00:00Episode 2
00:13Daibutsu no imaba
00:18This is a question from imada ibutsu-san who's probably wondering how nostalgic this is,
00:21and how she remembered how she felt when she was a child.
00:25This is from Matsuzaki of Fuehama.
00:28I haven't seen anyone using a public telephone in recent years.
00:32I haven't seen anyone using a telephone card either.
00:35Are they being used?
00:37And do young people these days know how to use a public telephone?
00:43I see.
00:45It was natural for me.
00:48First of all, I don't have a mobile phone.
00:50I have to talk to my parents on the phone at home.
00:54You had no choice but to talk to your parents on the phone.
00:59I had a mobile phone from the beginning.
01:02You had a mobile phone when you were in puberty.
01:04Yes.
01:05You had your own mobile phone, didn't you?
01:06Yes, I had it in my room.
01:08It's a boring life.
01:11It's not like that.
01:13It's boring.
01:15The environment that has been blessed since you were born.
01:17I feel sorry for you.
01:19I'm happy.
01:21You don't even know the joy of having a cooler in your room.
01:25I was happy, too.
01:27You're overdoing it.
01:28I don't want to go to a place without a cooler.
01:33In the past, there were public telephones everywhere in Japan.
01:38But now everyone has a mobile phone and a smartphone.
01:43The number of public telephones is decreasing year after year.
01:48I miss the old days.
01:52A card public telephone appeared in Toyama Prefecture 41 years ago.
01:58Many people noticed that you can use a public telephone even if you don't have any money.
02:09And five years later, a duet phone, a public telephone where three people can talk at the same time, appeared.
02:17It was popular among young people who were sensitive to trends.
02:22What's that? I've never seen it or used it.
02:27The number of public telephones in Toyama Prefecture was the most in 1995.
02:32There were about 6,300 public telephones.
02:36However, in March of this year, the number of public telephones has decreased to 837.
02:43It's summer.
02:45Next time, we will investigate two things to answer the viewer's questions.
02:50The first question.
02:52Are public telephones and mobile phones used now?
02:57The second question.
02:58Can young people use public telephones alone now?
03:04You don't even know how to use it?
03:09To solve the first question, a public telephone near Itoyama Station was installed.
03:16A fixed camera was installed and the investigation began.
03:19In this smartphone era, will there be people who use public telephones and mobile phones?
03:32But...
03:39The number of users who monitored for 6 hours is zero.
03:44Zero users in 6 hours?
03:47So, we asked people in the city about public telephones and mobile phones.
03:54Do you use public telephones?
03:56No, I don't.
03:58I don't use them as much as I remember.
04:00I heard that public telephones are easy to use.
04:06But, I couldn't connect my mobile phone to public telephones.
04:09I heard that public telephones are easy to connect.
04:11So, I don't use public telephones.
04:13I put my wallet in the phone box.
04:18But, it was delivered to me.
04:21I'm a peaceful person.
04:24Do you use public telephones as a love tool?
04:27I did when I was young.
04:29When you were young?
04:31How did you use public telephones?
04:33I put a 10-yen coin in the phone box.
04:35I see.
04:37You put a 10-yen coin in the phone box.
04:40How did you fall in love with public telephones?
04:42It's over.
04:44It's a story from my student days.
04:47Please stop.
04:49By the way, do you still have your phone card?
04:53I have my daughter's phone card.
04:57This is your daughter's photo when she was young.
05:03This is my treasure.
05:05It's like a charm.
05:07I made it 30 years ago when I was 5 years old.
05:12You made it 30 years ago.
05:14Do you still have your daughter's phone card?
05:16Yes, I do.
05:18The sale of public telephones started in 1982.
05:23It was a novelty and a gift.
05:27The design was popular.
05:30Many people made original cards as a commemoration.
05:40However, are there still people who want to buy a phone card?
05:45I asked a store in Toyama City.
05:49On average, about 50 to 80 phone cards are sold.
05:56Some people buy only one phone card.
05:59However, some people buy dozens of phone cards.
06:04I think it's the parents of elementary school students.
06:09On the other hand, I feel that those who sell phone cards are also in need.
06:15I have a baseball player's phone card.
06:18I gave it to my daughter.
06:20When my daughter was examined at school, her teacher told her that she had a great phone card.
