00:00The reason why I live in Japan.
00:08Today's guest has arrived.
00:12You never know till you try.
00:16You never know till you try.
00:19In Japan, things are a test.
00:2427 years living in Japan.
00:30Far East Japan.
00:33Why do we live in Japan?
00:37Because we are foreigners, we can see the beauty of Japan.
00:45We will find out.
00:59Foreigners living in Japan.
01:07A foreigner walking on the street.
01:11I am an elderly person.
01:17My friends of the same age are far away from me.
01:23We don't know how to solve our problems.
01:29Sometimes I feel lonely.
01:34I wish I had more friends.
01:40She is 54 years old.
01:48Her hometown is 7,900 km away from Japan.
01:54Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
01:58She was born to a father and a mother.
02:02It's like a TV drama.
02:05She wanted to be a doctor like her father.
02:10She lives in Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
02:15I'm from Mito City.
02:18I've never been to Mito City, but I've heard of it.
02:22You're from Mito City?
02:25Really?
02:27I'm not interested.
02:30She's been living in Ibaraki Prefecture for 27 years.
02:35What do you think of Ibaraki?
02:37I've never lived in other prefectures, so I can't compare.
02:43I like Ibaraki.
02:46It's close to the sea and there are mountains.
02:51It's perfect.
02:53Ibaraki Prefecture is always in the bottom of the list.
02:59It's always in the bottom of the list.
03:02It's close to the sea.
03:04Yes.
03:05Seafood is delicious.
03:07I don't eat it.
03:10I have to save money when I have children.
03:14I'm almost 13 years old.
03:17I see.
03:18I have a lot of money.
03:20She was born at the age of 41 and is now in the first year of junior high school.
03:25She lives with her family.
03:28The charm of Japan that Linzy saw.
03:31It's a residential area.
03:33Yes, but there is also a recycling shop.
03:38I like small things.
03:41I like baskets and straws.
03:46I like this kind of thing.
03:48It's 33 yen.
03:51It's cheap.
03:52But it's expensive to buy it.
03:55You don't need to buy it.
03:58I don't need to buy it.
04:00I think I'll buy something like this in Canada soon.
04:06It's like this.
04:08I don't think there is such a big pharmacy in Canada.
04:11Recycling shops are fun.
04:15It's 1,340 yen.
04:17I can make a lot of barley tea.
04:20By the way, is there a recycling shop like that in Canada?
04:25Yes, there is.
04:28But the quality of Japanese recycling shops is good.
04:34They only sell things that can be reused.
04:40In Canada, depending on the place and the shop,
04:44there are suspicious things.
04:50Linzy's job is a teacher of English conversation.
04:54I like Zimbabwe.
04:57I don't like it.
04:59I don't like it.
05:00I like the holy hawk.
05:03I teach English twice a week at the school.
05:09What do you think?
05:11If the children have something to do, I have something to do.
05:16Linzy came here with a strong desire to teach Japanese English.
05:23What is a color fan?
05:28Is it a color fan?
05:32Yes.
05:33Okay.
05:38How much is it?
05:4085 yen.
05:4285 yen.
05:4485 yen.
05:48I'll take it.
05:49No thank you.
05:52I'll take it.
05:53No thank you.
05:54Okay.
05:55Why?
05:56I used to use textbooks.
06:00But the children can't read English in textbooks.
06:03They don't understand the meaning.
06:05So I try to speak English as much as possible.
06:11Linzy's class doesn't use textbooks.
06:14Anyway, communication is important.
06:18She has lived in Japan for 27 years.
06:20What do you think now?
06:22When I go back to Canada, I always use a tree.
06:27I don't have a concept of using a tree in Canada.
06:32So it's hard to go back to Canada recently.
06:39My face is Canadian, but my heart is Japanese.
06:44The reason why I live in Japan is...
06:55Nice to meet you. I'm Katsunori Takahashi.
06:57I'm Miki Handa.
06:58I'm Linzy. Nice to meet you.
07:01Nice to meet you, Linzy.
