sorry for my english, I am from Chile, South America, I am a doctor, I work in a hospital in my city, and 3 years ago a patient with heart problems arrived, his dog arrived following the ambulance, and to this day I see his dog waiting for him even though he died 3 years ago, we took care of him, feeding him, and he is always there, it has been almost 4 years now, it is incredible, everyone loves him and feeds him, whenever I can I go out to give some love and play with him, It is incredible how noble these animals are
There's a hachiko statue in shibuya Station. I don't know about now but everyone (couples, friends, families) used to say "Let's meet in front of the Hachiko". when there were no smart phones.
I remember lying on my sofa watching this film years ago on a Saturday afternoon expecting a nice entertaining dog movie and by the end I was bawling like a baby 😆😭😭
This happened to me with "Marley and me", because I already knew Hachiko's story so I kind of knew what was coming, but the other one caught me by surprise :'(
Hachikō (ハチ公, 10 November 1923 - 8 March 1935) was a Japanese Akita dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, for whom he continued to wait for over nine years following Ueno's death. Hachikō was born on November 10, 1923, at a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture. In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor at the Tokyo Imperial University, brought him to live in Shibuya, Tokyo, as his pet. Hachikō would meet Ueno at Shibuya Station every day after his commute home. This continued until May 21, 1925, when Ueno died of a cerebral hemorrhage while at work. From then until his death on March 8, 1935, Hachikō would return to Shibuya Station every day to await Ueno's return. During his lifetime, the dog was held up in Japanese culture as an example of loyalty and fidelity. Well after his death, he continues to be remembered in worldwide popular culture, with statues, movies, books, and appearances in various media. Hachikō is known in Japanese as chūken Hachikō (忠犬ハチ公) "faithful dog Hachikō", hachi meaning "eight" and -kō which originates as a suffix once used for ancient Chinese dukes; thus, Hachikō could be roughly translated as either "Mr. Eight" or "Sir Eight"
My Japanese is not as skilled as I might wish...I thought Hachiko meant "Lady Warrior-spirit" and couldn't guess why it would be the name of a male dog. (Hachiman (warrior spirit), -ko (Lady noble).
[ハチ=eight (hachi); 公 = buddy]. Yes, one of the meanings of kou (公) is "monarch" or "ruler." It also means "public." The Kanji kou (公) also is used to mean "buddy" or "pal." Usually the kanji (君) is used with the reading of -kimi (きみ). Context matters. Your translation is incorrect. Even if it were not, upon hearing the name Hachiko, no Japanese person will be thinking "Mr. Eight," "Sir Eight," or even "Buddy Eight Thousand." Just like a French person hearing the name Rene, does not "hear" Rebirth. In other words literal translations are misleading. Besides, in Japanese the hachi as well as other kanji can be used to form "Hachikou" to form female names and family names. Hachikou is simply a name. Using the English honorifics "Mr." and "Sir" is particularly strange in translating the Japanese . The typical honorific used for animals is -chan (ちゃん). Hachikou-chan (ハチ公ちゃん) is proper Japanese.
@@Rabbithole8 I know it's kind of confusing but katakana has no meaning to them it's kind of like alphabet so ハ and チ put together doesn't mean eight thousand although they do look like kanji 八 hachi and 千 sen eight and thousand 八千 eight thousand is pronounced hassen never hachi. hi from japan.
@@キジトラたろ Thank you for the correction. I actually do know the difference between kanji and katakana and hiragana. Even years after living in Japan and learning Japanese I still make rookie mistakes. I actually know better, ha ha. I'm sure you experience the same with English.
In 2015, 90 years after the professor's death and 80 years after Hachi's death, on March 8, the anniversary of Hachi's death, a bronze statue was erected in the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Tokyo where the professor taught. It is a statue of Hachi, who went to pick up the professor, being pampered by the professor. The wishes of those who loved Hachi and the professor took shape, and they were finally reunited. They will never be separated again.
@@pjmlemon3280 yeah it's very bloody and but it's the reason why dog fighting was banned in Mexico. So it had a good impact but not for the faint of heart
This is the story that almost killed me with so much crying. Thank you for reacting! In addition to Hachiko's statue at Shibuya station, there's another statue unveiled in 2015 showing Hachiko reunited with his owner. I remember reading that article and seeing the statue I cried again imagining Hachi getting reunited with his owner after 9yrs.
Akitas are great dogs. But civilizing them is a lot of work. They’re intelligent, willful, and powerful. People should definitely research any dog breed before getting it, but this goes double for Akitas. Do it right and you have one of the best companions in the world. I know this because my 4 year old Akita girl is about two meters away, on her dog couch, watching me.
Many Japanese know the story of Hachi. It is also published in textbooks. It used to be popular as a good story of loyalty. Nowadays, it is popular as a proof that dogs have the same heart as humans.
I know Hachiko because I'm Japanese. It is a well-known dog in Japan. It would be trivia, but Hachiko wore a good harness. In Japan at that time, the dog's harness was regarded as an amulet for safe delivery, so it was thought to be a stray dog because it was stolen and was caught several times by the staff of the health centre. But each time he was protected by a police officer who knew Hachiko, and kept waiting for his owner for the rest of his life.
When I was a child I had a dog for 13 years. My Dad brought her home as a puppy when I was 3, we grew up together. She was a border collie, and loved to chase cars. We tried to keep her from it. One of the worst days of my life was when I was 15, came home from school and found her lying in the road. She had been run over. That was 41 years ago. I'll never forget her and I still love her. This movie wrecks everyone, including me.
I visited Japan and paid respect to Hachiko's statue. 😥 The owner and Hachiko were buried next to each other later .😥 The exit in the train station Hachiko waited is now named after Hachiko.
The same story happened with the dog Naida. She waited for the master for almost 12 years. In 2005, at one of the pedestrian crossings in Komsomolsk-on-Amur (a city in Russia), a car hit a man with a dog. The man died on the spot, the dog's leg was injured. Someone says that the dog was taken to a veterinary clinic for treatment, someone that she simply disappeared for a while. And then Naida reappeared. Hairy red-haired Naida ran to the bus stop passing near the accident site, and began to meet the buses approaching her, as if she was waiting for someone. The locals recognized the dog: people guessed who she was hoping to see. In the early years, local residents tried several times to shelter Naida. All attempts ended the same way: Naida was given into good hands, she ran away and returned to the bus stop. She spent almost 12 years at the bus stop. In 2016, Naida was hit by a car for the second time in her life not far from that bus stop. After that, the dogs were taken to animal rights activists. There she soon died. Center staff report that this was due to old age rather than to injuries. In April 2017, the Sculpture of the Dog was decided to be placed at the same bus stop.

