

ただ二つの世界の速度が違い

We can only meet the fantasies from the fairytales

二つの世界が偶然、会える一瞬だけ

when the two worlds coincidentally meet.

私たちは童話の中のファンタジーを現実で向かい合うことができる。

What is the key that can bring back the fairytales?

童話を呼びつけられる鍵は何だろう。

It is now the last day of finals in my junior year.

Fairytale in Life inspired by DISNEY

I was so used to my busy life.

director KIMDAX

Like the scenery from a bullet train,

時は3年2学期の最後のテストの日。

my fast paced life has left barley anything for me to look behind and appreciate.

走り走ってたらいつのまに私は忙しい生活になれてた。

Even inside the rapidly moving subway,

速く過ぎて行く地下鉄の外の景色みたいに

everyone is running their own races.

過ぎて来た私の人生も速すぎて結局は何にも見えない。

I wanted to escape from this, even for a moment.

速く走ってる地下鉄の中でも

So I closed the chapter

人々は各々のレースを速く走っている。

and side – tracked myself from the everlasting track in front of me.

少しの間だけ抜け出したかった。

Let it go, let it go

それで私は本を閉じて

Can't hold it back any more

その切りがないレースからしばらく抜け出すことにした。

Let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go

Turn away and slam the door

Can't hold it back any more

I don't care what they're going to say

Let it go, let it go

Let the storm rage on,

Turn away and slam the door

the cold never bothered me anyway

I don't care what they're going to say

It's funny how some distance

Let the storm rage on,

Makes everything seem small

the cold never bothered me anyway

And the fears that once controlled me

It's funny how some distance

Can't get to me at all

Makes everything seem small

It's time to see what I can do

And the fears that once controlled me

To test the limits and break through

Can't get to me at all

No right, no wrong, no rules for me

It's time to see what I can do

I'm free

To test the limits and break through

Let it go, let it go

No right, no wrong, no rules for me

I am one with the wind and sky

I'm free

Let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go

You'll never see me cry

I am one with the wind and sky

Here I stand

Let it go, let it go

And here I stay

You'll never see me cry

Let the storm rage on

Here I stand

My power flurries through the air into the ground

And here I stay

My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around

Let the storm rage on

And one thought crystalizes like an icy blast

My power flurries through the air into the ground

I'm never going back,

My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around

The past is in the past

And one thought crystalizes like an icy blast

Let it go, let it go

I'm never going back,

When I'll rise like the break of dawn

The past is in the past

Let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go

That perfect girl is gone

When I'll rise like the break of dawn

Here I stand

Let it go, let it go

in the light of day

That perfect girl is gone

Let the storm rage on,

Here I stand

The cold never bothered me anyway

in the light of day

When have I felt like this before?

Let the storm rage on,

That familiar feeling.

The cold never bothered me anyway

I felt free from the things that suppressed me.

私がこの気分をまた、いつ感じただろう？

A magical moment in everyday life.

懐かしい感じ。

Thanks to it, the ordinary road felt extraordinary.

一瞬だけ私を押さえてたことから解放された気分。

What a strange day.

日常で会えた童話みたいな瞬間。

It is the day of the most important final exam,

そのおかげなのか私がいつも歩いたこの道が

but I'm feeling different than usual. Relaxed.

少しは新しく感じれた。

Cold concrete walls,

変な日。

the usual scenery.

一番、重要な専攻試験の日なのに、

But it still feels odd

私はいつもと違って心に余裕がある。

because I keep thinking that I have forgotten something.

冷たいコンクリートの壁の講義室。

Please put everything away.

同じ景色。

Start passing it to the back.

しかし、違うことがあるとしたら？

- Write an article interviewing yourself after achieving your dream in 10 years. (30 pts) -

私が何かを忘れていたという気がする

You guys have worked hard for this semester.

変な日だ。

Today, you will write an essay based on your knowledge.

さあ、机の上にあるもの全部入れなさい。

I don't want you to study like a robot and to just get a job.

さあ、後ろに回してくれる?

I've seen so many 4.5 perfect GPA.

(30点)

It breaks my heart to wonder what kind of things students had to sacrifice in order to earn these scores.

-10年後に夢を叶えた私をインタビューする記事を書きなさい。（30点）-

'That made things really blue.'

一学期の間,本当にご苦労様でした。

'Today is our last art class.'

'I'd prefer you being smart yet glowing with dreams.'

