00:01Now, 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.
00:25Hideko Yamashita, the founder of Danshari, is the one who makes the decision.
00:33She is a master of Danshari and life, who has guided countless people.
00:40Danshari is about the shape of a couple and marriage.
00:51Choose a new life and way of life with your own decisions.
00:56The door of your life will open now.
01:01She has started to live alone, but her room is so dirty that she can't call her family.
01:09Even after 4 years, no one has come.
01:14It's embarrassing and I don't like it.
01:18She decided to join Danshari at the age of 50.
01:24Today is a big day.
01:27I've been doing this show for 8 years.
01:30I've never seen such a mess in my past.
01:37For some reason, there are a lot of paper, paper, and paper left.
01:47Moreover, I don't know how to clean because I have lived in my parents' house for a long time.
01:54So, the shiny magician taught her how to choose a cleaning tool.
02:03Oh, it's true.
02:06It's floating.
02:09It's dirty.
02:11Let's clean the house and call my family.
02:16The first cleaning begins.
02:24This is Hideko Yamashita's house in Danshari.
02:29It's full of hobbies and souvenirs.
02:33It's her first time to learn how to clean at the age of 50.
02:38Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture
02:41Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture
02:44Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture
02:47She lives alone in an apartment.
02:52Good morning.
02:54Good morning.
02:56Nice to meet you.
02:58Nice to meet you.
03:00Ms. Akiko is 50 years old.
03:03Ms. Akiko is 50 years old.
03:05Her sister is a housekeeper with a loft.
03:09Suddenly, she sees a pile of cardboard.
03:14What's in it?
03:16What's in it?
03:18There's a lot of junk and documents.
03:22It's a mess.
03:25I can't throw away the things I bought or got from someone.
03:31I can't throw away the things I bought or got from someone.
03:39But it doesn't seem to be just things.
03:43This pile is...
03:51This is from August.
03:54If there's something I'm interested in, I'll read it later.
04:01What are you interested in?
04:03I completely forgot about this.
04:06I completely forgot about this.
04:09What?
04:11Did you forget what you wanted to read?
04:14I live alone, so I sometimes go out to eat.
04:18I use this kind of flyer.
04:23It's due by October 2nd.
04:28It looks like she left it to use later and it's piled up.
04:33It's a mess.
04:35You don't put it in the closet?
04:38I don't put it in the closet because it's full.
04:43It's hard to put it in here.
04:47It's said that she filled the closet with things she brought from home.
04:55It's been four years since she started living alone.
05:00Until then, she went to work from her home in the neighborhood.
05:07But four years ago...
05:12Because of COVID-19, my parents are old.
05:21I'm the only one who works outside.
05:26I don't want my parents to get COVID-19.
05:33So I decided to live alone.
05:38That's when I started living alone.
05:41Akiko left her parents' home for the first time when she was 46 years old.
05:46My mother used to clean the house and cook for us.
05:56I thought it was normal.
06:00But if I don't clean the house, it will get dirty.
06:08But there are other reasons why things are piled up.
06:13There are other reasons why things are piled up.
06:16I like to be impressed.
06:19That's why I have a collection of goods.
06:24She likes to act.
06:27So she has a collection of tickets and flyers to celebrate her impression.
06:33That's a lot of things.
06:38I like cats the most.
06:40Once a week,
06:44I sat in various seats.
06:46I've been there 66 times.
06:4866 times?
06:51That's a lot of souvenirs.
06:57I bought my favorite book from McDonald's.
07:05She started working part-time in high school.
07:08She is a big fan of fast food restaurants.
07:13She goes to various restaurants and collects receipts to celebrate.
07:20I love corn.
07:23This is corn.
07:25This is baked corn.
07:28This is boiled corn.
07:31She has loved corn since she was a child.
07:35She can't help collecting goods.
07:42Which one do you like?
07:45I like both.
07:49The baked one is delicious.
07:51The boiled one is also delicious.
07:56She records her favorite TV show and keeps it as a souvenir.
08:01She collects a lot of souvenirs.
08:05That's why she is in this situation.