07:03Linzy, you have lived in Ibaraki since you came to Japan.
07:07Yes, I have.
07:09When you went to Canada, you were very careful.
07:15What do you mean?
07:17For example, when I went to a Japanese store,
07:20the staff helped me a lot.
07:24They asked me what size I wanted and what I was looking for.
07:28When I went to a Canadian store,
07:30I felt like I was going on an adventure alone.
07:34They told me to look for the size I wanted.
07:37So when I went to a Canadian store,
07:40I was a little nervous compared to the service in Japan.
07:43So you got used to fitting in with Japan.
07:45You were careful to fit in with Canada.
07:47Yes, I was.
07:49By the way, the reason why you often came to Japan is...
07:52to choose a teacher who can speak English.
07:55Yes, that's right.
07:56There have been many people like that.
07:58If you go to Japan, you can choose a teacher who can speak English.
08:02It's easy.
08:03So you decided to do that.
08:05Linzy, how about you?
08:06I really want to come to Japan to teach English for everyone's future.
08:15So you decided to choose a teacher who can speak English
08:18with a different motivation from the previous guests.
08:22Yes.
08:23How did you do in the beginning?
08:26It didn't work.
08:27It didn't work?
08:28When I came to Japan,
08:30I thought it would be easy for everyone to communicate in English.
08:35But when I actually entered the classroom,
08:38I couldn't speak English as well as I thought.
08:45What does that mean?
08:47Me too.
08:48It's true.
08:49It's impossible.
08:51What is it?
08:52Well...
08:53What should I do?
08:55Help me.
08:57In Japan, English is not taught for communication.
09:03It's for the exam.
09:05It's for the entrance exam.
09:09The grammar is the main thing.
09:11So there is no chance to use it.
09:13That's true.
09:14So if you teach it for communication,
09:18I think it will be very different.
09:20Especially in junior high school.
09:21When I was in the first year of junior high school,
09:24I looked at the textbook and thought,
09:26what is this?
09:28It's all about grammar.
09:30English grammar.
09:31What does it mean to teach English grammar
09:33when you don't understand Japanese grammar?
09:36Because you don't speak Japanese according to the grammar.
09:39And ordinary English speakers don't understand grammar.
09:42Because they speak naturally,
09:44they don't think about grammar at all.
09:46So the grammar is difficult and they can't do it.
09:49And when they can't do it, they hate English.
09:52I see.
09:53So I want to teach English to Japanese people
09:56so that they don't hate English.
10:01That's why I haven't finished my job yet.
10:05Right now?
10:06Yes.
10:07I haven't finished it at all.
10:08Let's take a look at why Linzy has been living in Ibaraki
10:11since she came to Japan.
10:16Linzy was born in Alberta, Canada in 1970.
10:22After that, she moved to British Columbia
10:25because of her father's job.
10:27This is a picture of Linzy when she was a child.
10:30So cute!
10:34What was Linzy like when she was a child?
10:37She was quite mischievous.
10:38She was mischievous?
10:39Yes.
10:40There was a natural park behind our house,
10:43so she made a secret base with her friends.
10:47I wonder why she made a secret base when she was a child.
10:50This is Linzy's favorite scenery in British Columbia.
10:56Wow!
10:57It's beautiful!
10:58We took afternoon tea in Victoria's Inner Harbour.
11:01Wow!
11:02It was great.
11:04British Columbia, right?
11:06Yes.
11:07It was influenced by the UK, right?
11:08Yes, it was influenced by the UK.
11:10The Royal Family used this hotel,
11:13so there were many people from the UK.
11:17I see.
11:18By the way, this is a picture of Linzy
11:21enjoying afternoon tea with her grandmothers.
11:25Wow!
11:26There are many women.
11:27Yes.
11:28There is a mother in the distance.
11:30Yes.
11:31Men don't enjoy afternoon tea.
11:34Really?
11:35Yes.
11:36I see.
11:37It's time for fathers to work.
11:39That's right.
11:40I see.
11:41I see.
11:42Of course.
