00:00Oh! It's on the screen!
00:03It's on the screen!
00:05I'm so excited!
00:10Kazumi Imai, who has repaired 30,000 household appliances since she was a child.
00:15She looks like she's having fun.
00:16She has a really nice smile.
00:17With her knowledge and skills that she learned by herself since she was a child,
00:22she was able to revive old electrical appliances that even manufacturers couldn't accept.
00:28Amazing!
00:29This is her last repair.
00:32Can you see it? Thank you so much.
00:35I've never seen so many appliances since I was a child.
00:39I'm so grateful to Imai-san.
00:44When customers are grateful, your motivation goes up.
00:49Imai-san's workplace is
00:53Taro Misugi-cho, Ie Prefecture, a town with a population of less than 700.
00:59What kind of memories will customers come to repair in such a remote area?
01:07Once again, she's attached to a cowardly household appliance repairman.
01:14The first repair item of the day is...
01:17It's huge.
01:19Let's open it.
01:22What's this?
01:23It's a clock.
01:26It's amazing.
01:27It's beautiful.
01:28I don't think I've ever repaired a clock.
01:32I don't have a clock.
01:34You can make a clock?
01:35Wow, there's a clock.
01:39I saw the clock.
01:42It must be scary.
01:46It was sent from a woman in Yukuhashi City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
01:50She bought it about 40 years ago.
01:53It's an antique clock.
01:57The clock was repaired by Imai-san, an expert.
02:01Why does she want to fix this clock?
02:05It's a cute clock.
02:07I asked the parents of Shimizu-san, who runs a family transportation company.
02:13Why did you buy it?
02:16I was very poor at that time.
02:19I only had about 30,000 yen in my living expenses.
02:22I couldn't buy a curtain or a TV.
02:26I couldn't even make a phone call.
02:29I couldn't buy anything for my children.
02:33So I decided to buy it.
02:35I only had 30,000 yen in my living expenses.
02:37At that time, I had 15,000 yen in my pocket.
02:41Why did you buy it?
02:44About 40 years ago.
02:46She just started a transportation company.
02:49She was in a difficult situation.
02:51She wanted to entertain her young children.
02:55So she bought it a year later.
02:58When I have time, I'll buy it.
03:01It was a natural sound.
03:04I could understand what time it was because it was a clock.
03:10Eight years ago, the clock itself was working.
03:14But neither the clock or the organ stopped working.
03:20There are two clock shops in the city.
03:23There are no more craftsmen, so please give up.
03:27I think I can fix only the clock.
03:31I was asked to try it once.
03:35I asked the clock shop to repair it.
03:38I managed to fix only the clock.
03:42Orgols and dancing dolls, which are supposed to be together,
03:46are said to be impossible to repair because there are no electricians.
03:53When I was about to give up,
03:55my daughter, Hitomi, happened to know Imai-san on the show.
04:00She asked me to repair it.
04:03Imai-san has been watching the clock for a long time.
04:07She wants the clock to work again.
04:11Can Imai-san repair the clock?
04:18I don't know much about clocks.
04:23Imai-san has a lot of unknown points.
04:29First, let's check the inside.
04:33Let's open the back side.
04:35There is a doll.
04:39There is an orgol.
04:42If the orgol doesn't work, the doll won't work either.
04:49But the pigeon came out.
04:52The pigeon is connected to the clock with this lever.
04:58See?
04:59Only this is connected to the clock.
05:01That's why only the pigeon came out.
05:04As a result of disassembly,
05:06it is clear that this clock is divided into two large structures.
05:13First, the clock is connected to the lever,
05:16which is a device for the pigeon to know the time.
05:20Then, the orgol and the doll are connected to the electric circuit to operate.
05:30Because the pigeon's device moves when repaired by the clock,
05:35the problem is that the orgol and the doll don't work.
05:42Imai-san is worried about this part.
05:48This is the biggest problem for Imai-san.
05:54Why? The clock doesn't work?
05:56There is a missing part.
05:58I wonder what it is.
06:00It's missing.
06:01I'm a little worried about this part.
06:03This is the biggest problem.
06:04I wonder what it is.
06:07This is a problem.
06:10What should we do?
06:12The wiring that extends from the orgol and the doll's device is cut off from some parts and is exposed.
06:21The previous watchmaker must have removed it.
