-How it works is you're going to hit this button here which

activates the opinion topic generator.

It's going to land on a random topic.

Whatever it is, you have to give your opinion on it.

You ready? -Right away?

I have to give my opinion right away?

-I would like -- I would -- that would be fantastic,

but you can think about it if you want to.

All right, here we go. All right, go ahead and press

the button and see what opinion you're gonna -- what topic.

Yep. [ Beeping ]

[ Light laughter ] -Okay.

Bunk beds.

-Well, I have four kids, so we had bunk beds.

Because I have twins. So of course, I'm pro-bunk bed.

[ Light laughter ]

I like the idea that you can stack your kids.

[ Laughter ]

No, it's like a New York parking garage, you know?

[ Applause ] Yeah.

-A New York parking garage. [ Ding ]

- That's it, we're done?

-Yeah, that's the way it works. They ding it.

All right, let's give it another go here.

-I hit it? Okay. -Yeah.

[ Beeping ]

-Blowing kisses. -Blowing kisses.

-You know something?

I know, you didn't have to demonstrate.

I know what blowing kisses is.

[ Laughter ]

-I'm a professional. -I know. I know.

-Sorry about that, yeah. -I --

As a matter of fact, I kind of wish blowing kisses was

the standard because this way -- first of all, I'm a Germaphobe.

I mean, like at a party -- at a party, you got to say hello

to people. -Yeah.

-I don't know if you have gotten caught.

I've gotten caught in the -- is this a cheek kiss or is this

a -- oh, no, you got to feel it out, right?

-It's a fast decision, yeah.

-Yeah, you gotta kind of bob with the head a little.

[ Light laughter ]

And then, you gotta -- I've gotten caught

leaning too far, and then, you've got to go in.

You've got to go, and if she's not --

if she wasn't expecting it, then I got to whisper --

I got to come up with something to whisper.

Ah, the potato chips are stale, stay away from the potato chips.

[ Laughter ]

So I'm for it. [ Cheers and applause ]

-You're for blowing kisses. -You know what, if we could --

-That's better, it's an easier life if you do that.

-Yes, yes. -You know, I met Clive Davis

once at this dinner,

and I've never met him before I was with my mom and dad.

And I go, "I got to say hi to Clive Davis."

So I went over to say hi to Clive.

I go, "Hi, Mr. Davis, pleasure to meet you."

And he goes --

[ Light laughter ]

I go -- "does he want me to kiss him on the cheek?"

I was like -- so I go --

[ Laughter ]

And he looked at me like -- he goes, "I just couldn't hear

what you were saying."

[ Laughter and applause ] Sorry, dude.

I thought you --

[ Ding ]

Here we go. We've got one more here.

Here we go. Yeah, here we go, yeah.

[ Beeping ]

-Dogs. [ Audience aws ]

-I love dogs. -I have three dogs, myself.

Actually, we wanted -- one is gone now.

we have two. [ Audience awes ]

Yeah, let me talk about that.

[ Light laughter ]

I have a little gripe with the Big Guy.

If dogs are our best friend, why don't they live as long as us?

Why is their life span so short?

Somebody's -- He's got to fix that.

-Yeah. -You know what He should do?

[ Applause ] Yeah. [ Laughs ]

-He's hearing you right now. He should!

-Shave a couple years off the tortoise, right?

The tortoise -- [ Laughter ]

No!

-They live to long. I know, yeah.

-150 years!

[ Laughter ] -Just give a couple to the dogs.

-I'll bet he would be -- I'll be you the tortoise

would be for it, because... [ Light laughter ]

...he don't mind checking out a little --

What does he do?

He chews on a leaf for 60 years.

[ Light laughter ]

And then, he turns to the right. You know?

That's all he does. [ Ding, ding, ding ]

-That's all the time we have for "Wheel of Opinions."

-I like it! -Ray Romano, right there!

Jennifer Wants a Fresh Start | Basketball Wives - Duration: 3:53.

- Hi. - Hello, hello.

Hi, Jen. - You look pretty!

- Oh, my gosh, you're gorgeous!

- Hi. Nice to meet you. - Welcome!

- Come on in. - Thank you for having me.

I'm really excited to meet this relationship coach Spicy

because I need help in this department.

I'm making some bad decisions.

I want to have a healthy, functional relationship.

I wanna start a family. I wanna be

potentially dating the right person

instead of a bunch of ass[bleep].

- So you reached out looking for what exactly?

- I just got out of a really bad relationship.

And I just feel like I keep getting in all these

wrong relationships. - Okay.

- So I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

- I'm so happy that you took the assessment.

But I want to go over these results with you,

because I have so many questions

and because there were some areas of concern.

You showed signs of jealousy in here

or experiences in relationships with jealousy.

Is that something that is pretty recent

or past relationships? I mean--

- No. I mean I think in my marriage--

I was married to an athlete.

I mean, I think that right there alone--

it's like I had to deal with, you know,

the whole, like, groupie and other women.

I am definitely not looking to date another athlete.

I never had closure with Eric.

That's been a chapter in my life.

Did it, been there.

I feel like these guys are so young now, too,

like they chase some [bleep] all around.

I'm good on that.

- Was there something that has recently happened

or that is going on in your life

where your trust is now at stake?

- I've been in court with my ex.

- Mm-hmm. - I've been having some issues

with some friends, but...

God, it's just like don't wanna start crying, but--

- It's okay. It's okay, go ahead.

- My mom recently passed away.

- I'm sorry. - And, um...

my parents got divorced.

I didn't see my parents

have a healthy relationship growing up.

I do remember

my parents like fighting

in front of me. - Mm-hmm.

- I absolutely adore my mother,

and so to see her in that much pain,

it really affected me.

- It's unfortunate, because you're repeating the same

patterns of your mother and father's relationship.

That decision-making is showing up in your assessment--

your inability to pay attention

when the red flags are there or the signs are there.

- Yeah. You know, it's been difficult for me

because I kinda feel like

I'm kinda in this by myself.

- By "in this," what do you mean by in this?

What are you in?

- The world.

I never wanted to end up like my parents.

I didn't want to be alone.

That was one of the reasons I believe

that I probably stayed in my marriage

a little longer than what I should have.

But I do understand that

I need to make some better decisions

I can't dwell on the past.

I gotta set the model

for doing this [bleep] right.

You know, sometimes I deal with things, um...

not in the best way.

And I think it's made me, like, a little bitter.

For a long time, I was really angry.

- Mm.

- And I'm trying to get past that anger,

but... [sniffles]

it's been really hard.

- You know, you have to release other people

from your life that may be holding you down

and weighing you down

because it's affecting your current relationships

when it comes to your friendships

and when it comes to you finding a partner.

- Coming up on...

Lauren Miller Rogen and Seth Rogen's First Date Involved a Major Car Crash - Duration: 5:29.

-Congrats on the movie. It's fantastic, by the way.

-Thank you. Thank you so much.

-And I love the cast.

-I know, right?

-And, of course, you know, I love your husband.

-I love him too.

-Seth Rogen. He's one of my favorites.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-He's one of my favorites as well.

I love him, too! -You love him, too?

-I'm going to keep him around.

-How is he like?

What's it like being married to Seth Rogen?

-It's a real bummer, you know?

-Yeah. [ Laughter ]

No laughs.

-He's not funny. He's not kind.

No, he's amazing.

He's my favorite human in the whole world.

He's funny. He's sweet.

You know, I feel very lucky every day.

-Where did you meet? Where did you guys meet?

-You know, nothing that crazy.

My friend was dating his friend. We went to a party one night.

Nothing that exciting.

Although on our first date, we went and played mini golf,

and then got in a major car accident on a freeway.

-No.

-A 16-year-old had stolen his dad's car.

Yes. And hit us. Drove off.

We spun across three lanes of traffic.

He totaled his car. -What?

-My roommate had to come drive him home.

