      • Yôichi Akimoto: [standing somberly and contemplatively alone outside his shop] Here I am standing in the sunlight of a spring day. My name is Yoichi. I'm 20 years old. Don't I look handsome? I'm only kidding. You ask what I'm looking at? I'm not looking at anything. It doesn't matter. I'm busy working at my shop anyway.
