00:00Now, let's choose a new life.
00:06Leave the useless things in the house,
00:09throw away the unnecessary things,
00:12and leave the attachment to things.
00:16Choose a new life and way of life with your own decisions.
00:21That is Danshari.
00:26Hideko Yamashita is the founder of Danshari.
00:33She is a master of Danshari and life,
00:36who has guided countless people.
00:40Danshari is a form of marriage,
00:42a form of marriage,
00:44and a form of belief.
00:46Taking care of things means using things.
00:51Choose a new life and way of life with your own decisions.
00:56The door to life is opening now.
01:01If I could, my house wouldn't be like this.
01:06Six years ago,
01:09she found out that she hid her things in the bathroom,
01:12and Yamashita-san scolded her.
01:15Now, she is back.
01:18Yes, that's right.
01:22She used to collect a lot of documents and receipts.
01:27She is also known as the lady of paper trash.
01:34She is the daughter of a family in Shinjuku, Tokyo,
01:37and she has lived with her parents.
01:43However, her house is full of things,
01:46so she has to move on from Danshari.
01:53I thought I could do it,
01:55but why can't I do it?
02:02She has been working hard for six years.
02:08Surprisingly,
02:11I am now a trainee at Danshari.
02:16Her life has turned upside down.
02:19How did she get out of her bad life?
02:28I am Hideko Yamashita.
02:30She moved to Danshari.
02:32It's been six years since she came to Shinjuku.
02:36Open up the life of an after-60s.
02:42The first time I visited her was when this program had just started.
02:51Hello. Nice to meet you.
02:55Noriko-san was 54 years old at the time.
02:58Her home was a mansion in Shinjuku, Tokyo, owned by her parents.
03:03She seemed like a young lady from the start.
03:07This is my father.
03:09Shunichi-san, who was 86 years old at the time, was a homeless man.
03:16My mother passed away, so I couldn't do anything.
03:22It was when her mother, Toshiko-san, came to the hospital,
03:25that her house was overflowing with things.
03:30I really leave all the housework to my mother.
03:33Cleaning, tidying up.
03:36She was raised by her parents since she was a child.
03:39She left home only half a year after studying abroad.
03:43Even after she became a member of society,
03:46she relied on her mother for housework.
03:52However, after her mother was hospitalized,
03:55she worked full-time.
03:58She had to take care of her poor father.
04:03She had to spend a lot of time doing housework,
04:06and she couldn't even clean up after herself.
04:12Thanks to this, the 3LDK mansion
04:15was overflowing with things, no matter where she went.
04:20Yamashita-san, who went to help Noriko-san.
04:26Yamashita-san, who went to help Noriko-san.
04:31Hello.
04:33This is Yamashita-san.
04:36Excuse me.
04:38This is what it looks like from the entrance.
04:41I'm sorry.
04:43It's embarrassing.
04:44No, not at all.
04:47Actually, the biggest problem in this house
04:51was Noriko-san's room.
04:54I can't rest here.
04:56I can't rest here.
04:59I can't sleep here.
05:01I'm hiding this.
05:02It's noisy.
05:04It's noisy.
05:05It's noisy.
05:06This is noisy.
05:10There are a lot of documents under the cloth.
05:13It wasn't strange at all.
05:19Okay, let's do it.
05:21Let's do it.
05:22I haven't said anything yet.
05:23Let's start from here.
05:24First, prepare a trash bag.
05:26Yes, a trash bag.
05:29Yamashita-san starts by putting in the cutlery.
05:37I'm going to tell you a secret today.
05:39A secret?
05:43I'm going to tell you a secret.
05:45What she was putting in was a bag and a box that she got from a shop.
05:49It's a good luck charm.
05:54In just a few hours, she was able to dispose of a lot of things.
06:00I don't think it's a problem that only one person can do.
06:05After making that decision, Yamashita-san came to check again the next day.
06:13However...
06:18She said she was going to clean up the mess in the middle of the day,
06:22but she didn't look at any of the documents.
06:27If you don't know what's going on, you'll be in trouble.
06:30She said she had taken a lot of receipts in order to put in the cutlery.