11:43I see.
11:44They enjoy afternoon tea with their own money.
11:46I see.
11:47I see.
11:48This is the first Japanese thing Linzy touched.
11:54It's from a cool place.
11:55I see.
12:00This is the first Japanese thing Linzy touched.
12:06It's her favorite flavor.
12:07Yes.
12:08It's from a cool place.
12:09I see.
12:10Why is it your favorite flavor?
12:12When I was in the second grade,
12:14my friend's father went to Japan for a business trip.
12:18As a souvenir, my friend brought it to school.
12:22I opened it and gave it to everyone one by one.
12:25I see.
12:26It was the first Japanese food I ate.
12:30Which one did you eat?
12:32The one with red seaweed.
12:35You got it right.
12:36Yes.
12:37How was it?
12:38It was bad.
12:39It was bad?
12:40Why?
12:41I thought it would be sweet.
12:43But when I put it in my mouth, it was really salty.
12:47It was salty.
12:48Yes.
12:49I thought it would be sweet.
12:52I see.
12:53Did you eat it when you came to Japan?
12:55No, I didn't.
12:56It's a trauma.
12:57It's a trauma.
12:58It's a trauma.
12:59Since we are here,
13:01we prepared your favorite flavor of Bourbon.
13:05Which one do you want to eat first?
13:06Let's start with this one.
13:07Let's try it again.
13:08Let's try it again.
13:09Let's eat.
13:10Let's eat.
13:12Did you get it?
13:13Yes.
13:14You got it.
13:15Yes.
13:16I am glad.
13:17I am glad.
13:18I am glad.
13:19I can't stop eating.
13:22Ms. Handa?
13:23Yes.
13:24Ms. Handa?
13:25Which one should I pick?
13:27Ms. Handa?
13:28Yes.
13:29I am sorry.
13:30It's a fun tea time.
13:31Shall we continue?
13:32I am sorry.
13:33Let's eat again.
13:34Let's eat again.
13:35Ms. Linzy, who became a junior high school student,
13:38Mr. Linzy, who became a junior high school student,
13:40the family environment changed drastically here.
13:44Yes.
13:45It became like this.
13:46Mother is a college student, father is a college student,
13:48Linzy is a junior high school student,
13:49younger sister is a junior high school student,
13:50younger brother is a junior high school student,
13:51the whole family is a student.
13:52Yes.
13:53My father wanted to go back to the university
13:56after he was over 40 years old.
13:59I wanted to improve my skills
14:03to become a dentist in the company,
14:05so I had to go to college to get a license.
14:09What did your mother do?
14:11She got a lawyer's license.
14:14All of a sudden?
14:15All of a sudden.
14:16She was probably free while we were at school.
14:21Well, it's good to go shopping while lying down.
14:24It's also a graceful way of spending time.
14:26Well, it's good to study law.
14:28How was your life during that time?
14:30It was good.
14:32It was good.
14:34It was good.
14:36When she was a student,
14:38Linzy was into saxophone at the Aquatic Department.
14:42After graduating from high school,
14:44she joined the military for some reason.
14:47Why?
14:48At first, the teacher of the Aquatic Department
14:52was the leader of the military,
14:57so I was invited to try it.
15:00You were scouted.
15:01Does the Aquatic Department of the military
15:03do the same kind of training?
15:05Yes, it does.
15:06There is a basic training that you have to do.
15:10So there was a target.
15:15Isn't it strong?
15:17No, I don't think it's that strong.
15:21But that part is really cool,
15:25so I was told that I wanted to move to the saxophone department.
15:30I see.
15:31This is the stage you moved to.
15:34I see.
15:35You were playing saxophone, right?
15:37Yes, I was.
15:38You got fired from saxophone?
15:40Yes.
15:41When I saw the training,
15:43I thought it was cool, so I wanted to try it.
15:46And at that time, women were not allowed.
15:50Women were not allowed?
15:52And at that time, women were allowed,
15:56so I thought it was a good chance.
15:58Because of the timing.
