00:12 With a desire to go back to the past, we arrived at Odatez City in Aquita Prefecture.
00:24 It was just in time for the big celebration of the city for Hachiko's 100th birthday on November 10.
00:33 The whole community gathered and visitors from different cities.
00:43 Including the shops and souvenir items that Hachiko has images of.
00:53 It was also a party because of the amount of food that can be tasted.
00:58 Good morning!
01:00 The program for the birthday of the famous dog was grand.
01:04 Several famous personalities came as the mayor of Shibuya and Odatez City.
01:12 There were also officials of the Hachiko Preservation Society of Shibuya and Odatez City.
01:20 First of all, as you may know, Hachiko is indeed a globally famous dog.
01:28 However, I felt that not many people are aware that Hachiko was born here in Odate and that he is of the Aquita breed.
01:36 The goal is to make people around the world more aware of Hachiko and in turn introduce them to Odate through this project.
01:44 I would like to continue growing this project to achieve that purpose.
01:49 There is also a celebration at the Aquita Dog Visitor Center in Odate.
01:55 Aquita Inu is the breed of Hachiko, so there is also a monument here that is decorated with flowers.
02:04 This is where I first saw Ryosako Saito, the grandson of the original owner of Hachiko.
02:13 He is the one who is famous for hanging flowers here.
02:18 Hachiko, I would like to send you a happy birthday.
02:25 In the same program, Hachiko sang and gave a birthday cake.
02:32 A member of his family also made him famous to show the beauty and intelligence of the pure Aquita Inu breed.
02:43 He showed a beautiful jump.
02:46 Everyone, please give him a big round of applause.
02:50 As a gift, the two grandchildren, Hirokichi Saito, wrote an article about Hachiko, which became the reason for the dog's fame.
03:04 Thank you.
