4
00:00:39,073 --> 00:00:40,374
This way.

5
00:00:41,141 --> 00:00:43,744
Chiro, come here.

6
00:00:43,877 --> 00:00:45,612
Suppertime.

7
00:00:45,813 --> 00:00:46,880
Come.

8
00:00:54,421 --> 00:00:55,722
Wait.

9
00:00:57,791 --> 00:00:59,460
Hold on.

10
00:01:08,135 --> 00:01:10,471
I’ll give you some later.

11
00:01:20,114 --> 00:01:22,216
Hey, you!

12
00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:28,688
The thief cat.

13
00:01:28,689 --> 00:01:30,022
Hey, you!

14
00:01:30,023 --> 00:01:32,960
Look. Come here.

15
00:01:37,264 --> 00:01:38,832
This way.

16
00:01:39,466 --> 00:01:41,635
Come on.

17
00:01:42,302 --> 00:01:45,105
Here you go.

18
00:01:54,214 --> 00:01:57,217
That cat steals the food.

19
00:02:00,154 --> 00:02:02,356
Chibi, come here.

20
00:02:06,493 --> 00:02:08,828
Isn’t he your cat?

21
00:02:08,829 --> 00:02:11,965
No, he’s a thief cat.

22
00:02:13,133 --> 00:02:17,004
He watches for a chance, and steals.

23
00:02:18,405 --> 00:02:23,242
So, I give him some food…

24
00:02:23,243 --> 00:02:26,579
…over there.

25
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:29,382
- To the thief?
- Yeah.

26
00:02:29,383 --> 00:02:34,220
Otherwise, he invades my cats' space.

27
00:02:34,221 --> 00:02:38,891
Everybody’s intimidated
since he’s a male.

28
00:02:38,892 --> 00:02:40,893
Where is he from?

29
00:02:40,894 --> 00:02:43,430
I don’t know.

30
00:02:45,466 --> 00:02:48,702
But I feed him anyway.

31
00:02:51,138 --> 00:02:53,273
It’s a problem.

32
00:02:54,208 --> 00:02:56,376
But what can I do...

33
00:03:40,087 --> 00:03:42,890
Good morning.

34
00:03:43,056 --> 00:03:46,693
Hello. How are you?

35
00:03:48,529 --> 00:03:50,997
Such a nice day.

36
00:03:50,998 --> 00:03:53,332
- Here’s his spending money.
- Alright.

37
00:03:53,333 --> 00:03:55,501
Where’re you going today?

38
00:03:55,502 --> 00:03:58,171
To a park.

39
00:03:58,172 --> 00:04:00,306
Sounds good.

40
00:04:00,307 --> 00:04:02,775
Get some fresh air.

41
00:04:02,776 --> 00:04:04,544
Shall we go?

42
00:04:04,545 --> 00:04:05,813
Yes.

43
00:04:08,115 --> 00:04:11,318
Let’s go to the park.

44
00:04:19,526 --> 00:04:21,728
Here you go.

45
00:04:29,837 --> 00:04:31,805
Let’s go to the park.

46
00:04:43,517 --> 00:04:45,219
Off we go.

47
00:05:24,391 --> 00:05:31,098
We’ll get to some open space soon.

48
00:05:46,847 --> 00:05:47,848
Coffee.

49
00:05:48,248 --> 00:05:49,882
- Coffee?
- Yes.

50
00:05:49,883 --> 00:05:52,485
OK, I’ll buy you some later.

51
00:05:52,486 --> 00:05:53,886
Coffee.

52
00:05:53,887 --> 00:05:56,055
Look at this.

53
00:05:56,056 --> 00:05:57,157
Coffee.

54
00:05:59,093 --> 00:06:00,894
Here's your coffee.

55
00:06:04,031 --> 00:06:05,032
Here you go.

56
00:06:05,365 --> 00:06:07,300
I’ll open it for you.

57
00:06:07,301 --> 00:06:09,369
Just a second.

58
00:06:15,809 --> 00:06:17,344
Oops.

59
00:06:18,011 --> 00:06:19,580
Don't worry.

60
00:06:22,483 --> 00:06:23,584
Let’s go.

61
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:27,788
Wear your hat.

62
00:06:39,967 --> 00:06:42,102
Are you finished?

63
00:08:04,985 --> 00:08:06,754
Hi.

64
00:08:14,928 --> 00:08:16,295
Thanks for coming.

65
00:08:16,296 --> 00:08:17,830
Good morning.

66
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:20,634
You shouldn’t, Ms. Yasuda.

67
00:08:24,538 --> 00:08:26,173
Sorry.

68
00:08:31,078 --> 00:08:34,080
How’s your back pain?

69
00:08:34,081 --> 00:08:36,417
Still hurts.

70
00:08:44,024 --> 00:08:47,361
<i>Welfare Transportation Service</i>

71
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,340
Hello.

72
00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:05,379
- Thank you as always.
- You’re welcome.

73
00:09:07,181 --> 00:09:09,183
Thanks.

74
00:09:09,550 --> 00:09:11,385
No problem.

75
00:09:19,693 --> 00:09:21,795
- May I?
- Yes.

76
00:09:38,278 --> 00:09:40,780
Your father must be
close to 90, no?

77
00:09:40,781 --> 00:09:46,086
85 years old,... I believe.

78
00:09:47,121 --> 00:09:48,822
85 or 86.

79
00:09:49,156 --> 00:09:55,561
He’s very old, but looks great.
Still drives a car, doesn’t he?

80
00:09:55,562 --> 00:09:58,965
It was hard to renew the license.

81
00:09:58,966 --> 00:10:00,700
Right.

82
00:10:00,701 --> 00:10:08,709
He spent 200,000 yen to renew it,
having new glasses made, etc.

83
00:10:09,676 --> 00:10:10,844
Really.

84
00:10:14,782 --> 00:10:20,219
The new law requires
drivers older than 75…

85
00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:24,090
… to go through rigorous tests.

86
00:10:24,091 --> 00:10:25,793
Right.

87
00:10:26,393 --> 00:10:31,365
It's now hard to keep driving
if you’re 75 and older.

88
00:10:32,533 --> 00:10:38,805
I’ll be in trouble, since my license
will expire in 2 years.

89
00:10:38,806 --> 00:10:43,277
I wonder if my eyes are good enough.

90
00:10:44,411 --> 00:10:50,717
More and more people return
their licenses when they get old.

91
00:11:03,097 --> 00:11:05,265
Here we are.

92
00:11:07,101 --> 00:11:10,603
Thanks for riding.

93
00:11:10,604 --> 00:11:12,638
Thank you.

00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:16,777
<i>KIBI WORK HOME for People with
Severe Physical Disabilities</i>

95
00:11:19,713 --> 00:11:22,882
Let me calculate the fare.

96
00:11:22,883 --> 00:11:24,785
Just a minute.

97
00:11:25,619 --> 00:11:33,193
28…9 and 1, so…

98
00:11:34,995 --> 00:11:40,501
Well… 28 kilometers for each way, so…

99
00:11:59,420 --> 00:12:01,387
6720 yen.

100
00:12:01,388 --> 00:12:05,659
- I have 20 yen.
- Got you.