15:59Yes, because of the timing.
16:00So when I was asked to move,
16:02I moved.
16:03You moved.
16:04Yes.
16:05How was it?
16:06It was hard.
16:08It was hard.
16:09Because it was a male-dominated society.
16:10Yes, it was.
16:11Even in this day and age.
16:13After that, she quit her job.
16:15At the age of 23, she entered university to study linguistics.
16:20But for some reason,
16:22Linzy is interested in Japanese, which is not in the curriculum.
16:26When I was in university, I worked at a souvenir shop.
16:30And when Japanese customers came,
16:32they asked me,
16:33what's anzenpin?
16:34Anzenpin?
16:35What's anzenpin?
16:36What's anzenpin?
16:41When I was in university, I worked at a souvenir shop.
16:45And when Japanese customers came,
16:47they asked me,
16:48what's anzenpin?
16:51Do you have anzenpin?
16:53And I said,
16:54what's anzenpin?
16:55What's anzenpin?
16:57While I was communicating with Japanese people,
17:02I felt their hearts.
17:05Japanese people's hearts.
17:08Ah, it's a safety pin.
17:10And while I was drawing,
17:12while I was gesturing,
17:14I understood the importance of communication.
17:18And when I contacted Japanese people,
17:22I thought Japan was a good place.
17:25How did you feel?
17:26Did you feel different from other countries?
17:29In other countries,
17:31they would say,
17:32this is my language, so please understand.
17:35Even if I didn't understand English,
17:37I would somehow communicate with them.
17:41So I felt their kindness.
17:43And when I finally understood the safety pin,
17:47I guided them.
17:48And I thought it was amazing that I was able to communicate with them.
17:55So I wanted to go to Japan.
17:57You understood them.
17:59Yes, I did.
18:00At that time.
18:01Yes, I did.
18:02I see.
18:03That was the first time I met a Japanese person.
18:06So you had a good impression.
18:07Yes.
18:08Your first contact.
18:09I see.
18:10So you were interested in Japanese and wanted to learn it.
18:13Yes, that's right.
18:14So next time, you will learn Japanese in detail, right?
18:17That's right.
18:18How was it?
18:19Was it difficult?
18:20It was fun.
18:21It was fun?
18:22Yes.
18:23Do you remember what kind of teaching material you used?
18:24Totoro.
18:25Totoro?
18:26Yes.
18:27For example, Mei-chan would get lost,
18:29or a man wearing a fundoshi would hit her with a stick,
18:33or Mei-chan would...
18:34There was such a scene?
18:35There wasn't such a scene.
18:37There wasn't such a scene, right?
18:39What did he hit her with?
18:40What did he hit her with?
18:41Maybe he was trying to find her skin.
18:43Yes, that's right.
18:44He didn't hit her.
18:45I'm sorry.
18:46A man wearing a fundoshi would hit her with a stick?
18:48Yes, a man wearing a fundoshi,
18:50or Kanta-kun's school uniform.
18:53I thought it was really cool.
18:55Really?
18:56Yes.
18:57It's something you can't find in Canada.
18:59That's right.
19:00A fundoshi.
19:01People often say that learning Japanese is very difficult.
19:06It was easy.
19:07Easy?
19:08Yes.
19:09I got 100 points for most of the tests.
19:10Wow, that's amazing.
19:12With confidence in her Japanese,
19:14Rinji decided to go to Japan and teach English.
19:18What was your job plan?
19:21At first, I was going to apply for the JET program,
19:26but I was over the age limit.
19:28At that time, I could go anywhere,
19:31so I sent my resume to a lot of companies,
19:35but there was only one answer.
19:39And that was Ibaraki.
19:41That was your hometown?
19:43Yes.
19:44So I didn't choose Ibaraki,
19:46but I read about Ibaraki and Mito.
19:50Like, come on, come on.
19:52So there was a connection.
19:53Yes, I think there was a connection.
19:55I see.
19:56In 1997, Rinji graduated from university
20:00and came to Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture,
20:04to teach English to people who didn't know English.
