00:00BSTELT 25th Anniversary
00:10HAKUO! SAIGO!
00:15The Meimon High School.
00:17This time, we will visit Hongou Middle School and High School in Toshima Prefecture, Tokyo.
00:24This is a boys' high school with a record of passing the Nankan University entrance exam.
00:32What is the secret of its innovation?
00:43Six years of dedication to people.
00:47What is the lesson?
00:50I thought I had to be grateful to myself for my luck.
00:55It's a secret that you need to do it.
00:58Discussion among students.
01:01And what is the traditional number key?
01:06The camera is closely attached to the leader of the cheering squad.
01:09Hard practice to send out the graduates.
01:13But...
01:14But...
01:16It's suspicious because it was organized today.
01:20From the appearance of the leader who works hard for his seniors and juniors,
01:24I can see the reason why Hongou Middle School and High School are Meimon High School.
01:32The Meimon High School.
01:34It is a famous school in Japan.
01:44Toshima Prefecture, Tokyo.
01:54The Meimon High School is located in Toshima Prefecture, Tokyo,
01:58which is famous for its large commercial facilities and famous shops.
02:06The nearest station is Sugamo Station on JR Yamanote Line and Toei Subway Mita Line.
02:13Are you going to school from here?
02:15Yes.
02:16How far is it from here?
02:18About three minutes.
02:21Three minutes' walk from Sugamo Station.
02:24I followed the two students going to school.
02:31This is our school.
02:34Thank you for your guidance.
02:36This is Hongou Middle School and High School.
02:41It is a distance from Komagome Station on JR Yamanote Line and Toei Subway Namboku Line.
02:50There are 1,697 full-time students in the middle and high schools.
02:56From high school, students go to Tokyo University and Kyoto University,
02:59and go to four universities in the southernmost part of Japan.
03:02They take special courses and advanced courses.
03:07This spring, the number of university passers-by is 15 in Tokyo University,
03:113 in Kyoto University,
03:1386 in other national universities,
03:17365 in Sōkei Jōri,
03:20and 73 in Igakukei University.
03:23They have a high number of passers-by.
03:27In particular, the active pass rate of Sōkei Jōri is the highest in the country.
03:33In recent years, Hongou Middle School is a new school with a high number of passers-by.
03:41Why did you choose Hongou Middle School?
03:46When I looked around the school,
03:48I thought Hongou Middle School was the best for me, so I chose it.
03:52There are a lot of students,
03:55but there is a certain degree of freedom.
03:59I think Hongou Middle School is an environment where students can challenge themselves.
04:05The history of Hongou Middle School began in 1922
04:08when Matsudaira Yorinaga, the head of Matsudaira family,
04:11founded the old Hongou Middle School.
04:19He aimed to develop the best human resources in the country
04:22by providing an education that respects individuality,
04:25and to produce unique human resources that are useful to the world.
04:31World-renowned artist Takashi Murakami,
04:34gold medalist Kōsuke Kitajima,
04:38manga artist Osamu Akimoto,
04:42and many other graduates are active in other fields.
04:48Here are three people.
04:50Mr. Atsushi Eguzairu and Mr. Tetsuo Hara from Hokuto prefecture.
04:55Good morning.
05:01The security guards and teachers stand in line to welcome the students.
05:06The head teacher is on duty today.
05:09Good morning.
05:11In the education policy, there is a possibility of a life span,
05:15and we tell the students to make the beginning of the day important.
05:21There is a possibility of a life span.
05:26These three are the education policies of Hongou Middle School and Hokuto Prefecture.
05:31The basis of the policy is...
05:36In the 6 years of middle and high school education,
05:40the students should realize their abilities,
05:43and think about how their abilities and skills can be useful to others.
05:48And they should think about how their ability and skills can contribute to society.
05:53These are the messages we want them to think about.
05:57Now, let's go to Manabia, where the education policy is carried out for 6 years.
06:03On the right hand side of the school gate is the ground of the artificial island.
06:09Although it is a city school, it is larger than the army base,
06:13so you can play rugby and soccer.
06:19It's still 7.30am.
06:21It's early to go to school.
06:25The homeroom starts at 8.30am.
06:298am is the time to go to school,
06:35so everyone comes to school at the same time.
06:39They go to school at 8am,
06:41and use the morning time effectively for self-study and club activities.
06:49The classroom has become lively after everyone went to school.
07:00As soon as the bell rang, they stopped talking and quietly...
07:06Everyone started reading together.
07:13They read for 10 minutes in front of the homeroom in the morning,
07:17which is carried out for 6 years.
07:21It is also a morning habit to calm down and take classes.
07:28There are exactly 10 students reading.
07:33What do you think about the history of the artificial island city school?
07:37Do you have any interest in it?
07:40Yes, I am interested in making money by myself,
07:47and I am interested in club activities.
07:52Let's go out of the classroom and take a look at other facilities.
07:56This is...
07:59A full-fledged training room with a lot of equipment.
08:06About 1,000 people can use the moving seats.
08:12And this is...
08:14the library.