i remember watching this with my brothers and my father, we were expecting just a regular dog movie like something similar to airbud or homeward bound or even Beethoven, we were so wrong. we never cried for any movie, even if it had a very sad scene. oh boy did that not happen here, my brothers and i were balling and even my dad was crying. my sister and mother were laughing at us bc they walked in on men crying at the very end of the movie. they did not know how a movie could make us cry until they watched it. its funny to think about now, i will remember that moment forever. it was the very first time i ever cried for a movie scene/plot/story/character
Long before the time of most of the people reading this, there was a movie called "Old Yeller" about a boy and his dog that came out on Christmas 1957. That was a movie that had grown men who had fought wars crying. Boys were sobbing in the aisles.
Even though I am female (so, I don't fit stereotypes perfectly), for most of my life I never "happened to" cry to virtually anything, and it wasn't until somewhat recently when I was about 35 years old until ONE particular movie strongly triggered tears from me (THAT "first kryptonite" of mine happened to be Pixar's "Inside Out"). That was also when I noticed that feel-good brain endorphins can actually come along with tears (which did surprise me, when I noticed I was actually wanting MORE movies that triggered that effect in me!). So, despite my history of avoiding tearjerkers and/or just not getting affected by them anyway... I started enthusiastically seeking them out! It took a few YEARS for me to find another that "worked on me" (next one was "Interstellar"). Then I did eventually find a good handful. But THIS one... oh my God. I didn't even see the whole movie (I don't have easy access to it, so my first view was just a reaction; one with good complete movie segments but still "just" a reaction video)... and it STILL made me cry at least three times during my first watch of that reaction video. But I also wondered to myself why I didn't cry even harder than I did, given how objectively sad it was... and I got my answer later that night when I noticed how thoughts of the movie were intruding into my brain AND I finally noticed that I was involuntarily pushing them away (because they were too painful). Knowing very well it's not healthy to "repress" like that... I voluntarily let myself feel and process it... and yeah, that resulted in one of THE hardest cries of my life.
Front of Shibuya station, there is statue of Hachi still waiting for Dr. Ueno. However, Tokyo University Dr. Ichinose want to reunite both of them. Then lots of people agree with his idea and donated to create new statue of them. In the 2015, Hachi and Dr. Ueno met again at Tokyo University. The statue good described their joyful and happiness momemt.
Oh my god as soon as I saw the title I was like “ooooh my”. I’m half Japanese and grew up with the story of Hachiko, it absolutely melts my heart every time
I saw the statue when I was living in Japan and I didn't think much of it. I just thought "What a cute, loyal pup" When I saw the movie I cried so much, luckily I moved away from Japan by that point. If I saw that statue after the movie I would've been crying like a baby.
@I am me Mine is also something like that man people (selfish ones) don't care about their speed limit of bikes in my place, they killed my 2 dogs and a lamb and they never even try to look back after hitting it with bike and we don't have many veterinary doctors either
Imagine the ending where hachi sees him finally arrive(which symbolized hachis passing and they finally met again in the after life) *Que in WaterWorks*
Same here- for most of my life I never "happened to" cry to virtually anything, and it wasn't until somewhat recently when I was about 35 years old until ONE particular movie strongly triggered tears from me (THAT "first kryptonite" of mine happened to be Pixar's "Inside Out").

If this movie doesn't make you feel anything you are not human. So heartbreaking. Can never watch it without bawling my eyes out. That poor poor thing 😭😭😭
So true, I stayed in Shibuya, Japan for a week and frequently rode that same train in a much more modern station. Took family pictures by the Hachi Statue, its also a place for young Japanese men and women to meet up. I cried when I touched that statue...such loyalty from man's best friend.
I had the same reaction watching "A Dog's Journey" I lost my 8 year old dachshund Buckee to renal failure on September 26th 2018. I'm not married and don't have kids and live by myself, so he was like my child, very close bond with him. When I lost him it completely destroyed me. I went through a level of grief I've never felt before. I literally grieved harder for him, than any human family member I've lost. I watched the movie about a week after I lost him and that was a big mistake, I think sobbed through the entire film. Goes to show you that you can have stronger bond with them than people.
I remember watching this when I was younger. I couldn't stop crying for 15 minutes. Years later I watched that one Futurama episode (iykyk) and I just couldn't deal with it all over again
I watched the Futurama episode when i was younger....man, that hurted so much..... Then i Found out about Hachiko. Didn't hurt as It should because i was already used to It....but man....Is this depressing....
one characteristic of this breed is that they get totally devoted to one person. one of life's greatest experiences is to be chosen number 1 by the family pet
Superb. A gold star for Larry & the editing team on this video; we can follow Mish and Ellie’s personal narration and their deeply-felt, heart-wrenching “journey” throughout this film, as much as watching the film narrative itself. What a tear-jerker!!
I can watch this movie a thousand times and every time it will make me cry as a little baby. It's heart breaking yet has a great ending❤ Hachiko's love and devotion and loyalty has no rivals. Great reaction guys! Greetings from Argentina
Truly a beautiful and inspiring movie of friendship and loyalty. I have visited Hachiko’s statue at Shibuya station in Japan. It was very crowded with many people in tears.. I heard that there’s another statue on the Tokyo University campus.
"Is it smelling really that bad?" Well, let's put it this way: When I was younger, my family had a little white dog. When she got skunked, she smelled so bad that my dad decided to try a "home remedy" he'd been told about, which was to wash her in tomato soup. So then we had a dog that smelled of skunk and tomato soup. 🙈 And the soup turned her hair a pink/orange color!
When the two girls hugging their dogs after watching the movie, it looks like the two dogs saying each other , "Hey pal, what the hell happend to them and why they started to hug us suddenly???" .
"Old Yeller" is a must watch, if you haven't already." This movie reminds me of my last dog which I had for over 10 years. Got her when she was 4 months. Her original owner came for visit years after not seeing her, and recognized her immediately. The doggie became so happy, wagging her tail while being hugged by her original momma
Dogs are incredible. My dad had a dog named Duke, a black lab mutt at the time I was born. He loved my family so much and was very protective and like Hachiko, would listen for the sound of my dad's truck when he would return from work. My grandfather hated Duke and stole him when my dad was out. When my dad came home and Duke wasn't there to greet him, he started to call but Duke was gone. My grandfather told my dad he took Duke and drove him to a forest, maybe 15 miles away and left him. They got into a big argument in the driveway, but about 5 minutes into it, Duke came walking down the road and sat next to my dad. My dad said that the saddest day of his life was the day Duke died, not even the day his father died. That's all I need to know about the special bond between humans and dogs, which I've felt with every dog I've had the privilege to be buddies with since.