101
00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:09,296
Here’s your receipt.

102
00:12:11,265 --> 00:12:15,669
Oops, how much is your change?
300 yen?

103
00:12:16,103 --> 00:12:18,471
Can’t calculate…

104
00:12:18,472 --> 00:12:20,006
Now I got it.

105
00:12:20,007 --> 00:12:22,008
- Do you have change?
- Yep.

106
00:12:22,009 --> 00:12:26,612
I’m old, which makes me
slower at calculating.

107
00:12:26,613 --> 00:12:29,415
Let me know if I made mistakes.

108
00:12:29,416 --> 00:12:34,421
And thank you for the souvenir.
You didn’t have to…

109
00:12:35,989 --> 00:12:38,358
OK, let’s get out.

110
00:12:45,365 --> 00:12:50,603
Please eat it by tomorrow.

111
00:12:50,604 --> 00:12:54,607
Thanks for the wonderful cake.

112
00:12:54,608 --> 00:12:57,311
- Bye.
- See you.

113
00:13:04,918 --> 00:13:10,022
This is The Okayama School for the
Disabled, where I started my career.

114
00:13:10,023 --> 00:13:14,094
It was nothing like this.
It’s completely rebuilt.

115
00:13:17,331 --> 00:13:19,932
You taught there 40 years ago?

116
00:13:19,933 --> 00:13:25,839
Yeah, the very first
special school I worked for.

117
00:13:26,273 --> 00:13:34,281
It’s the only school for the physically
challenged in Okayama prefecture.

118
00:13:36,116 --> 00:13:38,619
It’s prefecture-funded.

119
00:13:40,387 --> 00:13:43,156
Any opposition to build this facility?

120
00:13:43,157 --> 00:13:46,560
Yeah, people from the local
community opposed it.

121
00:13:50,731 --> 00:13:54,468
Why do you think they opposed it?

122
00:13:54,902 --> 00:14:01,674
Well, that’s too complicated
to explain in one sentence.

123
00:14:01,675 --> 00:14:09,550
I shouldn’t speak for them, either.
They have to tell you what they felt.

124
00:14:11,051 --> 00:14:14,488
Having said that,

125
00:14:15,522 --> 00:14:20,393
I think they were simply scared...

126
00:14:20,394 --> 00:14:28,402
to have a lot of people
with disabilities in their village.

127
00:14:31,472 --> 00:14:34,475
Prejudice, you know?

128
00:14:45,719 --> 00:14:47,854
Good morning.

129
00:14:47,855 --> 00:14:50,923
Today, … (slurred speech)

130
00:14:50,924 --> 00:14:53,159
Pardon?

131
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,895
- My sneakers.
- Wow, they're worn.

132
00:14:55,896 --> 00:14:59,166
That's why I slip.

133
00:15:00,434 --> 00:15:03,136
Take me to a shoe store.

134
00:15:03,137 --> 00:15:05,204
You wore them out.

135
00:15:05,205 --> 00:15:09,308
So, I often slip and fall,
even if I put on my gaiters.

136
00:15:09,309 --> 00:15:12,279
You always wear gaiters, huh?

137
00:15:18,986 --> 00:15:21,354
Let’s go get some sneakers.

138
00:15:21,355 --> 00:15:23,957
Watch your step.

139
00:15:27,127 --> 00:15:29,430
I like your garden.

140
00:15:38,172 --> 00:15:40,240
Watch your step.

141
00:15:45,746 --> 00:15:48,715
Pretty steady steps today.

142
00:16:03,564 --> 00:16:06,500
These are 600 yen, the cheapest.

143
00:16:07,768 --> 00:16:13,340
They… wear out in a week.

144
00:16:15,242 --> 00:16:19,346
- Something with a tougher sole?
- Yeah.

145
00:16:20,013 --> 00:16:23,583
How about these?
Tough, aren’t they?

146
00:16:23,584 --> 00:16:26,519
Tough enough, no?

147
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,622
(slurred speech)... No “bumps.”

148
00:16:29,623 --> 00:16:32,291
I like them.

149
00:16:32,292 --> 00:16:36,195
- But need “bumps.”
- “Bumps”?

150
00:16:36,196 --> 00:16:39,433
<i>Discounted to 890 Yen!</i>

151
00:16:40,768 --> 00:16:44,405
Look, these soles are tough.

152
00:16:45,572 --> 00:16:47,408
Tough, no?

153
00:16:48,142 --> 00:16:51,644
But these wear out fast.

154
00:16:51,645 --> 00:16:56,048
No, these are tough enough, I guess.
You prefer even tougher?

155
00:16:56,049 --> 00:17:00,553
I mean, I need some… you know,

156
00:17:00,554 --> 00:17:04,457
…“bumps” around here.

157
00:17:04,458 --> 00:17:08,228
I don’t know if they have such sneakers…

158
00:17:09,763 --> 00:17:15,636
…with “outies”…?

159
00:17:20,307 --> 00:17:24,410
These are tough, and have “bumps.”

160
00:17:24,411 --> 00:17:27,281
Good, aren’t they?

161
00:17:29,249 --> 00:17:32,920
They're 1990 yen. Expensive.

162
00:17:33,487 --> 00:17:36,189
They live up to your standard.

163
00:17:36,190 --> 00:17:39,692
- Let’s decide.
- I take them.

164
00:17:39,693 --> 00:17:42,429
Don’t think too much.

165
00:17:45,299 --> 00:17:47,401
Wait a minute.

166
00:17:53,540 --> 00:17:56,876
These are tough, too.

167
00:17:56,877 --> 00:17:59,245
I like them… What size?

168
00:17:59,246 --> 00:18:02,281
25.5…perfect.

169
00:18:02,282 --> 00:18:05,885
Pick one pair.
They look better, huh?

170
00:18:05,886 --> 00:18:08,154
Yep.

171
00:18:08,155 --> 00:18:11,958
They’re tougher, too.

172
00:18:11,959 --> 00:18:14,160
Why don’t you get them?

173
00:18:14,161 --> 00:18:19,333
- Need another pair.
- Two pairs?

174
00:18:21,735 --> 00:18:25,973
Here’s your change, 1436 yen.

175
00:18:33,247 --> 00:18:35,748
Who do you live with now?

176
00:18:35,749 --> 00:18:36,750
Pardon?

177
00:18:36,751 --> 00:18:39,719
Do you live with somebody?

178
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,053
Single.

179
00:18:41,054 --> 00:18:42,955
Single?

180
00:18:42,956 --> 00:18:45,158
Yeah, single.

181
00:18:45,159 --> 00:18:47,561
- You’re living alone?
- Yep.

182
00:18:49,329 --> 00:18:54,902
I guess... because
I’m “katawa (deformed).”

183
00:18:55,402 --> 00:18:57,670
“Katawa”?

184
00:18:57,671 --> 00:19:01,307
Who wants to marry a guy like me?

185
00:19:01,308 --> 00:19:03,377
That’s how I see it.

186
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,449
Yeah, it might be tough to find a bride.

187
00:19:09,450 --> 00:19:11,150
That’s right.

