1: An animation company's bowling tournament. Harada has no interest in sports and looks bored. Around 1985 (age 22).

2: In front of the CG system in a TV station's news center. Before Windows and Macintosh personal computers became widespread, TV stations used large CG drawing machines (Shima Seiki SDS System). Even the storage disks were large, and the films were recorded on Betacam before being broadcast.) Harada created the short film "My Love" on this machine during his free time at work. Around 1989 (age 27).
3: Harada working on MIDORI. Around 1990 (age 28).

Left: A veteran projectionist who has worked at a theater that has been in operation since the socialist era. Socialist countries have strict standards for projection techniques and qualifications. It is said that one needs very good eyesight to become a projectionist.

Right: The manager of a 100-year-old theater. When Harada visited Zagreb, Western capitalism and neoliberalism were in the midst of encroaching on the city. The century-old traditional theater was on the verge of being demolished, large advertisements were put up all over the city, and overtime work increased. When McDonald's opened in Zagreb, the people of Zagreb signed a petition in opposition.