08:09She is a type of person who spends a lot of money on hobbies.
08:14But what about food?
08:17I don't usually cook and eat by myself.
08:22What are you going to eat for lunch?
08:24I'm only going to eat tofu today.
08:31She eats tofu and salad.
08:36Do you eat there?
08:39I might be lonely, but I eat here.
08:43Like this.
08:46Don't you have a table?
08:48I don't have a table, so I eat with my hands on my knees.
08:56If you look closely, there is a table, but you can't use it.
09:07She doesn't seem to be able to enjoy living alone.
09:15What is that bicycle?
09:17What is a bicycle?
09:19It's my ideal.
09:22It's an exercise.
09:24I watch TV while riding a bicycle.
09:28That's my ideal.
09:32When the room is clean, there are many things I want to do.
09:37I think it would be nice if I could do it.
09:41Especially inside.
09:44Even now, four years have passed, no one has come.
09:49No one has called you?
09:51No one has called me.
09:53It's embarrassing and unpleasant to be asked,
09:58so I hope my parents will call me and let me sit down.
10:03That's my ideal.
10:05She wants to clean the room and call her parents.
10:10But she doesn't know how to let go of the souvenirs she has collected.
10:20Yamashita-san, please teach me.
10:25Excuse me.
10:29Hello.
10:31Nice to meet you.
10:33I'm Yamashita. Nice to meet you.
10:36Excuse me.
10:40I've been to many places.
10:44Is this your room?
10:46Yes.
10:48Are you painting on the loft?
10:50Are you riding a bicycle?
10:53I'm thinking of riding a bicycle.
10:57You're thinking of riding a bicycle, but you're limited in this space.
11:02You have to do it thoroughly.
11:03Right?
11:05It's not an object, it's a space.
11:07Do you understand?
11:09What's going on in the closet?
11:13You're at your limit.
11:15You can't go any further than this.
11:17You're saying that it's just right for you to put things here.
11:21You're saying that it's just right for you to put things here every day.
11:28That's right.
11:32It looks like there are only a limited number of things you have to ride a bicycle,
11:38but Yamashita-san's perspective was different.
11:43This is...
11:45But there's a lot of things.
11:49Where should I start?
11:50Be careful.
11:54There's a lot of paper, so it doesn't look like there's a lot of things.
12:00It takes a lot of time to judge each piece of paper while looking at it.
12:10Let's think of this as a mountain and break it down.
12:13Things you don't need.
12:15Things you need.
12:17And things in front.
12:18Let's make it a mountain.
12:20First of all, the newspaper and flyer that he left behind to read later.
12:27It's a lot of paper.
12:30It's almost all paper.
12:32That's right.
12:34This is hard.
12:36There's no time to open the envelope.
12:40The newspaper and flyer are all disposed of at this time.
12:45What's next?
12:48These are souvenir goods.
12:50What are you going to do with these?
12:53I want to decorate them.
12:55Let's decorate them.
12:58It seems that there are still a lot of hurdles to let go of the souvenirs he bought on the trip.
13:09Cats cards.
13:11I went to see all of these.
13:12I went to see all of these.
13:14I like Kangeki, so I have a Kangeki flyer.
13:19I keep everything like a souvenir.
13:23You're crushing the present with past souvenirs.
13:27You don't need to crush the present.
13:30I'm not making a museum.
13:33That's right.
13:34I'm just looking back.
13:36I'm not looking back. I'm just loading it.
13:38That's right.
13:40Mr. Yamashita is very strict.
13:45However, this is a collection of his favorite plays, so he won't be able to dispose of them all.
13:54He decided to keep them for the time being.
14:00What's in the box in the back?
14:03What's in the box in the back?
14:06This is also a T-shirt.
14:09It's a soccer t-shirt.
14:11Let's wear it.
14:13We made it together at school.
14:16How many years ago was it?
14:19It was a soccer club when I was in middle school and high school.
14:25At that time, I had kept a T-shirt I made as a souvenir for more than 30 years.
14:33What's in the heavy attache case?
