after 90 years, Hachiko Finally got to meet his owner again.
you just made my day
Senpai... I hope you notice me :3
in heaven
Sabrina cried a lot
Shup up, I'm crying now.
I can't stop my emotion from the loyalty of the dog. He loves his master unconditionally.
I cried throuout the movie they had for him so sad
Το καλύτερο σκυλί του κόσμου! Αλλά και ο ιδιοκτήτης!!!🌹🌹
I love the Japanese people for honoring the undying love Hachi had for his master. The American movie version of this story with Richard Gere is how I came to know about Hachi. Extremely touching and beautiful film.
its not an american movie :)
THE BEER VIKING She’s talking about the film: Hachi a dog’s tale. That’s the American film version of this true beautiful and sad story 😖💕
That film DESTROYED me, man. I can't even listen to that song in my head without bawling.
The original japanese movie is so nice than English one. It portrays more things and relationship between hachi and his master. It has depicted all day to day activities of both of them :) both movies are awesome though
Ow.. thank you mam.
this dog lived with a broken heart for ten years 😔😓
He loves his master Soo much oh God I'm crying again 🥺
In dog years its 70 years...
Sorry for the tears
@@tetsudikawakami3071If family just let Hachiko to see his friend for the very last time, he would understand.
@@sengo2143 as I was watching the film I was hoping he would be next to his owners casket to say a final goodbye
@@sengo2143agree
Had the privilege of sharing my life for 14 years with one, devoted friend, still missing him after 15 years of his departure....Rocky.
16 years now has ur life been after?
My dog's name is Rocky too he's 4. I'll love him all my and his life
R.I.P Rocky
Om Shanti Rocky Bro 🙏🙏♥️♥️🛐🛐Hare Krishna 🙏🙏♥️♥️
One thing to learn from the Japanese is that they value every thing . They made a staue of Hachi and his owner to symbolize the immense and immortal love between the dog and his owner. The world has really learned some great things from Japan. It is
also one of the great nations in the world who never give up against tsunamis and earthquakes , they fight back and restore their loses.
Japan we love u
👍👍👍👍👍
God's BLESSINGS 😇
It's hachiko not hachi
@@jofee6812 remember Koreans received great befit from Japan during the annexation era. the population of Koreans increased from 13,750,000 in 1910 to more than 27,275,000 in 1945, because living condition of Koreans was improved dramatically by Japanese money.
@@serendipitous2290 I'm Japanese, Hachi and Hachikou are the same. "Kou" is a suffix added to a name and is a colloquial expression that conveys familiarity. But it's an old expression. If you come to Japan, please don't use "Kou".
There is a bronze statue of Hachikou in Shibuya, Tokyo. There is a stuffed Hachikou at the National Museum of Nature and Science in Ueno, Tokyo.
For Japanese people, the story of Hachikou is special. I also heard the story of Hachikou when I was a child. Hachikou is still known to all Japanese people. Of course, it is also called "hachi". We Japanese will never forget the story of Hachikou.
Hachi you are with your master now in heaven so you can be with him always
I'm so happy that the professor and Hachi are together at last. Thank you for getting them together again.
And imagine the afterlife the two have now: no worries, stress free, but the two bestest friends going on walks, playing together and fondly enjoying each others company
I can't get enough of Hachi and Dr. Ueno. I have watched the Japanese film of Hachiko several times. I tear up every time!
Me too!
Hachiko finally gets the reunion he deserves!!! What a beautiful tribute. That statue brings tears to my eyes. I hope Professor Ueno and Hachiko are taking long walks together through heaven!
Ameen 🙏
Ameen🙏
This is a great idea for Dear Dog Hachiko and his owner,God Bless them. 💕
🙂💕🙂
Don't worry Hachi, All the pain you went through is totally worth it
Just seeing the statue made me cry
Hachi, an old story that will never die. Three years later, I still cried.
This story is priceless.
I know this totally unrelated but this is one of the major reasons I love adventure time, the love and bond between Fin the human and Jake the dog is so strong it encompasses lifetimes. The loyalty and friendship between man and dog is pure wholesome. I’ll await my dog in heaven or in the next lifetime when the time comes.
I'm an atheist, I dont believe in any sort of Afterlife, but part of me really hopes there is so that Hachiko could be reunited with Dr. Ueno..
Just because your atheist doesn't mean you can't believe in a after life
Everything has a happy ending but not in this world.
Omg same here 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hachiko may have gone on! An animal dies, but the carbon will not. It will return to the soil, & there a plant may take it up sending it once more on a cycle of plant & animal life.
