Photo Exhibition
An Animal Town...
Animal Calendar?
Yes!
Every year, we hand one out to everybody.
It's all the Mayor's idea!
That's right.
See? Just like this.
Wow, how lovely!
Ain't it though?
As you are already aware,
Many different animals live here in Animal Town!
Doggies!
Rabbits!
Kitties!
And so, I want a professional cameraman such as yourself to take pictures of all those animals!
Will you accept?
Yes, gladly.
I am deeply moved, and deeply grateful!
Isn't this great, Mr. Mayor?
Wan!
Well then, good day! Thank you again for taking up my offer!
La-la-la, la-la~
Animal Town, huh...
What sort of photos can I take here?
Hey Papa! If it's alright by you, we'll show you around town!
You will?
I want to watch you work again!
And there are so many pets around town that I'd love to introduce you to!
What do you think?
Sounds great then, please do.
Sure! Leave it to us!

Okay, everyone! Thanks again for today.
Sure thing!
Sure am glad to have so many helpers!
Komugi-chan, how've you been?
Super! Komugi is doing great! Always great!
Yuki's doing great too!
Yes yes, very great.
Yuki! I finally get to see you in human form!
I heard all about it from Mama, and I just couldn't wait to see you for myself!
Oh boy though... Whether cat or girl, our little Yuki is such a beauty!
A photo, if I may?
No.
Aw, come on, just one! Please?
No. Way.
Then take one with both of us!
Eh?
Ohh I see, you just wanted to be together with your pal, huh?
Wha!?
You two sure are close!
Ehehe~
W-well, I suppose...
Alright. So where should we start?
Let's see...
How 'bout the shopping district? They've got a ferret mascot there!
'Round this time at the Kameyama house, you can see their red-eared slider sunbathing!
That reminds me. Ikari-kun has a miniature pig at his place!
He sure does! It's so adorable, isn't it?
Ooh, I know!!
Okay, so...
Pigeons!
They're all over the park. So cute!
Lots of recommendations, I see.
I do want to make it around to a variety of places...
How about starting over at Kaihin Park?
There'll be plenty of doggies there, and it's close to both the sea and lake.
Good idea. Let's give it a shot.
Give it a shot!
We made it to the park!
Wonder who's gonna play with me today?
That's not why we're here, you know...
Ehehe~
I can't wait to see what kind of photos we get!
Yeah!
Excuse me, Takayuki-san. What is your usual process for taking animal photographs?
Oh, I wanna know that too!
It's pretty hard to photograph something if it's moving...
Got that right.
In nature, animals are always on the move, or trying their best to hide.
The best thing to do is prepare a good location in advance, and then wait there patiently.
Day after day...
No matter the rain or wind, one must lie in wait...
For the perfect moment to arrive.
So cool...
What do you mean by the perfect moment?
It's a bit hard to describe in words, but...
I suppose it's like a moment in time that you want to treasure.
Once I see a moment like that reflected in my lens...
Oh?
My fingers take over, and the shutter is released.
Iroha!
Please excuse me! I took your photo without asking.
That's quite alright.
Go right ahead, and take as many as you like.
Been a while, Fuku-chan! Doing okay?
Yes.
Her legs are weaker these days, so we don't go outside too often anymore.
But we have such good weather today, so I tried bringing her out for a walk.
Aren't you glad to see everybody, Fuku-chan?
I'm really glad to see you too, Fuku-chan!
Pet Free-Roam Area
We'll be able to take plenty of great photos here!
Takayuki-san!
Everyone says they're A-okay with pictures!
Mayor Washio plans this whole thing, doesn't he?
Please, take our picture!
Thank you very much!
Okay, let's go play!
Shall we go on a walk too, then?
We'll be back in a bit.
Sure.
Okay Papa, where do you want to...
start...?
Mayu's papa is over there!
Ready for it?
Fetch!
It's race time!
Hey, wait up!
Daifuku! Want a snack?
He never lets a single chance escape him! What a guy!
Here you go.
Thanks.
Those were some pretty crazy positions. Some secret method of yours?
It's less about your position, and more your line of sight.
Hold the camera at the same eye level as your subject, and you can capture some great expressions.
See?
They're having a blast!
Here, I was able to get some interesting shots.
It's like he's flying!
If you bring your line of sight down, for a low angle...
Wow!
That looks so cool!
Ain't it?
Shoot from below, and you can bring out some major impact.
I see!
Okay, so at the same eye level...
You can capture expressions well...
And from below, bring out some impact...
You were right!
Don't you think that angle makes me look bad?
Of course not!
My Yuki is always the cutest, from every angle!
You mean it?
Yep!
Hey, Papa! You're not supposed to be taking pictures of us!
Sorry, sorry!
I loved that look on your faces, so I couldn't help myself!
C'mon, don't mess with me...
Ahh!
Okay! Let's get a move on!
Woah~!
Look at 'em all!
Seeing them here every year, healthy and happy... This is what I live for.
Glad to see you again this year.
Ookuma-chan sure is popular!
We saw the sea turtles come here and lay their eggs!
That must've been a magnificent moment to witness.
Yep!
No moments that amazing until next year, though.
Well, we'll just see about that.
What was that!?
That was...
A whale!!
Looks like this place is on their migration route!
Ah! It went sploosh again!
So pretty...
Lovely!
I heard back from Torieda-san, and Mr. Babazono from the riding club!
They're both on board for photo sessions!
You contacted them, too? Thank you!
There are plenty more pets to see here in Animal Town!