08:16It is a bright and open space.
08:22There are 45,000 books,
08:25special books for novels,
08:28magazines, and manga.
08:31Many people read manga when they are in the first or second grade of junior high school.
08:36When they are in high school,
08:38they often read the difficult books in the back.
08:42There are also red books to prepare for the entrance exam.
08:46Some of them were left by the graduates for their juniors.
08:52Next to the library,
08:55there is a learning commons for group learning.
09:00It is also bright and spacious.
09:06You can have fun studying while talking to your friends,
09:11and it is also used for discussion classes.
09:16When you want to study by yourself,
09:19there is a self-study room.
09:21It is divided into a space for junior high school students and high school students,
09:24and you can use it from 7 a.m.
09:27You can study in a place that suits your needs.
09:32One of the three educational policies is self-study,
09:36which is the main goal.
09:39The main goal is self-study.
09:43What are the useful items for self-study?
09:46This is a notebook for all the students.
09:49The main goal is self-study,
09:52so you can write down your plans,
09:55and you can also use it as a look-back for today.
10:00You can see the students' materials,
10:03their schedules,
10:06and their schedule.
10:12A notebook for all the students.
10:17You can write down your schedules,
10:19and you can use it as a look-back for today.
10:23It is one of the educational policies,
10:25and it is also a way to improve your daily life.
10:30The other educational policy is division and equality.
10:35After entering junior high school,
10:38all the students belong to a club.
10:4198% of junior high school students
10:44and 87% of high school students continue club activities.
10:50It is not just about rugby or studying.
10:55It is about being able to divide and equalize,
10:59and it is also about being able to study,
11:02and it is also about being able to play sports.
11:07To create an environment for division and equality,
11:10they make good use of the space in the school.
11:13On the 2nd floor, there is a baseball bullpen.
11:18On the 1st floor, there is a tennis court.
11:23Other than that, there are other activities,
11:26such as a sports club in the gym.
11:30There are also many activities in the culture club.
11:33There is also a unique club,
11:36such as the Japanese culture club and the technical club.
11:41I think junior high school and high school life is fun,
11:44so I will do my best to join the rugby club in the future.
11:49The cafeteria is bustling during lunch break.
11:53I'm waiting for my lunch.
11:55I'm waiting for my lunch.
11:57High school students have lunch here.
12:00Junior high school students can take out their lunch.
12:06There are four types of menus in the cafeteria,
12:09and they change every day, so you don't get bored.
12:12One of the most popular menus is...
12:16This is a large serving of curry.
12:18That's a lot, isn't it?
12:21Curry rice is served every day.
12:24This is a large serving of curry rice.
12:29All the students are eating well.
12:35Let's take a look at the classroom.
12:39Next, let's take a look at the classroom.
12:44Next is the 10th grade.
12:47I felt sorry for Imori.
12:50At the same time, I felt lonely
12:53because Imori died by chance.
12:56I felt lonely because Imori died by chance.
13:00Also, I thought I had to be grateful to myself
13:03for living by chance,
13:05and I thought I had to be grateful to myself for living by chance.
13:08The third-year junior high school students
13:11analyze the emotions of the people in the novel
13:14and present their opinions.
13:18After the presentation,
13:20the other students also express their opinions.
13:23I heard that Imori was grateful
13:26for being alive.
13:28I heard that Imori was grateful for being alive.
13:33However, he wrote on Page 205,
13:36about his construction,
13:39that he felt he needed to be grateful.
13:42that he needed to be grateful.
13:51In the end, he wiped out on his itself.
13:57There's something wrong with living by chance.
14:01I think it's better to take a picture with a stationary camera.
14:07Not only does it read the emotions of the characters in the script,
14:11but it also has the ability to convey its own opinion well.
14:18The lessons that students learn in a group discussion like this
14:22are also one of the characteristics of Hongo.
14:26And the key to Hongo's leading role is
14:31the Hongo Mathematical Basic Science Exam,
14:35commonly known as the Hongsu Exam, which began in 2003.
14:41This exam is held three times a year during the training period.
14:45It's a place to review what you've learned so far.
14:53The Hongo Exam is held three times a year,
14:57and unlike other regular exams,
15:00it has nothing to do with grades.
15:06It has nothing to do with grades.
15:08The Hongo students take the Hongsu Exam
15:10with their pride on the line,
15:12according to the teacher.
15:14It's not about how well you did before the regular exam,
15:17but it's about how well you did before the regular exam.
15:21If you compete with your friends,
15:23I think it will be a great motivation.
15:26The Hongsu Exam is a way to test your skills
15:29and stimulate your spirit of challenge.
15:33Students who have passed the exam
15:35and obtained the highest grade
15:40can take the Hongo Exam
15:43for the first time in their lives.
15:48The Hongo Exam is a way to test your skills
15:51and stimulate your spirit of challenge.
15:54Students who have passed the exam
15:57and obtained the highest grade
16:03can take the Hongo Exam
16:06for the first time in their lives.
16:10This is Aoi Yanagawa, a second-year high school student.