I am moved by the relationship that Michelle has with her dog. It's clearly not her pet but half of her heart. I hope they are together for many years.
Yeah I bawled my eyes out too since I knew about the story of Hachiko. When I went to Japan i got to see both statues. Main one at Shibuya Station and the other one at Tokyo University
I've saw this movie when it came out and it had me crying my eyes out. What a wonderful reaction, two beautiful ladies with their gorgeous dogs watching this beautiful heartbreaking film. I cried along with you even though I've seen it a few times ❤️ By the way, the movie Homeward Bound is a remake of the classic Incredible Journey. The animated film Plague Dogs (made by the Watership Down team) is another wonderful dog movie that will have you clutching your pets again x
i've never ugly cried to any movie until i stumbled upon this gem of a movie.. there i was just expecting nothing more than a happy movie of a dog and his owner LOL
The Hachiko statue is a well known landmark in Japan. It is located at Shibuya station in Tokyo. It is a popular meeting spot. Their are benches that surround the statue. People tell others they will be waiting at the Hachi statue so they can meet them there.
It is said that his late father often patted Hachiko on the head as he headed towards Shibuya Station. It seems that everyone around Shibuya Station loved Hachiko.
This reaction to Hachiko's story was powerful. I feel your hearts pouring through and the pain you share with us connects us all as humans. Now, we need a Viki, Lia and Laura Hachi reaction.
I'm Japanese. The story of "Hachi" is a true event that took place in Japan and is known as the story of "Hachiko, the Loyal Dog." It is a well-known tale among Japanese people. The statue of Hachiko at Shibuya represents this story.
Totally heartbreaking and I'm sure you're both destroyed. So many tears that you're now dehydrated. Thank you for sharing your lovely reaction to this amazing movie. I know you will go hug your dogs for 3 days straight!
This is the movie to do it, for sure- for most of my life I never "happened to" cry to virtually anything, and it wasn't until somewhat recently when I was about 35 years old until ONE particular movie strongly triggered tears from me (THAT "first kryptonite" of mine happened to be Pixar's "Inside Out").

Literally reminding me of both my dogs, yes, they are still alive. But this film made me bawl like a hungry baby. Like I couldn’t stop crying. My parents came in and watch me cry and they asked me, “Are you crying?” and I replied, “No, it’s just sweaty eyes.” 😂😂
Beautiful movie. I watched for the first time years ago and I couldn't stop crying. Four months ago my dog died and I still miss her. I will remmember her forever. Thanks for this reaction video.
Greatest dog movie I ever watched ! Now That's what I call loyalty! You ladies gone broken in this movie so many tears but don't worry I tear up every time I see the scene of Master reunited with dog and greatest movie I ever watched
Such a heartfelt reaction to a beautiful movie. Sad movie, but beautiful. I’ll admit I choked up during the flashbacks the first time I saw it. Hachi remembering his owner at the end was so sad.
Soon as we saw what movie was being reacted too…we just knew that it would shatter your hearts 🥺💔. Hope your pups 🐶 🐶 watched over you both until the pain subsided 🙏.
One of my dad's childhood dogs was a Dalmatian my grandpa took with him whenever he was hunting. After he died, my uncles and aunts had to drive to the cemetery every day to pick her up at my grandpa's grave.
WOW!, I never heard of this movie but tears are filling my eyes for the last 15 minutes, a great movie. I love having your dogs on the set when you all are watching movies. great review/reaction.

You two are the sweetest women in the whole wide world. Everytime you cry, you take a piece away from me, and I can't help but cry along with you. I really hope one day I will find a woman like you two, a woman I can connect with and cry with. I grew up with two sisters, I never had a brother, so my entire young life I spent watching chick flicks with them. Some mornings, I'd wake up, walk into the living room, and find the most beautiful woman in the world, my mother, watching While You Were Sleeping with tears running down her face. It was my mother who showed me what empathy is. Other times I'd watch Ella Enchanted or The Princess Diaries with my sisters and we'd hang out and do stuff together. But the last decade or so, I've been a little distant with my sister's and my mother and I miss them so much. I live with my father, and I don't see them nearly as much as I used to. Watching you two express your emotions, it gives me the feeling I used to feel when I'd hang out with my sisters. It is the most beautiful feeling in this whole world to be able to cry with a woman. I don't know how men without sisters and mothers go on without experiencing a good long cry once in a while. I love you two for the women you are, and I love sharing with you the days I am emotionally alone. You have no idea how thankful I am for this channel, sometimes people in this world just need someone to cry with, and the worst thing in this world is when you need to cry and you have nobody to be around ❤️❤️
I'm a woman, but I have a not-so-stereotypical history (with an interesting twist later on!) when it comes to tearjerkers: For most of my life I never "happened to" cry to virtually anything, and it wasn't until somewhat recently when I was about 35 years old until ONE particular movie strongly triggered tears from me (THAT "first kryptonite" of mine happened to be Pixar's "Inside Out").

Knowing very well it's not healthy to "repress" like that... I voluntarily let myself feel and process it... and yeah, that resulted in one of THE hardest cries of my life. But... believe it or not, I still have yet to cry to a movie WITH someone (in the past especially, I had just thought of such a possibility as extremely awkward for some reason, despite not having been socialized against crying or anything like that). I do think I might like to, though!
Awe so cute! I just lost my doggie to cancer. I took him in from a co-worker who found him. That dog saved my life and taught me love and care again. My friend had a Akita great dog. Definitely loyal and will protect his family.
This all happened in a small town in Japan. The people of the town erected a statue of the dog to commemorate the dog's loyalty. How long did Hachikō the dog wait for his owner? He did this every day for nearly a decade. Hachikō the dog was more than a pet. As the canine companion to a university professor, Hachikō patiently waited his owner’s return from work at their local train station each evening. But when the professor died suddenly one day at work, Hachikō was left waiting at the station - for nearly a decade.
I watched the entire video waiting for the end credits and for Ellie to realize it’s based on a true story and see her reaction, 42:40 did not disappoint and it’s similar to the way I reacted in highschool when we watched this movie in class.