20:07She came.
20:08Yes.
20:09It was only a month before I came to Japan.
20:13So I sold all my luggage,
20:15bought a ticket,
20:17and went, went, went.
20:19But it was my first long-distance trip,
20:22so I cried on the plane for a long time.
20:26You came alone?
20:27Yes, I came alone.
20:28I was crying.
20:31Rinji was worried about her new life in Japan.
20:35At first, she was worried about her food.
20:38Here is the food that supported her.
20:41What kind of choice is this?
20:46It's very moist.
20:48Thank you for it.
20:51This is my daughter.
20:54She's cute.
20:55She's strong.
20:57She sings in Kyoku.
21:00Rinji was worried about her new life in Japan.
21:04At first, she was worried about her food.
21:07Here is the food that supported her.
21:11What kind of choice is this?
21:13I knew it from the label.
21:15In Canada, there are Sapporo Ichiban, Fanta, and Corn Frosty,
21:21so I know what's inside.
21:25Is Sapporo Ichiban soy sauce flavor?
21:27Yes.
21:28Sapporo Ichiban is popular in Canada.
21:31Soy sauce is a regular flavor.
21:34It's a regular flavor.
21:36In 1997, when Rinji first came to Japan,
21:40Amuro Namie's Can You Celebrate was the most popular.
21:45Rinji, do you listen to J-pop?
21:48Yes, I do.
21:49Really?
21:50I like handsome guys, so I listen to SNAP.
21:55Really?
21:56Do you like Kim Taku?
21:57Not Kim Taku, but Tsuyoshi.
22:00Really?
22:01Yes, Tsuyoshi.
22:02I see.
22:04Rinji, you've been in Ibaraki for 27 years.
22:08Yes.
22:09You've been an English teacher for a long time.
22:11Yes, I have.
22:13You're an Ibaraki resident.
22:15Maybe.
22:17Yes, you are.
22:18Rinji has been teaching English to people in Ibaraki who can't speak English for 27 years.
22:24We asked her to introduce her favorite food.
22:31I feel love
22:35All around
22:39I can feel it
22:43Shining down
22:48Hello.
22:49Good morning.
22:50Nice to meet you.
22:51Nice to meet you, too.
22:53I'm Rinji, and I'm from Ibaraki.
22:55Welcome to Akatsuki Station in Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
23:00This way, please.
23:04Did you live here for a long time?
23:06When I first came to Japan, I lived in the south of Mito Station.
23:12I lived in Hitachi City for about 16 years, and I came back to Mito 7 years ago.
23:22There's an Indian restaurant over there.
23:26The strange thing is that I'm a foreigner, but I can't speak English.
23:31I can speak English, but I don't know how to speak it.
23:38Maybe I don't understand English, so it's a little unnatural for me to speak Japanese with other foreigners.
23:49It's a little unnatural for you to meet a foreigner in Japan and say hello in Japanese.
23:53That's right.
23:54Really?
23:55Even though I'm white, I may not know French, German, or English.
24:02You've been in Ibaraki for 27 years, and you've settled in Japan.
24:06That's right.
24:07The way you use your mind is a little more complicated.
24:10That's right.
24:11I see.
24:12When I was a kid, I didn't like the taste of Linzy, but I fell in love with something in Japan.
24:20Every year, every year, the summer gets hotter, and I think it's about time.
24:27There are no air conditioners in Canada.
24:30I didn't need it until now.
24:33You can sleep with a fan on.
24:37This is a rice cracker shop.
24:39Here?
24:40Actually, one of my students' family runs a rice cracker shop.
24:48Hello.
24:49I'm Ichika Nemoto, an English teacher.
24:53I see.
24:54This is a program called, Why do you live in Japan?
24:58It's a new program.
24:59The content is a little correct, though.
25:02This is Tomoe-do, which was established in 1936.
25:06It is a rice cracker shop that sticks to the traditional recipe and does all the seasoning by hand.
25:13I love rice crackers.
25:14You do?
25:15I love it.
