00:00Kureto!
00:03Generations' Hayato Komori
00:06has received a super-luxury feast from a famous artist.
00:13I was invited to a private dinner by Mr. Takuro Grey.
00:17It was our first dome tour as Generations.
00:22When we finished the tour,
00:25I asked Mr. Komori if I could go to dinner with him.
00:30He took me to a French restaurant.
00:33He told me to choose what to eat first.
00:37He told me to choose what to eat first.
00:43Mr. Komori is a friend of mine,
00:47but he is also a man.
00:49He told me that I did a great job.
00:52I still can't forget that dinner.
00:58I still remember that restaurant.
01:02When my mother or my friends need me,
01:07I can take them there.
01:10When I really need something,
01:13I can take them there.
01:17I still remember that French restaurant.
01:20He is a man.
01:22He is really a man.
01:24From Japan,
01:31Benin, West Africa is about 13,500 km away.
01:39There are still a lot of things left in the rural areas.
01:47I run a fish shop.
01:49You run a fish shop?
01:51Yes, here.
01:54She is 46 years old.
01:58She is the second wife of Mr. Tasaisei.
02:04Hello, my name is Senda.
02:08She runs a fish shop and an ice cream shop.
02:16Where is your husband now?
02:19He is in a different city.
02:24He is working there.
02:27You don't live together?
02:29No, we don't live together.
02:30Sometimes he comes back.
02:32How often does he come back?
02:34Twice a month.
02:37It's quite small.
02:40Her husband is single in a city where he has driven 120 km by car.
02:45Let's ask her why.
02:48I have a lot of money.
02:50A lot of money?
02:53It's hard.
02:54I have a first wife and four children.
02:58I am the second wife.
03:00You have to take care of two families.
03:04You have to help them.
03:07It's hard.
03:08If I have money, I can take care of as many children as I want.
03:16I have eight children.
03:20She has four children, her husband, Mr. Tasaisei and her first wife.
03:26Her fourth child is the same age as her second wife, Mr. Yoko.
03:36You have to take care of them all.
03:39It's a big responsibility.
03:43Mr. Tasaisei has a lot of family members, so he has a big responsibility.
03:51Mr. Tasaisei's husband, Mr. Bona, also works in a city farm and has two families.
04:01But they live on the edge.
04:04So Mr. Tasaisei also runs a fish shop and an ice cream shop.
04:12What kind of relationship do you have?
04:15At first, I thought he was cool, but now I think he is old.
04:22But why did she suddenly become the second wife of Mr. Tasaisei in South Africa?
04:32What's behind it?
04:35What's behind it?
04:37It's a letter from my child's guardian.
04:41There's a letter in the child's guardian's book.
04:47It hurts. I couldn't do anything while looking at it.
04:51I felt sorry for him.
04:58What's going on?
05:04I don't know.
05:06Sudden tears.
05:10What happened?
05:16To find out the two mysteries, they visit the cowardly life in Africa.
05:24Good morning.
05:26Please come in.
05:28Excuse me.
05:31This is Caesar.
05:33Caesar is still sleeping.
05:37Caesar.
05:40Wake up.
05:43Wake up.
05:48Caesar.
05:52It's 8 o'clock in the morning.
05:55He's snoring.
05:58What's this net?
06:00It's a mosquito net.
06:02I use it all year round.
06:04Malaria is the scariest.
06:07If you get stung, you die.
06:10There are a lot of mosquitoes with malaria.
06:14It's a mosquito net.
06:18Mosquitoes are often stung while sleeping.
06:21It's necessary to have a mosquito net around the bed.
06:27This is a toilet and a shower.
06:32A shower room.
06:34I have a shower on top.
06:36But it's broken, so I can't use it.
06:38The water pressure is not good.
06:41I put water in the bottom of the shower.
06:44I use it as if I were bathing.
06:46Is that so?
06:50I flush the water and it's over.
06:52Mama.
06:53Wake up, Caesar.
06:56I heard you.
06:58I'll say it again and again.
07:03It's very dirty.
07:05This is a machine that connects the solar panel.
07:10It's connected from here to the outside.
07:14All the electricity we have is connected to the solar panel.
07:21Let's go buy breakfast.
07:27Where are the children going to buy breakfast?
07:34The number of children is increasing.
07:37The number of children is increasing.
07:39The number of children is increasing.