I'd seen this movie before my GF did with the same reaction. One night in bed,she said "Pick a good movie for me" so I put this on and feel asleep.Next day she said "You F;n asshole,that movie had me bawling my eyes while you were just there just laying there sleeping,I hate you." She meant it in a kind way.
I grew up in Woonsocket, RI where parts of this movie were filmed. THE WOONSOCKET CALL is a real newspaper. My house was a few streets away from the train station, as is the Church I gree up in and bring my mom to every week. My grandparents on my dad's side lived in an apartment building on the other side of the bridge just outside the station.
Ooooooooooooooh shit. I was NOT ready for this today lol. This is a GEM of a movie but also one of the saddest ever made. It's right there with Marley and Me and Ol' Yeller....the only other movie I cried so hard than those is My Sister's Keeper (react to that!)
"Oh look, they have a reaction to Hachiko, that's such a beautiful movie, it's sad but I know what happens, so it won't be that heartbreaking this time"...40 minutes later, my husband arrives and freaks out seeing me crying with heart wrenching sobs while watching only a REACTION of the movie! Oh boy, I was not prepared for that... P.D. Once he noticed I was watching something, he hug me and was like "Amor, please stop watching sad videos of cute dogs, that always make you cry" lol And I ended up laughing through the tears ❤️
If you come to Shibuya Crossing in Japan, there is a statue of Hachiko, the faithful dog. In front of the Hachiko statue in Shibuya, this is still one of the meeting places for people living in Tokyo.
Oh man, I was thinking what a reaction would be like to this movie not too long ago. This one’s a real tearjerker. Saw it when I was a teenager, and didn’t stop hugging my dog for weeks after. And to make matters worse, it’s a true story.
Dogs can really be the kindest, most gentle friends one can Hope for. This movie Is amazing, so was Hachi. Anyway i Don't think I'd stay sane watching a whole movie with my friend talking and producing ultrasound non stop next to me🤣🤣
If I remember correctly, there is such a rule in Japan. If you have agreed to meet at the Shibuya station at the Hachiko Monument, then you can not be late under any circumstances.
Yes there is a statue at the train station and another statue of Haichi and the professor at the school!!!! It’s a must visit for anyone who visits Tokyo!!! I will go to see both statues when I finally get to visit Tokyo hopefully one day soon!!!! 🙏🏻❤️
@@cynthiarivadeo3201 its like Middle Of Everything Tokyo & that statue is a great meeting place. Tons of stuff to see with that at the center. Plus its a true story of a dog.
The fact that this is a true story (taking place in Japan originally) makes it even more heart wrenching😭
sorry for my english, I am from Chile, South America, I am a doctor, I work in a hospital in my city, and 3 years ago a patient with heart problems arrived, his dog arrived following the ambulance, and to this day I see his dog waiting for him even though he died 3 years ago, we took care of him, feeding him, and he is always there, it has been almost 4 years now, it is incredible, everyone loves him and feeds him, whenever I can I go out to give some love and play with him, It is incredible how noble these animals are
There's a hachiko statue in shibuya Station. I don't know about now but everyone (couples, friends, families) used to say "Let's meet in front of the Hachiko". when there were no smart phones.
@@user-rp87gd0g
🐶now👍🇯🇵
@@user-rp87gd0g yep. I used to live in Japan and that'd how I learned about Hatchi. He's a huge idol there and everyone knows about him
I need to watch this in Japanese
I remember lying on my sofa watching this film years ago on a Saturday afternoon expecting a nice entertaining dog movie and by the end I was bawling like a baby 😆😭😭
This happened to me with "Marley and me", because I already knew Hachiko's story so I kind of knew what was coming, but the other one caught me by surprise :'(
I had a similar experience with this film. Thought I was gonna watch a film about a dog and his bond with his human(s).
Boy was I in for a surprise. 😭
I know the feeling
If there's a movie centered around a dog, I just go in expecting it to be a heart wrencher
Jep, had the same experience... And everytime after that, when i watch it again.....
Hachiko is one of the most beloved dogs of all time. If I ever make it to Japan, his statue is a must-bow.
Hachikō (ハチ公, 10 November 1923 - 8 March 1935) was a Japanese Akita dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, for whom he continued to wait for over nine years following Ueno's death.
Hachikō was born on November 10, 1923, at a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture. In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor at the Tokyo Imperial University, brought him to live in Shibuya, Tokyo, as his pet. Hachikō would meet Ueno at Shibuya Station every day after his commute home. This continued until May 21, 1925, when Ueno died of a cerebral hemorrhage while at work. From then until his death on March 8, 1935, Hachikō would return to Shibuya Station every day to await Ueno's return.
During his lifetime, the dog was held up in Japanese culture as an example of loyalty and fidelity. Well after his death, he continues to be remembered in worldwide popular culture, with statues, movies, books, and appearances in various media. Hachikō is known in Japanese as chūken Hachikō (忠犬ハチ公) "faithful dog Hachikō", hachi meaning "eight" and -kō which originates as a suffix once used for ancient Chinese dukes; thus, Hachikō could be roughly translated as either "Mr. Eight" or "Sir Eight"
My Japanese is not as skilled as I might wish...I thought Hachiko meant "Lady Warrior-spirit" and couldn't guess why it would be the name of a male dog. (Hachiman (warrior spirit), -ko (Lady noble).
[ハチ=eight (hachi); 公 = buddy]. Yes, one of the meanings of kou (公) is "monarch" or "ruler." It also means "public." The Kanji kou (公) also is used to mean "buddy" or "pal." Usually the kanji (君) is used with the reading of -kimi (きみ). Context matters. Your translation is incorrect. Even if it were not, upon hearing the name Hachiko, no Japanese person will be thinking "Mr. Eight," "Sir Eight," or even "Buddy Eight Thousand." Just like a French person hearing the name Rene, does not "hear" Rebirth. In other words literal translations are misleading. Besides, in Japanese the hachi as well as other kanji can be used to form "Hachikou" to form female names and family names. Hachikou is simply a name. Using the English honorifics "Mr." and "Sir" is particularly strange in translating the Japanese . The typical honorific used for animals is -chan (ちゃん). Hachikou-chan (ハチ公ちゃん) is proper Japanese.
@@Rabbithole8 I know it's kind of confusing but katakana has no meaning to them it's kind of like alphabet so ハ and チ put together doesn't mean eight thousand although they do look like kanji 八 hachi and 千 sen eight and thousand 八千 eight thousand is pronounced hassen never hachi. hi from japan.
@@キジトラたろ Thank you for the correction. I actually do know the difference between kanji and katakana and hiragana. Even years after living in Japan and learning Japanese I still make rookie mistakes. I actually know better, ha ha. I'm sure you experience the same with English.

