Tensei Tora-go | That Back Does Not Lie

There are many people in the city chasing their dreams. Novelists, comedians, musicians, actors, voice actors, models. After finishing their part-time jobs, they head to theaters, enter studios, or stand on the street. Everyone is working hard. ...Or so they should be.

I can somehow tell who might make it and who will probably just fade away. That difference appears in places that have nothing to do with their dreams.

Take a part-time job, for example. If you think, 'It's just a part-time job anyway,' your sloppy work ethic will show in your back. Dreamers are already prone to taking sudden time off, aren't they? That is why you must be sincere, even if it is just a part-time job.

It's fine to strut around saying, 'I'm chasing my dreams,' but that's just using your dream as an excuse. People who are serious are always aware that they are being watched, and they know that there are opportunities everywhere. The stage is not the only place where the real performance happens.

Dreams aren't as glamorous as people say. They are a accumulation of plain, troublesome, unrewarding, and foolish days. That is why you must work hard, no matter how trivial the job is. You're working that part-time job for your dream, aren't you? If you cut corners on that trivial job, there is no way your so-called 'real performance' will ever shine.

Wake up. Those who cannot turn 'just a part-time job' into 'a meaningful part-time job' don't even have the qualifications to climb the stairs toward their dreams. There is no way you can seriously chase a dream. Everyone who has achieved their dreams is someone who was foolishly earnest and never cut corners, even in the grittiest of places.