25:16And it's my husband's birthday soon.
25:21I'm getting married in 2021.
25:25I don't have a lot of gift ideas, so I'm going to make rice crackers.
25:32It's just the right time for August.
25:35Double cheese and burdock.
25:40Burdock is the most popular.
25:43I love burdock.
25:44Here you go.
25:49This is also very interesting.
25:52It's a strawberry milk rice cracker.
25:54Strawberry milk rice cracker?
25:56I'm trying to get young people to eat rice crackers, so I'm making a variety of flavors.
26:02You're doing a lot of research.
26:04That's right.
26:05It's 1,920 yen.
26:07It's very reasonable.
26:09I'll give you 10,000 yen later.
26:11Do you want 20 yen?
26:12Yes, I do.
26:13Here you go.
26:14It's a new product.
26:16I saw it at the ETM yesterday.
26:20I thought it was a little weird.
26:23You haven't gotten used to it yet, have you?
26:25She's a rice cracker lover.
26:28In fact, she's been making sweets since she was a kid.
26:32I sell it occasionally.
26:35You're pretty serious.
26:36If I can.
26:38Actually, I'd like to open my own shop while teaching English.
26:49The shop that Minzy has been curious about for a long time.
26:54The shop over there tastes like Canada.
26:58Yes, it was delicious.
27:00I was surprised.
27:04The shop she was curious about.
27:06Hello.
27:07Nice to meet you.
27:08Nice to meet you, too.
27:09I'm Minzy.
27:11Nice to meet you, too.
27:13Scone Dolphin in the neighborhood is a popular shop chosen by many people in Mito City.
27:20Which one is more original?
27:22All of them are original.
27:25I'm going to make a moist and not dry scone.
27:28So I'm going to use fresh cream to raise the fat.
27:35But what Minzy is looking for is this banana bread.
27:41I found it.
27:42Banana bread.
27:43Yes, banana bread.
27:44In Canada?
27:45I learned it in Canada.
27:46Where?
27:47Banff.
27:48Banff?
27:49That's great.
27:51I'm from Victoria.
27:52Victoria?
27:53I went on a trip.
27:54I see.
27:55On the contrary, I often went to Banff.
27:58My friend told me how to eat banana bread.
28:02It was so delicious that I learned how to make it.
28:06I see.
28:07I'll have one banana bread.
28:09Okay.
28:10It's heavy.
28:14Let's eat.
28:17I was looking forward to eating banana bread.
28:22It's delicious, but it's very moist.
28:24Let's eat.
28:29It tastes like heaven.
28:33It's a nostalgic taste.
28:35Do you know comfort food?
28:37Comfort food?
28:38It's a food that calms you down when you eat it.
28:41For example, Japanese comfort food is rice.
28:48This is a foreign taste.
28:54It's delicious.
28:56It's really delicious.
29:00It's delicious.
29:02It's a food that calms you down when you eat it.
29:04It's a food that calms you down.
29:06My mother made it for me when I was young.
29:10Did you eat other banana bread after you came to Japan?
29:13Yes, I did.
29:15However, the banana bread in Canada is similar to a pound cake.
29:22There are many shops that are similar to a banana cake.
29:27I saw a banana bread like a pound cake for the first time.
29:34Was the banana bread in Canada delicious?
29:38Yes, it was delicious.
29:40I was surprised.
29:42This is Otsuka Ike.
29:45Otsuka Ike?
29:46Yes.
29:47When I look at the trees, I feel calm.
29:54When I study Japanese, I cry cicadas.
30:01I feel calm.
30:06I studied Japanese in Canada for a year.
30:10I thought it was a good country.
30:14At first, I introduced my country to Japan.
30:19I built a house in the Showa era and built a well with a pump.
30:26I thought Japan was an interesting country.
30:30However, when I came to Japan, I didn't feel like Totoro at all.
30:34However, it was a good atmosphere.
30:37Ms. Rinji married Mr. Masaaki, who she met in Mito.
30:44Where did you live after you married your husband?
30:49I moved to Hitachi.