Adorable~!
It's my first time seeing a cockatiel so up-close!
I'm so nervous, having Pii-chan get her picture taken by a professional cameraman...
Your name is Pii-chan? Good afternoon!
She replied!
Those big round cheeks sure are cute!
She's pretty smart, huh?
Y-yeah.
She's cute, and smart... My pride and joy!
Hey, that tickles!
Next up is the riding club!
Yeah!
Oh hey, what's up?
Kani~!
Kanie-chan!
What're you up to?
We're taking photographs of animals for the Animal Calendar.
Ohh, that thing!
In that case, lemme show you my absolute faves!
Ta-da~!
The freshwater crabs, Zuwai-kun, and Taraba-chan!
Freshwater...
Zuwai...
Taraba...
They're new here. Kanie-san is taking care of them.
I just love crabs!
I'll take care of 'em, and cut no corners!
How nice. Let's get your picture!
Mr. Babazono is amazing!
So cool~!
Thank you very much! That was perfect.
Glad to hear it!
Shall we head back to the barn then, Bruno?
Haha! There, there.
Thanks again for today. I was able to get some really great shots.
I get it now, after going around to so many places.
There are so many different human-animal relationships here in this town.
They all think of each other, support each other, and depend on each other.
Each and every one of those moments was like a treasure. My shutter was open before I knew it.
Animal Town certainly is a splendid town!
I know what to say at times like this!
"Animal Town is wonderful!"
See?
Oh, I see! "Animal Town is wonderful!", right?
Yeah!
Oh, whoops.
I told Mama I'd go shopping with her later.
Can you all look over the photos, and pick out what you like?
Got it.
Thanks!
Wow... There are so many of them!
How are we going to narrow them down?
Let's just take it one picture at a time.
Ohh, this one!
That's when we did a race!
Wait a sec, one at a—
H-hold up!
Daifuku is just too cute here!
Like I said...
Ahh! This one's great too!
You guys!!
Calm down, all of you!
Ehehe... My bad.
What're they doin'?
Ooi! I'm here to play with you again!
This picture is really cute!
Oi! Listen to me!!
Look at this one!
Otsuru-san and Fuku-chan are all smiles!
You're right!
Ah, this one is all smiley too!
So is this one, and this picture too!
So many niko-niko smiley pictures!
Yeah!
All of these pictures really are lovely.
But all of the ones with animals and humans together are just brimming with smiles!
Ah, I know! How about...
Who cares about smiley stuff?
You straight up ignored me!
I'm really ticked off now!
Ah, it's Torame!
Hmph!
O black beast, cloaked in darkness!
Howl!
Gaogaohn!
Its body is all stripey and stuff!
That pattern... it's a zebra!
Gaogaohn!
Nice, Gaogaohn! Time for a race!
We gotta stop it!
Yeah!
Shiny Cats Pact!
Wonderful Pact!
Pretty Cure! My Evolution!
With sparkling cheeks!
And lips so cute!
This fantastic world that everybody loves! Cure Wonderful!
Let's play together!
This world colored with everyone's smiles! Cure Friendy!
Let me hear your voice!
This elegant, adorable, glittering world! Cure Nyammy!
What a handful. I suppose I can keep you company!
This tied, spun up, connected world! Cure Lillian!
Don't be scared, don't be scared!
Everyone together!
Ready, set...
Wonderful Pretty Cure!
Gaohn!
Gaogaohn!
Keep it up, Gaogaohn!
Wait up!
Stop right there!
Little more...
Gaogaohn!
Wahh!
Wonderful!
Nyammy! Front!
Looks like this won't be so easy.
As if you'll catch him that easily!
Go, Gaogaohn!
Gaogaohn!
Puni-Puni Barrier!
It dodged!?
Are zebras really that nimble while running?
It's getting away again!
I know just the power to borrow!
Friendly Takt!
Hooray! Hooray! Friendy!
Help! Kirarin Animal!
Lion!
Gaogaohn!
Gao?
Gao? Gao!?
Here we go!
Just try and dodge this!
Gao!?
Gaogaohn!
Wonderful! Nyammy!
Puni-Puni Barrier!
Nyammy Shield!
Ready, set...
Gaohhhn!!
Lillian Net!
Lillian!
Everything will be alright now!
Let's all smile together!
Niko's power, I grant to you!
Open! Niko Evolution!
Diamond Ribbon Style!
Even better friends!
Precure! Eternal Bond Shower!
Come here, now!
Welcome home, dear.
Hey, that was pretty fun!
See ya later!
After all that...
We haven't been able to choose any photos yet.
Think we'll be able to finish today?
Hey, what do you think of this idea?
I am... I am... truly...
So deeply moved!
This is positively excellent!
I'm glad to hear you like them.
Thanks to you, we've been able to create the best Animal Calendar the town's ever seen!
Truly! I cannot thank you enough!
What really made it great though,
Is the hard work that Mayu and her friends put in.
We worked hard!
Yup, yup!
Every last photo truly is lovely!
At first, we didn't know how to choose which ones...
But then we came up with a theme!
A theme?
Yep!
The theme is "Everyone's Smiley!"
We looked through all those treasured moments you captured,
And chose the ones where humans and animals are smiling together!
That was the best way to show off our beloved...
Wonderful!
...Animal Town! So that's why we chose it!
Is that so.
Yep!
I'm glad I accepted the offer.
I got to see how Mayu is able to smile every day now, even while I'm away.
And I couldn't be happier!
Papa...