ハチ公=hachi-kou=Mr.8
In 2015, 90 years after the professor's death and 80 years after Hachi's death, on March 8, the anniversary of Hachi's death, a bronze statue was erected in the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Tokyo where the professor taught.
It is a statue of Hachi, who went to pick up the professor, being pampered by the professor.
The wishes of those who loved Hachi and the professor took shape, and they were finally reunited.
They will never be separated again.
Did they keep the statue of Hachiko waiting at the train station? That's a powerful statue. Simple, but very powerful.
@@ronlackey2689 Yes, the original Hachiko statue still waits at his spot at the train station.
@@Raelynn-nl5rd That's awesome. I need to make a pilgrimage.
No matter how many times you watch this movie, it wrecks your soul everytime 😭😭...... If possible, I would give this movie a rating of 11/10.
I watched it like 10 times and i still can't get through without cyring😭😭
Even the toughest of humans will cry watching this film. And the soundtrack makes it even more the powerful.
I agree
No.I have seen people not even caring
You think this movie is hard try watching amores Perrors the Mexican movie about dog fighting. That's hard to sit through
@@pandalol7118 You know some scary and heartless people.
@@pjmlemon3280 yeah it's very bloody and but it's the reason why dog fighting was banned in Mexico. So it had a good impact but not for the faint of heart
This is the story that almost killed me with so much crying. Thank you for reacting!
In addition to Hachiko's statue at Shibuya station, there's another statue unveiled in 2015 showing Hachiko reunited with his owner. I remember reading that article and seeing the statue I cried again imagining Hachi getting reunited with his owner after 9yrs.
Akitas are great dogs. But civilizing them is a lot of work. They’re intelligent, willful, and powerful. People should definitely research any dog breed before getting it, but this goes double for Akitas. Do it right and you have one of the best companions in the world. I know this because my 4 year old Akita girl is about two meters away, on her dog couch, watching me.
Many Japanese know the story of Hachi. It is also published in textbooks.
It used to be popular as a good story of loyalty.
Nowadays, it is popular as a proof that dogs have the same heart as humans.
More heart than humans
They taught us loyalty.
I know Hachiko because I'm Japanese. It is a well-known dog in Japan. It would be trivia, but Hachiko wore a good harness. In Japan at that time, the dog's harness was regarded as an amulet for safe delivery, so it was thought to be a stray dog because it was stolen and was caught several times by the staff of the health centre. But each time he was protected by a police officer who knew Hachiko, and kept waiting for his owner for the rest of his life.
Shout out to that police officer taking care of him for the next 9 years tho.
ハチが生きている頃から銅像を作ろうという運動はありました。たくさんの子供達が寄付金付きのキャラメルを買いました。また、戦争中に陸軍が武器を作るためハチの銅像を持ち去った後もさらに日本の人々は寄付を募って新たな銅像を建てました。
When I was a child I had a dog for 13 years. My Dad brought her home as a puppy when I was 3, we grew up together. She was a border collie, and loved to chase cars. We tried to keep her from it. One of the worst days of my life was when I was 15, came home from school and found her lying in the road. She had been run over. That was 41 years ago. I'll never forget her and I still love her. This movie wrecks everyone, including me.
Oh no. Thanks for sharing... So sad. Look at other Hallström movies like a "dogs purpose" to feel better...
I understand your pain man I too lost my 2 dogs and one died in front of my eyes
That's so sad. I've lost probably 3 dogs or so since I was a kid. It's no different than losing a family member or a best friend.
I visited Japan and paid respect to Hachiko's statue. 😥 The owner and Hachiko were buried next to each other later .😥 The exit in the train station Hachiko waited is now named after Hachiko.
The dog, lying bored beside its owners weeping, is the very embodiment of happiness.
I've been to Tokyo and Hachis statue has people lined up every day to take a picture with him!
The same story happened with the dog Naida. She waited for the master for almost 12 years.
In 2005, at one of the pedestrian crossings in Komsomolsk-on-Amur (a city in Russia), a car hit a man with a dog. The man died on the spot, the dog's leg was injured. Someone says that the dog was taken to a veterinary clinic for treatment, someone that she simply disappeared for a while. And then Naida reappeared. Hairy red-haired Naida ran to the bus stop passing near the accident site, and began to meet the buses approaching her, as if she was waiting for someone. The locals recognized the dog: people guessed who she was hoping to see. In the early years, local residents tried several times to shelter Naida. All attempts ended the same way: Naida was given into good hands, she ran away and returned to the bus stop. She spent almost 12 years at the bus stop. In 2016, Naida was hit by a car for the second time in her life not far from that bus stop. After that, the dogs were taken to animal rights activists. There she soon died. Center staff report that this was due to old age rather than to injuries. In April 2017, the Sculpture of the Dog was decided to be placed at the same bus stop.

i remember watching this with my brothers and my father, we were expecting just a regular dog movie like something similar to airbud or homeward bound or even Beethoven, we were so wrong. we never cried for any movie, even if it had a very sad scene. oh boy did that not happen here, my brothers and i were balling and even my dad was crying. my sister and mother were laughing at us bc they walked in on men crying at the very end of the movie. they did not know how a movie could make us cry until they watched it. its funny to think about now, i will remember that moment forever. it was the very first time i ever cried for a movie scene/plot/story/character
There is a statue of Hachi at Shibuya station in Tokyo.
If it snows in Tokyo, someone will wear a warm hat and scarf to Hachi.
feel ya..
Absolutely! Same thing here. Was with my fiancé and and father. To this day I’ve never cried/hyperventilating sobs as much than from this movie
Long before the time of most of the people reading this, there was a movie called "Old Yeller" about a boy and his dog that came out on Christmas 1957. That was a movie that had grown men who had fought wars crying. Boys were sobbing in the aisles.
Even though I am female (so, I don't fit stereotypes perfectly), for most of my life I never "happened to" cry to virtually anything, and it wasn't until somewhat recently when I was about 35 years old until ONE particular movie strongly triggered tears from me (THAT "first kryptonite" of mine happened to be Pixar's "Inside Out"). That was also when I noticed that feel-good brain endorphins can actually come along with tears (which did surprise me, when I noticed I was actually wanting MORE movies that triggered that effect in me!). So, despite my history of avoiding tearjerkers and/or just not getting affected by them anyway... I started enthusiastically seeking them out! It took a few YEARS for me to find another that "worked on me" (next one was "Interstellar"). Then I did eventually find a good handful.