06:36But I didn't have the money to put in the cutlery, so I didn't put them in.
06:40I was going to put them in, but I couldn't.
06:43So that's what happened.
06:45Yes, that's right.
06:49Then...
06:50Inside the paper trash...
06:53No, no, no, this isn't it.
06:59It's a letter from a friend who passed away.
07:05It doesn't look neat at all.
07:10Not only did she not clean up her own room,
07:13but for the time being, the documents she put out in the hallway were in the way of her bad father.
07:24As she was cleaning up, Yamashita-san's check date came up in no time.
07:32And then...
07:33Something happened.
07:37Hello!
07:40Thank you for coming.
07:42When Yamashita-san asked her...
07:46Thanks to you, I made it this far.
07:48Huh?
07:50The inside of the room is clean.
07:53She did her best.
07:55She's great.
07:56It's starting to look like a family now.
08:01She said so, but...
08:04Actually, Noriko-san...
08:06She was hiding what was in her room in the bathroom.
08:13The program staff who noticed this...
08:17I think it's better to have Yamashita-san recognize the situation.
08:23If you hide it, I feel like it's going to end as it is.
08:31And then...
08:33Yamashita-san was shocked by the sight.
08:37Oh, I see. The bathrobe...
08:39But I brought it all the way here myself, so I can do it myself.
08:43That's what I'm saying.
08:45If you could do it, you wouldn't be like this.
08:49You brought it all the way here, right?
08:51That's why it's like this, right?
08:54Right?
08:57Noriko-san was holding on to her family and her father all by herself.
09:05But Yamashita-san told her that she didn't have to push herself so hard, and she woke up.
09:15I thought I could do it, but why can't I?
09:21I thought I couldn't do it on my own.
09:29Six years later, Noriko-san contacted her and asked her to come see the house.
09:40Hello. Welcome.
09:44She seems to be doing well.
09:51Oh, wow.
09:54The entrance is clean now.
09:57I did my best.
10:00She used to hide things that overflowed with cloth.
10:06Now she can get out comfortably.
10:14Did she tidy up the room?
10:18This is the room.
10:22Oh, wow.
10:28Her father used to be buried in his belongings.
10:34But now, there is no trace of him.
10:41This is what it means to see things differently.
10:49My father passed away two years ago.
10:53My mother also passed away three years ago.
10:56My mother and my father passed away within a year.
11:00I saw them off, and now I'm in this state.
11:04But thanks to seeing them off, I realized that I really didn't need this.
11:09I was able to give myself permission to dispose of all my mother's belongings because my mother wouldn't come back.
11:15If there was no possibility that she would come back,
11:19I realized that I didn't need to keep all of them.
11:23So I was able to dispose of a lot of things.
11:29The bedroom of her parents, who were buried in their belongings, is also completely clean.
11:38The things that couldn't be put inside are now easy-to-use objects.
11:50In fact, the reason she was able to do this was because she had a powerful helper.
11:58Thanks to my father, I realized that I couldn't do this alone.
12:03Thanks to my father, I realized that I couldn't do this alone.
12:09So I was able to do this while being accompanied by a men's trainer.
12:17Six years ago, when she realized that she couldn't do this alone, she consulted with Mr. Yamashita.
12:23He decided to teach her to a Harada trainer who lives in Tokyo.
12:30When I do the disposal of my belongings by myself,
12:35it takes a lot of time.
12:37But when Mr. Harada came to me, he did everything for me.
12:42I could automatically figure out what to do.
12:48For Noriko, who is not good at disposal,
12:53it is said that she was able to concentrate on the disposal of her belongings,
12:59and that the disposal of her belongings went smoothly.
13:09So, where is Noriko's room?
13:17Oh, it's a nice bedroom.
13:24I don't think it's the same place as the room she was buried in her hair.
13:33I'm proud that I can see all the floors.
13:38I was able to make a space that I can be proud of.
13:43Oh, what is this?
13:46I got this when I passed the men's disposal exam.
13:51Now I'm a men's disposal trainer.
13:57Like a Harada trainer who supported her,
14:01she is currently studying to become a Harada trainer.
14:07After the men's disposal exam,
14:11I started to think that I wanted to live my own life.
