00:00 This popularity is still there until now.
00:06 I saw different types of people lined up to get closer to Hachiko's monument in Shibuya.
00:16 Maybe you read his story, are you familiar?
00:19 I feel embarrassed.
00:21 Loyal.
00:22 He's a loyal dog.
00:24 Loyal dog.
00:25 I really like his story because it's embarrassing every time I watch it.
00:30 We're also pet dogs.
00:32 In 1934, Hachiko built the first statue in Shibuya Station.
00:39 Hachiko was still alive then, so he was still able to attend the event.
00:45 But this is not the bronze statue that is displayed in Shibuya.
00:52 It's Hachiko's birthday today, and as you can see,
00:57 he's really collecting his most popular monument.
01:01 But I found out that it's not his first monument
01:06 because the first one needs to be melted during the war.
01:10 During World War II, the Japanese military needed metal.
01:19 So the first statue was taken.
01:23 March 8, 1935, Hachiko was found dead on a street in Shibuya.
01:32 In this image, you can see Professor Ueno's partner, Yae Kezakano,
01:41 who gave a dog a tail and became a part of their life.
01:45 He also opened the door for some staff of Shibuya Station.
01:50 His funeral was celebrated in the newspapers,
01:56 and it is said that 2,000 people came to say goodbye to him.
02:02 In some old pictures, you can also see many people waving flowers.
02:09 Hachiko's long wait is over.
02:14 He was buried in Hachi, and in the place where he was brought back to life.
02:21 His memory is still alive.
02:27 In 1948, after World War II, Hachiko was built,
02:38 which we can see now.
02:40 It was made by the son of the sculptor who made the first monument.
02:44 The son of the sculptor who created it the first time also crafted the second Hachiko.
02:50 The son was about 20 or 21 years old at the time.
02:54 After I became involved with the Hachiko statue,
02:57 I developed a close relationship with the teacher who created the second generation.
03:01 When I mentioned that he crafted the second generation,
03:05 I'm referring to the teacher who created the Hachiko bronze statue.
03:09 I heard that he melted down another statue he had made and used it for the Hachiko bronze statue.
03:14 Nearby, you can see a large tarpaulin commemorating his 100th birthday.
03:23 It is also a star in this mural.
03:34 Because of Hachiko's popularity, some of his internal organs are displayed in this museum
03:42 at the University of Tokyo Yayoi Campus.
03:46 A journal was also published about the observation of the spleen on Hachiko's body.
03:53 Maybe we all want to know the reason for his birth.
04:00 The liver and the spleen.
04:04 There is a bamboo stick.
04:08 But later on, there was another study that says it was because of cancer.
04:12 One professor was asked to check some DNA cells.
04:19 At that time, he found the cancer cell.
04:27 So he concluded that Hachiko died from cancer.
04:37 So it's like he had a stick in his stomach, but that was not the cause of death.
04:44 He died of another disease.