06:26Her teacher, Atsuya Furuta, was very excited.
06:31We were dating at a long distance.
06:35I had a public telephone card.
06:37I kept calling her until the card ran out.
06:41I kept calling her until the card ran out.
06:46I spent a lot of money.
06:50I spent about 200,000 to 300,000 yen a week.
06:57I spent about 100,000 yen a month.
07:00I didn't have a chance to call my girlfriend.
07:05I remember when I was single at work.
07:13I called my family to tell them I was crying.
07:17I was crying. It was painful.
07:20I called my mother in Iwate.
07:26It was 40 years ago.
07:29You can talk about things you can't usually say on the phone.
07:34Especially, I was embarrassed to talk about my family.
07:38I was embarrassed to talk about my family.
07:41I was embarrassed to talk about my family.
07:45I was embarrassed to talk about my family.
07:50I was in my early years.
07:53I had a lot of public telephone cards.
07:56I kept calling her.
07:58I kept calling her.
08:02Where did you call her?
08:04I was dating her at that time.
08:08You were dating her at that time.
08:12I was dating her at that time.
08:14I called her to ask her where I could meet her.
08:19I see.
08:21Pocket Bell
08:24Pocket Bell is a abbreviation of Pocket Bell.
08:27It was used from the late 1980s to the early 1990s before cell phones and smartphones were popular.
08:35Is this a message?
08:38It was a pun using numbers from public telephones.
08:44I don't understand the meaning of this number.
08:49For example, this is...
08:50What are you doing?
08:54This is...
08:55I'm going to the bathroom.
08:59This is...
09:00I'm lonely.
09:04This is...
09:05I'm going now.
09:09This is...
09:10I want to see you.
09:14Daibutsu-san has a question.
09:16What is the meaning of this message?
09:21Give me my money back?
09:23Where did you get this idea?
09:26I don't usually contact people urgently.
09:30The answer is...
09:31I love you.
09:34I love you.
09:37It's the exact opposite.
09:40When was the last time you used a pocket bell?
09:43I think it was more than five years ago.
09:46More than five years ago?
09:47What did you do at that time?
09:51I didn't know how to use a pocket bell.
09:54I wanted to teach my son how to use a pocket bell.
09:56You wanted to teach your son how to use a pocket bell.
09:58Yes.
09:59I wanted to teach him how to use a pocket bell when he was in the first grade of elementary school.
10:01I see.
10:02Does your son know how to use a pocket bell?
10:06He doesn't know how to use it.
10:08He can use it.
10:10I see.
10:11I thought I would be in trouble if I couldn't use it when something happened.
10:14Recently, I've heard that there are fewer and fewer pocket bells.
10:20In recent years, pocket bells have played an important role as an emergency communication tool in the event of a disaster.
10:29I asked NTT Nishi-Nihan why pocket bells are useful in the event of a disaster.
10:36Pocket bells receive the necessary electrical power through the telephone line from the NTT building.
10:43Therefore, it is possible to use pocket bells that cost 10 yen or 100 yen even if there is a power outage due to a disaster.
10:52Also, even if there is a traffic jam due to a power outage due to a disaster,
10:58pocket bells are a priority telephone in the event of a disaster.
11:02Therefore, they are a target of communication regulations and are easy to connect.
11:10Pocket bells are useful when there is a power outage or a disaster.
11:16Here is the second survey.
11:18Can young people make a phone call on their own now?
11:25You can make a phone call to elementary school students and university students by using a telephone card.
11:36First, Mr. Ogawa will challenge from the three Nakayoshi University students who were in the cheerleading club in high school.
11:44Have you ever made a phone call on your own?
11:48I have made a phone call with money.
11:50With money?
11:51Yes, with coins.
11:52Not with a telephone card?
11:53No.
11:54First time?
11:55Yes.
11:56Can you make a phone call on your own?
12:02That's enough.
12:03Huh?
12:08Are you OK?
12:11What?
12:12Why?
12:14Huh?
12:16Why?
12:17What's wrong?
12:18I don't know.
12:20Huh?
12:21You raised your hand, didn't you?
12:25Why?
12:26Telephone cards come back immediately.
12:28What's the reason?
12:32It's the other way around.
12:35The direction to insert the card is the other way around.