07:41Why?
07:44What's wrong with everyone?
07:49The children are going inside the house.
07:52It's a human land.
07:55What are they going to buy?
08:01It's time to eat.
08:04It's amazing.
08:08It looks delicious.
08:10It's fried.
08:19It's freshly fried.
08:23Let's taste it.
08:30It's a rice bowl.
08:36Is this breakfast?
08:38It's like porridge.
08:40What's this?
08:42It's sugar.
08:44You put a lot of sugar in it.
08:46Five, six, seven.
08:48It's very sweet.
08:51It's easy for small children to drink.
08:54It's also good for people who are sick.
08:58What are the children eating?
09:01It's a bean curd.
09:03Bean curd?
09:05Bean curd is a staple of breakfast in Vietnam.
09:09It tastes similar to Okinawan satay.
09:13It's a big satay.
09:15It looks delicious.
09:19Mom, where is it?
09:22On this day, they bought eight donuts and porridge for three people.
09:27How much is it in total?
09:30It's less than 200 yen.
09:32It's warm.
09:40Number one.
09:44You're charging your phone.
09:47This?
09:49It's a portable charger.
09:51It's a portable charger.
09:53When there's no electricity.
09:55That person.
09:57The person wearing a hat.
09:59The person wearing a black hat.
10:01The person wearing a hat.
10:03Good man.
10:06He's an electric thief.
10:08He's strong.
10:10He's strong.
10:12It's good that he doesn't get caught.
10:16He made it yesterday, but no one ate it.
10:21Yoko's specialty, sausage fried rice.
10:25Last night, they didn't feel like eating fried rice.
10:28They ate bread instead.
10:30I made so much.
10:33That's a lot.
10:36Mom, where is Shio?
10:44Vegetables.
10:47It's good to be with mom.
10:49It's good.
10:51It's good.
10:55I like mayonnaise eggs.
10:57That's right.
10:59This is totally different.
11:02They're free.
11:04As a result, they didn't eat the breakfast they went to buy.
11:09Their favorite mayonnaise boiled egg was their breakfast.
11:15How does it taste?
11:17It's good.
11:20It's good.
11:23Please taste it.
11:30It's sour.
11:33It's a little sour.
11:35It's a little different from what I imagined.
11:37I added a lot of sugar.
11:39It's sweet and sour.
11:42The basic part of breakfast is to ferment corn.
11:47That's why it's sour.
11:49You have to add sugar.
11:51I see.
11:54I'd like some fish.
12:00I'd like some fish.
12:02Yoko didn't eat breakfast.
12:05This time, she went to the fish market.
12:09Wait a minute.
12:19I'll measure it here.
12:24The fish bought frozen is sold for 180 yen for two.
12:38I'm trying to figure out what time I bought the fish.
12:46How much did you buy yesterday?
12:48I bought 6,700 grams of fish yesterday.
12:55That's the price of the fish you bought yesterday.
12:57But I calculated it a month later.
13:01It's not that good.
13:03Did you make a lot of money?
13:06I think I made about 1,000 to 2,000 yen.
13:09That's my final calculation.
13:13That's a lot of money.
13:15There is no fish market around here.
13:18I hope everyone will come here.
13:26The fish market is three kilometers away.
13:29This is a must-visit place for the neighbors who don't have a car.
13:36Even if they don't make a lot of money,
13:38they continue to make a living for the people in the area.
13:44It's helpful for everyone.
13:49It's a bit sour.
13:50Yes, it is.
13:52It's 11 a.m.
13:54They finally have a late breakfast.
13:59While looking at the fish market,
14:02Yoko is busy washing and cleaning.
14:08Who is it?
14:12Is it a friend?
14:13There is a hole.
14:14Did someone come?
14:17Don't open it.
14:19There is a hole to open it.
14:23That's a thief.
14:26Is that a thief?
14:30Last year,
14:33during the day,
14:35when there was no one around,
14:37someone tried to enter the house.
14:39He was locking the door.
14:41He was locking the door,
14:43so he tried to open the door.
14:47But the door was locked,
14:49and he couldn't open it.
14:53So he couldn't enter the house.
14:55It's a bit worrisome that
14:58there is no money for an adult man.
15:02I'm worried.
15:04That's right.
15:14What's wrong?
15:15Stop, stop, stop.
15:18It stinks.
15:19It stinks.