30:51Hitachi?
30:52He is from Hitachi.
30:55I see.
30:56Ms. Rinji got married in 2010.
31:03You opened a English conversation class.
31:06At first, my husband helped me a lot.
31:11It was hard, but it was fun.
31:15He is a kind husband.
31:17He is kind.
31:18Don't you quarrel?
31:20We often quarreled at first.
31:23We often quarreled with the concept of shouganai.
31:29Shouganai?
31:30Yes.
31:31The concept of shouganai?
31:33In Canada, there is no concept of shouganai.
31:38I see.
31:39I wondered what shouganai meant.
31:41Why did you give up so soon?
31:44Why didn't you solve it?
31:47At first, shouganai was like an excuse.
31:52I see.
31:53As I got older, I realized that shouganai was a common word for Japanese people.
32:04Even now, I still use shouganai a lot as a Japanese person.
32:09Even you?
32:10Yes, even me.
32:11You accepted it.
32:12I accepted it.
32:13You don't have to explain everything.
32:16Yes.
32:17I thought it was a waste of energy to fight until the end.
32:23Did you become a little Japanese?
32:26Yes, I did.
32:27I see.
32:28The year after the opening of the English conversation class, there was something even happier.
32:33In 2011, when he was 41 years old, his only daughter, Angela, was born.
32:40Here is the photo.
32:42I'm not Kawaii.
32:48You speak English fluently, don't you?
32:50I understand what you're talking about, but I don't speak English fluently.
32:56What?
32:57You're an English teacher.
32:59Why?
33:00My father is Japanese, so he spent most of his time with me.
33:05Because you were focused on Japanese.
33:08To be honest, I didn't have much time to speak English.
33:11I see.
33:12It seems that Linzy had a hard time raising Angela.
33:17Let's take a look.
33:19I was an elderly person.
33:26Children of the same age are quite far away.
33:31For example, I didn't know how to solve the problem of raising a child.
33:38Sometimes I feel lonely.
33:43That's why I'm having a hard time.
33:45I wish I had more friends.
33:49It was harder than I imagined to raise and manage a child.
33:53In 2017, I closed the classroom and moved to the middle school again.
34:01Now I teach English to children in the nursery and in the classroom.
34:07However, because there is a place that is important to the family, I visit Hitachi from time to time.
34:13What is that place?
34:15That's nice.
34:20It's a photo studio for my family.
34:25A photo studio?
34:26Yes.
34:27I take pictures of my daughter's passport and family every year.
34:34That's nice.
34:35This is the place.
34:37It's called Helios Studio of Photography.
34:42I think it's not an ordinary photo studio.
34:50I like it because I take very interesting pictures.
34:56Hello.
34:58Hello.
34:59Hello.
35:00Hello.
35:01Is it early?
35:02It's cool.
35:03It's cool.
35:04It's cool.
35:05It's cool.
35:07It's a photo studio for three people.
35:09It's the first time I've taken a picture with three people.
35:11That's right.
35:15This is a free photo studio.
35:17That's right.
35:18If you go to an ordinary photo studio, everyone takes a stoic pose and wears a suit.
35:26In Helios Studio, you can take pictures that are easy to move and natural.
35:34That's cute.
35:35I really like it.
35:39Anji was the first one to come.
35:42It was a stoic pose.
35:44It was easy at that time.
35:46Yes, it was easy.
35:52Anji has grown up a lot.
35:54My husband and I are getting old.
35:57When I look at my husband when he was young, I feel like I'm getting old.
36:06It's been 12 years since Anji was born.
36:12I want to take a picture this year, too.
36:17So,
36:20This is my husband.
36:23That's cute.
36:24What's your name?
36:25My name is Angela.
36:27How old are you?
36:28I'm 12 years old.
36:32Is that your husband?
36:33Yes, he's my husband.
36:35Nice to meet you.
36:36Nice to meet you, too.
36:37I'm Masaki.
36:39Nice to meet you.
36:41Let's get going.
36:49See you.
