AISubs v3.7
June 11th, 2011.
A track and field stadium in Tokyo.
A man is crying.
His wife is also crying.
The child is also crying.
What is the reason for these tears?
A month ago, AKB48 Sayaka Akimoto visited a man.
Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Sayaka Akimoto.
I'm Ebihara. Nice to meet you.
Ebihara Katsushi, 42 years old.
He married his wife when he was 26 years old.
He has been blessed with children and has built a happy family.
However, Ebihara Katsushi was struck by something that would change his life.
About five and a half years ago, I had a disease called ganglion, which is a disease in which water accumulates in the legs.
If you remove the bag inside, you can work right away because the water accumulates and the pain disappears.
So I had a surgery.
And the next day, my legs were full and my legs were swollen about three times.
It's a leg I've never seen before, a human leg I've never seen before.
It's been a month since it was said to be cured, but it's still the same.
Thank you for watching!
The left leg was operated for treatment purposes, but due to a mistake in the will, the nerve was cut off.
As a result of that, even if you touch it a little, you will feel a burning pain and will suffer from a disability called khausulgy.
Sometimes I had to walk normally, and sometimes I had to use a cane.
The job of a driver who had been working for AKB48 could not be stopped.
I only got a little medical fees, and my life depended on my wife's income, which was not enough.
Since I couldn't do what I used to do, and I didn't like the eyes around me,
I started to hate it more and more, and I didn't go out for a long time, and I felt like I was trapped.
When that happens, it seems that my feelings are also trapped, and when I hit something a little, or when a child runs around, the wind blows and it hurts just to wake up.
I don't know how to say it.
Ms. Ebihara is always in pain because of others.
Looking back at the situation at the time, the children...
My legs hurt and I'm sick.
I didn't do anything, but I'm getting angry for every little thing.
I've been hitting people and it's been annoying.
Ms. Ebihara, who has always been by his side...
I didn't like being at home.
I was also a little angry at the time. I couldn't do anything.
I heard that my illness wouldn't heal.
I couldn't stand it anymore.
To be honest, it was too heavy for me.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
That's right. That's how it was.
His family didn't talk to him anymore.
He cursed his fate and locked himself up every day.
Those dark days lasted for five and a half years.
But it couldn't go on like this.
Ms. Ebihara made a decision because of one incident.
The Tokyo Marathon.
When I saw it, I got a lot of courage.
At the end of it, I heard a lot of things.
When I saw that, I wanted to do it, too. I wanted to be able to run.
If I can do it, I'd like to run a marathon like that.
To be honest, I don't know how far I can run yet, but I haven't run for five and a half years.
But I think there's something I can overcome by doing something I don't think I can do now.
When I saw Akimoto-san like that, it gave me a lot of courage.
I really want to do it because you came today. I hope I can do it.
Thank you very much.
The Tokyo Marathon was held in February 2011.
Akimoto was running hard there.
At the time, she was worried about becoming a team captain.
She said she felt a lot of things while running.
It may have different meanings, but I wanted to be a new me.
I challenged myself because I wanted to meet someone.
I think I was running for myself.
But I'm happy that so many people saw me and encouraged me.
Basically, I don't have confidence in myself.
I think I can give people courage.
I want to change myself.
I have a strong will now.
It's someone else's fault that I became like this.
But at this rate, I'll destroy the future of my family.
Let's overcome the pain and run with these legs.
She will start training to challenge the 10km marathon competition in August.
Her legs, which she hasn't moved for a long time, have lost their muscles.
In addition, she has a severe pain that she can't help but attack.
Don't overdo it.
Yes.
The first step is a little scary.
It hurts when you step in.
That's right.
You haven't run yet, have you?
Looking at Ebihara, who is far from running, Akimoto has this advice.
It hurts when you look down, so it's important to look straight ahead without looking down.
It's like you're talking about life.
I've been thinking about it for a little over a month since I started running marathons.
I thought it wouldn't change my life.
One step at a time, looking forward without looking down.
When I was running the Tokyo Marathon, I was told to laugh only when I was in pain.
Everyone had a piece of paper and said, "Laugh only when you're in pain."
Then I feel like I can run.
When I have a sad face, it gets darker and darker.
Ebihara says this about running with these feet.
It's like a tingling, numbing pain.
Not only that, but also electric pain.
There are many kinds of pain.
Even with a little movement, pain comes out.
When you run, you lift your feet up and put them on the ground and put all your weight on them.
If you repeat it over and over again, your nervous system will be stimulated and you will have very strong pain.
I'm a little surprised. It's a great challenge.
Even doctors who have seen many patients say that there is no precedent for such a harsh challenge.
That's how I opened the curtain.
You took a step forward today.
That's right.
I want to cherish this step.
You said you want to change yourself, but you don't want to shake your feelings so much.
Is it about your family?
It's a big factor for me.
Especially for my wife.
As I said in the interview, I think those days were so painful that I shed tears.
But she still supports me even though she says she can't support me enough.
In order to repay her, I want to show her that I've taken another step forward.
I want to show her that I've done my best, too.
I want to show her that there's nothing you can't overcome when you're having a hard time.
We're not rivals, but we're colleagues.
I hope we can work hard for each other's goals.
I hope we can work hard together.
Thank you.
Actually, at this time, Hikimoto, who was holding the biggest concert in the history of AKB48,
and Hikimoto, who was holding the biggest concert in the history of AKB48, were in different positions, but they swore to each other that they would do their best for this month.
On the contrary, I think I was encouraged.
I think I hurt my leg because of a medical error.
It started with me saying "I can't move anymore" but in the end I said "bye bye" with a warm heart and it ended.
I wonder why I feel so warm now.