15:21Timmy, go to Bianbei.
15:24Why did you use this toy?
15:28Seiza, stop it.
15:32Oh, no.
15:33He got caught.
15:34That's enough.
15:35Stop it.
15:37That's enough.
15:40Seiza is angry at his brother
15:43who used his own toy.
15:47Wow.
15:49They fought a lot.
15:50Yes, they fought a lot.
15:56Seiza, stop it.
15:58He is a good friend.
16:02Why?
16:06They fought a lot.
16:08Why?
16:10Seiza, stop it.
16:12I'm stronger.
16:14Oh, no.
16:15It's me.
16:20I don't like this.
16:23That's enough.
16:29A 6-year-old boy
16:31who has a lot of power.
16:34He is like an endless man.
16:36I see.
16:37I have to hit him until he calms down.
16:41I'll hit him back.
16:44Then I'll get angry at him.
16:47What did you do to the pink boy?
16:50I hit him on the butt.
16:52I tried to help him.
16:54I told him to stop.
16:56Then I got angry at him.
16:58I got angry at him.
17:00I see.
17:01Don't you get angry?
17:03What?
17:04Don't you get angry?
17:06At me?
17:07Even if I get angry,
17:10if I hit him,
17:13he will get angry again.
17:16It will be worse.
17:20The pink boy is strong.
17:23He looks strong.
17:26I try to stop him.
17:31It's hard for a mom to do it alone.
17:36What would you do if your dad was there?
17:39I would hit him.
17:43I wouldn't hit him,
17:45but he would pull me away.
17:48It wouldn't last long.
17:51I see.
17:52It wouldn't last long.
17:53I see.
17:54I think it's a good thing.
17:55I see.
17:56What would you do if your dad wasn't there?
17:58If he wasn't there,
18:00it would be hard.
18:01It would be hard.
18:02I see.
18:04Another day
18:07Another day
18:09I wonder if he's back.
18:15Let's go.
18:16What are you doing?
18:21He's back.
18:25He's back.
18:27I'm glad.
18:28Welcome back.
18:30Welcome back.
18:32Hello.
18:34I wonder if Sunder is here.
18:37Where is everyone?
18:39Hello.
18:40Hello.
18:41Do you speak Japanese?
18:43Nice to meet you.
18:44I'm Bona.
18:45Bona.
18:46Nice to meet you.
18:47Nice to meet you.
18:48This is Yoko's husband.
18:50He's 39 years old.
18:54He's 7 years younger than Yoko.
18:57He's young.
18:59He's fluent in Japanese.
19:02After marrying Yoko,
19:04he can speak Japanese now.
19:07That's amazing.
19:08On this day,
19:09he came back to his hometown,
19:12which is a month away from his hometown.
19:15Welcome back.
19:16Welcome back.
19:17Welcome back.
19:18Welcome back.
19:19Are you inside?
19:20Are you inside?
19:21He speaks Japanese very well.
19:23Are you inside?
19:24Are you inside?
19:25He's inside.
19:26He's inside.
19:27Stop it.
19:28He doesn't say welcome back.
19:30He doesn't say welcome back.
19:32Say hello.
19:33Yes.
19:34Hello.
19:35Where are you?
19:36He didn't respond when I came back.
19:38I don't know.
19:39I don't know.
19:40I don't know.
19:42I don't know what he's doing.
19:43I don't know what he's doing.
19:53How are you?
19:54I'm fine.
19:55I'm back.
19:56I'm back.
19:57I'm back.
19:58I'm back.
19:59Are you happy?
20:01Wow, amazing.
20:03Pineapple.
20:05They got the souvenirs near the office.
20:08Fresh pineapples.
20:17Hime-chan, you look happy.
20:18You look happy.
20:19You like it, don't you?
20:22It's sad, but it's my job.
20:25That's right.
20:27Everyone has to work hard to be happy.
20:29That's right.
20:30I'm a little embarrassed.
20:32I'm so happy today.
20:34That's right.
20:37They packed the pineapples they brought home as souvenirs.
20:43They leave the house.
20:48Where are they going?
20:50Where are they going?
20:5420 minutes from home.
20:56What have they come to?
21:03All the members of the family live around here.
21:07Your husband's family lives around here?
21:09Yes, they live around here.
21:12Hello.
21:13Hello.
21:14Hello.
21:15This is my brother.