記事文を一つ、作って出してください。

'This is your last homework.'

私は皆さんが就職準備のため機械のように勉強ばかりして

'Figure out what a glowing person looks like.'

欲しくないんです。

- Final art class - - Light -

最近4.5満点を取る学生たちが多かったけど

See you!

そんな学生たちを見ると

When I was little, I had a lot of dolls at my house.

＇その学生たちがその単位を取るために何をあきらめたんだろう？＇ と思いつき心が痛みます。

Out of those, the pink rabbit was my favorite.

＇それが本当に悲しい。

I felt as if the pink rabbit was really alive.

＇今日が最後の美術の時間だ。＇

So, whenever I came home home from school

＇せっかくならみんなが利口で輝く人になって欲しい。＇

I gave the pink rabbit a hug before I started unpacking my school bag.

＇最後の宿題だ。＇

I believed that just like the fairy tales that my mom used to read to me

＇キラキラ輝く人とはどういう人か

my dolls would come to life while I was asleep.

答えを探してみて。＇

Whenever one of my dolls would become ripped, I would take it to my mom saying that my doll was sick.

-最後の美術従業- -光-

My mom would then look at me lovingly and remind me to take good care of my doll friends.

学校、行ってきます！

It's been twenty years and although I do not remember everything about day

幼いころうちには人形が多かった。

I still hate the color red.

その中で一番、大切だったものは

In the remaining fragments of memory

ピンク色のウサギ人形だった。

the sky was unusually bright

私はその人形が本当に生きてると思ってた。

and the shadow on our house's door was unusually dark.

それで、私は家にかえて来てをかばんをおく前に

As soon as I walked in, I saw that my house was covered in red seizure stickers

そのウサギ人形にも挨拶をしながらギュッと抱きしめてあげてた。

and I could instinctively tell that these red papers were bad.

母はそんな私にいつも童話を読んでくれて、

Sharp noises.

私は童話の中の生きている人形みたいに

The agitated conversation between my parents behind the closed door

私の人形たちも私が寝ている間に生きて動ける私の友だちだと思ってた。

and the wave of red that engulfed the house

それで人形が破れると母に人形がいたいと言いながら持ていてたし、

remained a trauma.

母はそんな私を愛らしく見つめながら

Soon after, I erased the image of Santa Claus

人形の友だちを大事にしてあげてと言ってくれてた。

and the living rabbit doll from my mind.

20年も過ぎたことなのでその日のことが全部思い出せないけど、

Our family moved to a small one-room house

私は今も相変わらず赤色が一番、嫌いだ。

and before we moved, we had to throw a lot of things away.

破片のように残っている記憶。

Naturally, the first things to be disposed of were the useless items

私の記憶の中にその日の空は特にまぶしくて、

and my mom threw away my stuffed animals before anything else.

特に暗かった。

Looking back, it was a logical thing for my mom to do

家の中には赤い紙がところどころについていて、

But to the young me, it came as a shock.

私は直感的にこの赤い紙は悪いことだとわかった。

My mom had taught me about fantasies by reading fairy tales to me.

するどい声。

Yet, when hit by reality, the first thing that my mom threw away were those very fantasies.

閉めてるドアの向こうから聞こえてくる両親のするどい声と

I realized then

家の中を覆った赤い波は

that when people are in trouble they will let go of the intangible things,

トラウマに残っている。

such as feelings and dreams

サンタを信じなくなり、

before letting go of the tangible.

生きていたと信じていたそのウサギ人形を殺してしまったのは

My childhood that had been filled with innocence and the

実はその日、以来のことだった。

dreams that I had so confidently written down soon became a part of my forgotten memories.

その後うちは一間の部屋に引っ越しをして

I am now a high school student facing college admissions.

引っ越しする前に多くのものを捨てなければならなかった。

The only place in which I can

捨てるものを選ぶときに

Escape from the constant pressure and evaluations is art class.

当然、使い物にならないものから選ぶことになって、

But today is the last day of art class.

それで母は人形たちを一番、先に捨ててた。

Because the school decided that art was irrelevant in terms of college prep.

今、思うと当然なことだが、

Will there be anything left if I continue to work towards 'success'?

幼い私には大きなショックだった。

Hello class.

私に童話という幻想を読んでくれた母が

Hello

現実の問題とぶっつかると最小に捨てたのはその幻想だった。

Can I have your attention please?