And that was our first date.

-And that was Ray Romano's son. Greg Romano, yeah.

[ Laughter ]

Unbelievable. Reckless. Doing too much math in his head.

[ Applause ]

But now, you guys -- you did a great thing on Netflix.

I loved it. It's called "Hilarity for Charity."

-Yeah, thank you.

-And you raised over $10 million.

[ Cheers and applause ] -Not that night, but yes.

-Since you started.

-But since we started "Hilarity for Charity,"

yes, we raised $10 million

to help against the fight against Alzheimer's disease.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-And what is the -- That's fantastic.

And what is the connection there?

-Well unfortunately, my mom, Adele,

was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease

when she was 55 years old and I was 25.

And, you know, we spent a couple of years feeling as we should,

very depressed and angry and just completely hopeless.

And then, we realized,

"Oh, wait, we have a voice that we could use."

And so, we started throwing variety shows

and created an organization which gives young people a voice

in a disease where they didn't really have one before.

And, like you said, in 10 years, we've raised over $10 million.

We award at-home care to people who can't afford it.

We've given away over I think close to 250,000 hours

of free at-home care to people. [ Applause ]

-Thank you for doing that.

-Thank you. -Thank you. Good for you.

-It's an honor to do it, honestly.

It's made me feel so good

about something that made me feel so bad.

-I want to hear about your dad a little bit too

because he sounds like a character.

-He is a character. He's really funny.

You know, he's honestly why we're sitting here,

'cause he is a huge movie fan,

and gave me sort of my love of movies growing up.

We had a closet in our TV room. We had, like, a TV room

full of 500 VHS tapes that he had illegally, of course,

recorded from VCR to VCR, movies.

-He could do that?

-Oh, yeah, we had like --

we were like the neighborhood Blockbuster.

-People would come and rent out movies.

-My friends would come --

We had a booklet that was alphabetized and numbered.

All the VHSes had little -- had masking tape numbers on them.

Just like the video store.

And, like, you would come in

and you'd borrow "Back to the Future" or whatever.

And then we returned them.

Thank God my dad didn't go to jail for something

that was clearly very illegal.

-Of course. Very illegal, yeah.

-And no, he showed me lots of movies.

-He loves movies.

He lives in Hollywood now, right?

-Yes, so since we live in L.A. and to help take care of my mom,

we've since moved him out to Los Angeles.

And so, now, he's in movie mecca, and he's so happy.

His favorite stop, I have to say,

is Madame Tussauds, the wax museum.

-That is the greatest thing ever.

I love this story, but he goes --

-Okay, so he went -- So, he's a huge James Bond fan.

I don't know if anyone's ever been to

the Madame Tussauds museum.

-It's amazing.

-But they have every James Bond.

They're all standing there.

So he was like, "I'm going to go

take a photo with the James Bonds."

That's my dad impression. That's not what he sounds like.

[ Laughter ] And so, he went.

I'm not joking. He put on a tuxedo.

He was like, "I'm gonna bring my martini glass

and my fake gun and go take a photo."

We're like, "Please don't bring your gun."

Please, if you're gonna go do it --

-Dad, don't bring your gun.

-If you're gonna go do it, that's fine.

Just, God, please don't bring the gun.

-Bring a gun to the wax museum?

-But he went, he literally -- he went and brought a friend,

dressed up in his tuxedo, brought a --

You got the photo.

-He brought a martini. -Brought a martini glass.

-Look at this. -You guys, this is my dad.

-He's the new James Bond.

[ Cheers and applause ]

That is the best ever.

-Wait, and, like, the squint on his face.

Like, he's really, like -- -He's really into it.

He's really into it.

He's got to be proud of you

for writing and directing this movie.

-He is kvelling all over the place.

He called me crying this morning.

He got into the car the other day

after reading a review, crying.

-It's getting great reviews.

-He's very proud.

-It's called "Like Father." -"Like Father."

-Kristen Bell. Kelsey Grammer.

And you met Kelsey on "Neighbors 2"?

-Yeah. He plays Chloe Moretz's dad in "Neighbors 2,"

so I just happened to be on set that day.

I didn't meet him, but I was, like, watching at the monitors,

and he was so funny, like, unbelievably funny,

that I was watching him and I was like, "Oh, is he Harry?"

And then, when we sat down, not only is he's funny,

but we were like five minutes into our conversation,

and he like teared up because he's so emotional.

His words, he has many wells, he says.

And so, he just gave so much of himself to this character.

Very beautiful performance.

-You did a great job on this. -Thank you.

-You knocked it out of the park. Congratulations.

-Thank you.

-Do you want to describe what the film is about?

-Yes. "Like Father" is about a woman

who gets left at the altar.

And her dad, who she has not seen

since she was five years old, comes to find her.

One thing leads to the next,

and they end up on her honeymoon,

which is, of course, a cruise.

Ewan McGregor Reveals Christopher Robin's Movie Magic - Duration: 6:45.

-Our first guest tonight is a Golden Globe-winning actor

you know from such films as "Moulin Rouge!"

and the "Star Wars" prequels

as well as his Emmy-nominated work in the FX series "Fargo."

He stars in "Christopher Robin", which is in theaters tomorrow.

Let's take a look.

-This place is very big.

Do you live here all alone?

-Just now, yes, but usually, no.

My wife and daughter

are in the countryside for the weekend.

-Well, why -- [ grunts ] -- aren't you with them?

-Well -- [ Sighs ]

-Sticky business.

-I had to say for work.

Why are you here and not in the forest with your friends?

That's the question.

-Well, I couldn't find anybody.

I couldn't find anyone, either.

And I looked for them both --

Hello? -[ Sighs ]

Piglet? Eeyore?

Tigger?

Where is everybody?

-Exactly. Where is Tigger or Kanga or Roo?

-That's why I'm here.

-Please welcome back to the show Ewan McGregor, everyone!

[ Cheers and applause ]

♪♪

♪♪

-So lovely to have you back.

-I'm glad to be here. Very nice.

-This is very exciting, you are --

For those who couldn't figure it out from the clip...

-Yeah.

-...you're an adult Christopher Robin.

-Yes. A grown-up Christopher Robin.

-That's very exciting. -Yeah, it's nice.

It's nice to take someone that we know iconically like that,

like, a young -- I've done it the other way.

In the "Star Wars" films, I took an older character,

who was iconic, and tried to play him as a younger man.

And this time, it's the reverse.

-Yeah, that's -- -Yeah.

-You'll have to let me how this one works out for you.

-Yeah, we'll see. We'll see how it goes.

-And, obviously, an incredible amount of CGI in this film.

-Yes. Well, yes.

It's so funny, because I remember it like that.

Like, I remember, we had a little Winnie the Pooh

who was like a Teddy bear.

He wasn't a puppet or he wasn't animated in any way.

-'Cause you couldn't get the real Winnie the Pooh, right?

He turned down the project. -He was too -- Yeah.

-Yeah. -He was too expensive.

-Yeah, of course. -That's the problem.

But we had this little Teddy bear,

and then, a Teddy bear for each of the creatures.

And Marc Forster, our brilliant director,

cast this group of enthusiastic young actors,

most of them just out of drama school,

to play each of the creatures.

So when we were playing a scene,

you know, they would be there with the Teddy bear.

They'd move him around and do the voice

and act with us in the scenes.

And then improvise.

We wanted to go away from the text and improvise.

They would improvise with us, and they were brilliant.

And I got used to his little face,

because he looked just like that.

I mean, it was like acting with a little bear.

-Yeah. [ Laughter ]

-So when I watched the film for the first time, I sort of --

I kept having to remind myself that he wasn't there on the day.

[ Laughter ] -Right, yeah.

-'Cause it's just sort of how I remember it.

And because we know the characters so well,

I could imagine how he might be.

But they did him so beautifully.