21:16Your brother?
21:17This is my father's brother's child.
21:19Your father's child?
21:20Yes, this is my father's child.
21:24About 30 generations of your husband's family live in a soccer court.
21:33Do they live in such a large area?
21:35It's a large area.
21:36Do they usually live as a family?
21:39That's right.
21:41It's different when you go to the city.
21:43When you go to the countryside,
21:46there are a lot of families living together.
21:51There are a lot of children,
21:54so they all live together.
21:57They don't need to go to kindergarten.
22:00I see.
22:01It must be fun.
22:02This is my family home.
22:04Your family home?
22:05Yes.
22:06That's my father.
22:10That's your father?
22:11Yes.
22:12How is your daughter?
22:13She's fine.
22:15How are the children?
22:17They're fine.
22:18That's the most important thing.
22:20They're fine.
22:23These are the children of Bona.
22:26The children of Bona?
22:27These are the children of Bona's first wife.
22:31I see.
22:32Are they your family?
22:35This is my eldest daughter.
22:36Hello.
22:37Your eldest daughter?
22:38Yes, my eldest daughter.
22:40This is Mina. She's 15 years old.
22:43They're close, right?
22:44Yes, they are.
22:47These are the children of the first wife and Bona.
22:52They're all girls.
22:53This is the youngest child.
22:56He's the eldest son.
22:57Oh, I see.
22:59The eldest son of the first wife is 4 years old.
23:03He's the same age as Chime.
23:05They're about the same age.
23:07I see.
23:10These are the children of the first wife and Bona.
23:14This is where the Bona family is gathered.
23:18What's this?
23:19This is the eldest daughter.
23:20What's this?
23:21This is the youngest daughter.
23:22We couldn't see the first wife on this day.
23:26I'm sure the first wife has been there.
23:28That's right.
23:29She must have said,
23:30It's been a long time.
23:31and talked to her.
23:33Have you met her?
23:35I've met her many times.
23:37I see.
23:38She comes to my house often.
23:40She comes to my house often.
23:41She comes to my house often.
23:43They live in each other's house.
23:45I see.
23:46They cook together.
23:49That's great.
23:50What are they talking about?
23:52Well, it's normal.
23:56If we cook together,
23:58she teaches me how to cook.
23:59I see.
24:01She tells me what to prepare next.
24:03We talk normally.
24:06They get along well.
24:09I was surprised at first
24:11because they have different senses.
24:15In Japan, it's hard to do that.
24:17It's hard.
24:19There are two wives,
24:21and each has a child.
24:24It's strange.
24:25It's normal.
24:28It's totally different from Japan.
24:30Really?
24:32I was surprised at the uncle of Guna's relative.
24:39I'm sure he has a wife.
24:41A wife?
24:43He has 8 to 9 wives.
24:46He looks like a king.
24:50How many children does he have?
24:52I don't know.
24:54I'm not sure.
24:57They are surprised at many things.
25:02What does Yoko mean to you?
25:07She is the second wife.
25:10What does she look like?
25:12She is very serious.
25:14When I go to her house,
25:16she often cooks dinner for me.
25:19It's very delicious.
25:21I love it.
25:24They all love Yoko.
25:26I see.
25:32The first wife and the second wife.
25:36The two families have a good relationship.
25:43If they don't have a good relationship...
25:45That's right.
25:49At 6 p.m.
25:51I'll cook.
25:53I'll cook today.
25:55I haven't been home for a long time.
25:57On this day,
25:59Bona, who came back after half a month,
26:01will cook dinner for Yoko.
26:06What did you have for dinner?
26:08I had ramen.
26:10Ramen?
26:13Where do you sell Japanese ingredients?
26:16We don't sell Japanese ingredients.
26:21Ramen is loved by the family.
26:26But what kind of ramen can they make in West Africa?
26:34The soup is a special pork soup taken out of a pork restaurant.
26:42The soup looks delicious.
26:47Instead of pork,
26:49they use fried pork from the same pork restaurant.
26:53It's soft.
26:55And the noodles are...
26:58Pasta?
27:00Spaghetti?
27:03Spaghetti?
27:07By putting the ingredients in the spaghetti,
27:10it becomes like Chinese noodles.
27:13What is this?
27:15I don't know.
27:19They put white powder.
27:22What is this?
27:28What is that white powder?
27:30Baking soda.