As Ebihara-san knows, it's not your responsibility but you have to live on so you have to accept it and get over it.
It's you who have to move forward.
In the end, even if people push you back like this, you have to move forward if you don't want to change.
Ebihara-san has been going through this for 5 and a half years.
I thought I had to work hard every day so I wouldn't be embarrassed.
And a month later, Ebihara continued to fight pain for the marathon competition.
He's training his little finger.
Especially on rainy days, the pain is said to be intense.
It may be a little pain.
It's okay.
Not being able to bear the pain and giving up on running.
Anxiety and irritation about not being able to train to satisfaction.
A week after the competition, AKB's weakness has increased.
Well, if you think about it calmly, it's a matter of course.
I run with legs that shouldn't be able to run.
I think it's natural for this to happen.
Meanwhile, since then...
Akimoto was in the middle of a concert where he swore to Ebihara that he would burn out completely.
Even in the midst of trying to burn out completely, he said that he was worried about Ebihara.
Thank you for your hard work!
In the meantime, I asked Akimoto to watch Ebihara's training.
It's completely different!
It's faster than the last time I saw it.
It's amazing!
But is it okay for you to feel pain?
How did Ms. Ebihara, who endures pain and works hard, look like in the fall?
That's why humans can move this far.
I think the will is very hard.
But I think Yubihara-san feels it because many people support her.
I think Yubihara-san doesn't think it's painful, but it's painful.
"Oh, I could do it up to here today." "I couldn't do it up to here."
I think it's a conflict.
I also thought about doing my best.
I was happy.
And she sent Yubihara-san a message like this.
Once again, I learned that if you have human greatness and feelings, you can see the possibility of something.
If you don't have a positive attitude like "it's okay," I'm sure you'll go in a good direction.
I hope so, too.
A week later, we'll have a competition together.
Yubihara-san, who was able to express her feelings with a smile.
I'd be happy if we could share the same time.
I'll do my best, too.
Good luck today!
Even when my legs hurt, I'm probably doing my best without thinking it hurts or hurts.
I'm sorry for the comments like that.
I have to spend this week properly.
A promise made with Akimoto. He can't give up here.
He also has a thought for his children.
When I'm interested in baseball and I want to do it, I always ask Shiro to do it for me.
Sometimes I think it's normal for a father to be involved in it.
I want to run 10 kilometers and pay back to each family for everything they have done for me.
And when they go home...
"Dai" is "shokkan" in Japanese.
Her heartless, but much brighter family figure.
Five and a half years ago, her husband, who had sunk into despair and suffered, said...
To be honest with you, I had no choice but to watch.
I thought it would be nice for her to feel positive.
I think she knows it because she wants to clear up something in herself.
She doesn't want her family to feel painful again.
And Ebihara-san, who is four years old and waiting for her father to play with her, makes up her mind again.
The training continued even more.
The day when the tournament was postponed to two days later.
He was able to run the highest six kilometers in the past.
It seems that Mr. Ebihara has grasped a certain answer to how much pain has disappeared in the past.
The day of the competition. Unfortunately, it is raining today.
In order to regain the five and a half years lost, and in order to cut through the future with their own strength, Ebihara's 10km marathon will begin soon.
And then, 30 minutes before the start, Akimoto came to Ebihara-san for a warm-up.
It's been a month since they last met.
I'm so frustrated!
Unfortunately, it's raining today.
How are you feeling?
I'm worried about your legs.
But I don't think it's going to change if you run all the time.
Because your legs are hard.
I've been working out for a month.
I don't know if you feel the same way.
I'm sure you'll be able to run today.
Good luck!
Isn't it like this?
Ebihara's expression softened a little as she reunited with Akimoto.
She goes back to the gym.
My expression has changed like a different person.
I think what I've been doing little by little has changed me.
I think it's going to change even more after I finish running.
Ebihara is at the starting point. From here, the lonely race begins.
While Kimoto and his family are watching over him, the 10km marathon has begun.
The course absorbs 1.1km of circumference.
Ebihara is running at a high pace in the beginning of the race.
We can't know what pain is like from his facial expression.
I'm tired.
I was hitting my feet.
I didn't say it, but it hurts.
I'm sure of it.
At first, he was jumping a lot.
Maybe it's because I didn't say it at first.
I hope he'll say it at a slow pace until the end.
Ebihara's feet are swollen.
It seems like a lot of pain is coming out.
AKIMOTO, who has been watching his appearance, has made such a proposal.
Can I run for two laps?
AKIMOTO, who said he wanted to run with Ebihara for the last two laps, supports his father who works hard for himself and for his family with all his might.
You can really feel the greatness of human beings, can't you?
Two kilograms left.
After running 10 kilometers, I wonder what's ahead of me.
For what and for whom is that step ahead of me?
But it should never be a bad step.
Nice, it's open.
I'm glad.
I think I'll be released from prison soon.
I think so, too.
You may have been released for a while.
You can do anything now.
Even Satan.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you.
It's hard.
I used to give up, but now I can do it.
I'm sure there are things you can't think of like you did today, and it leads to confidence.
But you can't do it alone.
Even if you look at your family, you must be worried.
I'm sure you're embarrassed because you're family.
Look ahead with gratitude for those around you.
I couldn't do anything at all, but I was very happy to meet Ebihara's family and feel warm.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Ebihara cut open her own future and her family's future with her own strength.
It is no doubt that the month she walked with Akimoto to overcome her five and a half years of suffering became an invaluable asset.
Did you get a flower?
I got a flower, too.
I don't think it's because of this job, but as a person, I'm sure it's someone's strength and someone's support.
Even if it's a little, even if it's one person, I'd be happy if it could be a force for me to believe in.
