00:31How old are you?
00:3373
00:3473 years old
00:36Oh, I see
00:39Have you ever been to Japan?
00:41No
00:42Why do you want to take a picture of your birthday?
00:46Oh, I'm a birder
00:51Screech howl
00:52Screech howl?
00:53Screech howl
00:55Screech howl
00:57Oh, you're like a bird
01:01He's a bird
01:04How long have you been a bird photographer?
01:08Probably 10, 15 years
01:10I'm from Tennessee
01:12Great Smoky Mountains National Park
01:16What's the photograph?
01:20He likes cranes
01:23Oh, cranes
01:25So many cranes
01:27He's taking a lot of pictures
01:29He's enjoying his second life chasing cranes
01:36All along, so I read a lot of books
01:39Japanese paintings and the tancho is flying through the mountains
01:45And then I saw this
01:48I would like to see a couple of tancho together
01:52But you can only tell that if they're calling
01:55Mating for life
01:57Like they don't get divorces
02:00We have sand hill cranes
02:04They're different species of cranes
02:07I've never been to Hokkaido
02:09So it'll be fun to take a picture of the scenery
02:12His goal is to catch cranes
02:15We're just going to be behind you
02:20Oh, yeah, sure, if you want to come
02:29We're going by train
02:31I wanted to take a picture
02:33But we're already here
02:36Welcome
02:39Oh, nice to meet you
02:41Yes, thank you
02:44Oh, wow
02:46Okay
02:48Let me pull out my book
02:53Sorry
02:58This national park right here
03:00Fushiro Shitsugen National Park
03:05This is where Tsururi
03:11And then they'll have other little places you can go around there
03:15There's another map on the internet that shows that
03:19But I don't have that in here
03:24Yeah, I got it
03:26Where are we going?
03:28Okay
03:30Fushiro Shitsugen National Park
03:36First, let's go to Fushiro Shitsugen
03:44Yeah, this whole area is the habitat of them
03:49So you can find them anywhere in this
03:52Wow, amazing
03:55It's as big as Japan
03:59I wonder if I can find them in this big green
04:07It's a beautiful bird
04:10A rare special natural monument
04:14It rarely appears in front of people
04:18Because it's in Shitsugen
04:20I see
04:22It must be hard to find them
04:24This is hard
04:27It's smooth
04:29Yeah, this is where we saw them too
04:31Wait, wait, wait
04:34There they are
04:36Can we get out?
04:38Can you turn right here?
04:40Turn right here
04:42Turn right here
04:43It's like a crane
04:48What do you want me to feed you?
04:50There are people who sell cigarettes
04:52I want you to sell cigarettes
04:55I'm going to buy cigarettes
04:58You're going to buy them?
05:03What do you think?
05:05No, I'm not going to sell cigarettes
05:07I'll sell the ground
05:11You're going to sell the ground?
05:13Yes, the ground
05:14And what will you sell?
05:16It's a bird
05:19There we are! Can we get out?
05:22Can you turn in right here?
05:24Turn in right here!
05:35Not so fast!
05:49I don't know if we can make it bigger
05:51If we do this, it'll be close to a meter
05:53It's not that big
06:01I don't know
06:06I don't know!
06:14Ah, I see
06:16If we go in here, it's over
06:18That was great!
06:22That was great!
06:32Oh, Kushiro Marsh Observatory
06:34Right here
06:38And this is an observation point, too
06:40Right there
06:49It's a great design
06:52This house is lively
07:02Ah, I see
07:03The knees are not what they used to be
07:05Ah, I see
07:09Ah, the knees are in danger
07:11He doesn't lose to the pain in his knees
07:13He's looking for a way out
07:18He's looking for a way out
07:26Wow, this is amazing
07:28A panoramic view
07:34Is there a Tanchozuru in Tsugai?
07:45It would be great if we could find it with this
07:48But it's too far
07:50No matter how far it is, it's too far
08:02It's intense again
08:04Up and down
08:06Are your knees okay?
08:08It's hard to go down
08:10It's dangerous
08:12This is dangerous
08:14I'm sweating
08:16I'm fine
08:18I'm fine
08:20I'm fine
08:22Don't worry
08:24I gotta get my knees
08:26It's dangerous
08:28Ryu, are you okay?