27:32Baking soda?
27:34If you put baking soda, it becomes like ramen?
27:37When boiling spaghetti noodles,
27:39by adding baking soda,
27:42it becomes like chewy Chinese noodles.
27:48It looks like ramen.
27:54And...
27:57That's a lot.
27:59I'm surprised.
28:03Did the spaghetti become like Chinese noodles?
28:09It looks like ramen.
28:17This is not good.
28:20It's not good.
28:23Hello.
28:25There are a lot of noodles.
28:27What did you put in the baking soda?
28:30This is spaghetti powder.
28:33The amount of baking soda for the food is too small.
28:36They failed.
28:43Is it good?
28:44Do you think it's good?
28:45Spaghetti is good.
28:48So, they change the route.
28:51They cut the onions and cabbages at home.
28:55And they pick up the fish sold at the restaurant.
29:01They mix them together.
29:06They simply season it with salt.
29:12And they put a lot of spaghetti in it.
29:17It doesn't look like somen anymore.
29:22And it's done.
29:26That's a lot.
29:28They simply season it with salt.
29:30It's an original spaghetti with cabbage and fish.
29:35Let's eat.
29:39Let's eat.
29:43How does it taste?
29:46I think it's good.
29:47Is it good?
29:50It's good.
29:52It's good.
29:53It's good.
29:55The noodles are too soft.
29:58But the taste is good.
30:00I'm glad.
30:01It's good.
30:03I'm glad.
30:04It's good.
30:08It's good.
30:09It's good.
30:10It's good.
30:11It's good.
30:12It's good.
30:13But why did Yoko become a wife of Ippu Tasaisei in Benan, West Africa, far away from Japan?
30:24I cried day and night.
30:28I thought I could do more.
30:34But there was a life drama on the other side.
30:42In 1978, in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture,
30:47Yoko was born to her father, who was a first-class architect, and her mother, who was a housewife.
30:53My parents worked every day.
30:56We worked so much that we didn't care about the weekend.
31:01My mother took care of everything in the house.
31:05My mother was the one who hit me.
31:08My mother was the one who got angry and hit me.
31:11My mother was someone who could talk about anything.
31:14She was like a friend and a parent.
31:17A strict and kind mother.
31:20She was a mother of three.
31:25I'm a twin.
31:27I'm a sister.
31:29I have a sister who's 15 minutes older than me.
31:32Her name is Yuko.
31:34Yoko.
31:35I'm a manzai poet.
31:37Yoko Yoko.
31:39She went to the same school as her twin sister, who was always with her.
31:48After that, they went their separate ways.
31:51Now, her sister, Yuko, is married to a dentist in Japan and is living a happy life.
32:02On the other hand, what path did Yoko take after graduating high school?
32:08I liked children, so I wanted to be a nurse.
32:13If I was going to be a nurse, I wanted to be a dentist.
32:21When she was 21 years old, she worked as a dentist at a hospital in Kobe.
32:29But soon after she started working, she suddenly learned the truth.
32:37She was my younger brother's friend.
32:41He had a heart defect.
32:44When I asked him where he wanted to go after he was discharged,
32:47he said he wanted to go to a gas station and drink cream soda.
32:53We talked about that.
32:57But he passed away when I was working part-time.
33:00When I was in charge.
33:02I really felt the weight of life.
33:08The death of a loved one.
33:12As she experienced the reality...
33:15I think I had a weird autonomic nervous system.
33:18My body started to shake at strange times.
33:23When Yoko was 25 years old,
33:26she had a traumatic event that was like a blow to her heart.
33:33Her mother was diagnosed with cancer.
33:37She was told she might not live to be half a year.
33:43Her mother, who was 51 years old at the time, was fine.
33:48But she was suddenly diagnosed with pregnancy.
33:52Her daily life was getting worse and worse.
33:58I quit my job right away.
34:00I was hospitalized for a month.
34:04I cried day and night.
34:09However, only three months after she was diagnosed,
34:15her beloved mother passed away.
34:19She was so young.
34:21It was too soon.
34:24I couldn't do anything while watching my mother's pain.
34:28I felt so sorry for her.
34:50I wanted to do more for her.
34:58But I couldn't.
35:03She couldn't do anything for her mother.
35:08As a nurse,
35:10and as a daughter,
35:12she couldn't do anything for her mother.