I believe in God and I think that hatchi thriving in heaven with his owner. I do respect you're decision to be an atheist.
This sweet dog waited for his master almost 70 dog years.
How loyal is that dog !
He waited for his owner for ten years after his death. Legendary touching story
I am crying now ...
I just watched the movie made with Richard Gere twice within 24 hours, late last night, and this afternoon. Cried my eyes out both times. Even my BF teared up when I asked him to watch with me this afternoon. Such a beautiful story of love and loyalty.
I've given instructions that in the event I were to die before my dog, that she would be permitted to view my remains. That way, she would understand that I would not be coming home, and that I did not abandon her.
steven franklin
I told my children the same, is better if our pets see us for the last time, they are smart and will understand, I don't want my dog suffer waiting for me. I saw the movie with my 2 children and we cried a lot.
a beautiful story, but my heart broke thinking the pain this dog had, waiting for 9 years. his pain must be horrible day by day. really sad.
I agree with you Sir Steven. Hachi should have been allowed to view the remains of his master for him to not wait anymore for his master since there will be closure, once and for all. . . . I really pitied Hachi. . . . .
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭true
Beautiful, you are the most intelligent person on earth, beautiful. I’m crying reading this , my emotions, tears are non stop from last 4 years , when I watch this movie.
Your a great person
I cried this statue..
Hachiko is a faithful dog .I like him soooo much....!!!!!:'(
This story broke me down all over again. I've seen "Lassie," "Old Yeller," "Turner and Hooch," and "Where the Red Fern Grows," but "Hachi" was the only one that ever broke me down because it struck too close to home.
I waited on a porch for a dog to come home, a dog my mother needlessly had put down when I was at school and then lied and said he ran away. Then years later I was told what she told my brother. She told him he was given to a chicken farmer. I lost that dog twice.
Then after Mom died, Dad FINALLY told me the truth. She put him down as an out-of-court settlement because the dog chased a would-be vandal over a fence, and the kid hurt his shoulder in the fall. The dog NEVER touched the kid. He chased him out of the yard. When the parents threatened to sue, Mom had the dog destroyed.
I was going up and down the street and waiting on the porch. I was a human Hachi. One time the letter carrier saw me crying and was at a loss for words. Mom sat inside, talked on the phone, watched her soaps, did laundry, and ignored me.
Since Mom died, I can't bring myself to look at pictures, especially when I found out I lost the same dog THREE TIMES!
I live in the U.S. and have promised myself to go to the Rhode Island train station where the movie with Richard Gere was filmed one day and to my old house and wait for the mail one last time as a memorial to that dog.
I'm so sorry that you had to experience that. I hope that you have had others great dogs since.
Hachi is the symbol of friendship and loyalty
Bless you Hachi, Loyal friend and beautiful soul.
Having seen and cried through the American version of this story...I am pleased to see this tribute to this amazing dog.As a dog owner ( for some 60 years) I know the devotion felt by both the being a dog owner and the loving dogs in my life.
I'm so touched……And so happy Hachi and Dr. Ueno finally could meet again surpassing long years…
The story of late Hachi and his late owner is so heart-warming.
Wherever you are in Heaven, love you dearest Hachi.
Respect from India 🇮🇳
Finally reunited. This is touching and beautiful. So happy to see this given the proper closure. Love Hachiko💖
What a beautiful tribute. You can see the love this dog had for his master though his eyes. Just seeing the statue brought tears to my eyes
I watched the movie once and couldn’t stop crying … and seeing this statue, I can’t control my self again 🥹
Love you Hachi.....
Finally you got to meet your master.
henceforth, nothing will separate you from him.
Your love is unique on this planet.
H-hachi was the most loyal among all the dogs may god bless him...
Even the thought of Hachiko has me crying
A well deserved and fitting tribute to a dog so loyal. Makes you wonder if there's a lesson for all of us to learn here.
Dogs are so loyal!! It brings tears to my eyes!
Dogs love their owners with all their heart and soul and nothing else really matters to them except their owners!!
Hachiko was a brave boy! May their souls rest in peace and may they be together forever now!!
I love Hachiko and his story always touch my heart. Hachiko is my favorite dog in the world... I'm happy for Hachi and Professor Hidesaburo Ueno. They are finally together in heaven... 🏫🐶💝
It's sweet to think that Professor Ueno is somewhere once again with Hachiko.... surrounded by all immense love he has always had for him.
That is one gorgeous work of art. Every emotion captured.