12:37You know that, don't you?
12:38Even with a cash card.
12:40The direction to insert the card is the other way around.
12:42Oh, I see.
12:43It's the problem before the telephone card.
12:50Oh, it's coming.
12:53Hello?
12:54Hello?
12:57Congratulations.
12:58You made it.
13:01You made it.
13:03I'm glad.
13:04I made a mistake in the direction of the card.
13:08I made a mistake in the direction of the card.
13:10That's right.
13:13The next challenger is Rion, a middle school girl who was shopping with her parents.
13:19I taught my daughter a lot of things.
13:21Now I can make a phone call with 10 yen.
13:25I have a smartphone now, but I can't use it when I go to school.
13:29So, I gave her 10 yen and asked her to make a phone call.
13:34Rion has never made a phone call with a telephone card.
13:39I can make a phone call with 10 yen.
13:44Oh, I see.
13:47That's right.
13:49This is the most obvious mistake.
14:00What did you do?
14:02You can do it!
14:03I thought I could make a phone call.
14:06I made a phone call.
14:10You can do it!
14:13Oh, I see.
14:15I see.
14:19I made a phone call.
14:22I made a phone call.
14:23I made a phone call.
14:24I took out the phone and put the card in it.
14:31That's right.
14:32That's right.
14:35I thought I could make a phone call.
14:39But I couldn't make a phone call, so I was confused.
14:42I learned how to use a 10-yen coin.
14:47I learned how to use a 10-yen coin.
14:50I learned how to use a 10-yen coin.
14:51I learned how to use a 10-yen coin.
14:52I learned how to use a 10-yen coin.
14:53The next challenger is a high school student.
14:57Have you ever used a public phone?
15:00I have never used a public phone.
15:01I have never used a public phone.
15:03I have never used a public phone.
15:04Yes, I haven't used a public phone.
15:06It's his first time using a public phone.
15:21What happened?
15:25Hello.
15:26Hello.
15:27Oh wow, it's working!
15:29High frequency phones are amazing.
15:31The sound quality is not bad at all.
15:34It's amazing that it can do all that.
15:36High frequency phones are fun.
15:40It's very easy to use.
15:42It's very refreshing.
15:44I've been using my smartphone all the time, but this is also fun.
15:48High frequency phones can be used even when the power is off.
15:51Did you know that?
15:53No, I didn't know that at all.
15:55High frequency phones can be used in disasters and earthquakes.
16:00I didn't know that.
16:02I didn't know there was such a good thing.
16:05The last one is Kobayashi, a fourth grader in elementary school who was shopping with his mother.
16:13When you enter the phone box, you can insert your phone card with the familiar trick.
16:25Hello?
16:27I can hear you.
16:29We are connected.
16:31I'm glad.
16:32Why did you hit me?
16:34I thought you were using the same phone as my smartphone.
16:37So I put my phone card in the box and checked the number.
16:39You are smart.
16:41You are very smart.
16:43Please give me your number.
16:45He knows me.
16:46When I was lost, he helped me.
16:51He told me to call him if I needed help.
16:54Let me show you how to make a good call for young people.
17:01First, raise the receiver.
17:04Then, insert the phone card.
17:08Make sure that you can hear the sound of the receiver.
17:12Then dial the number.
17:17You can make emergency calls for free.
17:23Raise the receiver and press the red button.
17:28Then dial the number.
17:32If you don't have a red button, raise the receiver and dial the number.
17:42If you are in trouble, dial the number.
17:44In this investigation, we couldn't find the person who actually uses the receiver and the phone card.
17:52However, we found out that he teaches how to use the receiver and the phone card.
18:02This is important.
18:04I was in a hurry, so I'll do it.
18:09You have to keep the receiver and the phone card in your wallet.
18:15It's important.
18:17It's important to check the location of the receiver and the phone card.
18:23You can check the location of the receiver and the phone card on the NTT website.
18:32You can make emergency calls for free.
18:35I didn't know that.
18:37I didn't know that, either.
18:38What kind of program is this?
18:40It's a program that protects the lives of animals.
18:47It's a program that protects the lives of animals.
18:50Can you say something nice to the audience?
18:56Don't worry, everyone.
18:59I'll make a phone card next to a handkerchief.