35:15However,
35:16why did she have to go to Benin, Africa,
35:19where there was no connection between her mother and her mother?
35:25I always have this with me.
35:31It's a child's napkin.
35:36I have a picture of my mother in the napkin.
35:44In the napkin,
35:46there is a memory that her mother left for her daughter.
35:51Even though she was a woman,
35:54she did her best to do what she wanted to do.
36:01If you get over your loneliness,
36:04there should be a lot of fun waiting for you.
36:10After her mother's death,
36:12when she read the letter,
36:14she suddenly remembered something.
36:18She suddenly came back to her senses.
36:21Speaking of which,
36:23my dream was to become a nurse in Africa.
36:28When I was in junior high school,
36:31I saw a TV program
36:33about Japanese nurses
36:36going to Africa as volunteers.
36:39It was like a close-up interview.
36:43When I saw the number of people dying every day,
36:49I thought that if more people came to help,
36:55there would be more lives saved.
36:59When I heard that,
37:01I was very shocked.
37:05How did Yoko become a nurse?
37:10She is a Japanese nurse
37:12working in Africa on TV.
37:19I realized that there is a limit to life.
37:25If you don't do what you want to do,
37:29you won't know if you are alive or not.
37:34You can't predict the future.
37:37What she has always wanted to do since junior high school
37:42is to become a nurse in Africa
37:45and save people's lives.
37:48She must not give up on this dream.
37:53After her mother's letter,
37:55Yoko made a decision.
37:59When she was 35,
38:01she went to Africa as a youth overseas volunteer.
38:07The country she was assigned to
38:10was the Republic of Benin.
38:14Wow.
38:16I see.
38:19Yoko now lives in a nursing home in the countryside.
38:25She is not a nurse,
38:27but a member of the vaccine department to prevent infections.
38:33Then, she found out about Benin's severe situation.
38:40Benin has a lot of malaria.
38:43You all know that malaria is caused by leprosy, right?
38:48Yes.
38:49Everyone knows how to prevent it,
38:52but why does it become so serious?
38:56Malaria is the leading cause of Benin's death.
39:01Benin is suffering from the disease
39:04that affects about half of the patients
39:07who come from medical institutions
39:10and those who are hospitalized.
39:14But if you know that you won't get infected
39:17if you don't get stung by a mosquito,
39:20there should be a way to prevent it.
39:23There should be a way to prevent it,
39:25but why can't we prevent it?
39:27If you don't go to the actual village,
39:30you have to see where they live.
39:34I don't know why,
39:36but there are 56 villages in Dobo City.
39:43I said I would go to all 56 villages
39:48because I wanted to take a survey.
39:51Survey?
39:53That's amazing.
39:57She wants to save as many lives as possible.
40:00So she goes to all 56 villages
40:03to do a survey on malaria.
40:09But there is a problem.
40:13Most people don't know French in this area.
40:17They speak Asian.
40:19They speak Asian as a native language,
40:22so they can speak it fluently.
40:25But they don't understand it at all.
40:28Asian language?
40:30I don't know.
40:34At that time, Yoko was studying French,
40:37a native language.
40:40She didn't understand the local language at all.
40:46If she didn't understand the language,
40:49it wouldn't make sense to visit the village.
40:53Before the life she wanted to save,
40:56she remembered her mother.
41:03Will she be able to do anything again?
41:10But at that time,
41:12the person who gave her a helping hand
41:17was her husband, Mr. Bona.
41:24So that's how they met.
41:28We were taking a walk.
41:31Then we passed by the atelier where Mr. Bona works.
41:38He was sitting alone,
41:40so I said hello to him.
41:44That's how we started talking.
41:49At that time, Mr. Bona was working at a photo studio
41:53near the atelier where Yoko works.
41:58Mr. Bona was the only one who understood
42:01my poor French from the beginning.
42:04I was able to communicate with Mr. Bona.
42:07That's huge.
42:10So I asked Mr. Bona to translate for me.
42:16He said he would help me with the translation.
42:24Mr. Bona was kind enough to answer
42:27a Japanese person's sudden request.
42:32When Yoko first came,
42:34I thought it would be difficult for her.
42:37I thought it would be better to help her.
42:41Mr. Bona usually takes care of foreign travelers.
42:45When he finds someone in trouble,
42:48he can't leave them alone.
