AISubs v3.5
"How are you, baby?" They say in front of the aquarium. We are like a family.
Colorful fish swimming in cool water.
This stage is a huge tropical fish market in Kushi, Japan.
There are more than 400 kinds of fish.
Look! Look! Look! Look! They are coming this way!
There is a big shrimp up there.
It's cute.
"They are talking to each other." "Oh, really?"
It's a kids' talk, isn't it?
Now that they have more time at home, they love small fish.
For three days, they asked how they feel.
Bedtown
Bedtown is 40 minutes' drive from the city center.
There is a large tropical fish market on one side of Bedtown.
Filming began late Friday, early June.
There are many aquariums inside.
It's like a aquarium.
It seems like you will forget how much time has passed.
Oh, customers.
You are holding something in your hand.
Excuse me, I'm from NHK. What were you looking at?
Well, I was looking at you. Your fin is beautiful and your face...
My face?
No, your face! Your eyes are round and big and cute.
This one is 1080.
Yes, 1080.
It's a deep poison.
A fin that is beautiful is called "beta".
Not only does it change color, but it also allows you to choose which eyes and face you want.
All you have to do is prepare the aquarium and welcome Beta.
Here, men are talking.
What are you doing now?
Aloha-na-nii. Hana-no-nii. Nikki-no-nii.
This is like a regular shop.
I used to work here.
Has it been here for a long time?
No, it hasn't started yet.
I come here every day. When I go out, I can see my house.
So I come here to play.
The house is in this neighborhood. They are in their 80s.
The tropical fish history is several decades old.
What are you buying?
Aloha-na-nii.
Aloha-na-nii?
Yes.
This one.
Wow!
It says it's 248,000 yen.
One of them is cheaper than this one.
Yes.
How much is it?
One of them has this.
I want more and more of good stuff.
So now we have one, two, three, four, five, six new ones.
"Six new ones?" "Yes."
Young people can go anywhere.
But when you get older, you can't go anywhere.
Try looking at it like this. It's good stuff.
A date with two people looking at fish
Hello.
What are you looking at?
It's a retro theme.
"Is it carcinogenic?" "Yes."
There are also small fish.
Who are you looking at?
"My daughter." "Your daughter?" "Yes."
"I thought you were a couple." "No, my daughter."
A father who has invited his daughter.
He seems to be healing his tiredness with tropical fish.
"Is there anything you're interested in?" "Yes, there is."
Is it silver?
The color of fluorescent light changes.
But if you use blue fluorescent light, it looks blue.
He seems to know a lot about fish.
There is an anus in the middle of the stomach.
Males and females have different shapes and sizes.
"Which one is which?" "Males."
On the other hand, his daughter...
It's a fate.
Generally, girls don't follow guys.
Oh, there he is.
My dad always comes this much.
More than usual?
Yes.
Thank you.
Dad's hobbies are moderate.
With Medaka, it's easier for me to talk to my family.
We have common topics now.
"You don't look well today." or "You don't eat much today."
Medaka is "shou-chan" in kanji, so we call her "shou-chan".
Due to COVID-19, we don't see each other as much and we don't have many festivals.
It's a little sad, but...
It's past five in the evening.
As soon as they enter the store, they don't look around and head somewhere.
It looks like he asked for something...
What did you buy?
This is a feed dojo.
It seems that dojo has a high nutritional value.
It's a tropical fish, a big tropical fish.
It's not the type of fish I'm buying, but...
Arowana.
I also buy things like this.
What is this?
It's a sea fish, a high-breathing fish.
A man who buys eight large fish.
It seems that he fell in love with it a long time ago.
I've been interested in it since I was about 19 or 20 years old.
It's a hobby that costs a lot of money.
My part-time job fee just flows like this.
You go to the dojo and make people eat.
I eat a piece of bread and...
What were you so addicted to at the time?
It was itching and I wondered if it would be okay as it is.
It's greed, isn't it?
Isn't it healing?