-It's really wonderful. And the voice is someone

who voiced him in the 1980 "Winnie the Pooh" cartoons.

-Jim Cummings. -Yeah, which is incredibly nice

to hear such a familiar voice.

It would be weird

if Winnie the Pooh sounded different.

-Someone else, yes. -If he had, like,

a thick New York accent, it would be a huge --

[ Laughter ]

-Or Scottish. -Yeah, Scottish, yeah.

-[ Scottish accent ] Christopher!

Christopher Robin!

-[ Scottish accent ] Get your head out of your ass!

[ Laughter ]

-[ Normal voice ] That was very good.

-[ Normal voice ] Oh, thank you very much.

I can't believe I had the nerve to do my B-minus

Scottish impression in front of you.

-That was really good, yeah.

-But now, you would think a child would be excited

to come on set and see these actors holding these puppets.

But some of the puppets

would maybe freak out a child if they came.

-Yes. We had --

The truth is, we had the beautiful finished product,

the lovely bear to act with.

And it was for the visual effects people

to see what he looked like in the light and everything.

But they couldn't animate him on top of that hairy bear,

so we had -- [ Laughter ]

I just said "hairy bear" on television.

-Yeah. -But we had --

[ Laughter ]

-A lot of people who were, like, in the kitchen

and had totally tuned this out, were like, "Oh!"

-"Wait a minute." [ Laughter ]

So they had a gray --

Just a canvas bear with no hair.

And they, I guess,

they would animate him on top of that gray bear.

But they also sometimes needed one without a head.

So you'd do takes with the gray headless bear.

[ Laughter ]

And then, there was a real horror show one

where it was just his torso -- no arms, legs, or head.

And it was like the Guillermo del Toro version.

[ Laughter ]

And then they had an arm on a stick, a Pooh --

A Pooh on a stick. They had an arm...

[ Laughter ]

...on a stick. [ Laughter and applause ]

And they had his little feet on sticks, as well,

for the little footstep shots and stuff so...

-See, that's all haunting. -Yeah.

-Although, they could use the torso and do a sequel

where Tigger comes and says, "Something awful's happened."

[ Laughter ]

-"I lost my mind. I don't know what I --"

-"I don't know." -"I don't know what I did."

-"I did something. I woke up, I did something!"

[ Laughter ]

Have you read the books? Is that something --

-Yes. I mean, I read them to all my girls.

The first one, anyway.

There's a series of four or five books.

But I'm familiar with the first volume.

And then I'm sure I must have been read it when I was a kid,

'cause I'm so familiar with those stories.

-And then this sort of --

this film takes place post-World War II.

And did the timing of when this was happening

inform how you wanted to play Christopher Robin?

-Yeah. I love that era.

I watched quite a lot film --

I watched a lot of early Alec Guinness films.

There's a great film called "Man in a White Suit"

that I watched. -Mm-hmm.

-And there's a British film I watched,

"From Here to Eternity."

[ Proper British accent ] And anything where everyone

spoke like that. You know.

-Yeah. -"Are you happy, darling?"

"Terribly." That kind of thing.

[ Normal voice ] And there was one film

that was very handy to me.

There's a film called "Genevieve."

-Okay. -Which was about

a vintage car race in the early '50s or late '40s.

And that one was -- the main character in that

is quite like Christopher Robin.

-That's nice that you got to -- that's a very wonderful thing

to be able to do research for your work

that is just, like, watching cool old movies.

-Watching old films. -Yeah.

-'Cause I grew up watching those old films.

And so there's -- I feel like I've been waiting

to play this kind of guy for a long time.

-When you were young and watching films like that,

were other people your age watching films like that?

Because that seems a little... [ Light laughter ]

-I don't think -- Well, I don't know.

On the weekends, on BBC Two, they'd have like matinees

on a Saturday and Sunday, they'd play two old films back to back.

And I would always be propped up on my elbows watching them.

But I don't know. I didn't --

-I do think that I, looking back,

I saw a lot of old films because there was nothing else on.

-Yeah. -And Netflix didn't exist.

-That's right. -Yeah.

-So you'd be like, "You tell me, TV."

[ Laughter ]

-Yeah, "What is it?" -"Yeah, it's up to you."

-"What's it gonna be today?"

Yeah, exactly. No, that's right.

Ewan McGregor Talks About Working on Stephen King's Doctor Sleep - Duration: 3:23.

-Your next project is gonna be this again,

taking a young character we know,

playing him as an older person --

Danny Torrance from "The Shining" movie,

the kid from "The Shining" book.

'Cause Stephen King wrote a sequel called "Doctor Sleep."

-Yes, and I'm doing that. -That's really exciting.

-Yeah, I'm really excited about it.

It's a great, great script, and Mike Flanagan's directing,

who's made some really, really good, scary horror films.

So it should be good. It's a wonderful story.

What will be interesting about it is that

there's "The Shining" the movie and Stephen King's novel.

And I don't know that Stephen -- You know, the story is --

he wasn't very fond of the movie.

-Right.

-And so it will be interesting to see --

'Cause this is quite a faithful adaptation

of his novel "Doctor Sleep."

But it will be interesting to see how fans of the movie

take it versus fans of the novel

and if we can please everybody.

We'll see.

-Or if you do it exactly to the book,

and Stephen King's still like, "Nah, I don't like it either."

Yeah. [ Laughter ]

But I'm realizing now, because I think last time you were here,

we talked about the sequel to "Trainspotting,"

which I loved so much.

But, like, that also was you

playing a character 20 years later.

At least it was one you played in the first case.

But this is, like, an era of films that you're doing now,

that you're taking young people

and just showing what they look --

-I'm the guy. -Yeah.

-"Play this guy older. Well, get him."

-Yeah. -"Get the Scotsman."

I don't know why that is, but I quite like it.

I mean, it will be interesting with Danny,

because, again, here, he exists in the novel,

so I have to try and get him right based on the novel

and Stephen's writing and the fans of the book.

And that's slightly different.

In this case, nobody really knows what

Christopher Robin was like when he was 40 [mumbles] years old.

And so it wasn't a pressure on me as such.

-I also think nobody really --

When you think about the "Winnie the Pooh" books,

you didn't really think about his personality that much.

-No.

-You know, you realize like, "Oh, it was more --"

You know, I think kids weren't like,

"Let's see what Christopher Robin was up to."

I think they were like, "Show me Winnie the Pooh."

-Yes, that's right.

He's sort of like the parent, in a way.

-Yeah, exactly. -It's lovely.

It's so beautifully written, the A.A. Milne books.

They're so clever, the way he starts.

He's writing about Christopher Robin

as if he's telling the story to him.

So he writes, "You did this" and "You do that."

And I was reading it to my little 7-year-old, Anouk,

recently, and she was like, "Who?

Who? What? Who? You?"

And I was saying, "No, he's writing it to you,

but you're Christopher Robin."

And it was really clever, because, suddenly,

the child is in the middle of the story, you know.

-That's fantastic. I did not remember that.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Now, so, you start the Stephen -- I'm sorry.

You start "Doctor Sleep" in September,

so you have some time off.

Have you done anything with your time off?

Have you enjoyed yourself? -I haven't worked since this.

I took all of this year off. -Oh, that's fantastic.

-And I've never done that.

And I just needed to, 'cause I needed to stop

and be at home, back in L.A.

And it's been great. Yeah, I don't know what I did.

I was very busy doing not very much at all.

-Is it -- So, if you look back at the year, you feel busy,

but would you say it's safe to say

you have nothing to show for it?

[ Laughter ]

Did you pick up a new skill? Did you --

-No. I just had a chance to try and hone some of the other ones

that I hadn't practiced very much all this time.

You know, I just found I was having time

to enjoy the things that I like to do.

You know I love old motorbikes and old cars.

And I got a chance to putter around in them

and spend time with my kids.

-That's good. That's perfect. I think that's time well spent.