42:53With the support of Mr. Bona,
42:56we started the 56 village tours
42:59to find out the cause of malaria.
43:04It's not asphalt,
43:06but a bumpy road that's not paved.
43:13It's 30 kilometers away.
43:19While Mr. Bona was translating,
43:22we went around the 56 villages
43:25and listened to each person's story.
43:29Then, our efforts paid off.
43:32We found out the biggest reason
43:35for malaria in this area.
43:39It's been a few years.
43:43It's been a few years.
43:46It's been a few years.
44:06Mr. Miyori Takimoto is a singer and actor.
44:11He often makes mistakes during live performances.
44:16I hold the microphone upside down.
44:19I had a bottle of my own merchandise.
44:23I was talking to the microphone
44:26and explaining what it was.
44:29I thought it was a bottle,
44:31so I was talking to the microphone.
44:33You were introducing the microphone?
44:36It was upside down.
44:38You don't have one?
44:40I don't.
44:41It's hard to make a mistake
44:43when the microphone is upside down.
44:46Benan Republic,
44:48about 13,500 kilometers away from Japan.
44:53I'm the second wife of Mr. Ipputa.
45:00This is Mr. Yoko Eke,
45:02the second wife of Mr. Ipputa.
45:05Mr. Yoko Eke is 46 years old.
45:10At the age of 35,
45:13to find the cause of malaria,
45:15which is a life-threatening disease,
45:19he went around 56 villages
45:22with his late husband,
45:24Mr. Bona, who was a translator at the time.
45:30And finally,
45:32he found out the cause of malaria in this area.
45:37The tires were worn out,
45:39so we used them.
45:41But we didn't have money,
45:42so we couldn't buy them.
45:43So we had to race.
45:44The government gives us a few years' salary,
45:48but it's only when we get paid
45:51that we can afford to buy them.
45:54A few years' salary?
45:56That's a lot of money.
46:00As he looked around the village,
46:02he began to understand the situation in Vietnam.
46:06The root cause of malaria
46:09is poverty.
46:12And through this activity,
46:15he learned one more thing.
46:20There are people who are kind at first.
46:23So at first,
46:24I thought it was just out of curiosity.
46:28But then,
46:29they wanted to help me,
46:32to support me.
46:34They said,
46:35they would help me
46:37so that I could live well here.
46:40That's how they were.
46:47As he wandered around the village,
46:49he was drawn to the topic.
46:55But
46:56there was a big problem between them.
47:00I had a wife and two kids.
47:04I had a wife and two kids.
47:07So I asked them,
47:09what was the problem?
47:11I didn't know what was wrong.
47:17The culture is so different.
47:21In Japan,
47:23it's not allowed.
47:25Can you explain that?
47:26Yes, I can.
47:27I said,
47:28I had a wife and two kids,
47:30and I was going to hurt their family.
47:35I said that,
47:37but my wife and kids
47:39had no problem at all.
47:43I didn't know what was wrong.
47:45I didn't know why.
47:48Then why?
47:50Ms. Yoko couldn't understand
47:53what was going on at all,
47:55but she accepted her marriage
47:57as a second wife.
47:59There was a surprising reason
48:01behind that.
48:04But if I came here,
48:07it was obvious.
48:14Hayato Komori from GENERATIONS.
48:17Before his debut,
48:19he appeared in EXILE's music video.
48:21It was unexpected.
48:24Before my debut,
48:26I appeared in EXILE's music video
48:28for their song, Rising Sun.
48:31At the end,
48:33we all danced together,
48:35so I memorized the choreography.
48:37I also appeared in my senior's music video.
48:39I was so excited.
48:41But on that day,
48:43I didn't want to dance,
48:45so everyone told me to make a flag
48:47and wave it at the end.
48:49Suddenly, everyone gave me a big flag.
48:52I didn't know how to handle that flag,
48:55so we all tried hard.
48:57We waved the flag in the music video,
48:59but we couldn't go back.
49:03I wanted to shoot a scene
49:05where we run towards the sun,
49:07so everyone in GENERATIONS
49:09told me to go to Mt. Fuji
49:11and run.
49:13I didn't know where I was,
49:15so I held the flag,
49:17made a loud voice,
49:19and ran.
49:21We practiced a lot
49:23in the studio,
49:25but we couldn't dance
49:27even one count.
49:31Ms. Eke Yoko,
49:3346 years old,
49:35was born in Benang,
49:37West Africa.