It's not healing.
It starts with "cool".
I'm buying it.
I think it will satisfy my desire to raise it.
It's a big fish.
When I was a professional school student who couldn't find what I wanted to do, I suddenly got hooked.
But I couldn't continue for a long time and quit in a few years. It seems that I haven't bought it for 15 years.
I like it and I'm sleeping all the time, so I remembered that I was late in my income life enough to buy it.
When work and home settled down, the desire overflowed unexpectedly.
I'm posting it on youtube.
Gourmet channel.
I bought a new fish.
It grows up really fast.
I got in safely, but it was an unexpected development.
It doesn't grow.
It's about 600 people.
Thank you.
Once you're hooked, it's a deep world.
6:30 in the evening.
A woman stands in front of the aquarium.
What do you want me to buy and show you?
It's a moon betta.
It's so beautiful.
It's soft and its fin looks like half of the moon.
It's one of those bettas.
I was going to buy another fish yesterday, but it's too cute, so I'll think about it at home for now.
If I fall in love at first sight, I think I'll regret it if I don't buy it later.
She was worried all night and decided on this betta.
It seems that there was an incident six months ago.
Is it the same shape of betta?
There was a time when I got this beautiful fin called "ogthalae disease" and it got ruined.
So I was a little confused.
When I take my hands off, I often get sick.
For example, I'm tired from work today, so I'm thinking about cleaning the betta and going to bed tomorrow.
When I realize it, I take my hands off.
She lives alone and has been regretting it since she lost her betta.
I've taken some time to look back on it, so I'm going to take my time and make the most of my previous mistakes and live a long life.
I'm still worried. I think I'm worried all the time.
I'm sorry. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
She slowly pushed the betta on her bicycle back home.
At 8.30 p.m., it closed. The day came to an end.
The second day of filming.
An hour before the store reopened.
If there's moss or something, you clean it up in the morning and go back to the store.
The life of a small fish can last for years.
It can run out before it's sold.
Of course I feel sad.
I wasn't born to die.
I've never forgotten that feeling.
11 o'clock. Shopping.
There's a man going up to the second floor.
Is he buying fish?
Excuse me, what would you like to buy today?
I'd like a water tank for frogs.
Frogs?
Yes.
I'm short of money now, so I'd like to buy a big water tank.
How much is it?
It's called "tsunogairu" and you can buy it here, too.
Oh, really?
Yes.
The man started buying "tsunogairu" two months ago.
I was sitting at home and I felt lonely on the desk, so I decided to buy something on the desk.
"Momi-chan".
"Momi-chan"?
It was a color like "momiji".
It looks like this.
It's very active when it comes to food.
It even eats fresh water.
The moment I showed it to it, it ate it.
It looks happy when it's eating food.
The man is happy with "momi-chan" every day.
He seems to be busy working as a programmer.
I can't make mistakes in my work.
I'm still very focused on my work.
I've had insomnia for about three or four years now.
I can't sleep when I think about work all the time.
After meeting Momi, Momi's condition seems to be changing little by little.
Momi looks at me before I go to bed.
Then I feel calm.
Do you call her and talk to her?
How are you?
She doesn't react at all.
But I'm a little sad about it.
She got off the car and tried to bite me.
She's very helpful.
On the contrary, I feel like I'm being helped.
When I'm with my kids, I feel like I'm being healed.
They talk to me.
Oh, really?
It's like a child's mouth.
Ask me!
Yes, it's positive.
Because they don't deny me.
I'm happy.
I want to increase it and heal more.
How is it?
It's hard.
It's hard, isn't it?
Oh, no!
Oh, no! I got ripped off!
You got a big one.
You got a really big one.
Do you want me to peel it for you?
I want to eat it.
Can you eat it?
Wait a minute.
But I'm scared of my mom the most.
I know you don't want to buy fish, but...
I talked to her and she said no.
To your wife?
Yes.
She forced me to do it.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you. Bye-bye.
Thank you very much.