188
00:19:11,151 --> 00:19:14,687
Even if a girl married me,

189
00:19:14,688 --> 00:19:19,426
… she'd divorce me in a year or two.

190
00:19:19,793 --> 00:19:22,862
(slurred speech)

191
00:19:22,863 --> 00:19:26,532
Have you felt that way
since you were younger?

192
00:19:26,533 --> 00:19:30,003
Yep. One time, when I was younger,

193
00:19:31,405 --> 00:19:36,743
… a girl wanted to marry me,

194
00:19:36,744 --> 00:19:38,878
… but I said “no.”

195
00:19:38,879 --> 00:19:40,179
Really.

196
00:19:40,180 --> 00:19:42,648
Even if she married me,

197
00:19:42,649 --> 00:19:44,984
… in a year or two,

198
00:19:44,985 --> 00:19:52,358
… she would find a better guy
and divorce me.

199
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:57,396
So, I didn’t marry her.

200
00:19:57,397 --> 00:19:59,066
Really.

201
00:19:59,633 --> 00:20:01,601
That’s why, like you,

202
00:20:01,602 --> 00:20:04,270
… I don’t eat vegetables.

203
00:20:04,271 --> 00:20:04,938
Pardon?

204
00:20:04,939 --> 00:20:07,774
Vegetables, cabbage, lettuce, etc.

205
00:20:07,775 --> 00:20:10,643
- You don’t eat them?
- No way.

206
00:20:10,644 --> 00:20:13,546
You always tell me to eat vegetables.

207
00:20:13,547 --> 00:20:16,683
- But you don’t?
- Never!

208
00:20:17,151 --> 00:20:22,589
(slurred speech)

209
00:20:23,657 --> 00:20:25,825
I see.

210
00:20:25,826 --> 00:20:30,130
Unlike you, I don’t have
high blood pressure.

211
00:20:30,798 --> 00:20:36,570
Your blood pressure is high...

212
00:20:36,603 --> 00:20:41,108
That’s why you tell me to eat vegetables?

213
00:20:41,875 --> 00:20:45,345
Anyway, let’s go eat some sushi.

214
00:21:42,703 --> 00:21:45,938
- Thank you.
- See you soon.

215
00:21:45,939 --> 00:21:48,575
Take care.

216
00:21:50,110 --> 00:21:52,279
I’ll see you in a month.

217
00:21:53,180 --> 00:21:54,381
Bye.

218
00:24:13,554 --> 00:24:17,791
How did you end up
having these cats?

219
00:24:20,427 --> 00:24:24,064
Since 10, 20 years ago...

220
00:24:25,365 --> 00:24:31,671
First, there was only one cat,
but she had many kids…

221
00:24:31,672 --> 00:24:38,144
Every time the number increases,
some cats leave and disappear.

222
00:24:38,145 --> 00:24:43,716
So, I always have 4 or 5 cats.

223
00:24:43,717 --> 00:24:50,491
Sometimes, an outsider joins the group.

224
00:24:54,027 --> 00:25:02,035
This cat, for example,
came here as a stray little kitten.

225
00:25:04,571 --> 00:25:09,542
He used to be bullied by other cats,
and would scurry away,

226
00:25:09,543 --> 00:25:14,814
but since he was persistent,
they finally accepted him.

227
00:25:14,815 --> 00:25:17,985
Now he's a member.

228
00:25:27,094 --> 00:25:29,797
Off we go.

229
00:25:35,736 --> 00:25:42,241
If I spray some tick repellent on you,
will that damage your camera?

230
00:25:42,242 --> 00:25:43,810
I don’t think so.

231
00:25:43,811 --> 00:25:48,182
You should use some repellent
on your body, otherwise…

232
00:26:04,598 --> 00:26:06,567
What a beautiful flower...!

233
00:26:12,072 --> 00:26:13,474
Hello.

234
00:26:13,807 --> 00:26:15,509
Mr. Hashimoto.

235
00:26:15,843 --> 00:26:16,909
Yes?

236
00:26:16,910 --> 00:26:18,979
I’m coming in.

237
00:26:20,047 --> 00:26:21,314
Yes, please.

238
00:26:21,315 --> 00:26:24,117
Did you eat dinner yet?

239
00:26:24,118 --> 00:26:25,418
Not yet.

240
00:26:25,419 --> 00:26:28,154
What time do you usually eat?

241
00:26:28,155 --> 00:26:30,557
It depends…

242
00:26:38,899 --> 00:26:43,937
Wow. Mice are eating your soap…

243
00:26:47,608 --> 00:26:52,246
What an amazing job!

244
00:27:08,896 --> 00:27:12,432
How was your hospital visit on Tuesday?

245
00:27:12,433 --> 00:27:16,369
Just fine.

246
00:27:16,370 --> 00:27:19,338
I’m in good shape.

247
00:27:19,339 --> 00:27:20,973
Great.

248
00:27:20,974 --> 00:27:24,911
No good if I stay home and behave myself.

249
00:27:24,912 --> 00:27:26,747
If you behave yourself?

250
00:27:28,182 --> 00:27:34,087
So, if you stopped smoking,

251
00:27:34,088 --> 00:27:38,925
it wouldn’t be a good sign. No?

252
00:27:38,926 --> 00:27:40,960
Right.

253
00:27:40,961 --> 00:27:43,496
But your doctor might…

254
00:27:43,497 --> 00:27:47,133
No, he doesn’t say anything.

255
00:27:47,134 --> 00:27:48,969
Really?

256
00:27:50,003 --> 00:27:52,538
I'm smoking for my health.

257
00:27:52,539 --> 00:27:55,541
Smoking for your health?

258
00:27:55,542 --> 00:27:57,443
Yep.

259
00:27:57,444 --> 00:28:01,882
Must be good for you
since it's promoted by the government.

260
00:28:05,853 --> 00:28:09,288
The Japanese government promotes it.

261
00:28:09,289 --> 00:28:11,023
Well...

262
00:28:11,024 --> 00:28:17,897
But I don't think it's good for you.
I wish you'd quit smoking.

263
00:28:17,898 --> 00:28:20,800
Well, you have a wrong idea.

264
00:28:20,801 --> 00:28:23,636
A wrong idea? Oh dear.

265
00:28:23,637 --> 00:28:27,907
If I quit smoking or drinking,

266
00:28:27,908 --> 00:28:31,544
I would have no enjoyment in life.

267
00:28:31,545 --> 00:28:35,149
Just breathing the air and
existing, that’s all.

268
00:28:35,315 --> 00:28:39,185
I know you have long nights
since you’re alone…

269
00:28:39,186 --> 00:28:43,657
Very long. But I’m now used to it.

270
00:28:44,057 --> 00:28:49,095
I’m the only one left
alive…living until 90...

271
00:28:49,096 --> 00:28:51,198
What a shame.

272
00:28:55,335 --> 00:29:01,407
I wonder if I could endure when I’m
left alone. You’re strong.

273
00:29:01,408 --> 00:29:07,014
Well, it’s not about me enduring…
I’m just alone. No choice.

274
00:29:07,314 --> 00:29:13,754
But it’s sometimes good to be alone
since I can do whatever I want.