08:30I have a bomb on my knee
08:32I have a bomb on my knee
08:37He fell in love at first sight
08:39He fell in love at first sight
08:41That was 12 years ago
08:44He was 60 years old
08:46He fell in love at first sight
08:48He fell in love at first sight
09:04He was supported by his beloved wife
09:06He retired at 65
09:08He retired at 65
09:13This is the very first trip that we took abroad
09:17Let's plan a trip to Cuba
09:22A gift from his wife, Ryu
09:25A gift from his wife, Ryu
09:27A gift from his wife, Ryu
09:29A gift from his wife, Ryu
09:31A gift from his wife, Ryu
09:33They told each other what they wanted to do
09:35They told each other what they wanted to do
09:40She would have enjoyed being here
09:42She would have enjoyed being here
09:44Did she say?
09:46She came here alone
09:48She came here alone
09:50Wait a minute
09:52He wants to see her birth
09:56He wants to see her birth
09:58He promised to make Ryu's wife's dream come true
10:00He promised to make Ryu's wife's dream come true
10:02He promised to make Ryu's wife's dream come true
10:04She had a history of lung cancer
10:06After about a year, she passed on
10:10I just don't get that emotional about saying goodbye, you know.
10:25When I get home, I will develop those pictures and take it to her grave site.
10:31The Tancho also enjoy each other, and so they don't separate.
10:37I'm going to take a photo of the Tancho couple in order to picture this to my wife's grave site.
10:56Well, let's go check it out then.
10:59Let's go check it out.
11:07This is Tancho Park, so why don't we go ask them about Tancho couples.
11:16Excuse me!
11:20This is the Tancho couple's grave site.
11:27Thank you very much.
11:30He knows a lot about Tancho couples.
11:36Winter season, the same scene is this.
11:43That's what I expect.
11:47Where do you suggest I can see a pair?
11:51If you're lucky.
11:56That's right.
11:57If you're lucky, you can see a pair.
12:01If you're lucky, you can see a pair.
12:07If there are different calls, then you know it's a female or a male.
12:13If there are different calls, then you know it's a female or a male.
12:19Ikenaka, Genta 89, Nishida Toshiyuki-san.
12:24He knows a lot about Tancho couples.
12:27I got some valuable information.
12:30There's a convenience store called Seiko Mart in orange.
12:34Don't worry, I got you.
12:36Let's go check it out.
12:40I think this is the point.
12:44There they are, out there in the field.
12:46Here you are.
12:48Yeah, that's good.
12:51This is interesting.
12:53I want to try it.
12:55I wonder if there's a female.
12:59There she is.
13:03She looks like a female.
13:06She's big.
13:08She looks like a rice ball.
13:12I can only think of one.
13:14I can only think of one.
13:16I can only think of one.
13:18Rice balls are the worst.
13:32There's a female.
13:36There she is.
13:38Even if it's a female, she's not far away.
13:41I don't think there's a female.
13:43They move together, right?
13:45I'm scared.
13:47I wonder if there's a male.
13:49I don't know.
13:51Oh, there we go.
13:53There's a fight.
13:56Wow, that's amazing.
13:58I think it's a male.
14:00Wow, that's amazing.
14:02It's big.
14:04I see.
14:07It's hard to catch.
14:11It's getting dark.
14:16I didn't see what I wanted to see,
14:19so I'm crossing my fingers I might do that.
14:21I might see them tomorrow.
14:26Hello.
14:28Hello.
14:33It's different from the beginning.
14:36There's something missing.
14:38That's right.
14:42Wow.
14:44That's an amazing place.
14:46Do you want to park?
14:48Can you park right here?
14:51I wonder if I can find a place to sleep.
14:56Oh, it's a date.
15:00Oh, no.
15:03It's downhill.
15:05I might get tired.
15:07That's true.
15:09It's an old place.
15:11It's an old place.
15:15We've been traveling for a long time.
15:18It's a restaurant.
15:25What did he order?
15:27It looks good.
15:29Aren't you guys getting anything?
15:31That's nice.
15:33It's a natural-born monkey.
15:35It's freshly fried and crispy.
15:38It's the fourth one.
15:39It's rare.
15:43Oh, right here.
15:46This is for this.
15:48No, no, no.
15:50That soup is to dip in the noodle.
15:53I didn't know that.
16:05How does the soba taste?
16:08It's good.
16:09It's good.
16:20I'm full of energy.
16:25It's a power charge.
16:26Do you know where we might find some Tancho?
16:32If you really want to see it, there's a place called Tsurukouen.
16:36If you go there, you can see it for sure.
16:37For sure?
16:40Thank you very much.
16:41Goodbye.
16:42Goodbye.
16:45Thank you very much.

17:02It's a rare natural park in the world.
17:09There it is.
17:11It's a crow.
17:14It's crying.
17:16The crane is crying.
17:17That's it.
17:18Lucky, lucky.
17:21The sound of the crane is amazing.
17:25Maybe they don't.
17:26This is a male and a female.
17:30Okay, go.