-I do, as well. -Okay, excellent.

And thanks so much for being here.

約束の七夜祭り（やくそくのななやまつり）【XFLAG ANIME】 - Duration: 1:02:58.

I saw a miracle that day.

It all began when I got a reply to my message for the first time in three and a half years.

Sender: Atsushi Fujii How've you been, Shoma?

Atsushi? Sender: Atsushi Fujii How've you been, Shoma?

Atsushi Fujii

Atsushi, seriously?! Atsushi Fujii

Atsushi Fujii

Hello?

Shoma?

Atsushi?

Yeah, it's been a while.

Don't "it's been a while" me!

There's going to be an unusual festival here. Want to come?

A festival? More importantly, why didn't you ever get in touch?

I sent you a thousand texts.

Sorry. I really meant to get in touch, but...

It's fine.

Huh?

You reached out just now.

Thanks.

Anyway, how've you been?

Fine. Hey, Shoma, how about we meet up and talk a bit?

Yeah, sure.

I've been wanting to talk to you for ages, too.

Really? This is the way?

What is this? Is this really the right way?

Crap, there's no path. I'm lost.

Mom Kazu Home Atsushi Fujii Mom Koyama Bike Shop

Atsushi Fujii

The number you are trying to reach is not currently in use.

What? No way!

Wasn't this the number from last time?

Um...

What should I do?

If I get lost here, I won't be able to make it home.

It's pretty deep in the mountains... Where are you? If I get lost here, I won't be able to make it home.

Hey, Atsushi. It's pretty deep in the mountains... Where are you? If I get lost here, I won't be able to make it home.

No Signal

No signal... No Signal

You're right!

See?

That's how far the compass is off from true north.

That's interesting.

Here, it's all set now.

Oh, thanks.

What's this?

Starlight Pilgrimage

It's called Starlight Pilgrimage. Starlight Pilgrimage

What does it do? Starlight Pilgrimage

It's an all-in-one life support app.

Oh...

Starlight Pilgrimage

It's got all the functions you'll ever need, and it's all free. Starlight Pilgrimage

It's got all the functions you'll ever need, and it's all free.

It won't hurt to have it installed.

I promise it'll come in handy.

Huh...

How've you been, Shoma? This is the location of the festival we're meeting at.

What is this place?

Could this be it?

Starlight Promises

Um, are you all right?

Shiori?

Please wake up.

There's a hut just over there. Can you walk?

Yeah, I think so...

Ow...

Are you okay?

Huh? What?

Shh!

Shiori, where are you?

Um, you're not invited, are you?

Invited?

I'm sorry, who are you?

I'll explain later.

There'll be big trouble if you're spotted here.

Huh?

It's too late.

A kid? Er, what... Huh?

Wait a— Ow...

Isn't this kid kinda see-through?

Shiori, you are aware that allowing someone who is not invited

into this area, and trying to harbor them on top of it,

is against our rules, are you not?

Um, this is, well...

Please ensure that he leaves this area immediately.

Why are you see-through?

Due to administrative circumstances,

I've taken the liberty of using a hologram.

Hologram? Wow!

Whoa, what? I can touch it!

It's dangerous to touch it so carelessly.

If you will not leave voluntarily,

I will have to take steps to forcibly eject you.

W-Wait a minute!

What's all this about invitations?

I was just supposed to meet someone here.

I mean... my friend invited me to come here, that's all.

Invited?

His name is Atsushi Fujii.

He was the one who invited me.

Is he here already?

Atsushi Fujii? I'll search for him.

Search?

No one with that name has been registered.

What do you mean, registered?

Do you have to register for this festival?

I cannot give you an answer to that question.

Aw, what? Then can you tell me if this is the right place?

Place?

Yes, that is the correct location.

What is your name?

Mihara. Shoma Mihara.

Um, do you know an Atsushi Fujii?

No.

That's so weird.

I see. Shoma Mihara, I understand the circumstances now.

I will take care of the sign-up process for you, as well.

Huh? Is that okay?

There seems to be some sort of mismatch somewhere.

It's not a problem.

Shoma Mihara, welcome to the Starlight Festival.

My name is Kana. I am the director of this festival.

We would like to warmly welcome you as an invited guest.

Huh? Wh-What does that mean?

Also, Shoma,

it seems that you are the most suitable candidate for the role of the Cowherd.

What? The Cowherd?

What do you mean by "Cowherd"?

Shoma, your room will be prepared for you tomorrow.

For tonight, please use a futon here to rest.

H-Hang on!

Yes?

Is Atsushi really not here yet?

There's no point in me being here if I can't see him.

Please rest assured that I will look into that matter myself.

What?

Um, all right... Thank you, then.

Let's discuss further details tomorrow.

Shiori, please take care of Shoma.

Uh, of course.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

She vanished?!

What the heck is going on?

I'm not quite sure what's happened,

but I'm glad she'll be looking into the matter of your friend for you.

Uh, yeah.

It's already quite late. Please get a good night's rest.

Yes, Musuhi.

Please give me the information about Shoma Mihara again.

This is...

I see.

People's hearts really do work in most interesting ways...

Shoma.

Shoma.

Shoma!

See ya!

Atsushi!

Good morning.

I'm sorry. I did call your name several times, but...

Uh, g-good morning.

Are you all right?

Uh, yes.

That's right... I'm supposed to take part in the festival.

Oh, I have to look for Atsushi.

I'll get ready right away.

Let's see, where are my clothes? My bag should be somewhere here.

It's forbidden to bring personal belongings into this area,

Huh? It's forbidden to bring personal belongings into this area,

It's forbidden to bring personal belongings into this area,

so they've been placed under the care of the organizers.

Huh? No way. Even my wallet and phone?

Yes.

Is that going to be okay?

While you're here, you'll have no need for money or your phone,

so please don't worry.

Uh, that's not what I meant...

I've prepared your clothes for you, so please put them on.

Wear this Spirit Garment as underwear, and then wear these clothes over that.

Lastly, please wear this Spirit Cap on your head.

Spirit Garment? Spirit Cap?

Yes, they are essential garments for this festival.

Really?

Yes.

I'm sure you'll be surprised once you put them on.

I'm starting to feel like I ended up somewhere crazy...

Come on, Atsushi.

Did I put it on right?

Ah! Please put the kimono over it!

It disappeared?!

The kimono, quick!

R-Right!

You should have told me it turns invisible!

I-I'm sorry!

What's up with these clothes?!

Wow!

A place like this in the mountains, huh?

I feel like I've gone back in time.

That village over there is where we'll live during the festival.

Live?

Yes, for one week.

After all, people from all over the country are coming here to participate.

I didn't know there were festivals like that.

The thing at the top there is the shrine for the Kagura dance.

And behind that, the main shrine is on top of the mountain.

Wow, that's one impressive festival, then.

But if there are that many people,

finding Atsushi will be hard, assuming he's even here.

I just hope he made it here okay.

You're worried about him, huh?

Um, you're Shiori, right?

Yes. Oh, I guess I haven't introduced myself yet.

I'm Shiori Senozawa. I'm a freshman in high school.

A freshman? Me, too.

Oh, really?

I thought you were older than me, since you seem so calm.

I thought the same about you.

I'm glad there's someone my age here.

I feel a little more at ease.

Same here.

Oh, I'm—

Shoma Mihara, right?

Oh, right. I mentioned that yesterday.

Well, it's nice to officially meet you.

If you need help or have trouble understanding anything,

please don't hesitate to come to me.

Okay, thanks.

Oh, and we don't have to be so formal, you know.

Right.

Shoma, Shiori.

Good morning.

Don't just appear out of nowhere!

Good morning, Kana.

Shoma, I was able to find more information about Atsushi Fujii,

the one who invited you to this festival.

You found Atsushi?!

He's not currently here,

but I believe you'll be able to see him before the festival is over.

He's late? Give me a break...