275
00:29:15,522 --> 00:29:19,926
You’ve got to find some good sides.

276
00:29:19,927 --> 00:29:21,762
I see.

277
00:29:25,466 --> 00:29:28,634
Hello, Hashimoto speaking.

278
00:29:28,635 --> 00:29:31,838
Oh, Ms. Okazaki. Yes.

279
00:29:31,839 --> 00:29:34,140
How are you?

280
00:29:34,141 --> 00:29:38,045
You wanna speak to Ms. Kashiwagi?

281
00:29:39,580 --> 00:29:42,315
Hello. How are you doing?

282
00:29:42,316 --> 00:29:48,288
Pick up at 1:45 PM. Got you.

283
00:29:50,691 --> 00:29:56,329
It was Ms. Okazaki, your care manager.

284
00:29:56,330 --> 00:30:00,734
She said your next hospital visit
is scheduled on the 27th.

285
00:30:01,535 --> 00:30:09,543
My husband will pick you up on the 27th…

286
00:30:10,177 --> 00:30:18,185
Let me write it down...
My husband Kashiwagi from Kicchako.

287
00:30:19,286 --> 00:30:21,921
- Thank you.
- No problem.

288
00:30:21,922 --> 00:30:28,261
On the 22nd, it says
Council of Social Welfare (CSW), right?

289
00:30:28,262 --> 00:30:34,001
Somebody from CSW is
bringing you some money…

290
00:30:34,401 --> 00:30:39,472
Yes, on the 22nd, Mr. Nakamura is bringing…

291
00:30:39,473 --> 00:30:44,812
That’s right. So, they want
you to wait until the 22nd.

292
00:30:46,413 --> 00:30:51,717
Maybe I should ask him
to come sooner.

293
00:30:51,718 --> 00:30:53,453
Yeah?

294
00:30:53,454 --> 00:30:55,588
I’ll call him.

295
00:30:55,589 --> 00:31:01,061
But he said he wants you to wait
until that date…

296
00:31:01,528 --> 00:31:07,601
I know, but I want to ask him,
just in case.

297
00:31:08,402 --> 00:31:10,002
Bye now.

298
00:31:10,003 --> 00:31:14,574
Please take a tangerine.

299
00:31:14,575 --> 00:31:17,677
You always want to give
me something.

300
00:31:17,678 --> 00:31:19,846
It’s against our policy.

301
00:31:19,847 --> 00:31:22,281
What policy? It's just a tangerine.

302
00:31:22,282 --> 00:31:24,016
OK, then, thank you.

303
00:31:24,017 --> 00:31:25,952
Good night.

304
00:31:25,953 --> 00:31:27,987
Wow, it’s dark already.

305
00:31:27,988 --> 00:31:30,023
I’ll see you off.

306
00:31:31,358 --> 00:31:34,628
Are you OK? Watch your step.

307
00:31:37,731 --> 00:31:41,300
- Thank you.
- No no, thank YOU!

308
00:31:41,301 --> 00:31:43,170
Come again.

309
00:31:43,704 --> 00:31:45,505
Thanks.

310
00:31:45,506 --> 00:31:47,507
Thank you very much.

311
00:31:47,508 --> 00:31:49,910
Have a good night.

312
00:31:52,179 --> 00:31:53,446
Take care.

313
00:31:53,447 --> 00:31:55,281
See you.

314
00:31:55,282 --> 00:31:57,683
- I’m leaving.
- Please.

315
00:31:57,684 --> 00:31:59,453
Bye.

316
00:32:47,468 --> 00:32:50,104
OK, he’s now inside.

317
00:32:56,276 --> 00:32:59,646
Itchy, itchy, itchy, isn't it?

318
00:33:00,380 --> 00:33:05,351
Hello Ms Okazaki,
this is Kashiwagi speaking.

319
00:33:05,352 --> 00:33:13,360
In terms of the money,
he’s calling CSW tomorrow, he said.

320
00:33:15,195 --> 00:33:22,268
He needs the money sooner,
so he’ll ask Mr. Nakamura.

321
00:33:22,269 --> 00:33:24,638
Bye now.

322
00:33:29,243 --> 00:33:33,780
Were you talking about his welfare money?

323
00:33:33,781 --> 00:33:35,949
Yes.

324
00:33:42,489 --> 00:33:45,591
Could you tell me about Mr. Hashimoto?

325
00:33:45,592 --> 00:33:47,727
You mean, his condition?

326
00:33:47,728 --> 00:33:49,129
Yes.

327
00:33:49,496 --> 00:33:57,004
He’s in… hospice care.

328
00:34:00,441 --> 00:34:04,078
He has lung cancer.

329
00:34:05,879 --> 00:34:13,487
He knows about it,
and he’s receiving hospice care at home.

330
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:11,578
Don’t shoot such a thing.

331
00:36:04,765 --> 00:36:06,467
Chiro.

332
00:36:07,367 --> 00:36:11,472
Show me the heart symbol
you’re so proud of.

333
00:36:22,015 --> 00:36:24,818
Hello, Kicchako.

334
00:36:25,619 --> 00:36:28,355
<i>Kicchako</i>

335
00:36:29,089 --> 00:36:36,230
But we’re only allowed to give him
5 hours of physical care per month.

336
00:36:37,898 --> 00:36:44,170
You know Mr. Shiga
got injured on his head, don’t you?

337
00:36:44,171 --> 00:36:52,179
And can we use
the Public Long-term Care Insurance…

338
00:36:52,379 --> 00:36:56,917
…to assist his hospital visits?

339
00:36:57,351 --> 00:37:05,359
We’ll pay the home helper 900 yen
of service fee for 30 minutes,...

340
00:37:07,161 --> 00:37:10,029
plus the fee for gas.

341
00:37:10,030 --> 00:37:15,501
Which means, 1300 yen in total...

342
00:37:15,502 --> 00:37:22,509
if the care manager approves the cost.

343
00:37:23,577 --> 00:37:27,713
Hello, I’d like to speak to
the office of Social Welfare.

344
00:37:27,714 --> 00:37:30,049
Yes, please.

345
00:37:30,050 --> 00:37:35,288
I understand you give out
free tickets for flu shots.

346
00:37:35,289 --> 00:37:43,030
Are people with intractable diseases
eligible to receive one?

347
00:37:46,500 --> 00:37:52,039
Did you hear from your doctor?

348
00:38:06,153 --> 00:38:08,155
July…

349
00:38:15,129 --> 00:38:19,299
<i>Welfare Transportation Report</i>

350
00:38:30,477 --> 00:38:35,416
This is a report I need to
submit every 6 months.

351
00:38:36,016 --> 00:38:40,821
The total gross income is… how much?

352
00:38:41,221 --> 00:38:44,691
387,730 yen.

353
00:38:45,292 --> 00:38:51,197
It’s only about 60,000 yen per month.

354
00:38:51,198 --> 00:38:56,335
And I have to pay for gas and everything
out of this income.

355
00:38:56,336 --> 00:38:58,905
<i>Welfare Transportation Service</i>

356
00:38:58,906 --> 00:39:05,044
People used to provide transportation
services to the elderly and the disabled...