14:38This is what I kept when I was a swimmer.
14:46Oh, my!
14:48This is an open book of the swimming school when I was in elementary school.
14:53My mother kept it for me.
14:57I'll keep it for a while.
14:59When did you get it?
15:00I got it when I was a swimmer.
15:03She was a swimmer, too.
15:07I like swimming, soccer, scuba diving, ballet, basketball, and track and field.
15:17I like to move my body.
15:21Ms. Akiko, you're an active person.
15:25There are nearly 10 types of sports she challenged.
15:31However, when she reached a certain level, her interest changed.
15:37Now, everything is a souvenir of the past.
15:41You can take it off.
15:43It's okay.
15:45She decided to take off all the sports related souvenirs.
15:53After that, she fought with the paper materials that came out one after another.
16:01At the same time, she took off six bags of garbage bags.
16:08And she decided to take what she could use to the recycle shop.
16:17The mountain of souvenirs that occupied the room for 50 years
16:24was reduced by half on the first day.
16:31However, there are still hundreds of boxes of souvenirs left.
16:41I wanted to leave nothing behind.
16:45But I'm so greedy today.
16:48I've been doing this show for 8 years.
16:51I've never seen so much paper and garbage.
16:55It's my first time.
16:58I can look at all the souvenirs now.
17:01If I do it one by one every day...
17:05By doing it every day, she got used to letting go.
17:09She says goodbye to the souvenirs as much as possible.
17:13That's her homework.
17:20I feel relieved.
17:23Thank you very much.
17:29Thanks to her long family life,
17:32she was able to do whatever she wanted.
17:35But she didn't rely on her parents to do housework.
17:40After this, she has a new worry.
17:53She has a new worry.
17:56She has a new worry.
17:59She has a new worry.
18:02She has a new worry.
18:05The next day
18:07Day 2 of her bicycle ride.
18:12Hello.
18:14Nice to meet you.
18:17I did it last night.
18:20It was a bit rough.
18:23I thought I did a good job.
18:28She has a lot of hair, so it's hard for her to change her appearance.
18:33But she seems to be doing her best.
18:39Oh, that T-shirt is from high school.
18:44It's a T-shirt I wore when I played soccer.
18:50Did you wear it right away?
18:52Yes, I wore it right away.
18:54I thought I should wear it.
18:58She puts on a souvenir and checks the documents one by one.
19:16Then, Akiko's hand stopped.
19:21What is that?
19:24This is a 5-day festival.
19:26It's not a special event, but I participated in it.
19:31I like going to the castle.
19:33So I brought a pamphlet of the castle I went to.
19:42What should I do?
19:44She goes to the castle.
19:48It's really a hobby.
19:53I heard that when she was in elementary school,
19:57she challenged all kinds of things,
20:02including relay racers,
20:05singing contest hosts, and curiosity.
20:09I've had a lot of part-time jobs.
20:13In addition to a part-time job at a fast food restaurant,
20:17I also worked at a movie theater, a rental video store,
20:22and a wedding ceremony.
20:30What's more surprising is that I traveled abroad.
20:34I went abroad with my family every year,
20:39and I traveled abroad more and more on my own.
20:43She has visited more than 50 countries.
20:49My father is very curious.
20:56He often travels abroad on his own.
21:02When I see him, I feel curious, too.
21:07I feel like he's my father.
21:13Her father, Mr. You, is the reason why she likes to travel abroad.
21:20She has traveled to more than 120 countries,
21:24and she also publishes books on her own.
21:29Ms. Akiko respects her father so much.
21:36She can't call her family to this room
21:38because she doesn't want to show her father her ugliness.
21:50Ms. Akiko has started a new hobby this year.
21:57Mount Fuji.
22:00I wanted to climb Mt. Fuji
22:03because I thought it was the perfect place to start my half-life.
22:12She starts her day at the Umagaishi Climbing Gate,
22:17which is more to the front than the first gate.
22:21After walking to the fifth gate,
22:24she starts again at the fifth gate the next day.
22:27She takes her time to reach the top of the mountain.