I was looking for this comment. I think especially Hachi is done beautifully, you can see the love in him.
It reminds of my neighbors dog who was stay alone and he died recently 2 years back. Relatives left the dog like this in the yard. He always waiting for his owner in a hope. It took me 5 months to gain his trust and love now he is living with my family. He is a bodyguard of my 2 beautiful childrens. He don't left anyone touch them acting all time like a mom.
I read about this story in 5th grade i actually cried when hachiko died, but Dr. Ueno and Hachicko are together now ♡
I can´t stop crying, when I see this. It´s so lovely.
Such a faithfulness and love you will find in no one.
Hachiko and his master lived almost 100 years ago. But today I feel it still deeply under the skin and in the heart.
after saw the movie of Hachi's story i can't stop crying 😭 the pure love of Hachi's heart is so beautiful. He waited his master 10 years with broken heart and never tired, everyday, every train stopping he look for his master 💔
Hachi and his master are now together forever. This is a happy ending to their story that was cut short by professor's death. I wish the movie adaptations of Hachi's story could have shown scenes some people kind to him even before his popular days.
One Manga artist's grandfather (who died at the age of 104) peddled and sold Handmade bread when he was young, and proudly told his young grandchildren many times that he could make good bread, that he had met Hachi before he became famous, and that he had served bread to Hachi several times.
Whenever I come across the story of Hachico I can't hold my tears. Really this is the perfect statue of both. Their souls must meet.
I have seen this film thrice time & tear up every time.
I cried like a baby seeing this, it's so beautiful
well deserved 4 this amazing dog. which show us the amazing bond between owner n pet..
best dog and best owner to ever exist...
i cant even breath right now cuz im crying
I had the honour of seeing this statue a few months ago. Trust me guys, this video doesn't make justice to the amount of details the actual statue has. The eyes, the posture, the ways hands and paws connect, the "shine" Hachiko's eyes have, the paternal smile of Dr. Ueno, and so much more.
The statue at Shibuya station is well visited and highlighted, and it's beautiful. But if you visit Tokyo, I 101% suggest to take a little tour to the Faculty of Agriculture.
The statue makes me cry in just one stare
The most beautiful owner and animal love story ever. I can't help but get teary eyes whenever I remember about Hachiko 😭❤️
It will be beautiful if at the end of the movie there's a scene where Hachi was sleeping and woken by his master at a pure white world sand said "Let's go Hachi"
The newer movie (2005) with Richard Gere has an ending almost like that. It makes you cry, a whole lot. If there is a Heaven, I hope to meet Hachiko there, I want to give him a huge hug.
That's beautiful.
It was a dream though
Wahyu Febriansyah I think that's the ending story of the Richard Gere version of Hachiko
This Is Not Fake Glasses when Hachi woke up. Hachi was already dead 😰😰😰😭😭😭
Hachi also depicts the loyalty and love of the Japanese People to their country
I am crying to watch hachi....... i love u
I like the Japanese film of Hachiko more than Hollywood's.
Yes
Still makes me cry 😢💔
That statue is beautiful.. So detailed
Japan is one of the most developed country in this world but also so rooted to its culture and nature's bond with the humans... I love this nation...
Great story....i just watched that movie .... I didn't know i was going to cry.
Japan is very 2 special and people there don't let such companionship go unrecognized. Great country and nice people....
Love this doggu🐕 he was so loyal
Hachi... the happiness in his face :(❤️
Hachiko was my favorite person for a long time and then I found out we have the same birthday, November 10th.
"I can't even make a Collie stay"... someday I'll find someone or something like Hachiko... I remember being told this story when I was 4 years old in Japan... about honor, grace and loyaality...
The 1987 Japanese film about this is a tearjerking masterpiece.
It is such a beautiful statue that truly speaks 1000 words. Absolutely beautiful
They finally bond in heaven i can't stop crying 😭😭😭😭
Hachi, explains how loyal dogs are..Hachi really caught my emotions & attention.. :c
I don't know about anyone else, but just seeing the statue made me cry.
Respect and respect !!! Much love from Romania. Much respect for japanesse coulture ! Such great people.
It really warm my heart knowing that he will never be forgotten ❤️ thinking about his story really make me cry
Aww that statue is beautiful
They will always be together, in heaven, where nothing will ever separate them..,❤
One of my favorite movies. I cry like a baby every time I watch it.
Absolutely beautiful statue and tribute

Still remembered and felt after a 100 years.
OMG i feel sooo emotional😭😭😭 while watching this unveiling of this 2 bestfriend's statue.💙💙💙