357
00:39:05,045 --> 00:39:09,016
as volunteers, completely for free.

358
00:39:09,883 --> 00:39:16,355
But it was just too much for drivers,
so the government created a system,

359
00:39:16,356 --> 00:39:22,261
…which allows the drivers to take
some money from the users,

360
00:39:22,262 --> 00:39:25,364
…to pay for gas.

361
00:39:25,365 --> 00:39:28,935
But, there are a bunch of rules.

362
00:39:28,936 --> 00:39:34,307
For example, the fare needs to be
lower than a half of a taxi's fare.

363
00:39:34,308 --> 00:39:37,911
And we have no freedom
to set the amount.

364
00:39:39,913 --> 00:39:43,850
Any assistance from the government?

365
00:39:43,851 --> 00:39:45,318
Zero.

366
00:39:45,319 --> 00:39:47,587
Then no salary for a driver?

367
00:39:47,588 --> 00:39:50,656
Of course not. Zero.

368
00:39:50,657 --> 00:39:54,962
The reality is that no drivers get paid
through this system.

369
00:39:55,996 --> 00:40:01,067
I mean, I get paid a little somehow…

370
00:40:01,068 --> 00:40:07,273
…from Kicchako, our non-profit
home helper station.

371
00:40:07,274 --> 00:40:12,813
But the transportation service
is always in red ink.

372
00:40:13,380 --> 00:40:16,850
Why do you still do that, then?

373
00:40:18,085 --> 00:40:20,921
Force of habit, I guess.

374
00:41:43,537 --> 00:41:48,575
<i>Welfare Transportation Service
Training Course</i>

375
00:41:58,218 --> 00:42:01,822
This goes like this.

376
00:42:02,122 --> 00:42:04,691
And then, …

377
00:42:09,496 --> 00:42:15,234
Please make sure to put on
the brakes on the wheel chair.

378
00:42:15,235 --> 00:42:22,709
Otherwise, the chair can roll back,
which is very dangerous.

379
00:42:23,377 --> 00:42:25,812
Don’t let the wheels fall off.

380
00:42:25,813 --> 00:42:27,848
Quite difficult.

381
00:42:29,683 --> 00:42:31,951
Heavy?

382
00:42:31,952 --> 00:42:33,986
Yes, very heavy.

383
00:42:33,987 --> 00:42:36,924
- You’re rude.
- Oh, sorry.

384
00:42:40,594 --> 00:42:42,061
Unstable.

385
00:42:42,062 --> 00:42:43,764
Unstable?

386
00:42:46,767 --> 00:42:50,104
Do you want to try to push it back up?

387
00:42:53,974 --> 00:42:57,143
You’ll know it if you actually try, but…

388
00:42:57,144 --> 00:43:04,050
No matter how much you drive,
you’d have very little income.

389
00:43:04,051 --> 00:43:08,521
The more you drive,
the more gas you use.

390
00:43:08,522 --> 00:43:12,525
When I drove like crazy,
I used to tank up every 3 days.

391
00:43:12,526 --> 00:43:20,133
For 2 years, I drove from morning
till night, with no weekends.

392
00:43:20,134 --> 00:43:25,071
Some people warned me
I was dying of overwork,

393
00:43:25,072 --> 00:43:27,774
… but I wanted to experiment.

394
00:43:27,775 --> 00:43:32,445
And the gross income was only
100,000 yen per month.

395
00:43:32,446 --> 00:43:37,483
More than half of it was spent for gas.

396
00:43:37,484 --> 00:43:45,492
Plus the cost for mandatory safety check,
insurance, repairs…

397
00:43:47,060 --> 00:43:51,631
I also experienced some accidents…

398
00:43:51,632 --> 00:43:54,534
So, the profit was zero.

399
00:43:54,535 --> 00:43:59,972
And my salary was zero.

400
00:43:59,973 --> 00:44:03,943
We’re always in the red.

401
00:44:03,944 --> 00:44:07,747
But, you can’t really complain because…

402
00:44:07,748 --> 00:44:11,551
… it’s something you know
from the beginning.

403
00:44:11,552 --> 00:44:15,556
What is “Welfare Transportation Service”?

404
00:44:16,490 --> 00:44:20,259
It’s not for profit.

405
00:44:20,260 --> 00:44:23,162
You’re not supposed to
make any money.

406
00:44:23,163 --> 00:44:25,898
It’s more like volunteer work.

407
00:44:25,899 --> 00:44:32,171
So, it’s wrong to complain about
the fact that it doesn’t make any money.

408
00:44:32,172 --> 00:44:36,175
We always need to remember this.

409
00:44:36,176 --> 00:44:39,178
But we often forget it.

410
00:44:39,179 --> 00:44:43,082
Since you’re just starting out,

411
00:44:43,083 --> 00:44:51,091
…maybe I shouldn’t have told you
such a discouraging story.

412
00:44:52,292 --> 00:44:57,096
Why do we do this service then?

413
00:44:57,097 --> 00:45:00,868
In fact, I still see some value in it.

414
00:45:02,403 --> 00:45:06,540
Something money can’t give you.

415
00:45:17,785 --> 00:45:20,087
Feel the edge.

416
00:45:39,506 --> 00:45:42,409
Mr. Hashimoto, I'm here.

417
00:45:43,744 --> 00:45:46,213
I’m here to pick you up.

418
00:45:46,346 --> 00:45:50,116
- Sorry to trouble you all the time.
- No, not at all.

419
00:45:50,117 --> 00:45:55,355
- I’m sorry to trouble your wife, too.
- No, no trouble at all.

420
00:45:59,693 --> 00:46:02,563
Thank you.

421
00:46:03,097 --> 00:46:05,298
My car is in the parking lot.

422
00:46:05,299 --> 00:46:09,670
Can you please walk to the lot?

423
00:46:13,107 --> 00:46:17,043
- Where is it?
- Right there.

424
00:46:17,044 --> 00:46:19,146
I see…

425
00:46:21,815 --> 00:46:27,421
Shall I bring the car here?
If you can stay here.

426
00:46:27,654 --> 00:46:30,757
Please stay here.

427
00:46:30,758 --> 00:46:32,593
I'll be back.

428
00:46:33,227 --> 00:46:35,395
Sorry…

429
00:47:24,411 --> 00:47:28,415
- Sorry to trouble you…
- No, not at all.

430
00:47:29,249 --> 00:47:31,717
I’m such a burden.

431
00:47:31,718 --> 00:47:38,025
No, you’re not.
It’s my job to take care of you.

432
00:47:39,193 --> 00:47:42,528
Ms. Okazaki, This is
Kashiwagi from Kicchako.

433
00:47:42,529 --> 00:47:45,532
Mr. Hashimoto’s arrived at the hospital.

434
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,402
Hello.

435
00:47:52,773 --> 00:47:56,976
OK, I’ll wait outside.

436
00:47:56,977 --> 00:47:59,580
<i>Palliative Care</i>

437
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,918
I love the cat on your tie.

438
00:48:06,854 --> 00:48:09,156
Somebody gave it to me.

439
00:48:11,325 --> 00:48:13,926
Come on in now.