22:34Unfortunately,
22:38it's foggy today, so I can't see much of the scenery.
22:46She talks about her feelings as she walks.
22:51My mother always helps me to keep my balance.
22:57I feel so grateful to her.
23:06If my room becomes clean,
23:10I'd like to invite my family to come and visit.
23:19Because her parents did housework for her,
23:21she became passionate about what she likes and lived to be 50 years old.
23:29She started to feel that way more and more.
23:36Ms. Akiko says she's having a hard time with her housework.
23:45I have to clean the house,
23:48but my mother does all the housework for me.
23:55I don't know what kind of detergent to buy.
24:00I can only do the minimum.
24:03She doesn't know how to clean the house.
24:07She's been living alone for four years,
24:10so there's a lot of dirt.
24:14So...
24:15You can write on it, right?
24:18You wrap the kitchen paper like this.
24:23Look, look, look.
24:26It's so beautiful.
24:28The master of cleaning has appeared again,
24:33who learned car washing techniques from Ms. Yamashita.
24:38The shiny magician, Trainer Yuko Osawa.
24:43You can do this standing up, but you don't have enough strength.
24:51She gives a lecture on how to choose a cleaning tool at the home improvement center.
24:58Her first cleaning lesson at the age of 50 begins.
25:03Let's go.
25:09Hello.
25:11Nice to meet you. I'm Trainer Yuko Osawa.
25:14Nice to meet you. I'm Ms. Akiko.
25:16Nice to meet you.
25:22I'm cleaning the house.
25:24Yes, yes.
25:29Ms. Akiko has a place where she wants to learn how to clean.
25:37It's around the water.
25:39Yes, it's around the water.
25:41It's also about how to clean it.
25:44It's also about how to make sure the dirt doesn't fall off.
25:50First, let's take a look at the bathroom.
26:00She cleans the bathroom once a week.
26:05I'm concerned about the color of the water in the corner and this black stuff.
26:11Is it mold or dirt?
26:12It's mold.
26:15The corner and floor of the bathroom are often clogged with mold and dirt that can't be cleaned normally.
26:25I don't have any bleach.
26:29You don't have any?
26:31No, I don't.
26:33Of course, I don't have any, so I don't use it.
26:36When it comes to mold, I have no choice but to use a mold remover.
26:40If it's necessary, I think it's necessary to buy one.
26:48She hasn't cleaned the bathroom since she moved in.
26:57I'm concerned about the dust.
27:02What about the washing machine?
27:06I've been living here for four years, but I've never cleaned the inside of the washing machine.
27:13I don't think it's dirty because it looks clean, but there's a lot of mold on the back of the drum.
27:27You can't see the back of the drum, but if you don't clean it, the mold will grow.
27:36This time, she's going to teach me how to make the bathroom and washing machine shiny.
27:47Before that, I'm going to the home center with Ms. Osawa.
27:55She'll teach me how to choose cleaning tools and detergents.
27:59First of all, a brush.
28:02There are many kinds, but how can I choose one?
28:07You can stand up and do this, but it doesn't work.
28:14If you have a bad knee or back, you can't help it, but if you have a bad back, you can't help it.
28:24If you have a bad knee or back, you can't help it, but if you can, you can sit down and rub it with your hands.
28:36I see.
28:38The shorter the picture, the easier it is to apply force.
28:44It is recommended that the outside is soft and the inside is hard, so I will buy this.
28:54It is said to be used in different places.
29:00Next is bleach.
29:04There are two types of bleach, chlorine and oxygen.
29:12Chlorine bleach.
29:15If it's not around here, the mold won't come off.
29:20Chlorine.
29:21Chlorine.
29:23It's dangerous not to mix.
29:25It says it's dangerous not to mix.
29:30Chlorine has a stronger whitening and disinfecting power than oxygen, and it is particularly resistant to mold.
29:44This time, I decided to buy chlorine bleach.
29:52Go home and start cleaning.
29:59Start with the dryer on the ceiling of the bathroom.
30:04I haven't cleaned it once in four years.
30:10When I took out the filter,
30:14Here, here.