What is he doing?

Well, I'm just glad you were able to reach him.

Also, I apologize if this seems sudden,

but I would like to ask for your help preparing for the festival in two days.

Um, I don't mind helping out, but could I get my stuff back first?

And if possible, I'd like to charge my phone, too.

There is no electricity in this village.

But what about your hologram?

It is powered by its own source from outside the village. You can't use it.

What?

As for your personal belongings,

the rules state that they are to stay with the organizers until the festival is over.

Thank you for your understanding.

Can I at least get my phone back? I want to get in touch with Atsushi.

It's necessary for a serious execution of the ritual.

Every participant has agreed to this.

Please understand.

W-Wait!

Come on.

I'm sorry. Those are the rules.

Well, I'll show you where you'll be working.

Working, huh?

All right, good.

We cut bamboo for the decorations...

make ritual wands...

And here, we make paper.

I can take whatever is done.

It's used to make lanterns that'll be set adrift later.

Can you hold that side?

This is the Kagura shrine.

They're preparing for the Kagura dance right now.

And that's my station, the weaver's room.

The weaver's room?

Wow.

Everybody weaves a little bit, and I do the finalizing.

Then, at the beginning of the festival, you and I will offer this to the gods.

Huh...

Wait, you and I?

Yes. Kana told you yesterday, right?

You'll be Hikoboshi, and I'll be Orihime.

Oh, you mean the characters from the Tanabata Festival?

That makes sense, then.

I'm glad, though.

Now that we have someone to play Hikoboshi,

the festival can take place as planned.

Isn't Hikoboshi an important role, though?

Yes.

Sheesh... Can someone who just joined in really pull that off?

Don't worry. It's the same for me.

I can't do anything without my Spirit Garment and Cap, either.

It's the same for everyone, actually.

Shiori.

Oh, I'm sorry!

I'll bring him to his station right away.

No, there is not much time left now, so please continue your work here.

I will take Shoma there myself.

This is the floating pier.

Floating pier?

It will be the dance stage for the festival.

Oh, really?

Yes, this will be your station.

Toryo!

Oh, hey there!

All right, take care of this beam.

"Take care" of it?

He means you should work according to the Spirit Cap's instructions.

Huh? This?

Whoa! What is this?!

Wait, what?

What's going on?!

Just follow the steps.

It's so light!

Oh, you're starting there?

That Spirit Garment of yours is possessed by a great master.

Huh?

Well, hurry up and finish the job, master!

R-Right!

Whew.

Spirit Garment and Cap link optimal.

Vitals have improved, as well.

Huh?

It means everything is fine.

Well, good luck.

Uh, right.

Wow, I'm moving! My body's moving on its own!

This is really fun!

It's so amazing that I can carry this by myself!

Sorry, did I interrupt?

You're a good dancer.

That was just thanks to the Spirit Garment.

Are you going to dance at the festival?

Yes, at the end of the festival, with everyone else.

Everyone? Even me?

No, Hikoboshi doesn't dance.

What a relief.

Apparently that dance is what will cause a miracle.

A miracle?

Yes, you get the chance to meet the person you want to see.

The person you want to see?

Like, they'll summon whoever you ask for?

I don't know all the details, either,

but that's the reason everyone here is participating.

A miracle, huh?

Well, I suppose if it's someone you thought you couldn't see,

then it would be a miracle.

I don't know if you can really see them.

For me, it'll be enough if I feel like I did.

I think everyone else here feels the same way.

I see.

Does that mean that's why I was called here by Atsushi?

Then why isn't Atsushi here?

You haven't seen him in a while?

Yeah, it's been about three and a half years.

What is that?!

What the heck?!

Whoa! This way!

What is this?

Are these holograms, too?

Is this related to the festival?

I don't know.

This is our castle.

Leave this place.

Ghost samurai?

Nobody told me anything about this!

Shoma?!

Shoma! Are you okay?!

Hang in there!

Shoma!

Kana?

Kana?

Shoma, Shiori, my apologies!

What is this?

My wound disappeared?

You weren't even cut?

Something's wrong.

I've detected an anomaly in the system.

Something unexpected is happening.

Virtual representations?

No, that's not it.

A bug?

What's going on?!

I will create some debugging tools in order to vanquish them.

What are you talking about?

Protect yourselves with those for now!

Get somewhere safe! Quickly!

Hey, Kana!

Shoma, this way!

There!

The light disappeared.

Kana...

Are you both unharmed?

Kana.

Kana...

My apologies for the extreme disturbance.

Wh-What just happened?

I believe it to be an error caused by some kind of bug.

Error? Bug? What does that mean?

You mean those things came from a computer?

What is this place?

This is too crazy!

Kana, are you sure everything is okay?

Please leave it to me.

That's not very reassuring!

I will patch the program right away.

Patch the program?

I am an AI system for directing this festival.

AI? AI as in, like, a computer?

So there's no person operating you?

You yourself are an AI?

Yes.

There's not a real Kana somewhere else?

Correct.

This is a virtual body for the Starlight Director AI Kana,

created in order to interact with the actual participants.

A-Are you serious?

Incredible.

But wait... Does that mean this festival is organized by a computer?

Yes. Everything is carried out by people, though.

That's not what I meant.

We can't just leave this crazy situation in the hands of a machine!

I am the only one who can resolve this situation.

I'll take care of it immediately, so please stand by.

Huh? Hey!

Kana!

This is insane.

If we stay here, we'll get caught up in something even worse!

Let's get out of here right now.

Come on.

Wait!

Shiori?

I can't leave.

There's a reason that I need to participate in this festival.

What reason?

There's someone I need to see.

What?

I told you that this festival is one where you can meet

the person you want to see, right?

Yeah, but if it's just meeting them, couldn't you do it somewhere else?

The person I want to see is my sister.

Your sister?

My sister who died two years ago.

Huh? She di—

Wait, what?

What do you mean?

You can't meet someone who's dead!

You can!

You can. That's what this festival is.

That's why...

That's impossible.

Come on, Shiori.

You came here to meet that Atsushi guy, too, didn't you?

I came here because I wanted to see him.

But I can see him somewhere else, too.

Listen, Shoma, try to remember.

Remember what?

Aren't you forgetting something really important?

What are you trying to say?

Nothing. If you don't know, never mind.

I'm definitely getting out of here in the morning.

Atsushi, what kind of place did you invite me to?

Shoma...

Shoma!

Shoma...

I'm leaving.

I see.

It doesn't make sense.

What's happening here, what Kana talked about... None of it makes sense.

I have to move away.

Move?

Graduation

I'm going to a private middle school in Tokyo. Graduation

What? N-No way...

Why did you keep something that important from me?!

I'm sorry. I didn't think I'd make it into that school, so I couldn't tell you.

What the heck?! We promised to do all kinds of things

together once we got to middle school!

I know.

Graduation

I want to learn more about space. Graduation

There's this thing called "aerospace engineering."

This is so I can get into a university where I can learn that.

That's...

You knew about this for a long time, then.

Graduation You knew about this for a long time, then.

Yeah. So I'm sorry. Graduation

Graduation

Fine.

Shoma...

Fine!

Go study and get famous, and go to space or wherever! I don't care!

Bye!

Shoma...

Are you sure it was right to say that to him?

Yes.

But he'll...

It's fine.

Now I can...

What was that just now?

Kana told me.

She said that you...

That it seems like you have locked away your memories.

This is just a theory, but maybe you were invited here to remember them.

Heave-ho! Heave-ho!

Okay!

Everyone, great work!

Thanks to your help,

the main stage for the Kagura, the floating pier, is complete!

Thank you!

Shoma.

It seems the place where

we'll present our offering during tomorrow's festival is ready, too.

It's at the top of that mountain over there.

It's a bit of a walk, but do you want to go check it out?

Whoa! It's so high!

We're so high up, Shiori!