440
00:48:13,927 --> 00:48:16,396
- Can I just go in?
- Yes.

441
00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:21,234
Hello.

442
00:48:21,235 --> 00:48:24,605
Look at your tie.

443
00:48:26,807 --> 00:48:28,242
I love it.

444
00:48:37,951 --> 00:48:39,018
Hold on.

445
00:48:39,019 --> 00:48:42,388
You had some pain... around here?

446
00:48:42,389 --> 00:48:43,823
Yes.

447
00:48:43,824 --> 00:48:46,926
- It’s not painful now?
- No.

448
00:48:46,927 --> 00:48:49,830
- Even I push here?
- Right.

449
00:48:50,497 --> 00:48:52,965
The disease's right here.

450
00:48:52,966 --> 00:48:54,500
Aha.

451
00:48:54,501 --> 00:48:57,137
And here.

452
00:48:57,171 --> 00:48:58,738
Two places.

453
00:48:58,739 --> 00:49:00,206
This one's OK.

454
00:49:00,207 --> 00:49:02,909
But this one's doing harm.

455
00:49:02,910 --> 00:49:09,215
This is the cause of your
pain and bloody phlegm.

456
00:49:09,216 --> 00:49:17,224
But compared to your previous X-ray,
it hasn’t grown so much.

457
00:49:19,226 --> 00:49:24,730
If you should have pain,
this would be the cause.

458
00:49:24,731 --> 00:49:27,367
OK, I see.

459
00:49:27,835 --> 00:49:30,571
I’ve got to go soon.

460
00:49:31,672 --> 00:49:35,274
I’ve got to go soon,
since I’m a trouble for you.

461
00:49:35,275 --> 00:49:38,344
You’re a trouble for who?

462
00:49:38,345 --> 00:49:39,979
For you.

463
00:49:39,980 --> 00:49:41,347
No, never.

464
00:49:41,348 --> 00:49:46,520
Really? I’ve got to go to heaven
since I’m a burden to everybody.

465
00:49:46,954 --> 00:49:49,857
But I’m still alive...

466
00:49:50,824 --> 00:49:54,293
Heaven doesn’t let you come?

467
00:49:54,294 --> 00:49:57,097
Since my conduct is bad.

468
00:49:58,398 --> 00:50:00,000
Cute.

469
00:50:03,437 --> 00:50:05,004
Do you enjoy Karaoke?

470
00:50:05,005 --> 00:50:08,908
Yes, I did it a few days ago.

471
00:50:08,909 --> 00:50:10,676
What do you sing?

472
00:50:10,677 --> 00:50:12,044
Enka songs.

473
00:50:12,045 --> 00:50:13,546
Like what?

474
00:50:13,547 --> 00:50:19,420
I like Saburo Kitajima,
Takashi Hosokawa…

475
00:50:20,487 --> 00:50:26,093
Thanks to you, I'm very well.

476
00:50:29,530 --> 00:50:31,464
See you.

477
00:50:31,465 --> 00:50:34,301
Thank you very much.

478
00:50:34,902 --> 00:50:37,004
Is this the way out?

479
00:50:37,905 --> 00:50:39,373
Bye now.

480
00:50:42,076 --> 00:50:43,976
Take care.

481
00:50:43,977 --> 00:50:45,746
Please wait outside.

482
00:50:49,650 --> 00:50:51,752
Any changes?

483
00:50:53,654 --> 00:50:57,423
Last week, he went out quite often.

484
00:50:57,424 --> 00:51:04,931
He enjoyed a trip to Mt. Hiruzen on Friday,
and he was fine on Saturday.

485
00:51:04,932 --> 00:51:09,068
But yesterday, he took
a day off from the day care.

486
00:51:09,069 --> 00:51:13,873
When the home helper
visited him this morning,

487
00:51:13,874 --> 00:51:19,712
she saw him in the bed holding
his chest in anguish.

488
00:51:19,713 --> 00:51:27,721
According to her, she nowadays often
finds his bloody phlegm stuck to the sink.

489
00:51:33,694 --> 00:51:37,197
It might be getting serious.

490
00:51:37,831 --> 00:51:40,401
Here you go.

491
00:51:49,009 --> 00:51:50,577
Delicious…

492
00:51:51,311 --> 00:51:53,012
Mr. Hashimoto.

493
00:51:53,013 --> 00:51:55,681
Long time no see.

494
00:51:55,682 --> 00:52:00,788
How’s your health?
Maybe I shouldn’t ask you like this…

495
00:52:01,455 --> 00:52:04,590
I should go to heaven soon.

496
00:52:04,591 --> 00:52:08,429
Don’t rush.

497
00:52:12,533 --> 00:52:15,169
I can do nothing about it.

498
00:52:17,204 --> 00:52:19,605
Heaven doesn’t want you yet.

499
00:52:19,606 --> 00:52:21,507
I don’t know about it…

500
00:52:21,508 --> 00:52:24,478
You can’t decide yourself, you know?

501
00:52:25,312 --> 00:52:29,716
I know. But I’m troubling everybody.

502
00:52:30,084 --> 00:52:32,519
I always feel this way.

503
00:52:33,420 --> 00:52:36,390
I’m ready to go at any time.

504
00:52:38,792 --> 00:52:43,229
But I’m grateful that
they take me to a place like this,

505
00:52:43,230 --> 00:52:47,667
… instead of being in the bed all the time.

506
00:52:47,668 --> 00:52:55,676
I know that I’m troubling everyone, though.
People worry about me…

507
00:52:56,910 --> 00:52:59,012
But I’m thankful.

508
00:53:01,982 --> 00:53:04,451
I wonder when…

509
00:53:08,455 --> 00:53:11,225
Bye now.

510
00:53:25,506 --> 00:53:27,908
You’re so popular.

511
00:55:39,806 --> 00:55:41,408
Come.

512
00:55:45,245 --> 00:55:46,680
Eat it.

513
00:55:50,617 --> 00:55:53,654
Chibi, come here.

514
00:55:55,289 --> 00:55:58,991
She’s so timid that she can’t eat…

515
00:55:58,992 --> 00:56:01,695
Have some.

516
00:56:02,596 --> 00:56:05,098
Don’t worry and eat.

517
00:56:05,999 --> 00:56:07,834
So timid.

518
00:56:09,269 --> 00:56:16,842
I guess the thief cat
is invading their territory.

519
00:56:16,843 --> 00:56:23,149
So, they wouldn't eat
in the regular spot anymore.

520
00:56:23,150 --> 00:56:25,485
Because he’s there.

521
00:56:26,286 --> 00:56:32,459
They used to eat in the same spot,
but they can’t anymore.

522
00:56:57,718 --> 00:57:02,489
I hate the way my husband keeps his cats
since it’s not sanitary.

523
00:57:02,856 --> 00:57:10,463
I also feel bad because
it's a nuisance to the neighbors.

524
00:57:10,464 --> 00:57:17,004
They’ve actually complained
to me about the cats.

525
00:57:18,038 --> 00:57:25,011
Since he feeds them everywhere,
so many flies are attracted to our house.

526
00:57:25,012 --> 00:57:31,183
And if I complain to him,
I become the bad guy.