14:17I want to show people who are in trouble like me
14:23that it's okay.
14:27I want to show them who I am.
14:31I want to live my life as a men's disposal trainer.
14:37That's what I thought.
14:42She is now able to cook her favorite dishes
14:46while she is cooking them every day.
14:53Today's lunch is egg and natto rice and miso soup.
15:00She wants to help people who are surrounded by things
15:04like herself in the past.
15:09She wants to live her life as a men's disposal trainer
15:13from the age of 60.
15:23Yamashita-san, who became her mentor,
15:26visits her for the first time in 6 years.
15:32Nice to meet you.
15:35Hello.
15:37Hello. Welcome.
15:40I didn't expect to see you again.
15:43I'm so happy to see you again.
15:48Excuse me.
15:50This way, please.
15:52Your father used to live here, right?
15:55Yes, he did.
15:57I remember him sitting here.
16:01When did he pass away?
16:04Two years ago.
16:06He passed away three times.
16:10Noriko's room has changed, too.
16:13The bed was like this.
16:16I was sitting here and I was confused.
16:20I was looking at the double bed.
16:24I was like, what am I going to do?
16:27I have to look at the next room.
16:29It's nostalgic.
16:31This place is...
16:34It's nostalgic.
16:36I can't throw away the documents.
16:39I put them here and here.
16:42I thought I wouldn't be found.
16:44I just wanted to get a room.
16:48I thought I could do the rest myself.
16:51I just opened the entrance here.
16:54The mountain trail is here.
16:57I just said I was going to climb from here.
17:00It's been six years.
17:02You've been climbing for six years.
17:06But Ms. Yamashita doesn't praise her work as usual.
17:13You can praise me for what I've done so far.
17:20I'm trying to find a new path.
17:24I'm trying to find a new path.
17:27It's a plus.
17:29It's tough.
17:31I know it's still a long way to go.
17:35Ms. Noriko has been training for five months now.
17:42But even after training,
17:44if Ms. Yamashita doesn't admit that she's at a level where she can be taught,
17:50she won't be able to be independent as a trainer.
17:55For the past six years,
17:57you've been trying to be independent.
18:01But it's not about being independent.
18:06It's about how you live.
18:08You're going to live on your own from now on.
18:12You're going to live on your own from now on.
18:17How do you want to live?
18:22How do you want to live?
18:28I think you should think about that.
18:31You shouldn't think you're coming here.
18:34You should feel at ease.
18:36You should feel at ease.
18:38You should feel at ease.
18:40You should feel at ease.
18:42That's the basis.
18:45I'd like to have a tea party here when I can live on my own.
18:51The dirt has been removed and it's flowing out.
18:55But I haven't been swimming in it yet.
18:59I haven't been swimming in it yet.
19:03I'm using it to sigh that I'm clean.
19:13In other words,
19:15even if she loses her dignity as a man,
19:18it doesn't make her feel like a woman.
19:22But what does it mean to feel like a woman?
19:28Do you watch TV here?
19:29Yes, I do.
19:30Do you watch TV here?
19:31Yes, I do.
19:34I don't think I can enjoy watching TV here.
19:40What do you mean by enjoying?
19:44I don't know.
19:47Let's take a look around.
19:51Yamashita decided to show her example.
19:58She looked around the house.
20:02I like this dance.
20:06This is an old kiri dance that her mother used to use.
20:10It would be nice if it was broken.
20:13Instead of the tea dance,
20:15let's put this on the side.
20:17Let's put this on the side.
20:19Let's put this in the shelf.
20:22In the shelf?
20:25She decided to change the tea dance next to the dance.
20:34She decided to try it right away.
20:40Could you put it here?
20:48Should I put two or one?
20:51What do you think?
20:53It doesn't look like a room at all.
20:55It doesn't look like a room at all.
20:56It's a room. I see.
20:58It's a room. I see.
20:59This is good, right?
21:00This is good, right?
21:01But this is in the way.
21:03On top of that, she put her mother's kimono on the shelf
21:09to create a sense of unity on the side.
21:11I like that.
21:12I like that.
21:13That way, it doesn't get cut.