It's all right. Our Spirit Garments won't let us fall.

That's not the problem...

There used to be a castle here.

I see. That's why all these stone walls are here.

This is where we'll present our offering?

Yes.

What the?! These stairs stop in the middle of nowhere!

Apparently, the water in this lake is the deity.

Huh?

The water in this lake is a god?

Yes.

We're going to welcome this water into the canal.

That's really something.

The preparations are finally done.

So now you can meet the person you want to see?

Yes, I believe so.

I hope I can see her soon.

What will you tell her when you see her?

Just one thing.

Just one? Why not more, since it's such a rare opportunity?

There's just one thing.

It's something I really have to tell her.

And that is?

Shoma, thank you for staying here. Really.

I didn't do anything special.

No, truly, thank you for coming and staying here.

Shiori!

Impossible.

This can't be.

This means...

Shoma!

Looking good.

Good luck!

You'll do great.

Thanks.

Do us proud.

We're counting on you, Hikoboshi.

I'm so grateful.

Be strong, now.

Shiori...

You look just like Orihime...

And you look like Hikoboshi, Shoma.

Really?

Well, it's time, so...

...I'll be counting on you.

Shiori, what was your sister like?

She was kind.

At home and at school, when she laughed,

everybody laughed, and when she was sad, everybody was sad.

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

How did your sister...

No, never mind.

I'm sorry for asking that.

It's okay.

My sister got into the high school she wanted,

so we went on a family trip to celebrate.

That's when the bus we were in fell off a cliff...

My sister protected me and...

I got hurt very badly, as well,

but thanks to the transplants I got from my sister,

I'm still here to this day.

I see.

But ever since my sister died, my mom and dad never smile anymore.

I see. That must have been terrible.

I can't even imagine something like that.

You were really close to that Atsushi guy, right?

Yes, but since we had our fight on the day of our graduation,

I haven't seen him at all.

But if those locked memories that Kana was talking about are connected to Atsushi,

then I think it must be something from even further back.

What on earth could it be?

Just once a year, those invited can meet a person they want to see.

A festival where miracles happen.

That's the Starlight Pilgrimage... The Starlight Festival.

When I came here, Kana told me...

Everyone who participates in this festival has a wounded heart.

Among them, the people with the kind of wound that's most difficult to heal

are the most suited to play the roles of Orihime and Hikoboshi.

So, Shiori, would you be willing to accept the role of Orihime?

Wounded hearts that won't heal?

Right.

That's why I figured you must also have a painful memory

of someone you really care about. And it's really weighing on you, just like mine.

Someone close to me?

Atsushi?

My memory?

Shoma!

Huh?

Look!

A castle?

Is that a castle?

A castle?

Could this be...

What? Another error?!

No way!

We need to tell Kana!

Kana!

Kana, those samurai are back!

You said you fixed the bug!

I'm sorry, there's another problem.

What?

I'm investigating right now!

Investigating?!

Those ghosts are the virtual representations of the warriors

that once lived in this castle.

Virtual representations?

What is that?

Musuhi is the system that designed this festival.

However, it was originally created for finding people.

Using data gathered from the app "Starlight Pilgrimage,"

Start Using data gathered from the app "Starlight Pilgrimage,"

it consolidates the users' "life logs" Start

it consolidates the users' "life logs"

and recreates their personalities as virtual representations in a virtual space.

By finding inconsistencies between the real person

and the virtual representation and fixing them repeatedly,

the system became more and more precise.

However, during that process, Musuhi acquired the ability

to approximately reconstruct data from its vast database for people of the past,

about whom the only existing records are writings and pictures.

People of the past?

Correct. However, these are not copies of personalities, but forgeries.

That's how, based on those false virtual representations,

the warriors who are intrinsically linked to these castle ruins

were able to slip through the gate between the virtual and the real world.

I was able to track down the root cause that opened a gap in that gate.

What caused it?

The reason for all this...

is me.

The interface for directing this festival, Kana, me...

I am the reason this happened.

What does that mean?

I myself am a virtual representation without a "life log" behind it.

I am a trial product that Musuhi created based on historical records.

Because Musuhi sent me into the real world for this year's festival,

it seems the gate's lock was compromised.

I don't get it, but I don't think this is any time for a festival!

Oh, no! They cut us off!

We will avenge our lord!

What is this?

Whoa, what?

I'm sorry for the delay.

Kana!

These tools are programs to delete these warriors!

What?

I have installed skills into your Spirit Garments so you can use them!

No way!

Shiori!

Begone!

What's with you guys?!

Bastards!

Up there?

Be careful! The floor here is a hologram.

Use the tree as footing.

Got it.

He vanished.

Shiori!

Shiori!

Shoma! Kana!

I will avenge my father and our servants!

Shoma, please keep Shiori safe!

Shoma!

Shiori, are you okay?!

Shoma!

Again? What's going on?!

It's gone!

Great!

Sorry for the wait.

Kana!

This place is dangerous. We need to get out quickly!

Now!

Hey!

Kana!

I'm all right.

Those things hold a deep-seated malice.

Malice?

Their lord was betrayed and killed, then they died when the castle was stormed.

That's the source of their hatred.

That's why they attacked us?

They don't understand the current situation.

I need to remove the original source data itself.

Musuhi! I'm going to create a regenerative patch derived from myself.

After that, I'm going to disconnect the system link.

What?!

What the heck?

What is that? What the heck?

What is that?! What is that?

What? What is that?! What is that?

What is that?! What?

What?

Everyone, please evacuate immediately!

This is an emergency!

Kana?

Kana?!

What did she say?

Please remain indoors until the situation is under control.

What?

Are we going to be okay? What?

Are we going to be okay?

Let's just run! Are we going to be okay?

Let's just run!

What about the festival?! Let's just run!

What about the festival?!

Everyone, please leave in an orderly fashion!

They're going to reach the village!

At this rate, the festival...

Kana?!

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Take this.

Shiori, please fire this at that monster.

But how?

Let your Spirit Garment guide your body. It will be fine.

All right.

Shoma.

Once Shiori has stopped its movements, thrust that sword into its core.

Core?

It's the heart, where the princess is.

Okay, I'll try.

It worked!

Shoma!

Right!

Kana!

Are you okay?

It was only a short while, but it was nice to have met you.

What are you talking about?

Everything is fine now.

You're going to go away? Why?!

It's my duty to see the festival to completion.

It's unfortunate that I won't be able to witness the end,

but I have faith

that you will see the festival to its end and begin walking a new path...

No way...

This can't be...

It can't be!

Are you sure it was right to say that to him?

Yes.

But he'll...

It's fine.

Because this way, I'll always be alive within Shoma's heart.

In Shoma's memories, I'll live forever.

Don't you think that's amazing?

Yes.

You're going to live forever.

From now on... forever...

That's right.

I'm going to live on inside all of you.

He died?

He was sick.

He never went to middle school and left to be treated somewhere with cleaner air.

You're joking, right?

Why would I lie about something like this?

I could barely believe it myself.

What? It's not a joke?

He seemed so full of energy.

Poor thing.

Let's go pay our respects soon.

It's a lie.

Shoma?

It's a lie!

Shoma!

Right... That's what happened.

I remember now.

The texts, the calls...

They were all being sent by the virtual representation Kana was talking about.

Shoma...

Atsushi died.

He died three years ago.

You remembered?

Yes.

I see...

We'll have to say goodbye.

This festival has a rule that you can only meet people within two years of their death.

That's why Atsushi wasn't supposed to be able to meet with you.

But it seems like Kana came up with something.

I see.

Oh! Mitsuru?!

Dad? What's with that weird outfit?

Wait, where are we?

Oh, did I...

Mitsuru...

Saki!

Naoto?!

Mom!

Taku?

Mommy!

Taku!

This is a reunion with the dead.

The festival of reunions...

Sis...

Sis!

Shiori? Shiori?!