527
00:57:31,184 --> 00:57:35,389
It’s something I can’t stand about him.

528
00:57:54,975 --> 00:57:57,443
Did you hear that?

529
00:57:57,444 --> 00:57:59,613
Totally.

530
00:58:00,981 --> 00:58:02,182
No comment.

531
00:58:06,086 --> 00:58:10,157
End of story.

532
00:58:56,503 --> 00:59:01,074
Chiro, don’t worry.

533
00:59:01,508 --> 00:59:03,744
Let’s go see the doctor.

534
00:59:17,190 --> 00:59:23,062
There’s something wrong
with her kidney.

535
00:59:23,063 --> 00:59:30,804
So, the doctor gives her
a drip every few days.

536
00:59:59,299 --> 01:00:01,468
She looks confident.

537
01:00:03,971 --> 01:00:06,473
She seems to be OK
with our presence.

538
01:00:14,014 --> 01:00:16,917
2200 yen, please.

539
01:00:21,288 --> 01:00:22,856
Thank you.

540
01:00:23,457 --> 01:00:26,727
Do you always take your cats
to that clinic?

541
01:00:27,127 --> 01:00:28,662
Yes.

542
01:00:29,429 --> 01:00:35,768
I took all the females
there to be fixed.

543
01:00:35,769 --> 01:00:40,073
But most of the cats
eventually disappear.

544
01:00:40,674 --> 01:00:45,311
When the number of cats
exceed a certain level,

545
01:00:45,312 --> 01:00:49,448
some voluntarily disappear.

546
01:00:49,449 --> 01:00:52,618
Like natural selection?

547
01:00:52,619 --> 01:00:59,425
When the place is overpopulated, older
cats hand it over to the younger ones.

548
01:00:59,426 --> 01:01:02,295
It’s in their nature.

549
01:01:02,296 --> 01:01:04,730
Really mysterious.

550
01:01:04,731 --> 01:01:11,071
Especially males - they usually leave
when they’re about three years old.

551
01:01:11,405 --> 01:01:14,340
I don’t know where they go.

552
01:01:14,341 --> 01:01:19,612
No matter how hard I look for them,
I can’t find them.

553
01:01:19,613 --> 01:01:22,915
Kind of like starting a new journey.

554
01:01:22,916 --> 01:01:25,051
So mysterious.

555
01:01:25,052 --> 01:01:30,356
For the past 20 years,
I’ve had many cats, 4 or 5 at a time.

556
01:01:30,357 --> 01:01:35,628
But they all left me one by one.

557
01:01:35,629 --> 01:01:39,066
I don’t know why.

558
01:01:40,534 --> 01:01:44,103
They all quietly disappear
one by one.

559
01:01:44,104 --> 01:01:46,172
Such a mystery.

560
01:01:46,173 --> 01:01:49,309
And younger ones remain.

561
01:02:47,467 --> 01:02:49,236
Uh-oh.

562
01:02:59,146 --> 01:03:01,648
I hope he’s OK…

563
01:03:08,822 --> 01:03:09,823
Yes?

564
01:03:10,657 --> 01:03:14,294
Ah, I’m so relieved.
Good morning.

565
01:03:17,097 --> 01:03:19,399
Can you unlock the door?

566
01:03:25,973 --> 01:03:28,307
Take your time.

567
01:03:28,308 --> 01:03:31,278
I’m not going today.

568
01:03:31,979 --> 01:03:33,846
This is Kashiwagi.

569
01:03:33,847 --> 01:03:35,548
Ms. Kashiwagi?

570
01:03:35,549 --> 01:03:42,855
Yes. I’m not from the day care,
so please unlock the door.

571
01:03:42,856 --> 01:03:44,857
It’s not locked.

572
01:03:44,858 --> 01:03:46,827
Really?

573
01:03:47,260 --> 01:03:48,794
Oh, it was locked…

574
01:03:48,795 --> 01:03:50,864
Yeah…

575
01:03:57,704 --> 01:04:00,673
Are you smoking?

576
01:04:00,674 --> 01:04:02,943
This is...

577
01:04:04,077 --> 01:04:06,312
the only enjoyment I have.

578
01:04:06,313 --> 01:04:09,116
The only enjoyment?

579
01:04:09,182 --> 01:04:11,150
Today’s…

580
01:04:11,151 --> 01:04:14,888
- I took the medicine today.
- You did?

581
01:04:15,355 --> 01:04:19,159
Today’s the 29th…?

582
01:04:23,530 --> 01:04:26,732
You’re done with medicine.

583
01:04:26,733 --> 01:04:29,635
I’m broiling the fish I brought.

584
01:04:29,636 --> 01:04:32,239
Wow, enough for two meals.

585
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:37,277
For lunch and dinner?
I’ll cook an eggplant, too.

586
01:04:38,412 --> 01:04:41,080
Where’s my shirt?

587
01:04:41,081 --> 01:04:43,350
Maybe there?

588
01:04:49,523 --> 01:04:51,024
It’s done.

589
01:04:52,392 --> 01:04:54,527
It’s ready.

590
01:04:54,528 --> 01:04:57,396
The horse mackerel looks great.

591
01:04:57,397 --> 01:05:01,400
I wish I could eat it now
while it’s still hot.

592
01:05:01,401 --> 01:05:05,205
But I’m full now…

593
01:05:14,681 --> 01:05:17,283
Sorry, please have a seat here.

594
01:05:17,284 --> 01:05:22,189
No, please don’t worry about me.
It’s my job to roll the camera.

595
01:05:25,525 --> 01:05:28,562
Did you put on your shirt
for the camera?

596
01:05:29,930 --> 01:05:33,100
Yeah, to look nicer.

597
01:05:43,844 --> 01:05:46,245
I was a soldier before.

598
01:05:46,246 --> 01:05:47,580
What?

599
01:05:47,581 --> 01:05:51,384
I was stationed
in Fukuoka until the war was over.

600
01:05:51,385 --> 01:05:55,522
I’ve never heard that before.

601
01:05:55,656 --> 01:05:59,759
I mean, I didn’t go to the front line.

602
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:05,331
But I was in Nagoya and Fukuoka
for 7 or 8 years.

603
01:06:05,332 --> 01:06:07,266
Really.

604
01:06:07,267 --> 01:06:10,304
- Was it before you got married?
- Yep.

605
01:06:10,871 --> 01:06:14,408
Back then, they took us all to the war…

606
01:06:15,842 --> 01:06:21,615
…to use us like shields.
So many young men were killed.

607
01:06:21,982 --> 01:06:29,990
Even people like the mayor of the village
all went to the war and got killed.

608
01:06:32,592 --> 01:06:36,629
I’ve lost so many classmates.

609
01:06:36,630 --> 01:06:38,432
Really.

610
01:06:39,533 --> 01:06:43,136
We were all proud of dying.

611
01:06:44,438 --> 01:06:49,075
Nobody complained.
It was a different era.

612
01:06:49,076 --> 01:06:54,982
It was nothing like today, when they cry
and say they're the only son.

613
01:06:55,582 --> 01:06:59,452
So, were you drafted, Mr. Hashimoto?