21:17It's reviving.
21:19It's good, right?
21:20It's nice.
21:25I've seen something like this happen at home.
21:29It's good, right?
21:33She changed the tea dance to a short kiri dance,
21:37and put a TV on top of it.
21:42It looks like she's having more fun watching TV.
21:47She's having fun.
21:57On top of the three-step kiri dance,
22:00she put a Tokonoma.
22:03It's good, right?
22:04It's good, right?
22:07The Japanese taste is getting stronger.
22:12It's good.
22:15Then Noriko seems to have come up with something.
22:20The one that was lying around
22:22is going to be our family's eto.
22:27It's a different eto.
22:31It came out of a box.
22:33It's a kimono of a mizen-yaki eto that her father collected as a hobby.
22:38It seems that all of her family members are here.
22:43She decided to decorate the place where the TV was.
22:53I feel like my mom is the best.
22:57I think it's good.
22:58I see. It's interesting.
23:01I didn't know it would come to life like this.
23:04If my father was alive, he would be very happy.
23:06I feel like my family is alive.
23:10It's fun.
23:12I didn't know it would come to life like this.
23:14I see.
23:22Everyone has their own story.
23:28In Noriko's case,
23:29she is surrounded by the memories of her parents who raised her well.
23:35It seems that it was a form of comfort.
23:42I feel a little...
23:44She gave her apprentice a big hint for the next step,
23:49and Ms. Yamashita went home.
23:52I was happy to see you.
23:55Thank you very much.
23:59In this way, the days of a bicycle aiming for further heights began.
24:04Ms. Noriko, do your best for the promotion of trainers!
24:10The End
24:12Thank you for watching!
24:14Please subscribe to our channel and give us a high rating!
24:17Our Twitter is also in the summary section.
24:20Please check the description for the details.
24:23See you next time!
24:31What should I do to become more like myself?
24:36Not clothes, but accessories and stationery.
24:39Ms. Noriko decided to revisit her room.
24:47It was a different world from the time when she was surrounded by paper garbage.
24:53The current room is a simple shape like Ms. Noriko's.
24:59But she says there is room for improvement.
25:04If I open this door, the view is much better.
25:08When I open the door, I feel a sense of freedom.
25:14However, the bed is in the way.
25:17Even if she opens the door, she can't get out of the hallway.
25:24This is inconvenient.
25:29I'll try it.
25:32She decided to change the position of the bed.
25:47She wants to push it up a little more.
25:52But there is a headboard on the bed.
25:55She can't push it any further.
25:58Then Ms. Noriko brought out the tools.
26:17It came off well, didn't it?
26:20This headboard is too short.
26:29It's useful.
26:32I can do anything thanks to the tools.
26:37Since she lost the headboard, she made a gap by pushing the bed.
26:48I can't go any further.
26:51I can't go any further.
26:55Now she can open the door and go to the next room.
27:03The next problem is where to put the table.
27:16It's not stable.
27:20It doesn't seem to be stable.
27:25It's not stable.
27:27Then...
27:31Wow.
27:32She brought a long chair.
27:37It's not stable.
27:41It's not stable.
27:45It's not stable.
27:49It's not stable.
27:52But she still can't accept it.
27:58Now she will change the position of the long chair.
28:02The staff members were surprised by the movement.
28:09It's very easy to move.
28:12It's thanks to the tools.
28:15I used to think it was troublesome.
28:20It was troublesome, but I managed to do it.
28:28Noriko, 6 years ago, was a young lady who never had a heavier thing than chopsticks.
28:37But now she is moving like a different person.
28:44It's so spacious.
28:46It's so spacious.
28:50That's not the only thing that has changed with the chopsticks.
28:56I used to worry a lot.
28:59I didn't know what to do.
29:03I had a lot of anxiety.
29:05I was worried about what to do.
29:11But now I can ask myself how many tons of food a truck can carry.
29:18I am very confident that I was able to make this much space.
29:26After graduating from university, Noriko worked at a tax office and a law firm.
29:35But...
29:36I was never able to leave my job because I was so confident.
29:46I was so confident that I could do anything.
29:51She was so confident that she could do anything.