16:13He is the leader of the cheerleaders.
16:17The cheerleaders represent the spirit
16:20of serving people,
16:22such as supporting clubs and volunteering.
16:25The leader, Yanagawa,
16:27and his five colleagues
16:29are leading the cheerleaders.
16:32Yanagawa has a bitter experience
16:35before he became the leader.
16:39There was a difficult moment
16:42when I had to leave the committee.
16:45All of my colleagues were not there.
16:48I was alone for a while.
16:54Three years ago,
16:56the cheerleaders left the committee
16:59due to organizational changes.
17:03In the Hongo Exam,
17:05only one junior high school student
17:08left the cheerleaders.
17:12Yanagawa was left alone
17:15when he became a junior high school student.
17:18All the seniors who supported him
17:21all graduated this year.
17:24Yanagawa became the leader of the top students.
17:28I'm not sure if I was organized today.
17:32I was a little messy.
17:38Yanagawa is working hard
17:41to lead the cheerleaders.
17:45I want the cheerleaders
17:48to graduate without any worries.
17:51I want to be a leader
17:54who makes the cheerleaders feel
17:57safe and secure.
18:01Yanagawa wants the cheerleaders
18:04to graduate without any worries.
18:07Yanagawa is working hard
18:10to lead the cheerleaders.
18:14Yanagawa is practicing
18:17to be a leader of the cheerleaders.
18:21The boys' high school,
18:24Hongo Junior High School,
18:27and Koto High School
18:30are trying their best
18:33to make the cheerleaders
18:36feel safe and secure.
18:40What do the parents think of Yanagawa,
18:43who is trying so hard to graduate?
18:47I've always been a straightforward person,
18:50but I've come to realize
18:53that just saying the right thing
18:56doesn't make a difference.
18:59I'm trying to be a person
19:02who speaks from the other person's point of view.
19:05I'm trying to be a person
19:08who speaks from the other person's point of view.
19:12The cheerleaders have a lot of serious practice,
19:15but one day...
19:19Let's do it in one round.
19:23Ready, set, go!
19:29Let's do it in one round.
19:32What?
19:35What are you trying to do?
19:39The cheerleaders keep their backs down
19:42until everyone gets in a circle and goes around the city.
19:45Let's do it!
19:49The cheerleaders are smiling
19:52as they practice the game elements.
19:56I think it's good to put a lot of breath
19:59and make a loud voice,
20:02but in my opinion,
20:05I think it's better to make a quiet voice.
20:08The cheerleaders are being instructed.
20:12The cheerleaders tell Yanagawa,
20:15who is trying so hard to graduate.
20:18It's too close and too far.
20:21I'm not used to it,
20:24but it's not like I can't communicate at all.
20:27I think that's what it's like.
20:31Yanagawa was always alone when I joined,
20:34and he was better than anyone else.
20:37He's the only one who can do that,
20:40so he has to get better.
20:43But even with all that stress,
20:46he's still trying to lead his juniors.
20:49I think he's a figure that we have to aim for.
20:53For the unity of the cheerleaders,
20:56they face each other and practice together.
20:59Finally, it's time for the seniors to graduate.
21:04If I show them the best I can do today,
21:07I think they'll be relieved.
21:15Yanagawa wants to reassure his seniors.
21:19I'm looking forward to seeing how much I've improved today.
21:25It's time for the last cheer for his seniors.
21:31Yanagawa is working hard as the leader of the cheerleaders.
21:39It's the last cheer for his seniors on the day of his graduation.
21:45Don't cry, Yanagawa.
21:48And don't say anything.
21:51I won't say anything.
21:55Yanagawa and his seniors are united.
21:58They're a growing cheerleaders.
22:01Each one of them hopes for the last cheer
22:04with the memories of his seniors in his heart.
22:08In commemoration of the seniors' future achievements,
22:12we will hold a special cheer for the seniors.
22:18The leader of the cheerleaders is
22:21Yanagawa Aoi, the 8th leader of the cheerleaders.
22:42Yanagawa Aoi, the 8th leader of the cheerleaders.
22:55I was able to feel everyone's feelings.
22:58I'm proud.
23:01Yanagawa's feelings of gratitude for his seniors were well conveyed.
23:07It seems that he was relieved to send the best cheer.
23:11I'm sorry.
23:13I'm sorry.
23:15I'm sorry.
23:21I'm sorry.
23:26I'm sorry.
23:31I'm sorry.
23:33I'm sorry.
23:39I think I was able to send the best cheer.
23:46I hope we can strengthen our bonds by supporting each other.
23:52I want to be a cheerleader like that.
23:55I want everyone to support me like that.
24:00Hongo Middle and High School is a prestigious school.
24:05It was an education to think about what you can do, polish it, and train people.
24:16Tokyo Jogakkan Middle and High School
24:20It is a special English education that nurtures the power to grasp dreams.
24:24Rather than winning in English, English was necessary to realize my dream.
24:31A high school student aiming for the Junior Olympics in swimming.
24:34I definitely want to cut this year.
24:37Will that dream come true?
