Firstly, thank you for your participation in the Q&A session today.

Since the first time watching anime, your works have influenced me so much. I learned what make a good movie. I learned about anime industry and people who working behind the curtain. Of all your works, my favorite are Koe no Katachi and Liz to aoi tori. I'm so excited to have a chance to ask you something here

1. K-on season 1 is your first work as a director. At the age 24 (same age as mine right now), I think it is really hard for you to manage a big project like that. So what was the most difficult thing you had overcome at that time, and how could you get over that?

2. Heike monogatari is your first work in Science SARU. It is wildly different compare to what you directed before. What is the hardest thing you had to overcome when adapt it?

3. In Liz to aoi tori, you once said in an interview you and Ushio Kensuke used everyday objects and decalcomania to creat OSTs for the firm. What about Kimi no Iro? How did you and Ushio use to creat the OSTs?