私はその時、人々がつらい時に最小に手放すことは

Are you guys all tired from studying?

触れるものではなく触れないものだと気付いた。

Yes.

そんなに純粋さで輝いてた幼年時代の姿も

As you guys already know, today is the last day of art class.

自信を持って書いてた純粋な夢も全部記憶の向こうに忘れられた。

I'm really proud of all of you for how smart you have become.

私は今、大学入試を前にしている普通の高校生。

But my hope is that all of my students would not only be smart

それなりに好きだったものは

but also be students radiating of dreams and passion.

当たって間違えがなかった、絶え間なく評価される歯車から逃れることができてた

It saddens me to see students losing their light

絵を描いてた瞬間、美術授業の時間だった。

overwhelmed from the pressure to be 'properly educated'.

しかし、今日は最後の美術授業の時間だ。

Light

美術が大学の入試に必要ではないという学校の判断で。

This is your final assignment for this class.

こんなに速く走ったら何が残るのだろうか。

I want you guys to find a moment in your lives in which you shone the most brightly

皆さん、おはよ！

and find the true meaning of a 'brightly shining person'.

おはようございます！

The due date is…

さあ、もう静かにして注目！

Before graduation!

みんな勉強するこよ大変でしょう?

Come on guys. You guys know that since today is the last day, I won't have time to check the homework.

はい！

This assignment won't be graded.

聞いてるけど今日が最後の美術時間だ。

This assignment won't be graded.

あ。。。

But keep in mind that those who find the answer to this assignment

先生は利口なみんなが自慢で好きだ。

will have their eyes opened to a different world.

しかし、せっかくなら皆が

Whether you actually complete the homework is up to you, but I highly recommend doing it.

利口で輝く人でいて欲しい。

Wow. Look at this reaction. Is this all you guys have learned in high school, how to improve your teacher's mood?

世界には利口な人たちはどんどん増えてるのに

Good luck in college everyone! Class is dismissed.

実際には輝く人はどんどんなくなってることが、

- Final art class - - Light -

それが本当にかなしい。

Even now, that speech sends shivers down my spine.

ー光ー

I instinctively felt that I would be able to discover something amazing

先生が皆に出す最後の宿題だ。

and I became determined to complete the assignment.

皆の人生で一番輝いてた瞬間を探してみて。

When in life did I shine the most brightly?

それで先生が言ってた輝く人とはなんなのか

The day after my mom threw all of my dolls away

皆なりの結論を出してみて。

I searched around the town for my doll

提出期間は。。。

but I was only able to find the pink rabbit.

高校卒業の前まで！

By the time I went back home, the sky had exploded with color with the setting of the sun.

どうせ今日が最後の授業だから検査する時間もないよ！

When my mom saw me walking home, crying and dragging the pink rabbit behind me

だからこの宿題は検査はもらわなくていい。

her facial expression was the saddest that I had ever seen.

だからやらなくていいって言ってるの。

Once I saw the pink rabbit seated in the small house

しかしきっとしっかりした答えが見つかれたやつらは

I sensed something different.

今まで見えなかったものを見れるようになるよ。

This pink rabbit was now nothing but a burden in our house.

するかしないかはお前らの勝手だが先生は必ずやることを推薦するよ。

It was no longer a friend, but a bunch of cotton produced from a factory.

これはもう高校3年の間にリアクションだけ学んだみたいだな?

And it was therefore an easily disposable item.

全員、良い大学に行って！

If the pink rabbit really had been alive

今日の授業は終り!

I knew that my mom would not have sacrificed it first.

ー最後の美術授業ー ー光ー

When I went back to my room to search for the time in which I shone the most brightly

私はまだあの時を思えると全身にささやかな設立がでる。

I discovered my old friend

私は何か大きなものを発見できると思って、

torn apart just like my childhood scars.

ときめきで、

I then became certain

必ずその宿題をやりとげてみせると思った。

The way in which I perceived the doll

私が一番輝いてた瞬間とはいつだろう。

a time of both innocence and pain

母が人形を全部捨てた次の日、

the familiar old scent of the doll

私は町のあちこちを回しながら人形たちを、私の友だちを探してて

a time in which I believed in the fantasies and found happiness in the small moments of life

私が一番大事にしていたそのウサギ人形だけをやっと見つかることができてた。

That was when I had shined the brightest.