30:16It's dirty.
30:18Oh, really.
30:21The dust on the surface of the filter is sucked with a vacuum cleaner and then washed with a toothbrush.
30:31There is also dust on the cover.
30:38Here is Mr. Osawa's cleaning technique.
30:43I put a few drops of detergent and make it water.
30:49Just a little bit of neutral detergent used for dish washing makes it easier to remove dirt.
31:01And the hard brush I bought earlier and the microfiber cloth.
31:09Microfiber cloth is one of the seven tools that Mr. Osawa always carries around.
31:20Short fibers catch dust and dirt well.
31:26You can also buy it at a 100-yen shop.
31:31Wrap the microfiber cloth in a brush.
31:36Soak in the solution.
31:40You can wash it like this and take it off.
31:48Do you understand?
31:50Yes.
31:52Oh, it's coming off.
31:55Ms. Akiko also tries.
32:03It's clean.
32:05Oh, really.
32:09The tip of the brush entangles the fine dirt of the groove, so dust can be removed firmly.
32:19Next, corners and floors.
32:24Let's take a closer look.
32:27Black may be mold, and red may be slimy.
32:35That's right.
32:37If you don't whiten it, it won't come off.
32:43She probably judged it was mold and decided to use chlorine-based whitening agent.
32:49When using chlorine-based whitening agent, wear a bath suit and be careful not to get it on your skin or clothes.
33:00Before applying the whitening agent, make sure to rinse the floor with water.
33:07Rinse the floor with water.
33:10By moistening the surface, it is said that the whitening agent will be easier to penetrate the mold.
33:19If it's like this, if it's one or two, you can apply it to the mold.
33:27If you want to apply it to a wider area, put it in something like this.
33:34It's faster to apply it with a brush.
33:37It's faster to apply it with a brush.
33:40It's faster to apply it with a brush.
33:43I was surprised to see this.
33:48The dirt in the corners also falls off.
33:54Hold the brush short.
33:57Gently draw a circle so that there are no scratches on the floor.
34:03The reason why it's been left alone is that it's been accumulated.
34:10It feels good because it's fallen very cleanly.
34:15I don't know how to clean it.
34:18The door sash was full of garbage.
34:24It's clean now.
34:32The dirt on the corners has also fallen beautifully and turned white.
34:41I feel like I can take a bath comfortably.
34:49Next, let's clean the washing machine.
34:57But how do you clean the washing machine?
35:03Everyone, do you know how to clean it?
35:10If you don't know where the dust and hair will go, it will go to the drain.
35:18It means that the hair and dust will be clogged.
35:23Dust accumulated in the waterproof pan to put the washing machine.
35:28This is the dust.
35:31If this gets into the drain, the water flow will be bad or it will cause a bad smell.
35:42If you pull out the outlet and shift the washing machine to the side,
35:48Oh, four years of dust.
35:53I've never seen it before.
35:56If you don't put water on it, it will probably melt.
36:01So if you shift it a little, you can clean it.
36:08Now, it's a four-year-old cleaning.
36:13Remove the hose and clean the inside of the drain.
36:18I'm going to clean it.
36:24There's a black hair dryer like this.
36:28Turn it around and pull it up.
36:32There's a hair dryer.
36:35Oh, my God. It's a big deal.
36:40What's in the drain?
36:44Oh, it smells pretty good.
36:48It smells like sewage.
36:52The cause of the smell is dirt.
36:56Let's remove it thoroughly.
37:00Now the drain is safe.
37:05Next, the back of the drum of the washing machine.
37:09How do you clean it?
37:14The washing machine now has a program.
37:18There's a switch.
37:23What I'm going to use is the washing function of the washing machine.
37:29Here we go again.
37:33If you put it in, it won't take a minute.
37:37Look, it's coming out.
37:41Oh, my God.
37:45It's floating.
37:48It's coming out of places you can't see.
37:53This will clean the dirt for four years.
37:57That's a lot of work.
38:01If you clean the washing machine like this once or twice a month,
38:07You don't have to worry about mold and smell.