36:53Oh, you're taking a picture by yourself.
36:55Hey.
36:59Wait a minute.
37:05You took a long picture.
37:15Before I knew it,
37:20Anji has grown up more than I thought.
37:25He looks like an adult, too.
37:27He's more introverted than I thought.
37:32He's calmed down, hasn't he?
37:44Anji's favorite scenery.
37:48This is my favorite scenery.
37:58It's a place where I can see my daughter's growth.
38:02It was hard when she was little,
38:05but when she's 12 or 13,
38:07it's sad that she's gone.
38:13It's not just a picture of my daughter.
38:15It's a picture of my family, too.
38:17It's important to me.
38:19It's a bond.
38:21I want to record this, too.
38:44Anji, who has grown up a lot,
38:47has a lot to say.
38:50I'm sure you'll be able to hear it.
38:53I'm sure you'll be able to hear it.
38:56I'm sure you'll be able to hear it.
38:59I'm sure you'll be able to hear it.
39:02I'm sure you'll be able to hear it.
39:05I'm sure you'll be able to hear it.
39:08I'm sure you'll be able to hear it.
39:11I try to stay alone,
39:14but I'm afraid I'll be alone if I grow up.
39:20I used to drink coffee
39:24when I was young.
39:28It doesn't go away very well.
39:31I'm afraid to be alone.
39:34But I'm not alone.
39:37I, too, am lonely.
39:40RINJI'S FAVORITE KANJI
39:49RINJI's favorite kanji was chosen.
39:54What is your favorite kanji, RINJI?
39:59It's Ai.
40:01I've been in Japan for 27 years,
40:04and I've met a lot of people.
40:06We have a strong bond.
40:09I love Japan!
40:15What do you think of Japan now compared to 27 years ago?
40:24When I came to Japan 27 years ago,
40:27there were no clothes for foreigners.
40:33When I walked on the street,
40:36I could see that the children were foreigners.
40:39But now in Ibaraki,
40:42you can buy clothes,
40:45and foreigners live here,
40:48so it's not that rare.
40:51It's easier to live here.
40:54I see.
40:56Do you feel like you're an Ibaraki Kenji?
40:58Let me ask you one last question.
41:01Why do you live in Japan, RINJI?
41:04In short,
41:06I love Japan,
41:09and I want to teach English again.
41:13You love your family,
41:16and your photo studio.
41:19I was moved by your favorite scenery.
41:25Thank you for today.
41:28It rained a little, though.
41:30It can't be helped.
41:32Next,
41:34we'll have a look at Japanese food
41:37with a smile on their faces.
41:39It's been a while since you had lunch with your best friend.
41:42The topic is about Mr. Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi.
41:46Why?
41:48Mr. Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi
41:52Mr. Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi
42:00What is it?
42:02I started shakodance.
42:04If you don't try something new,
42:07you'll get bored.
42:09So I decided to do something
42:12I've never done before.
42:16My goal for this year
42:18is to dance at a shakodance class.
42:23That's my goal.
42:25I have a question.
42:27Do you still do that?
42:30I do running,
42:33and I upload it on my Instagram story.
42:36When I see Mr. Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi
42:39singing the song,
42:42I can't stop thinking about it.
42:46It's interesting.
42:50You don't know Mr. Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi?
42:52No, I don't.
42:54He looks like a mafia to me.
42:58I'm sorry.
43:00We're going to do it in Sakurajima.
43:04Let's do it together.
43:06You're persistent.
43:09To be honest,
43:12I don't like macho men.
43:14I like handsome men.
43:17I like men who are slender.
43:20Mr. Nagabuchi looks like he's going to explode.
43:23His muscles are going to explode.
43:26He's a fan of Japanese anime.
43:29What does he do for a living?
43:31I'm a housewife.
43:33I use a broken tank top to clean the house.
43:36That's a lot of work.
43:38Steve does all the housework for me.
43:41Even babysitting?
43:42Yes, all of it.
43:46I want to go home.
43:48I'm worried if I get burned.
43:52Hang in there!