But THIS one... oh my God. I didn't even see the whole movie (I don't have easy access to it, so my first view was just a reaction; one with good complete movie segments but still "just" a reaction video)... and it STILL made me cry at least three times during my first watch of that reaction video. But I also wondered to myself why I didn't cry even harder than I did, given how objectively sad it was... and I got my answer later that night when I noticed how thoughts of the movie were intruding into my brain AND I finally noticed that I was involuntarily pushing them away (because they were too painful). Knowing very well it's not healthy to "repress" like that... I voluntarily let myself feel and process it... and yeah, that resulted in one of THE hardest cries of my life.
Front of Shibuya station, there is statue of Hachi still waiting for Dr. Ueno. However, Tokyo University Dr. Ichinose want to reunite both of them. Then lots of people agree with his idea and donated to create new statue of them. In the 2015, Hachi and Dr. Ueno met again at Tokyo University. The statue good described their joyful and happiness momemt.
日本ではハチ公と上野博士の話は有名です。
日本の有名なスクランブル交差点のある渋谷駅には、今も上野博士を待つハチ公の銅像が立っています。多くのハチ公の映画ファンが訪れる観光スポットです。
そしてハチ公の飼い主だった上野博士は日本の農業工学を開いた創始者であり、東京大学校舎には上野博士とハチ公が再会する銅像があります。この銅像は感動的です。
犬は人間と最後まで友達でいてくれます。一緒に生きてる時間を大切にしてください。
Oh my god as soon as I saw the title I was like “ooooh my”. I’m half Japanese and grew up with the story of Hachiko, it absolutely melts my heart every time
Poor Ellie, she's such a kind soul!
I saw the statue when I was living in Japan and I didn't think much of it. I just thought "What a cute, loyal pup"
When I saw the movie I cried so much, luckily I moved away from Japan by that point. If I saw that statue after the movie I would've been crying like a baby.
I've lost a couple dogs so this movie hits really hard for multiple reasons. Very beautiful film 💜
did you check under the bed?
@Dakota Matos sorry to hear that man.
I would end up behind bars if someone did that to mine and I caught them
@Dakota Matos if you ever find who did it I offer my brother's 98% win rate as a criminal defense lawyer when you get his ass 👌🏽
@I am me Mine is also something like that man people (selfish ones) don't care about their speed limit of bikes in my place, they killed my 2 dogs and a lamb and they never even try to look back after hitting it with bike and we don't have many veterinary doctors either

これからも頑張って！！！
Imagine the ending where hachi sees him finally arrive(which symbolized hachis passing and they finally met again in the after life)
*Que in WaterWorks*
Normally i didn't cry during ANY movies. Hachiko was the first movie that broke me!
Was the same for me bro :(
Same here- for most of my life I never "happened to" cry to virtually anything, and it wasn't until somewhat recently when I was about 35 years old until ONE particular movie strongly triggered tears from me (THAT "first kryptonite" of mine happened to be Pixar's "Inside Out").

If this movie doesn't make you feel anything you are not human. So heartbreaking. Can never watch it without bawling my eyes out. That poor poor thing 😭😭😭
Now Ellie has to go to Japan and pet the statue of the "real" Hachiko!
And I'd bet she meltdown in tears too
So true, I stayed in Shibuya, Japan for a week and frequently rode that same train in a much more modern station. Took family pictures by the Hachi Statue, its also a place for young Japanese men and women to meet up. I cried when I touched that statue...such loyalty from man's best friend.
I had the same reaction watching "A Dog's Journey"
I lost my 8 year old dachshund Buckee to renal failure on September 26th 2018. I'm not married and don't have kids and live by myself, so he was like my child, very close bond with him. When I lost him it completely destroyed me. I went through a level of grief I've never felt before. I literally grieved harder for him, than any human family member I've lost.
I watched the movie about a week after I lost him and that was a big mistake, I think sobbed through the entire film. Goes to show you that you can have stronger bond with them than people.
I remember watching this when I was younger. I couldn't stop crying for 15 minutes. Years later I watched that one Futurama episode (iykyk) and I just couldn't deal with it all over again
I watched the Futurama episode when i was younger....man, that hurted so much.....
Then i Found out about Hachiko.
Didn't hurt as It should because i was already used to It....but man....Is this depressing....
"Jurassic Bark" hits really hard because it's so unexpected in a show like Futurama.
one characteristic of this breed is that they get totally devoted to one person. one of life's greatest experiences is to be chosen number 1 by the family pet
Superb. A gold star for Larry & the editing team on this video; we can follow Mish and Ellie’s personal narration and their deeply-felt, heart-wrenching “journey” throughout this film, as much as watching the film narrative itself. What a tear-jerker!!
I can watch this movie a thousand times and every time it will make me cry as a little baby. It's heart breaking yet has a great ending❤
Hachiko's love and devotion and loyalty has no rivals.
Great reaction guys!
Greetings from Argentina
これは日本での本当に有った実話なんです
今でも渋谷駅にはハチの銅像があります
This is a true story that really happened in Japan.
There is still a bronze statue of Hachi at shibuya Station
Truly a beautiful and inspiring movie of friendship and loyalty. I have visited Hachiko’s statue at Shibuya station in Japan. It was very crowded with many people in tears.. I heard that there’s another statue on the Tokyo University campus.
"Is it smelling really that bad?" Well, let's put it this way: When I was younger, my family had a little white dog. When she got skunked, she smelled so bad that my dad decided to try a "home remedy" he'd been told about, which was to wash her in tomato soup. So then we had a dog that smelled of skunk and tomato soup. 🙈 And the soup turned her hair a pink/orange color!
I cried my eyes out it’s amazing how much he kept going back no matter what
When the two girls hugging their dogs after watching the movie, it looks like the two dogs saying each other , "Hey pal, what the hell happend to them and why they started to hug us suddenly???" .
"Old Yeller" is a must watch, if you haven't already."
This movie reminds me of my last dog which I had for over 10 years. Got her when she was 4 months. Her original owner came for visit years after not seeing her, and recognized her immediately. The doggie became so happy, wagging her tail while being hugged by her original momma
Dogs are incredible. My dad had a dog named Duke, a black lab mutt at the time I was born. He loved my family so much and was very protective and like Hachiko, would listen for the sound of my dad's truck when he would return from work. My grandfather hated Duke and stole him when my dad was out. When my dad came home and Duke wasn't there to greet him, he started to call but Duke was gone. My grandfather told my dad he took Duke and drove him to a forest, maybe 15 miles away and left him. They got into a big argument in the driveway, but about 5 minutes into it, Duke came walking down the road and sat next to my dad. My dad said that the saddest day of his life was the day Duke died, not even the day his father died. That's all I need to know about the special bond between humans and dogs, which I've felt with every dog I've had the privilege to be buddies with since.