19:03I'll make a phone card next to a handkerchief.
19:05I'm a little worried about whether it will sell.
19:08Even if you go to a TV station, there are a lot of the same things.
19:16In such a case, it's not a phone card.
19:21That's why it stands out.
19:23That's why it stands out.
19:25It's a gift for the people who watch the program.
19:29Give it to the audience.
19:31I got it.
19:32You should hit the desk and say what you think.
19:35But.
19:39You can see the dorsal fin.
19:41There is a big fish swimming in the water.
19:44The biggest request in the history of the program.
19:48You should get rid of it right away.
20:03The biggest request in the history of the program.
20:05The biggest request in the history of the program.
20:09I received a request from Takaoka City in Toyama Prefecture.
20:16From Takaoka City?
20:18Has this program become so big?
20:21I see.
20:23Next is the prefecture.
20:25Let's get a request from the country.
20:28This is the first step.
20:30This is a request from Takaoka City.
20:32What kind of request did Takaoka City send?
20:34A foreign creature has been spotted at Takaoka City Park.
20:42It is said that it is concerned about the influence of other creatures.
20:45Please catch it.
20:48It's on TV a lot, isn't it?
20:49Yes.
20:50I don't know.
20:51I can't forgive anyone who talks about it.
20:55I'm from Takaoka City.
20:59I want you to make my wish come true.
21:01Is this your favorite park?
21:03Yes.
21:04I used to go to the park when I was in junior high school.
21:08There is a zoo in the park.
21:10Is it big?
21:11I go to the park with my youngest child.
21:13Takaoka City Park is selected as one of the 100 best parks in Japan.
21:18It is a scenic spot that represents Toyama for more than 400 years.
21:23The park is about 210,000 square meters.
21:27It is about 4.5 times the size of the Tokyo Dome.
21:31One-third of the park is a gorge.
21:34It is about 70,000 square meters.
21:37In the spring of this year, a giant alligator-like creature has been spotted in such a gorge.
21:45Information has been sent to Takaoka City Hall.
21:49I can't get rid of it right away.
21:53There was a big fish swimming in the gorge.
21:58I have never seen such a big fish here.
22:02There is still such a big fish here.
22:05What is that fish?
22:07It looks like a big fin that jumps out of the water.
22:10Is this an alligator?
22:15Takaoka City Hall is also concerned about this situation.
22:19In order to alleviate the concerns of the residents, they are asking the museum to do something about the alligator.
22:28I have a request from Takaoka City Hall.
22:33I want you to get rid of the alligator.
22:37I can't get rid of it as soon as possible.
22:40It's just getting bigger and bigger.
22:42What should I do with this request?
22:46There is a program called DRAWING WATER.
22:50That is the best way.
22:52You can drain all the water.
22:54If you do that.
22:55We thought about it.
22:57First of all, it's a song.
22:59You don't have that kind of pride.
23:02You can do whatever you want.
23:06The gorge is too large.
23:09It is difficult to drain the water because it occupies one-third of the area of the park.
23:17I think it's going to be a big deal.
23:21There are people who catch big fish.
23:25It's like a marine hunter.
23:27Why don't you come to that person?
23:29That's a good idea.
23:31right?
23:32It's fast.
23:33You can't fish in that gorge.
23:36That's why we invited people to fish.
23:41That's a good idea.
23:42Who didn't appear in this program?
23:44Mr. MISU.
23:46That's right.
23:47Why didn't you invite Mr. MISU?
23:50He caught a lot of fish.
23:51That's right.
23:52He can catch big fish.
23:54Let's invite people to fish.
23:57There are people who volunteer and cooperate.
24:01That's right.
24:02It would be great if we could invite people to fish.
24:04Let's shoot it.
24:06If you like fishing, please leave it to me.
24:10Please cooperate with us.
24:14We are waiting for your application.
24:17After this, he said something unexpected.
24:21You are a romanticist.
24:23I'm a romanticist.
24:32He is a romanticist.
24:38I want to call someone tonight.
24:42I will call you on the phone.
24:43I will call you on the phone.
24:44I have a phone in my house.
24:46I bought a juice at a convenience store.
24:51I will call you on the phone.
24:54I don't have to call you.
24:57I will call you.
24:59You are a romanticist.
25:01I'm a romanticist.