06:25Where was this wiring connected to?
06:29This is difficult.
06:31To determine the cause of this problem, Imai-san is checking further.
06:36There is no part that puts a time signal on this board.
06:43For example, if it is an hour clock, a signal must go from the clock to this circuit.
06:51If there is a motor, it is a simple mechanism that the melody and this go round and round.
06:58I think the signal goes from this line.
07:06This clock is expected to move the orgol part when the time comes.
07:15This is difficult.
07:17Then this wiring should be connected to the clock.
07:22I understand.
07:25This clock unit is not the original one.
07:28I put a clock unit that fits this.
07:31It is replaced.
07:33There is no signal on the clock.
07:36The doll does not move because there is no signal.
07:41I understand the purpose.
07:43It's cool.
07:44I took it from a different watch and put it on.
07:48But this is not a clock room, so this unit is not available.
07:53Is it impossible to repair?
07:58It's impossible.
08:00For the first time.
08:02Previously, the repair that the watchmaker did was only to replace the device to move only the clock and the clock.
08:10It seems that the orgol and the doll could not be moved in that part.
08:16What should I do?
08:18I don't know what kind of part it is.
08:20Mr. Imai, who faced the problem before repair,
08:24Oh, Mr. Hitomi.
08:26I had a look at the watch.
08:32Actually, I found out a big problem.
08:36As soon as I repaired it and replaced it, something different was attached.
08:42Unfortunately, it is impossible to repair.
08:46It's the first time.
08:47I'm sorry.
08:51It's the first time in the history of the program.
08:55It's impossible to repair.
08:59Mr. Imai, are you okay with that?
09:01It's tough.
09:03It can't be helped.
09:04It's a pity.
09:06It can't be helped.
09:07What should I do?
09:10Yes.
09:12Mr. Imai is not that kind of person.
09:14Ms. Hitomi, the daughter who asked Mr. Imai to repair, also had such a thought.
09:21When I have a child, I want to share what was a natural sound with my child.
09:30Do you want to show it?
09:31I thought I could watch TV without hesitation and fix it.
09:37That's all.
09:39I want to share it.
09:40I want to show it.
09:43I want to share the clock that has been a memory of the family for a long time with the new family.
09:50I want to listen to music.
09:52Will Mr. Imai's parents' wish end like this?
09:58However, three days later, the situation suddenly developed.
10:04My acquaintance's electrician knows a clock shop.
10:09When I asked him, he said he had it.
10:13I was able to get a clock unit with an Orgol drive.
10:19That's great.
10:21That's a great network.
10:22This is the last one.
10:24If I fix this, I can't fix the next one.
10:27It's dramatic.
10:28Mr. Imai, who thought there was no way to fix it, went to his acquaintance's electrician.
10:37He got a clock unit with an Orgol drive.
10:43He contacted Mr. Imai.
10:48He installed the new clock unit.
10:55This is new.
10:59That's great.
11:06First, remove the clock unit.
11:16Replace it with a device that can send electric signals.
11:23It's a difficult task.
11:28It's moving.
11:31Can you replace it?
11:32That's right.
11:33That's great.
11:34The replacement of the clock unit was completed in no time.
11:40Next, he checked the final performance before the test.
11:45That's right.
11:46The movement is a little bad.
11:51Mr. Imai noticed that the movement of the doll was bad.
11:58Only in the middle.
12:00Let's remove it.
12:02Is it broken?
12:04This is amazing.
12:06This is dust.
12:10This is amazing.
12:12I'm glad.
12:13This is the cause.
12:15The dust accumulated 40 years ago has accumulated on the base.
12:20The movement of the doll seems to have become worse.
12:24It's spinning.
12:25It's because of the static electricity.
12:27I don't have electricity, so I'll wash it.
12:30I'll clean it.
12:33Mr. Imai cleans the dust.
12:38That's amazing.
12:40It's beautiful.
12:42It's very beautiful.
12:44It was like this.
12:46And then.
12:50It's moving a lot.
12:52It's dancing a lot.
12:54The doll, which had a bad movement, also started to move smoothly.
13:02He installed the doll again and finished the work.
13:09I'm getting excited.
13:14If you don't cry, I'll make you cry.
13:16Get out of my way.
13:18He called the doll.
13:22Did the doll start to move?
13:26It's time to check the movement of the doll.