I am moved by the relationship that Michelle has with her dog. It's clearly not her pet but half of her heart. I hope they are together for many years.
Yeah I bawled my eyes out too since I knew about the story of Hachiko. When I went to Japan i got to see both statues. Main one at Shibuya Station and the other one at Tokyo University
I've saw this movie when it came out and it had me crying my eyes out. What a wonderful reaction, two beautiful ladies with their gorgeous dogs watching this beautiful heartbreaking film. I cried along with you even though I've seen it a few times ❤️ By the way, the movie Homeward Bound is a remake of the classic Incredible Journey. The animated film Plague Dogs (made by the Watership Down team) is another wonderful dog movie that will have you clutching your pets again x
i've never ugly cried to any movie until i stumbled upon this gem of a movie.. there i was just expecting nothing more than a happy movie of a dog and his owner LOL
The Hachiko statue is a well known landmark in Japan. It is located at Shibuya station in Tokyo. It is a popular meeting spot. Their are benches that surround the statue. People tell others they will be waiting at the Hachi statue so they can meet them there.
36:30 Haha I love that they hug or caress their dogs, this movie is really sad.
Even looking at this reaction, I did the same with my little puppy.
Lia and Victoria definitely need to see this movie too ❤️✌️😢😭
I bawled my eyes out at the end of this one too. Almost couldn't catch my breath
No other movie has got me like this one did
This is one of those movies that make you want to hug your dog.
La lealtad de perro no conoce límites su amor es una bendición solo aquellos q tiene estos hijos de 4 patas saben todo el amor q nos puede dar😍🐕🦺😭✌🇵🇪
i love the left side dogs reaction when she praise Hatchi "oh baby he is so loyal" 37:22
It is said that his late father often patted Hachiko on the head as he headed towards Shibuya Station. It seems that everyone around Shibuya Station loved Hachiko.
I love the friendship between Michelle and Ellie. Its so beautiful. Love the hand holding, tears, kisses and hugs. Wish I had such a friendship.
I had an American Akita who passed away from cancer. Watching this made me weep rivers. I miss my boy, his name was Papa.
This reaction to Hachiko's story was powerful. I feel your hearts pouring through and the pain you share with us connects us all as humans.
Now, we need a Viki, Lia and Laura Hachi reaction.
I'm Japanese.
The story of "Hachi" is a true event that took place in Japan and is known as the story of "Hachiko, the Loyal Dog." It is a well-known tale among Japanese people. The statue of Hachiko at Shibuya represents this story.
Totally heartbreaking and I'm sure you're both destroyed. So many tears that you're now dehydrated. Thank you for sharing your lovely reaction to this amazing movie. I know you will go hug your dogs for 3 days straight!
Michelle “I have something in my eye” Ellie “yeah it’s drop of pain”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is literally the saddest movie ever.
The only time I ever saw my father cry was when we watched this movie.
La única película a su nivel es .. el valor de una promesa
This is the movie to do it, for sure- for most of my life I never "happened to" cry to virtually anything, and it wasn't until somewhat recently when I was about 35 years old until ONE particular movie strongly triggered tears from me (THAT "first kryptonite" of mine happened to be Pixar's "Inside Out"). That was also when I noticed that feel-good brain endorphins can actually come along with tears (which did surprise me, when I noticed I was actually wanting MORE movies that triggered that effect in me!). So, despite my history of avoiding tearjerkers and/or just not getting affected by them anyway... I started enthusiastically seeking them out! It took a few YEARS for me to find another that "worked on me" (next one was "Interstellar"). Then I did eventually find a good handful.
But THIS one... oh my God. I didn't even see the whole movie (I don't have easy access to it, so my first view was just a reaction; one with good complete movie segments but still "just" a reaction video)... and it STILL made me cry at least three times during my first watch of that reaction video.

Knowing very well it's not healthy to "repress" like that... I voluntarily let myself feel and process it... and yeah, that resulted in one of THE hardest cries of my life.
The two dogs at the end looking at each other confused “why they caressing and hugging us so much?” 😂
Literally reminding me of both my dogs, yes, they are still alive. But this film made me bawl like a hungry baby. Like I couldn’t stop crying. My parents came in and watch me cry and they asked me, “Are you crying?” and I replied, “No, it’s just sweaty eyes.” 😂😂
Beautiful movie. I watched for the first time years ago and I couldn't stop crying.
Four months ago my dog died and I still miss her. I will remmember her forever.
Thanks for this reaction video.
Greatest dog movie I ever watched ! Now That's what I call loyalty! You ladies gone broken in this movie so many tears but don't worry I tear up every time I see the scene of Master reunited with dog and greatest movie I ever watched
Such a heartfelt reaction to a beautiful movie. Sad movie, but beautiful. I’ll admit I choked up during the flashbacks the first time I saw it. Hachi remembering his owner at the end was so sad.
The most heartbreaking wrenching soul tormentor scene is Hatchi dreaming in end ...my god ...My lord
Soon as we saw what movie was being reacted too…we just knew that it would shatter your hearts 🥺💔. Hope your pups 🐶 🐶 watched over you both until the pain subsided 🙏.
One of my dad's childhood dogs was a Dalmatian my grandpa took with him whenever he was hunting. After he died, my uncles and aunts had to drive to the cemetery every day to pick her up at my grandpa's grave.
The dogs are like: "what the heck is happening ?! They are crying and hugging us?!" Hahaha
WOW!, I never heard of this movie but tears are filling my eyes for the last 15 minutes, a great movie. I love having your dogs on the set when you all are watching movies. great review/reaction.