29:55She felt like she had never achieved anything by herself.
30:05She was a free lady.
30:12But deep down, she was always worried about herself.
30:20She was always worried about herself.
30:25But after 6 years of working as a chopper, Noriko has become more confident.
30:33I used to work at a bench.
30:36I don't think I need a desk for sitting.
30:39I talked about this the other day.
30:41My body trainer told me that I should work on my back.
30:45I thought it would be a good idea to work on my back.
30:49She does what she wants to do right away.
30:53I think I can sit here.
30:58She used to be a pain in the neck.
31:01I feel like I can do anything.
31:05I feel like I can do anything.
31:08It might be a pain in the neck,
31:11but I have to figure out what to do in this room.
31:19I see.
31:23In the end, she decided to set up the table every time she started working.
31:33I guess you could say that's how she became more confident.
31:39The next day
31:47This is the kitchen.
31:49This is the kitchen.
31:55She used to have a lot of stuff in the kitchen.
32:01But now, it's all clean.
32:05It's been 30 years since the apartment was built.
32:10If you look closely, you can see the accumulated dirt.
32:19She's cleaning up while thinking about her identity.
32:28She's using a rag.
32:30I'm going to try the secret technique she taught me.
32:37She's wiping the detergent with a rag.
32:42She's letting the detergent soak into the dirt.
32:50She waits for 10 minutes.
32:56I wonder if the dirt has been removed.
33:0010 minutes later
33:05I think the dirt is gone.
33:10Compared to before she cleaned up,
33:14she has regained her white color.
33:20I'm exhausted.
33:26Her mother used this kitchen.
33:31She used to cook for her family every day until she fell ill.
33:40She used to clean up the dirt for many years.
33:46Oh, wow!
33:51Wow, it's clean.
33:53It's shiny now.
33:56The dirty shelves are now beautiful like new.
34:06She's going to put her parents' photos on the counter.
34:16On one side of the counter, there's a tissue box made by her mother.
34:26She's cleaning up.
34:31This is the best way to comfort Noriko.
34:47She's polishing the kitchen that her mother used.
34:52It's a baton touch.
34:55She's polishing the kitchen that her mother used.
35:00Wow, it's shining again.
35:07Her mother must be happy to see her doing her best.
35:19The heat has finally calmed down.
35:25It's time for Noriko to go home.
35:31It's the last day of her trainer training.
35:34She's going to announce it in front of everyone.
35:40But...
35:44Wow, she's really nervous.
35:48The last day of her trainer training.
35:59Oh, no! She's done it!
36:08It's the last day of her trainer training.
36:12Why does she want to be a trainer?
36:15She's going to announce the reason in front of everyone.
36:32Noriko has rewritten her manuscript many times.
36:36She's been revising what she's going to say.
36:42But she's really nervous.
36:46Will she be okay?
36:51I'm in the second half of my life.
36:55I've been studying hard.
36:58I'm going to become something.
37:01I feel nervous.
37:04Isn't that amazing?
37:07I feel like I'm going to start a new life.
37:13I think it's a great adventure.
37:20It's finally starting.
37:24Why did you decide to become a trainer?
37:27I'd like to hear your answer.
37:38Let's move on to the next person.
37:41It's Ms. Ono.
37:50Hello.
37:52I'm from Shinjuku, Tokyo.
37:55I'm Ms. Ono, a famous trainer.
37:58I'm sorry, Ms. Ono.
38:00I'm Suichi.
38:03Ms. Ono, please calm down.
38:11I'd like to tell you why I decided to become a trainer.
38:18I was surrounded by things
38:22that I might not have been in
38:26if I hadn't been able to be myself.
38:30I met my potential.
38:33Little by little,
38:35I was able to create a space in my life.
38:39Little by little,
38:41I became stronger.
38:44I became who I am now.
38:47I've come this far.
38:50I'd like to tell people who are suffering like me
38:54not to give up.
38:58I'd like to tell them,
39:00you're not alone.
39:02It's okay.
39:04You don't have to be alone.
39:06Please call for help.
39:09I'm standing here right now
39:11because I want to tell you.
39:19I'm so excited.