In the evening, there is a woman staring at the aquarium.
Fishes are coming and going with their fingers.
When you do that, they come to you, don't they?
Yes, they do.
This kind of fish has a chubby body.
Wow!
So I'm going to increase my number of friends.
Today, I'm going to catch red sea bream and tropical fish.
I started living alone in Tokyo.
Even if I want to buy a pet, my work is irregular.
What do you do?
I'm a nurse.
I moved from Hokkaido a year ago and am a nurse working in a hospital.
It seems that it was difficult to get used to work in this situation.
There were irregular hours and times when it was difficult to get in touch with people.
I was able to get a dream job, but my work alone is enough for me.
When I get home, I feel like I'm really tired.
I think it would be nice if I could get help from these people.
She started buying tropical fish two years ago.
While taking care of them, she noticed something.
What is it?
This is a tropical fish.
It's a tropical fish.
The moment I thought of buying fish, I wondered if I had a little room in my heart.
I started to have a little room in my heart so that I could catch fish.
Like this.
Now, tropical fish hobbyists are increasing through social media.
It's not only about work, but also about getting people to get along with each other, and I think you can connect with both people and fish because of this little fish.
A little fish supports people who work.
The third day of shooting, Sunday.
While her family is standing out, she meets a man.
What do you see?
Well, I just like it, simply.
Well, in the aquarium, various creatures are born and one world is created.
It's fun to observe it.
We have about fifteen of them.
Fifteen?
Yes, so it's very early in the morning.
It's up at 5 o'clock.
She lives alone and it's all about fish.
But five years before she started fishing, it was all about work.
I work in mechanical fishing.
Well, when I'm working and I'm about to come up with an idea,
I tend to be aggressive.
When I'm angry and scared, I often do it.
I don't get irritated anymore.
My feelings for fish have decreased a lot.
I deal with creatures every day,
but when it comes to fish,
their behavior and facial expressions,
even if it's not love,
if you don't take good care of them,
they will die.
I feel that doing it properly
can lead to that.
Thank you for your time.
I don't really listen to good stories.
The man left with a gentle smile.
It's past noon. A family with customers.
Hello.
Huh? The boy who came with his father yesterday.
Today, it seems like the whole family is here.
"Hello." "Hello."
Your mother wasn't really into riding.
That's not true. I really like it,
but if you buy it too casually,
it makes me feel bad for the animals and sad for the family.
The mother who opposed it because she liked animals.
It seems like she has her reasons.
My family was in an animal hospital,
so my father was a veterinarian,
and we've lived with animals for a long time,
but we've seen a lot of injuries,
and people coming to the hospital with their eyes covered,
and seeing a lot of men,
it's not like animals are toys right away,
isn't it?
But it seems like the kids can't help but enjoy the fish they've just started buying.
Good morning.
Do you have any friends?
Let's make it 100.
No.
Let's make it 50.
Isn't it enough if we have a lot of kids?
What if we have 100 kids in the house?
I don't care.
Would you be happy about that?
No.
There's absolutely no time for you to be alone.
That's because...
We have 100 kids.
No way, no way, no way.
I can do it alone.
Even if you don't eat anything, this is for 100 people.
No, I can do it alone.
That's right.
The love for life...
Grows little by little.
The clothes you brought home...
We have to take good care of them.
Look, look!
Look at this, it's cute!
It's all babies.
It's so cute!
It's albino, and it doesn't have sperm.
Why do you know that?
Do you like animals?
The more you know about your pet, the more you want to raise it.
I've heard that it's really good when it's taken in the water.
The big ostrich in the classroom...
I want it to fall down.
Ostriches are pretty rare.
The classroom...
I feel like I'm going to buy it.
It doesn't look good, but it's kind of cute.
I'm a little perverted.
There are people who come out to eat right next to us.
I can't get enough of that.
Good morning.
I want to ask you if you're doing well.
Wait for me. I'll feed you now.
I'll feed you now.
