Have you seen the Hachiko statue at Shibuya Station? Did you know that Hachiko Square is going to grow in size by 2025!
jurassic bark before jurassic bark
My tears will not stop flowing for you dear Hachiko Darling😞😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hello! Author, can you tell us more about Hachiko's life in Professor Ueno's house? Describe his life there, his relationship with the owner? How did Ueno treat him? How much did you love your dog? Did Ueno have a family, children? And what is shown in the Japanese film, when the professor took a bath with Hachiko, caught fleas from him for hours, and Hachi fell asleep in his arms are these real facts?
The bronze statue of Hachi was useful to people as a marker for rendezvous in the days when there were no cell phones. Hachi, who had a strong bond with his professor, continued to help people develop friendships even after his death.
Why the japanese lady so sexy , dont respect the tv station horrible unethical dress code…at 4.14 can make fun of hachi suffering voice..in the xompact cd….sick woman im so angry with her😡😡
My crush named her dog after Hachiko lol…. cute name
Inside story.
Hachi was so loved by people using Shibuya Station that a bronze statue was erected in front of Shibuya Station.
However, as World War II dragged on, the metal became scarce in Japan and was melted down as part of tanks.
Furthermore, the sculptor who created this statue died in the US military's indiscriminate bombing of Tokyo.
The statue of Hachiko, the faithful dog created by Teru Ando, was lost in the war, and Ando was also killed in action.
In August 1948, just three years after the end of the war, it was rebuilt by Ando's son Tsutomu Ando.
After the war, Japan was still under Allied occupation, but the story of the faithful dog Hachiko had already been introduced to the West before the war. It is said that volunteer dog lovers from the headquarters (GHQ/SCAP) provided tangible and intangible support, and representatives of GHQ also attended the unveiling ceremony of this rebuilt statue on August 15.

I'm so glad that Hachiko is heralded as a symbol of loyalty and kokua… it puts things in a brighter perspective. Talk about the goodest boi
Having grown up around dogs I will never not be touched by the Loyalty of a dog, Hachiko truly the goodest boy of them all. Yet like all dog stories it hits me deep and makes me wanna cry.
I saw the movie and read about Hackiko, love the restored pictures.

The fact that they did an American movie and the owner of Hachiko was a white guy is Hollywood in a nutshell.

I love the story of hachiko ..the loyal dog .but it's so sad..iam crying to watching the hachiko movie.. because I'm a dog kover..and i have a dog too…my dog's name is brix..
I never knew this history of Hachiko, even though I always meet with my friends in front of him. It's so nice to hear that Hachiko is buried right next to his master.
Thank you for loving Hachiko. from Japan.
Both the Japanese and American versions of the movie make me cry every time.
He liked TERIYAKI CHICKEN
This is a secret 🍖
Happy birthday hachiko!🎉
Your enunciation is grating, and 'full story' is misleading. You glazed over the incredible and moving part, and focused on the statue and tourist attraction. I'm not saying I could do better, I'm sure its not easy, just some constructive criticism.
Interesting story. Now, I'm going to watch "Hachi A Dogs Tale". Fun surprise to hear the Scott Joplin music, "The Entertainer", at the end of the video.
I cry every time I watch Hatchi, a dog’s tale, with Richard Gere; great movie; highly recommended
I would luv a dog like him
9 jears sadness poor sweet dog a haertbreaking story💔