Shiori, is that you?

Sis...

Kaori!

Shiori... You were okay, then?

Yes.

Oh... I'm so glad.

But what in the world are you wearing?

This is...

It's... for a festival. The Tanabata Festival, you know?

Oh, how cute. It looks good on you.

Y-Y-You know,

there's something I n-need to tell you.

What's wrong, Shiori? Is it something you have to cry like that about?

Oh...

Oh, right.

Sis...

I guess I really did die.

Sis, I'm sorry I survived and you didn't.

What are you saying?

I would've been sadder if you had died.

I'm so glad that you survived.

I'm sorry, Sis. I'm so sorry.

Shiori, you have to live a long life for the both of us.

Okay.

If you're reborn, you'll be my sister again, right?

Huh? You'd be okay with someone like me being your sister again?

Why would you even ask?

Sis...

Sis!

That's Shiori's...

Shoma!

It's you, isn't it?

Atsushi...

Atsushi, you...

You look so weird.

You've grown up.

Atsushi, what the hell?!

Why did you do that?!

I'm sorry.

You just went on your own and...

I wanted you to believe that I was alive, even if we never saw one another.

I did. I always did.

I'm sorry. I guess I actually made everything worse.

Sorry.

It doesn't matter anymore.

I guess you really did die.

Looks like it.

Kana invited me to this festival.

I'm glad I got to see you again.

Yeah.

Is that your friend?

Yes.

I'm jealous.

It's not like that!

Shoma, thank you for coming.

Atsushi...

I wanted to give this back to you.

Oh, you still had that?

I want you to keep it.

I don't want you to forget about me.

I won't. You're alive.

Forever, inside me.

[ Sniffing ] Wait. I'm sorry.

I could be wrong here, but I think I smell some smoke.

And that can mean only one thing.

It's time for "Ya Burnt"!

♪♪

Welcome to the Burn Zone, everybody.

We got a lot of topics to sizzle through,

but not a lot of time.

Over here is the burner.

Let's turn on the gas and load 'er up!

Whoo! Hot town, summer in the city!

First up, Shark Week.

I don't need a whole week of reasons not to go to the beach.

Here's my list -- sand. The end.

Also, Shark Week, if I wanted to see a bunch of dead-eyed

Side burn, Fox News.

-SIDE BURN!

-Seriously, why are we celebrating sharks?

They kill us.

Discovery Health doesn't have Ebola Month.

[ Laughter ]

Also, hammerhead sharks, what's up with that weird-ass head?

Did your mama drink while she was pregnant?

Shark Week, ya burnt.

Water skiing!

The good news -- your friends invited you out to the lake.

The bad news -- you're being dragged across it.

But don't worry. If you fall off,

I'm sure the guy driving the boat who just had six beers

will definitely notice you're missing.

Water skiing, you jumped the shark and now ya burnt!

Destination weddings.

Love weddings, but wish they were more expensive

and cost you vacation days?

Try destination weddings.

What's the party favor? Is it a bag of money to reimburse me?

No. It's a small water and a bag of Sun Chips.

Apple AirPods.

If I wanted to spend $150 on something

I'm guaranteed to lose, I'd just buy 150 ChapSticks.

Hey, also, everybody, when I lose them,

just let them be lost.

Stop trying to help me find them.

"Where were they the last time you saw them?"

"I don't know. Buying them at the store?"

Macroeconomic Policy: Fiscal & Monetary Policy 'Quick & Simple' Guide - Duration: 15:43.

Hi, welcome to this AccoFina tutorial. Today we're talking about macroeconomic

policy. We're going to give a very quick guide to macroeconomic policy, through

fiscal policy and monetary policy. Firstly I want to apologize if you

can hear construction noises in the background, I've got a building going up

nearby, and it's quite loud today! So I apologize if you can hear that. Okay, so what

are we going to cover today? We're going to talk about why we have macroeconomic

policies in society. We're going to talk about how we can classify different

macro policy directions. Then we'll go into fiscal policy, monetary policy and

have a conclusion & wrap up. All right, so first up. Why do we have macroeconomic

policies in the first place? So business cycles have occurred for centuries. They,

generally, began back in the 19th century and they have occurred all the way to

the most recent GFC, and Great Recession.

So between every 6-8 years, ah, we often go through a boom and bust cycle.

And these have repeating swings through prosperity, recession, depression and

recovery. Mow when we talk about boom and bust cycles, the economic indicators are,

generally: changes in aggregate output, employment, prices, and national income. So

that's like GDP, and the unemployment rate, the inflation rate, and GNI, or wages

and business profits, and so forth. We've had these repeating periods of booms and

busts, and so our societies and civilizations have organized to minimize

the impact of this disruptive volatility. And it doesn't take a lot to remember

the GFC, and how a lot of the world's population had a very difficult time

adjusting to this business cycle. A lot of people lost their jobs, a lot

people lost their homes, incomes (and profits) were low, wage growth has been low since.

The recovery has been slow. And that's just one example. It's been hard on, ah, on the

people of the world. So our societies have organized, and in

modern times, we've designated two main institutions that aim to minimize the

negative impact of business cycles. Now we've designated government's, to help

out with a business cycle, and they do this through fiscal policy. And we've

also created the concept of central banks, and they operate monetary policy.

So what are the goals of macroeconomic policy? This is kind of in colloquial

terms, rather than technical terms, but: We just want to try and make the good times

last. We want extended periods of high, stable and, ever-growing, prosperity.

And on the flip side, we want to ease the difficulty the bad times. We want to

shorten periods of recession, and minimize the need for harsh, and abrupt,

adjustments of its citizens. So kind of, we want to have 'soft landings'. It's when

we have to do things 'major' and 'very quickly' that it's very hard for the

population to adjust, and causes a lot of friction & unhappiness. So why do we

have these macroeconomic policies? To sum up: we have them to improve the quality

of life of citizens. A lot of people believe it's simply just about making

money in business, and the economy is simply about everyone getting rich, or

certain people getting rich, but the genesis of most macroeconomic policies

is to improve the quality of life of all citizens. How successful they are, I'll

let you debate, but they are the aims

Okay, so how can we classify macro policy directions? Now we're getting to some of

the more technical stuff. Now we'll either classify macro policies as

expansionary or contractionary, or even neutral. Now expansionary policies

encourage economic growth. They try to combat deflation

when prices are falling, or disinflation if it's accelerating too quickly. And

disinflation is when inflation is slowing down.

When inflation is still occurring, but it's occurring at a slower and slower

rate. And we'll also try and boost employment and

national incomes, through expansionary policies.

Well, technically, what these policies are trying to do is increase 'aggregate

demand' in the economy. All right so let's go to contractionary. This time we're

trying to slow, moderate, or stabilize economic growth. And we could also combat

rising inflation, and its negative impact. Now I'm not going to go into the

specific negative impacts of rising inflation, other than saying that they

are very very pervasive. And sometimes we have to moderate employment growth. We have

to stabilize wage growth, or the inflation that is caused by wage

growth. And it's the opposite to last time: we're trying to decrease, or

moderate, 'aggregate demand' in the economy. But this is an important note: the goal

isn't just to kill the party! The macro policy isn't trying to, like, make less

people employed, or less people wealthy, or slow the good times. The goal is to

attack the risks of inflation, and possibly even hyperinflation, and

minimize the chance of an epic bust. Now I'm sure a lot of us have heard that

the old saying, "The bigger the boom, the bigger the bust". So if things get out of

control, and we have a huge boom. Then we might have an even bigger bust, which will

be even harder to adjust to, when things eventually do correct. And, as I mentioned,

inflation can be very pervasive in the economy. It can destroy your wealth, it

can misallocate resources. We've probably seen some countries that have

had hyperinflation whether it's, historically, in Germany or, in modern

times, in Venezuela, where economies really do fall apart when hyperinflation

kicks in. We can't ignore neutral policy. The 'neutral' policy is kind of

like when policy setters think that we're either, in a sweet spot in the economy, or

what's termed a 'Goldilocks economy', after that old fairy tale where it's not too hot

and not too cold. Or we may just be in an uncertain period, and policy setters

kind of want to 'wait-and-see' before they make their next move. So they may wait a

few months or a few quarters, see how the economy tracks, or what previous

decisions, um, how they impact the economy ...and then they'll make

their next move. Now neutral fiscal policy is when this period's deficit or surplus is

equal to last period's deficit or surplus. So there's no aggregate change in taxes

or expenditure, (i.e.) or the balance of them. Now 'neutral' monetary policy is when the