614
01:06:59,999 --> 01:07:03,802
Yeah, I was enlisted.

615
01:07:04,358 --> 01:07:08,628
That’s why people used to say
a man is only worth 1.5 sen.

616
01:07:08,629 --> 01:07:10,696
What do you mean?

617
01:07:10,697 --> 01:07:12,898
- The same price as a postcard.
- What?

618
01:07:12,899 --> 01:07:16,802
The price of a man was
the same as a postcard, 1.5 sen.

619
01:07:16,803 --> 01:07:19,205
Oh, a postcard cost 1.5 sen?

620
01:07:19,206 --> 01:07:23,843
Yep. So, men were drafted
for 1.5 sen each.

621
01:07:23,844 --> 01:07:30,783
Regardless of if a parent died, if the
1.5 sen-postcard came, you had to go.

622
01:07:30,784 --> 01:07:32,385
My Goodness.

623
01:07:32,386 --> 01:07:34,720
That’s why we were all 1.5 sen.

624
01:07:34,721 --> 01:07:36,622
I didn't know that.

625
01:07:36,623 --> 01:07:42,595
The price tag of a man was 1.5 sen.
So cheap, wasn’t it?

626
01:07:42,596 --> 01:07:48,035
- Many people died for 1.5 sen.
- Right.

627
01:07:48,435 --> 01:07:50,870
That’s why we were 1.5 sen.

628
01:07:50,871 --> 01:07:52,805
My goodness.

629
01:07:52,806 --> 01:07:55,943
It was such an era.

630
01:07:57,110 --> 01:08:00,346
The price of a postcard.

631
01:08:00,347 --> 01:08:06,619
Wasn’t your mother
glad to see you come back alive?

632
01:08:06,620 --> 01:08:11,657
Well, she had to be reserved
because many people got killed.

633
01:08:11,658 --> 01:08:18,231
Some were proud, but others
felt bad about being alive.

634
01:08:18,932 --> 01:08:23,069
Since I wasn’t dead,
I couldn’t go home in triumph.

635
01:08:23,070 --> 01:08:29,008
Back then, we were all
educated that way.

636
01:08:29,009 --> 01:08:32,278
A man was worth 1.5 sen.

637
01:08:32,279 --> 01:08:35,181
This is the first time I heard the phrase.

638
01:08:35,182 --> 01:08:38,851
We were so cheap and disposable.

639
01:08:38,852 --> 01:08:44,457
- People actually used the phrase?
- Yeah.

640
01:08:44,458 --> 01:08:47,793
I wonder if I would have
gone if I was drafted.

641
01:08:47,794 --> 01:08:50,230
Of course, you would have.

642
01:08:51,298 --> 01:08:58,138
We were all educated that way.
We were so proud of it.

643
01:09:07,681 --> 01:09:15,689
All the windows of the train we rode
were covered by boards to block our sight.

644
01:09:17,391 --> 01:09:21,193
What? You mean,
the train to the base?

645
01:09:21,194 --> 01:09:23,829
Yes, trains have windows, right?

646
01:09:23,830 --> 01:09:28,035
They were all covered
so we couldn’t see outside.

647
01:09:28,302 --> 01:09:29,769
To block your view?

648
01:09:29,770 --> 01:09:37,778
Right. We were able to see outside
only when we went to the bathroom.

649
01:09:38,312 --> 01:09:41,647
You mean, they didn’t want you
to know where you were heading?

650
01:09:41,648 --> 01:09:48,254
Yeah. We couldn’t tell which direction
we were being taken to.

651
01:09:48,255 --> 01:09:53,226
Gosh, that must have been
really nerve-racking.

652
01:09:53,894 --> 01:09:57,063
It was like that.

653
01:09:57,064 --> 01:09:58,998
I see.

654
01:09:58,999 --> 01:10:07,007
I didn’t know if I was being taken to
Hakata or Hiroshima...

655
01:10:08,008 --> 01:10:10,876
How old were you?

656
01:10:10,877 --> 01:10:16,883
I must have been in my late 20's.

657
01:10:24,257 --> 01:10:27,460
When I’m alone, I always think…

658
01:10:27,461 --> 01:10:30,029
About what?

659
01:10:30,030 --> 01:10:34,668
About going to the other world.

660
01:10:39,106 --> 01:10:43,009
I wonder who’s going to take care of...

661
01:10:43,010 --> 01:10:50,284
my funeral, cremation, etc…
Maybe somebody can manage...

662
01:10:53,387 --> 01:10:57,090
I’ll help you realize what you wish.

663
01:11:04,131 --> 01:11:08,435
OK, I’m taking off.

664
01:11:08,602 --> 01:11:10,871
Thank you.

665
01:11:11,571 --> 01:11:13,340
Bye now.

666
01:11:14,508 --> 01:11:17,577
You don’t have to see me off.

667
01:11:18,378 --> 01:11:19,912
See you.

668
01:11:19,913 --> 01:11:21,848
Thank you very much.

669
01:11:22,282 --> 01:11:23,717
Thank you.

670
01:11:24,017 --> 01:11:25,519
Take care.

671
01:11:25,719 --> 01:11:29,022
Sorry I didn’t offer you anything.

672
01:11:30,524 --> 01:11:31,825
Thanks.

673
01:11:33,193 --> 01:11:35,829
Bye now.

674
01:11:43,604 --> 01:11:46,273
<i>CHANGE</i>

675
01:11:50,077 --> 01:11:54,314
700 yen…oh dear!

676
01:11:56,016 --> 01:12:00,454
I’m shocked it exceeded an hour.

677
01:12:02,756 --> 01:12:06,025
But it takes at least an hour.

678
01:12:06,026 --> 01:12:14,034
<i>(PM Hatoyama): We first need to address the
distrust against the social security system…</i>

679
01:12:14,167 --> 01:12:21,240
I usually prepare some food at home,
and spend an hour here.

680
01:12:21,241 --> 01:12:27,980
If I did the laundry, it could take two hours.
But the government only pays for an hour.

681
01:12:27,981 --> 01:12:31,551
Maybe I shouldn’t complain…

682
01:12:33,253 --> 01:12:40,560
But we also have to pay for the parking…
100 yen per 10 minutes.

683
01:12:43,397 --> 01:12:48,567
<i>We’ll support such domestic industry
as health care, elderly care, …</i>

684
01:12:48,568 --> 01:12:53,205
<i>…so people can feel secure everyday.</i>

685
01:12:53,206 --> 01:12:58,277
<i>We’ll also promote agriculture,
forestry, sightseeing…etc.</i>

686
01:12:58,278 --> 01:13:03,883
<i>By doing that, we’ll create
new demands and jobs.</i>

687
01:13:03,884 --> 01:13:09,789
<i>We’ll also try to work with
growing Asian countries…</i>

688
01:13:09,790 --> 01:13:17,798
<i>…so we can lead our nation to
a new kind of economic growth.</i>

689
01:14:28,802 --> 01:14:33,039
The thief cat seems to get along now.

690
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:41,048
Yep. Little by little, he’s
behaving like an official member, …

691
01:14:43,083 --> 01:14:48,255
…which means,
other cats have accepted him.