13:30What will happen?
13:32I'm counting on you.
13:35It's cute.
13:37What about the doll?
13:41The doll opened the lid.
13:43There's a doll, too.
13:45That's amazing.
13:49Let's do it.
13:51The lid is closed at the end.
13:53All right.
13:55It's done.
13:57It took a lot of time to make it.
14:03At first, I called the doll because I didn't have any parts.
14:09But the doll was happy.
14:13I don't like the call when I refuse.
14:17Actually, I...
14:22It was funny.
14:25The precious watch that has been watching over the family.
14:33It's a nostalgic feeling.
14:35The repair fee this time is 28,000 yen.
14:39Let's go to the parents of Mr. Shimizu, who is waiting for the goods.
14:44It's Mr. Toshiki's father who will open it.
14:48And a colleague who has been with his mother, Tsuneko, for many years.
14:55And a colleague who has been with his mother, Tsuneko, for many years.
15:02Two sons of his daughter, Hitomi, also rushed in to see it together.
15:10His father, Toshiki, saw it from a distance.
15:15And...
15:26It's elegant.
15:38He is very excited to see the revived watch.
15:52I'm so happy.
15:56It's like a welcome home.
16:00This is our family's watch.
16:04I'll use it.
16:08When I don't have money.
16:11I thought I couldn't do it once.
16:13Even after I contacted him, I had a lot of memories.
16:17He contacted me in various places.
16:20I thought I had a lot of memories.
16:23I was impressed by his father's silence.
16:28I was impressed by his father's silence.
16:29I was impressed by his father's silence.
16:32I was impressed by his father's silence.
16:36What's the next repair?
16:44It's been running around there.
16:48It's a radio control car.
16:51It's been running off-road for a long time.
16:54I wonder if it's a memory.
16:57First, turn on the power and check the operation.
17:12I can go left and right.
17:14I can go left and right.
17:16I think there's a radio wave.
17:19It was sent from Nishitama, Tokyo.
17:22It's a 2020 RC car.
17:26When you turn on the power, the lights come on.
17:30When you operate it with a transmitter, the tires move left and right.
17:35It doesn't move back and forth.
17:39I can tell you've been playing a lot.
17:42Why do you want to fix this?
17:45Why do you want to fix this?
17:48I asked the client, 8-year-old Hisashi Akimoto.
17:53What did you ask the person who fixed it this time?
17:57A black radio control car.
18:00When did you have it?
18:02It was Christmas when I came to this house.
18:09I got it from Santa.
18:11How important is it?
18:13100.
18:18Christmas four years ago.
18:20Hisashi got a RC car from Santa.
18:26I'm glad.
18:28Since then, Hisashi has been driving it every day at home and outside.
18:36Hisashi's precious partner.
18:41When did it break?
18:44About a year ago.
18:46I put the radio control car in a big puddle.
18:51It was moving, but it didn't move.
18:57I'm glad I didn't have to do it.
19:01A year ago, Hisashi drove a RC car at his family's campground.
19:09Hisashi got stuck in a big puddle.
19:14Since then, Hisashi has been unable to move forward and backward.
19:20I played with it a lot.
19:23I was shocked that it broke.
19:29Hisashi was depressed.
19:31He looked for a place where his family could repair it, but he couldn't find it.
19:35Hisashi asked Imai to repair it.
19:42How do you want to play this time?
19:44I want to follow the rules and play properly.
19:50Imai, please.
19:52I'll do my best.
19:55Hisashi got a RC car from Santa and played a lot.
20:01Will Hisashi be able to revive his partner?
20:07The first thing Imai did was...
20:11I'm going to test the radio waves.
20:14I'm going to use a frequency counter.
20:18First, he checks the signal from the transmitter with a machine that can measure the frequency.
20:28He can't move forward and backward now.
20:32First, he checks the signal from the transmitter.
20:39The number is moving.
20:42If you move the stick forward, the number reacts.
20:46There is no problem with the signal.
20:50Next is the signal from the transmitter.
20:54The number is moving.
21:00There is no problem with the signal.
21:06The radio waves are coming out and the direction can be changed.
21:12It's probably a motor.
21:14The number of motors may have decreased.
21:20The number of motors may have decreased.
21:25Did he run too much?
21:28The number of motors may have decreased.
21:32It's like a doctor.