'policy rate' is equal to the 'neutral rate'. Now the 'neutral rate' is: Real GDP at the

trend growth rate + the target inflation rate. And that's the formula

for the neutral rate, in regards to monetary policy. All right, so let's get

into the policies. What are the policy levers for fiscal policy? That's

right, it's "taxes and spending", which is a

famous phrase you probably heard of many times. So when we talk about taxes we're

talking about revenue. So revenue raised by the government, that forms part of

fiscal policy. And they can have direct taxes on income and wealth, so there we're

talking about our income tax, or our company tax, or even our death duties

or inheritance taxes in regards to wealth or even Capital Gains Tax (CGT), in regards to

Australia's circumstances. Now, also, there can be indirect taxes on goods and

services, and here you'll find your VAT in Europe, or your GST in

Australia and India. Okay, so the other side of the equation, in regards to

fiscal policy levers, are spending. That is, expenditure. Now governments can

introduce 'transfer payments', and these are just cash payments to citizens to

redistribute wealth within the economy. Other than that, governments can have

'current spending'. This is when governments pay for goods and services

to fund the government's, itself, and its services. Defense spending, or health

spending, or federal education spending or state education spending, these are

your 'current spending' categories. And finally, there's 'capital spending' and

this is when we fund infrastructure, or other long-term assets, to boost the

economy (productivity). They're things like governments building railroads or,

in Australia's case, government's building the National Broadband Network (NBN), or things

like airports, ports and similar sorts of things. It can also include more

intangibles, like if government invests in research and development, that could

possibly lead to breakthroughs in particular technologies. But just

remember, the three main expenditure items are 'transfer payments', 'current

spending' and 'capital spending'. Right, so how do we implement an expansionary

policy? In this case we would increase expenditure, or decrease taxes, or both.

What we're doing is: increasing the deficit, or reducing the surplus, and

thus, increasing economic activity. So if the government increases expenditure, its

spending more, and this would increase economic activity. Or if it simply

decreases taxes, while maintaining the same overall expenditure, so less money

has been taken from households and firms, they can continue to spend and it won't be

locked up in government coffers. And thus that will also increase economic

activity. And the opposite is for implementing contractionary policy. You

will decrease expenditure, or you would increase taxes or you would do both. And

again the opposite would result. You would reduce the deficit, or increase the

surplus, and this would decrease economic activity. So if the government spends less

or the government taxes more, without having a commensurate increase in

expenditure, then that would slow down the economy as there would be less

spending, less expenditure in the economy, less aggregate demand and less economic

activity. All right so let's move on to monetary policy. What are the policy

levers? "Interest rates". Interest rates are the policy levers, and the central bank

influences interest rates often through the money supply. So how are interest rates,

and the money supply, altered? So a central bank can set a 'policy rate' and

say this is what banks are charged when borrowing central bank reserves. So

private banks can often borrow central bank reserves at attractive rates, at which

they can then on lend to businesses and households, or firms and households.

Obviously, the higher the rate, the less attractive it will be for those banks to

borrow from the central bank reserves. And central banks can also conduct 'open

market operations'. And this is where they buy and sell government securities for

cash. And finally, they can set the 'required reserve ratio'. They can

determine how much banks need as reserves, and the banks need those

reserves, they can't lend it! And this, in turn, affects the deposit expansion

multiplier, which impacts aggregate demand in the economy. So how do we

implement an expansionary monetary policy? In this case we need to increase

the money supply, and assuming a stable money demand, interest rates will

decrease. And when interest rates decrease, borrowing & expenditure

becomes more attractive, and this should hopefully increase economic activity. Oh,

and there I just said it, the "impact is increased borrowing" and as a result,

"increased economic activity". Alright so these are the technical, ah, it's not that

technical, but these are how how an expansionary policy will be

implemented. Firstly the central bank could decrease the policy rate. They can

make it easier for banks to borrow from central bank reserves. So a lower policy

rate encourages banks to borrow from central bank reserves, and on-lend to

households and firms. Secondly, the central bank could buy securities in

open market operations. So the central bank could hand over money to the (commercial) banks

and other participants, which they can then on-lend. So they (the central bank) take

that piece of 'paper', the security, they hand over the cash (to commercial banks), and the cash

is on-lent and multiplies throughout the economy. And finally, it could reduce the required

reserve ratio. Central banks reduce the level of reserves need to be held by

banks, then these new excess reserves can be on-lent.

And that's kind of self-explanatory. So if banks don't need to hold 10% of their

liabilities in cash, but perhaps only 5%, then that other 5% can then be relent to

other households and firms. So how can we implement a contractionary monetary

policy? And, again, this is just the opposite. We would decrease the money

supply, and assuming stable money demand, interest rates would increase. This would

decrease borrowing, because borrowing is now more expensive with high interest

rates, and this would decrease economic activity. And implementing it is the

exact opposite to earlier. So you would increase the policy rate, or you would

sell securities in open market operations, or you would increase the

required reserve ratio for banks. All right, so what did we cover today? We

explained why we have macroeconomic policies in the first place. And that's

to improve the populations quality of life. Specifically, employment, stable

prices, and the general well-being of the community. How can we classify macro

policy directions? We can say they're expansionary and contractionary, and don't

forget, they can also be neutral. We talked about fiscal policy, which is

taxes & spending, revenue & expenditure. And we talked about monetary

policy, which is affecting economic activity through altering interest rates,

through the money supply. Okay that's it! I hope it helped.

have already appeared. You can watch another one of my tutorials now, or if

you don't want to do those, um, I'd really appreciate a 'Like'. And finally,

feel free to comment below if anything needs clarification, or you just want to

say 'hello'. As I always say, or try to always say, this doesn't have to be a

one-way conversation. Often I can explain things better in written word, when I

have more time to think about it, as opposed to speaking directly into a microphone on the spot.

So feel free to say hello, or ask anything. Ok that's it!

The Power of Music To Reduce Stress

The soothing power of music is well-established

It has a unique link to our emotions

so can be an extremely effective stress management tool.

Listening to music can have a tremendously relaxing effect

on our minds and bodies

especially slow, quiet classical music.

This type of music can have a beneficial effect on our physiological functions

slowing the pulse and heart rate

lowering blood pressure,

and decreasing the levels of stress hormones.

As music can absorb our attention

it acts as a distraction at the same time

it helps to explore emotions

This means it can be a great aid to meditation

helping to prevent the mind wandering.

Musical preference varies widely between individuals

so only you can decide what you like and what is suitable for each mood.

But even if you don't usually listen to classical music

it may be worth giving it a try

when selecting the most calming music.

When people are very stressed

there is a tendency to avoid actively listening to music

Perhaps it feels like a waste of time

not helping to achieve anything.

But as we know,

productivity increases when stress is reduced,

so this is another area where you can gain vast rewards

It just takes a small effort to begin with

To incorporate music into a busy life,

try playing CDs in the car,

or put the radio on when in the bath or shower.

Take portable music with you when walking the dog

or put the stereo on instead of the TV.

Singing (or shouting) along

can also be a great release of tension

and karaoke is very enjoyable

for some extroverts!

Calming music before bedtime

promotes peace and relaxation and helps to induce sleep.