39:22I'm so relieved.
39:24I don't know if I was able to tell you
39:28what I wanted to tell you.
39:31But I'm going to do my best to tell you.
39:37Now,
39:39until the day she is recognized as a master,
39:43it's a day of hard work.
39:46Day of Hard Work
39:48Day of Hard Work
39:50Day of Hard Work
39:52Day of Hard Work
39:54Hi.
39:56Welcome.
40:00She said she had a new goal.
40:03So she visited.
40:05Last time,
40:07I broke a box halfway through.
40:10This time, it's like this.
40:14What her parents left behind
40:17was broken down even more.
40:21Everything was put away.
40:26I'm going to replace the wallpapers and the floor soon.
40:30Reform?
40:31Yes, I'm going to reform.
40:33I'm going to think of a new future
40:35where I can do this
40:37when it's all gone.
40:40Her new goal is not just to reform.
40:48I didn't realize until now
40:50that it was broken down.
40:52So I wanted to use it
40:54for my parents.
40:56That's the layout I came up with.
40:59Noriko learned how to make tea
41:02with her mother.
41:04She used the broken-down teapot
41:07and wanted to start over.
41:12As time went on,
41:14I wanted to value what my parents
41:16valued more.
41:18I started to think like that.
41:20I wonder what I was thinking
41:22when I was alive.
41:24I look back on what my mother
41:26valued more.
41:28I think that's what I'm doing now.
41:34I'm glad I met her.
41:36I'm glad she understood me.
41:39I'm glad I didn't give up.
41:42That's what I want to tell her.
41:45She loved me.
41:47She took good care of me.
41:49I'm sure she was grateful
41:51to her father and mother.
41:53But I don't think she was grateful
41:55to me.
41:57I think she didn't know
41:59how to appreciate me.
42:01I think she didn't know
42:03how to appreciate me.
42:06Even though she told me
42:08to do something with my own power,
42:11there were many people
42:13who supported me.
42:15At the same time,
42:17I was able to realize
42:19my power
42:23each time I did something.
42:26Until then,
42:28I thought I was useless.
42:31but I learned that
42:34It's a great motivation for me.
42:36I was surprised when I was challenged to the first round.
42:40I've done it so many times.
42:42But I didn't give up.
42:44And when I passed,
42:46I went straight to the trainer and challenged him.
42:50I think that's how I became a support for myself.
42:59Since I was in my 50s, I've been able to take it easy.
43:03I've been wearing a lot of heavy coats.
43:08So I know what to wear and take off when I need to.
43:13And I'm in my 60s.
43:15I'm having fun in my 60s.
43:18In my 50s, it's easy.
43:20In my 60s, it's fun.
43:22In my 70s, it's fun.
43:24When I got to the point, I opened up a lot of dots.
43:28When I got to the point, I opened up a lot of dots.
43:31Then I felt like I was integrated.
43:35I felt like I was integrated.
43:39Then I looked back at myself.
43:42Then I looked back at myself.
43:46I realized that this is who I am.
43:51What's important in the life of an after-60 is
43:55to be clear about what you want to do.
44:01Welcome.
44:03Hello.
44:05Nice to meet you.
44:07Nice to meet you.
44:09Today, we have an interaction session with a group of people
44:13who are working hard to become men's track and field trainers.
44:18Ms. Noriko is also wearing a kimono.
44:24She's looking at the shelves lined with teapots.
44:32It's a different style.
44:34I'm embarrassed.
44:36It's a different history.
44:39I'm excited to see what it'll look like when everyone comes.
44:43The sake looks good.
44:48In the peaceful Japanese-style room surrounded by her parents,
44:53she's serving tea.
45:05Her mother's teapot is still alive.
45:11When she was young, she couldn't do anything
45:15and was worried about her future.
45:19But from now on, she'll take good care of what her parents left behind
45:24and walk the path of men's track.
45:27That's the way of life that Ms. Noriko chose.
45:32That's the front.
45:40How many times do you drink?
45:43It's hot.
45:45I'm sorry.
45:48I'm very happy.
45:50Please come again.
45:54I can see the brilliance of After 60.
46:12After 60