49:39I'm the second wife
49:41of Ms. Eke Yoko.
49:43In Japan,
49:45it's not allowed.
49:47I'll explain.
49:49I didn't understand why
49:51it wasn't allowed.
49:53Why did Ms. Eke Yoko
49:55accept marriage
49:57as the second wife
49:59when she didn't understand
50:01the meaning of it at all?
50:03I was born and raised in Japan.
50:05In Japan,
50:07I thought
50:09common sense
50:11was a given.
50:13But when I came here,
50:15the customs
50:17and culture
50:19were different.
50:21Common sense
50:23was a given.
50:25That was common sense.
50:27So I thought
50:29I didn't have to
50:31stick to it.
50:33So I accepted it
50:35little by little.
50:37I'm glad
50:39you got used to it.
50:41I'm sure
50:43there are many people
50:45who don't get used to it.
50:47Were you
50:49a father in Japan?
50:51I was very angry.
50:53I was like,
50:55what?
50:57You have a wife?
50:59You have a child?
51:01I was very angry.
51:03But we decided
51:05to get married
51:07in Japan.
51:09Bona came
51:11and said she would marry me.
51:13At that point,
51:15I had to give up.
51:17I had to give up.
51:19It must have been a big deal
51:21to meet Ms. Bona.
51:23Ms. Yoko
51:25is pregnant.
51:27In the end,
51:29they got married
51:31in 2015.
51:33They are blessed with
51:35two children.
51:37Her husband,
51:39Mr. Bona,
51:41works at a farm
51:43in Vietnam
51:45to raise
51:47Japanese antelopes.
51:49On the other hand,
51:51Ms. Yoko
51:53is a translator
51:55for her husband
51:57Mr. Bona.
51:59On this day,
52:01she came to an elementary school
52:03in a village.
52:05Hello.
52:07Hello.
52:09Hello.
52:11Hello.
52:13Hello.
52:15Hello.
52:17There were
52:19local women.
52:21Then
52:23she started
52:25making brown things.
52:27She is making something brown,
52:29but...
52:31Actually,
52:33Ms. Yoko
52:35is trying to save
52:37many poor people
52:39with this round object
52:41like ice cream.
52:43What are you doing?
52:45Wow.
52:47That's amazing.
52:49I'm sorry.
53:19I'm sorry.
53:21I'm sorry.
53:23I'm sorry.
53:25I'm sorry.
53:27I'm sorry.
53:29I'm sorry.
53:31I'm sorry.
53:33I'm sorry.
53:35I'm sorry.
53:37I'm sorry.
53:39I'm sorry.
53:41I'm sorry.
53:43I'm sorry.
53:45I'm sorry.
53:47I hope many people
53:49can see this.
53:55Ms. Yoko
53:57came to Benan Republic
53:59in West Africa.
54:01On this day,
54:03she came to
54:05an elementary school in a village.
54:07Ms. Yoko
54:09started mixing
54:11mysterious liquid.
54:13She started making
54:15something brown.
54:17What are you doing?
54:19I'm making soap.
54:21When I first
54:23took the questionnaire,
54:25I got a lot of questions
54:27about what I wanted to do.
54:29Among them,
54:31making soap was
54:33at the top.
54:35This soap sells well,
54:37so if it goes well
54:39and I can make a lot,
54:41I can start a big business.
54:43I mentioned this earlier.
54:47Ms. Yoko
54:49finished her career
54:51as a member of
54:53the Youth Overseas Cooperation Team.
54:55In Benan,
54:57she established an NGO
54:59with Mr. Bona.
55:03She teaches
55:05poor people
55:07how to make money.
55:11If they can earn
55:13a stable income,
55:15they can go to school.
55:19In addition,
55:21if they can buy
55:23a new house,
55:25they can reduce
55:27the number of people
55:29who lose their lives
55:31in malaria.
55:33It's a wonderful life.
55:35My husband died early
55:37and I raised him alone.
55:39I'm so poor that I can't
55:41send my kids to school.
55:43But I want to sell this soap
55:45and earn money
55:47to do my best.
55:49Thank you so much
55:51for taking the first step.
55:55Are you happy now?
55:59I think
56:01I'm happy.
56:05What I want to do
56:07is what I've been doing
56:09for a long time.
56:11I don't regret anything.