21:35There is no problem with the transmitter.
21:38So Imai thinks there is a cause for the motor.
21:44He loves this RC car.
21:47He has been driving this car a lot.
21:52He thought the reason was that he put the car in a puddle.
21:59However, he has been driving this car for many years.
22:02He thought the motor was a consumable.
22:04So he thought the motor was a consumable.
22:08However, this is unexpected.
22:13I will disassemble it.
22:15First, remove the body and disassemble the chassis.
22:20First, disassemble the chassis to identify the cause of the failure.
22:36Then...
22:39The wiring is broken.
22:43This is the wiring for the motor.
22:48This is the cause.
22:52Let's fix it.
22:57The wiring for the motor is broken.
23:03The wiring for the motor is broken.
23:06There may be other causes of failure.
23:09Let's connect the broken wiring.
23:14What is the cause of the broken wiring?
23:16Something came in while driving.
23:20Like a branch of a tree.
23:22I don't know.
23:25First, remove the coating from the broken wiring.
23:30What is a coating?
23:33Next, solder the coating.
23:37It's fine.
23:41This is the highlight of this time.
23:46Warm the insulation-resistant shrink tube to protect the wiring.
23:52It's interesting.
23:53Is that all?
23:55It's over.
23:59This is amazing.
24:00Fix it.
24:01This is just a wire.
24:03Let's fix it.
24:05Connect the wiring with a wire.
24:07It is reinforced so that the wiring does not break even if the impact is added.
24:12This is a human skill.
24:15Don't get caught there again.
24:18A branch of a tree came in.
24:20I see.
24:21You have to be careful.
24:26It's beautiful.
24:27It's done.
24:28I don't know until I try to move it.
24:30How is it?
24:31I feel like I can move it.
24:33I want you to move it.
24:35The repair of the wiring is complete.
24:40Is his precious partner cured?
24:45Oh!
24:51The RC car was given to him by Santa, who was 8 years old and lived in Nishitama, Tokyo.
25:00The repair of the broken wiring is complete.
25:04Finally, check the operation.
25:07Will his partner move?
25:13Oh!
25:18It's fixed.
25:22It's just one step away.
25:24The fastest repair.
25:28This is easy.
25:30It was fast.
25:32The fastest repair in the history of the program.
25:35The repair was completed in just 20 minutes.
25:40According to Mr. Imai.
25:42The impact on the puddle of water damaged the wiring.
25:46As a result, the wiring broke.
25:50I don't know.
25:53And the repair is complete.
25:56Mr. Imai.
26:01He is kind.
26:04What is this?
26:05This is for the car.
26:07This is for the car.
26:09Bike.
26:10Bicycle.
26:11RC car.
26:12Parts cleaner.
26:17Cleaning with a parts cleaner for a car.
26:21It's Mr. Imai's way of playing.
26:27Do you want me to apply wax?
26:29No.
26:30It's okay.
26:33Completed.
26:36It was easy this time.
26:40Hisashi's treasure from Santa Claus.
26:45His partner's RC car is back.
26:49I'm glad.
26:50The repair fee this time is 8,600 yen.
26:54It's really cheap.
26:56And to Hisashi, who had been waiting.
27:01How is it?
27:03It's okay.
27:06Then Hisashi.
27:13I'm going.
27:16His partner, who has been revived for the first time in a year.
27:19Just like before.
27:21Go to the park to run as hard as you can outside.
27:26And.
27:31I got it.
27:36I'm glad.
27:39You did it.
27:42I'm sure men will be happy.
27:45How much fun is it?
27:4710,000 yen.
27:49It's 10,000 yen.
27:51Hisashi is running hard with his partner for the first time in a year.
27:55He looks happy.
27:58Hisashi tells Imai how he feels on the phone.
28:02Hello.
28:05Thank you for fixing my RC car.
28:09How is it?
28:11It's fun.
28:13Where are you running?
28:16There was a lot of mud on the road.
28:18Did you run outside?
28:21I'm running in the park.
28:25You're running in the park.
28:27I'm glad you fixed it.
28:30I'm happy.
28:33I'm glad.
28:35I can see you playing.
28:42I'm glad.
28:46Imai, you're really good.
28:48I'm happy.
28:49It's not a new car because it's broken.
28:51It's a car that can be fixed.
28:53I'm going to take good care of it.