I don’t really cry, but this movie had me bawling my eyes out

You two are the sweetest women in the whole wide world. Everytime you cry, you take a piece away from me, and I can't help but cry along with you. I really hope one day I will find a woman like you two, a woman I can connect with and cry with. I grew up with two sisters, I never had a brother, so my entire young life I spent watching chick flicks with them. Some mornings, I'd wake up, walk into the living room, and find the most beautiful woman in the world, my mother, watching While You Were Sleeping with tears running down her face. It was my mother who showed me what empathy is. Other times I'd watch Ella Enchanted or The Princess Diaries with my sisters and we'd hang out and do stuff together. But the last decade or so, I've been a little distant with my sister's and my mother and I miss them so much. I live with my father, and I don't see them nearly as much as I used to. Watching you two express your emotions, it gives me the feeling I used to feel when I'd hang out with my sisters. It is the most beautiful feeling in this whole world to be able to cry with a woman. I don't know how men without sisters and mothers go on without experiencing a good long cry once in a while. I love you two for the women you are, and I love sharing with you the days I am emotionally alone. You have no idea how thankful I am for this channel, sometimes people in this world just need someone to cry with, and the worst thing in this world is when you need to cry and you have nobody to be around ❤️❤️
I'm a woman, but I have a not-so-stereotypical history (with an interesting twist later on!) when it comes to tearjerkers: For most of my life I never "happened to" cry to virtually anything, and it wasn't until somewhat recently when I was about 35 years old until ONE particular movie strongly triggered tears from me (THAT "first kryptonite" of mine happened to be Pixar's "Inside Out"). That was also when I noticed that feel-good brain endorphins can actually come along with tears (which did surprise me, when I noticed I was actually wanting MORE movies that triggered that effect in me!).

Knowing very well it's not healthy to "repress" like that... I voluntarily let myself feel and process it... and yeah, that resulted in one of THE hardest cries of my life.
But... believe it or not, I still have yet to cry to a movie WITH someone (in the past especially, I had just thought of such a possibility as extremely awkward for some reason, despite not having been socialized against crying or anything like that). I do think I might like to, though!
In Spain, the Japanese Akita dog waited at the hospital during his Spanish owner's surgery and discharge.
Awe so cute! I just lost my doggie to cancer. I took him in from a co-worker who found him. That dog saved my life and taught me love and care again. My friend had a Akita great dog. Definitely loyal and will protect his family.
Even i watch this 100x i still bawling like a baby. 😭
This all happened in a small town in Japan. The people of the town erected a statue of the dog to commemorate the dog's loyalty. How long did Hachikō the dog wait for his owner?
He did this every day for nearly a decade. Hachikō the dog was more than a pet. As the canine companion to a university professor, Hachikō patiently waited his owner’s return from work at their local train station each evening. But when the professor died suddenly one day at work, Hachikō was left waiting at the station - for nearly a decade.
Hachiko's statue in Tokyo is a popular meeting spot for lovers, since it's a symbol of loyalty.
I watched the entire video waiting for the end credits and for Ellie to realize it’s based on a true story and see her reaction, 42:40 did not disappoint and it’s similar to the way I reacted in highschool when we watched this movie in class.
If you dont have a reaction, youre a psychopath
I'd seen this movie before my GF did with the same reaction. One night in bed,she said "Pick a good movie for me" so I put this on and feel asleep.Next day she said "You F;n asshole,that movie had me bawling my eyes while you were just there just laying there sleeping,I hate you."
She meant it in a kind way.
I grew up in Woonsocket, RI where parts of this movie were filmed. THE WOONSOCKET CALL is a real newspaper. My house was a few streets away from the train station, as is the Church I gree up in and bring my mom to every week. My grandparents on my dad's side lived in an apartment building on the other side of the bridge just outside the station.
my wife liked this movie so much we named one of our dogs hatchi, my wife reacted just like the two of you, very sincere and heartfelt reaction, bravo
I mean hatchi mean diferent than hachi its mean 8
This movie/story is so heartbreaking. It starts as the best feelgood reel ever and then suddenly turns into crying your eyes out.
Great reaction! I can't watch this movie without crying and going to hug my dog, it's so heartbreaking 💔💔😭
Poor Ellie got completely emotionally destroyed 😅
This movie always makes me cry, even listening to the (beautiful) soundtrack can make me tear up
Ooooooooooooooh shit. I was NOT ready for this today lol. This is a GEM of a movie but also one of the saddest ever made. It's right there with Marley and Me and Ol' Yeller....the only other movie I cried so hard than those is My Sister's Keeper (react to that!)
"Oh look, they have a reaction to Hachiko, that's such a beautiful movie, it's sad but I know what happens, so it won't be that heartbreaking this time"...40 minutes later, my husband arrives and freaks out seeing me crying with heart wrenching sobs while watching only a REACTION of the movie! Oh boy, I was not prepared for that... P.D. Once he noticed I was watching something, he hug me and was like "Amor, please stop watching sad videos of cute dogs, that always make you cry" lol And I ended up laughing through the tears ❤️
If you come to Shibuya Crossing in Japan, there is a statue of Hachiko, the faithful dog.
In front of the Hachiko statue in Shibuya, this is still one of the meeting places for people living in Tokyo.
Oh man, I was thinking what a reaction would be like to this movie not too long ago. This one’s a real tearjerker. Saw it when I was a teenager, and didn’t stop hugging my dog for weeks after. And to make matters worse, it’s a true story.
Never seen this movie, but I've heard of Hachiko, of couse. That legend is forever in our memories.
Dogs can really be the kindest, most gentle friends one can Hope for. This movie Is amazing, so was Hachi. Anyway i Don't think I'd stay sane watching a whole movie with my friend talking and producing ultrasound non stop next to me🤣🤣
As the phrase says: the dog is man's best friend and here they handle it very well, but it is lickable until the end that I do not stop crying🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
I'd say humars are lickable for dogs...the other way around is kinda weird
sorry
If I remember correctly, there is such a rule in Japan. If you have agreed to meet at the Shibuya station at the Hachiko Monument, then you can not be late under any circumstances.
This is the only movie I cry because it's a true story.
This movie was and is today the only movie I can’t help but cry my eyes out every time
Yes there is a statue at the train station and another statue of Haichi and the professor at the school!!!! It’s a must visit for anyone who visits Tokyo!!! I will go to see both statues when I finally get to visit Tokyo hopefully one day soon!!!! 🙏🏻❤️
Ojalá algún dia se pueda ir a visitar la tumba de Hachiko 🐕❤️😍😭😭
Para dar honor.
Algún día.
You should. Its worth the trip just for that.
@@thissailorja si vale por que vas a ver la estatua de un perro reconocido mundialmente por su lealtad
@@cynthiarivadeo3201 its like Middle Of Everything Tokyo & that statue is a great meeting place. Tons of stuff to see with that at the center. Plus its a true story of a dog.
I remember seeing this movie when it came out, it was really emotional, I'm so glad you got the chance to watch it 😊
After the University scene I broke down and I saw the rest of the film filled with water in my eyes 🥺🥺🥺
This is without a doubt, the most heart touching movie ever made