空が夕焼けで五色の光で染まった時にようやく私は家に帰った。

I had completed the first part of my assignment but I still needed to finish the other half.

一手にウサギ人形を泣きながら引いて帰った私を見た母は

I then began making frequent trips to the art room, searching for the true meaning of a brightly shining person.

私が予想してたことと全く違う表情をしてた。

Since there were no more art classes

多分、それは私が一生の間に始めてみた母の一番悲しい顔だった。

I had the room all to myself and I began to make it my own.

でも、ウサギ人形をその小さい家においた瞬間

Whenever I became frustrated, I would go to the room and think about the answer to the second assignment

私は家で荷物のように感じられる人形を見て気付いてしまった。

During those times, I felt free.

これ以上その人形は私が愛してた、生きている私の友だちではないことを。

Time passed and the day of the final college examination arrived.

なぜならそれはどこかの工場で作られた人形だから。

I had spent my days with no particular goal in mind and I felt depressed about my future.

それで一番に捨てられる品物にすぎなかったから。

Once again, I visited the art room,

万が一、童話が本当に事実で人形が生きてたなら、

still searching for the definition of a brightly shining person.

うちの母が人形を一番捨てたりしないから。

Look at the moon

一番に輝く瞬間を探すために家に帰ってきて部屋を探したら

Isn't it majestic?

幼年時代の私の傷みたいに

This is my secret room

腹がちぎれた傷ができた昔の友だちに会った。

My only place of refuge

そして、私は確信した。

A time for myself

その人形を見つめていた私の視線、

There is so much they ask from me

痛かったが純粋だったその時の姿、

School is always the biggest priority

人形から嗅げる昔の香り

I got a higher grade on my test!

幼い頃に童話の世界を信じて小さな日常に幸せを感じてたその時が

But

私の人生で一番輝いたときだってことを。

I want a life for me

一番、輝く瞬間に関する答えは見つかった。

The special doll that I met

私はその日からキラキラに輝く人とは何か

In the fairy tales from my childhood

その最後の答えを探すために美術室に出入りした。

You loved me unconditionally

美術従業がなくっなって美術室を探す人がほとんどいなくなったので

A time when you and I

私は美術室を私のアジトに飾り始めた。

Spent time together

生き苦しいときにそこで最後の問題の答えを悩んでみると

Without any worries

その瞬間だけは実に自由だった。

Was I shining then?

時間が流れて受験日が迫ってきた。

What does it mean to be a brightly shining person?

目的なく流れてたら迫ってきた大きな試験に

If I find the meaning, will a different life appear before me?

私は乱れた心でまた美術室を訪ねた。

I'm going to find it

その時まで私は輝く人とは何だかその答えがわからなかった。

I will find it

あの月を見て

Regardless of how long it takes

かっこ良くない？

I'm going to find the answer

ここは私だけの秘密空間

I've lived a life set by the standards of others

唯一な私の休みの所

But I will now start discovering myself

私だけの時間

Not what others want

私に望むことが多すぎる

but what I choose

ただ勉強だけが重要だった

The thing that I truly want

＇私、今回のテスト点数上がった！＇

I want

しかし

to be a brightly shining person

私は違う人生を望む

Even when the college examination ended,

幼いころ読んでた童話の中

I still did not know the answer to the assignment.

そこで出会った大切な絆

I will be back with the answer.

条件なく私を愛してくれるあなた

The memory I have forgotten for many years,

君と私が

The last problem I could not solve, all came back to me.

心配なく

Remember, the center of the world is you.

一日中に一緒だったその時

My hope is, instead of doing what everyone else is doing,

その時の私は輝く人だったのかな？

you will find the dream that you truly want.

キラキラ輝く人とは何だろう？

Hope you are a person with the best life rather than the best GPA.

探したら見えなかった何を見れるのだろう？

And now, good luck on your exam.

見つけ出すよ

The blank canvas that could not be filled

分かるようになる

Teacher, I came to this good university as you said,

時間が掛っても

But what was I doing all this time?

いつかは答えを見つけて帰ってくるよ

If I had understood the meaning behind “going to a college does not mean everything”.

人々がきめた基準に合わせて

If had realized what the “brightly shining person” truly meant.

見よい人生を生きてきた

Would I be living a different life?

でも、これからは私を探して行く。

I'm not too late, am I?

他人が望む

You haven't changed.

私ではなく

A time when I shone the most brightly

本当に私が望むこと
