Tegoshige's Academic Recommendations
大学生の2人に聞きます！
どうして進学しようと思ったの？
We ask the two college students!
Why do they think you should do higher education?
どうして大学に行こうと思ったの？
Why did you decide to go to college?
手越：オレは、心理学を専攻したんだ。オレの中では犯罪心理とか恋愛心理とかを学ぶと、お芝居に役立つじゃないかと思ったの。実際は、イメージしてたのとはちょっと違ったかな。でもいろんなことを勉強できてよかったと思ってるよ。
Tegoshi: I majored in psychology. I studied things like crime psychology and romance psychology and so I figured with that I could assist with theatrical productions. The fact is that the image I had of college was different from reality, but I'm still glad I studied a variety of things.
加藤：オレは高校からエスカレーター式だったし、行かない理由がないって感じだったね。仕事との両立って意味では、中学や高校のときのほうが大変だったし。それに、もうちょっと友達と一緒にいたいって、気持ちもあったから。
Shige: For me, I was part of an escalator school system** but I felt like I had no motivation to move forward. It was difficult enough to balance work with junior high and high school, but I felt like I wanted to spend time together with friends, so I went.
**Translator's note: escalator school system is where there's the same "school" for junior high, high school, and college. Sometimes they start off in elementary school too. For example, Ritsumeikan College has a Ritsumeikan junior high and a Ritsumeikan high school. Usually people who start out continue to the next school in the system.
手越くんは、通信制を選んだんだよね。その理由は？
Tegoshi, you chose to do distance learning. Why did you decide to do that?
手越：仕事をしながら無理なく勉強しかったから、そうしたんだ。パソコンを持って行けば、ツアー先でも勉強できるなって。親には相談したけど、友達にはまったく言わなかったな。親は、｢祐也のしたいようにしないさい｣って。決めたのは、高2の終わりぐらいだったよ。
Tegoshi: I did it so I could reasonably study and work at the same time. When I brought along my PC, I could study during concert tours. I consulted with my parents about it but I didn't say anything at all to my friends. My parents said, "Yuuya, you should do what you want to do." I made the decision at the end of my second year in high school.
大学生活、楽しんでる？
Is it fun being a college student?
加藤：テスト期間中はテストのあとにみんなでランチしたり。ハンバーグとかカレーとかラーメンとかね。おいしいお店情報は、オレが調べてるの。
Shige: Whenever we'd have lots of tests, we'd do things afterward like go have lunch together. We'd eat things like hamburgers or curry or ramen. I would do all the research and find the good places to eat at.
手越：オレは毎日通うわけじやないから、しげほど楽しんでないなぁ（笑）。テストではなくレポートが大変だけど、仕事とかぶらなければ、まあ大丈夫。
Tegoshi: Since I didn't physically go to school every day, I didn't have fun moments like Shige (laughs). The tests weren't hard but the reports were, and I had to manage doing those and work at the same time. But, I suppose it's fine.
高校と大学のいちばんの違いって、どんなところ？
What was the biggest difference between high school and college?
手越：高校は女子高生がいる！あとは、体育の授業が必修じゃないこと？
Tegoshi: In high school there were female students! Also, I guess in college there's no mandatory physical education class?
加藤：お前、浅いなー（笑）。まあ、大学のほうが、自分自身にゆだねられるよね。授業も自分で選んで、自分の将来も自分で決めないといけないし。
Shige: Tegoshi, you're pretty superficial (laughs). Well, in college, you're forced to be on your own, right? You choose your classes yourself and you have to decide your own future.
手越：どんな道を選んでも、自分が納得してがんばれることが大事じゃないかな。
Tegoshi: Whichever path you choose, isn't it difficult to try your best and be satisfied at the same time?
加藤：と言いますと？
Shige: What do you mean by that?
手越：夢と優先しながら勉強も続けてる、っていうのもあるんじゃない？
Tegoshi: Don't think think it's hard to balance your dreams and your priorities while continuing your studies?
加藤：そうだね。あとは友達が増えたのも大学生になってよかったって思う。いろんな人の話が聞けるのはおもしろいよ。それに、去学部で勉強したことがドラマ『ホカベン』で新人弁護士役を演じたときに活かせたのもよかった。
Shige: I see what you mean. Also, I'm happy I became a college student because I've made a lot more friends. It's interesting to be able to listen to different people's stories. Moreover, I'm glad I could capitalize on my role as a rookie lawyer in the drama "Hokaben" while studying as an undergraduate student.