38:13The inside of the drum is shiny.
38:18Please keep it.
38:21I'll never forget it.
38:23Thank you very much.
38:26It's a new start.
38:29I hope it won't get moldy.
38:33I hope you have a good year.
38:39After that, as Mr. Akiko said to Mr. Yamashita,
38:44At the pace of a box a day,
38:47I continued to work hard.
38:54Half a month after starting the bicycle.
39:00It's a lot less.
39:04There are six more cases left.
39:09What I was going to sell at the recycle shop is...
39:15The other day, I got a business car to go shopping.
39:19It cost me about 30,000 yen for a total of 150 points.
39:27This time, I'm going to clean up the inside of this closet.
39:32I'd like to do it so that the six cases can fit in.
39:38It's a plan to reduce the contents of the closet and store everything in the room.
39:50And finally,
39:53The family comes to Mr. Akiko's room for the first time.
40:05A month after starting the bicycle.
40:08The news that it was finally completed.
40:15Hello.
40:17It's been a while.
40:21How do you feel?
40:23I feel good.
40:26Let's show me the room where you feel good.
40:37This is...
40:41A room full of souvenirs and paper.
40:48It's clean.
40:50There's nothing left.
40:57I feel refreshed.
41:01I'm influenced by Mr. Yamashita.
41:05She says her daily life has changed.
41:10I eat at night.
41:13I'm relaxing here.
41:15A year ago, I was sitting here.
41:20I was eating while feeling the pressure.
41:24Even if I was eating the same tofu,
41:27I feel more delicious here.
41:30I don't want to go back. I can't go back.
41:34I can only move forward.
41:36I feel like I'm going to explode.
41:40She used to go like this in front of the bicycle.
41:45I can't throw away my memories.
41:52At the age of 50,
41:54she decided to leave her past souvenirs and move forward.
42:07Hello.
42:10Mr. Akiko's father, Mr. Yoh, came here.
42:17He lives nearby,
42:20but this is the first time he's let his daughter stay in his room.
42:27Here you go.
42:29It's wonderful.
42:31It's wonderful.
42:35It's amazing.
42:37I cleaned up here,
42:39and I put the things here in the closet.
42:42I see.
42:46It's wonderful.
42:50Mr. Akiko is happy to receive compliments from his respected father.
43:00Then, his father made a surprising confession.
43:05I have a lot of luggage.
43:09They're all souvenirs,
43:12so I can't throw them away.
43:14Mr. Akiko said exactly the same thing.
43:17As expected of his father's daughter.
43:23I see.
43:24His father is also the type to store souvenirs.
43:30Thank you very much.
43:32Thank you very much.
43:36His daughter is more of a senior to him.
43:41From now on, please come to his room and teach him how to clean up.
43:51What should I do with the souvenirs?
43:54What should I do with the souvenirs?
43:56I get a lot of questions about how to do it.
44:01But I can't solve it with just one word or technique.
44:07Mr. Aiko had a lot of hobbies like playing the piano,
44:11so he took all the programs, flyers, and tickets.
44:16I think about how much I want to be close to the souvenirs.
44:23If I think I'm really close to the souvenirs,
44:27I think it's okay to keep them.
44:31But I wanted him to ask himself how much he needs to be close to the souvenirs.
44:42I've been living for a long time.
44:46If I keep all the souvenirs, I think I'll be running out of them.
44:54It's important to exchange them.
44:58It's good to experience new things and let go of the souvenirs.
45:09Mr. Aiko doesn't look back anymore.
45:13He has a lot of things he wants to try.
45:18I'm thinking of going to Hawaii.
45:21I was going to go on a honeymoon, but I don't have any plans at all.
45:25I'm thinking of going to the Honolulu Marathon.
45:27But it's not easy.
45:29You're going to the Honolulu Marathon?
45:31Yes, I want to try it at least once.
45:35After climbing to the top of Mt. Fuji,
45:39the next stop is the Honolulu Marathon.
45:43After that, he's ready to go to space.
45:51I have to enjoy my life to the fullest.