出会い＆別れの季節。
入学式＆卒業式の思い出教えて！
It's the season for meetings and partings.
Tell us your memories of entrance and graduation ceremonies!
もし今の仕事をしてなかったら、やってみたいバイトってある？
If you weren't doing your current work, would there be a part-time job you'd like to try?
手越：自分でシフトを決められるバイトは、うらやましい。友達に「遊ぼう」って誘われたときに、「今日、シフト入っちゃってるんだよね」とか言ってみたい（笑）。「時給はいくら？」とか「夜中のほうが、時給高ぇじゃん？」みたいな会話をしたことがないから、してみたいんだよね。
Tegoshi: I'm envious of jobs where you can choose your own shifts. Then when my friends invite me places, saying, "Let's play!" I could say things like "Sorry, I chose to have my shift today" (laughs). Since I don't have conversations like, "How much are your wages?" or "Aren't wages higher at night?" I'd like to try and have them someday.
加藤：オレは本屋さんがいいなぁ。コーヒーショップでカフェラテとか作ってるオレ、っていうのもいい！あと大型CDショップ。あの制服のTシャツを着てみたいんだよね。
Shige: I think being the owner of a bookstore would be nice. It would also be nice to work at a coffee shop and make things like café au lait. I'd also work at a large-scale CD store. I want to wear one of those work uniform shirts.
ちょうど卒業式＆入学式のシーズンだけど、2人の思い出しを教えて！
Right now it's graduation and entrance ceremony season, so please tell us your memories of those!
手越：入学式は親と行ったよ。
Tegoshi: I went to the entrance ceremony with my parents.
加藤：オレはひとりで行ったけど、入学式のときは席が足りなくて入れなくて、外で待ってた気がする。卒業式でも「満席だから外で待ってて」って、言われたらどうしよう!?
Shige: I went by myself, but at the entrance ceremony they didn't have enough seats, so I had a feeling I'd have to wait outside. At the graduation ceremony too, if they said "it's a full house, so wait outside," what would I do!?
手越：そうだったの!?オレは、高校の卒業式では『仰げば尊し』を歌いながら、泣いたね。 オレ、中1から私立に通ってて、親が毎朝オレより早起きして、弁当作ってお送り出してくれたことを思い出して、リアルに泣きました。6年間ありがとう！って。
Tegoshi: Is that how it was!? For me, at my high school graduation ceremony, while we were singing "Aogeba Toutoshi (graduation song)," I cried. I remember from my first year in junior high when I started commuting to a private school, every morning my parents would wake up earlier than me, make a box lunch, and send me off with it. Now I cry remembering it. Thank you for those 6 years!
加藤：本当に?
Shige: Really?
手越：マジで。式のときに、最前列で泣いちゃったのは事実なの。
Tegoshi: Seriously. At my ceremony, I really did cry in the front row.
加藤：へぇー、そうだったんだ。オレはみんな大学に行くっていうのもあったけど、普通だったなー。
Shige: Ah, I see. I was telling everyone I'd be going to college, but it seemed normal to me, I guess.
大学生活も残り1年だよね。やっておきたいことってある？
You only have one year left in college. Are there any things you want to do during that time?
手越：オレにとって仕事ってすごく大事なものだし、常に全力でいきたいから、それに合わせた自分のペースで勉強していきたいな。
Tegoshi: For me, work is incredibly important, and I always want to do my best, and also I want to study at my own pace.
加藤：オレは、あと2単位だから余裕！友達のノートには、かなり助けてもらってるよ。卒業したとたん、みんなと急に会わなくなるのはイヤだから、そうならないように学生の今のうちに友達との絆をちゃんと深めておきたいな。4年生になると就職が決まって、みんな旅行に行くから、すべての旅行に首つっこんでいきたいね！
Shige: I still have have two more units to complete so I need time for that! My friends support me considerably through notes. When I graduate, I know I won't be able to see my friends at all, so I want to deepen my relationships with them. We'll become 4th year students and decide our careers, and everyone will go on trips I want deepen my friendships on all those trips!
