00:22:20,167 --> 00:22:22,709
FUMIKO MATSUDA
Obstetrician
2
00:31:43,376 --> 00:31:44,542
Next stop: Osaka
3
00:33:32,376 --> 00:33:33,542
Hello.
4
00:33:34,459 --> 00:33:36,167
We only open in the afternoon.
5
00:33:36,459 --> 00:33:39,417
We come to see Akiko.
6
00:33:40,084 --> 00:33:41,876
It's very important, very urgent.
7
00:33:54,584 --> 00:33:57,792
- Who should I announce?
- I am Nanako Kasajima.
8
00:34:14,334 --> 00:34:15,417
Good morning.
9
00:34:15,834 --> 00:34:16,792
A customer.
10
00:34:23,376 --> 00:34:24,709
Nanako Kasajima is here.
11
00:34:29,126 --> 00:34:30,834
Little Nanako?
12
00:34:31,292 --> 00:34:33,709
- Do you remember me?
- But of course!
13
00:34:34,001 --> 00:34:35,292
Gosh!
14
00:34:36,709 --> 00:34:40,792
Little Nanako
who was always doing stupid things.
15
00:34:42,959 --> 00:34:45,501
I see your Japanese
still sucks!
16
00:34:49,209 --> 00:34:50,917
Did you bring us a little gaijin?
17
00:34:51,209 --> 00:34:53,084
This is my husband, Aurélien.
18
00:35:11,459 --> 00:35:14,251
I see you still have us
brought problems...
19
00:35:15,292 --> 00:35:16,251
Follow me.
20
00:35:30,334 --> 00:35:31,584
Take off your clothes!
21
00:35:33,626 --> 00:35:34,417
All ?
22
00:35:38,001 --> 00:35:39,501
Come here!
23
00:35:49,501 --> 00:35:51,126
Oni…
24
00:35:58,834 --> 00:36:01,667
Rokurokubi…
25
00:36:07,501 --> 00:36:09,334
Izanagi.
26
00:36:11,834 --> 00:36:13,959
Izanami.
27
00:36:19,876 --> 00:36:21,292
Shiraga!
28
00:36:23,709 --> 00:36:25,251
What is "Shiraga"?
29
00:36:29,376 --> 00:36:30,376
Japan,
30
00:36:31,167 --> 00:36:32,292
our great country
31
00:36:33,209 --> 00:36:36,501
full of myths
and fantastic legends.
32
00:36:38,042 --> 00:36:41,417
Pure tales, revered by the people,
33
00:36:42,209 --> 00:36:46,834
who are registered
at the foundation of our culture.
34
00:36:51,834 --> 00:36:52,667
On the other hand,
35
00:36:53,251 --> 00:36:56,459
the most dangerous legends
36
00:36:57,376 --> 00:37:00,501
are not known and transmitted
only by a handful of monks
37
00:37:00,792 --> 00:37:04,126
and disappeared
of collective memory.
38
00:37:05,209 --> 00:37:06,167
Shiraga…
39
00:37:07,001 --> 00:37:08,126
who was he?
40
00:37:15,626 --> 00:37:19,042
A simple villager,
in the 17th century, in the Edo era…
41
00:37:20,917 --> 00:37:23,542
A craftsman
who lived with his wife and son
42
00:37:24,876 --> 00:37:27,376
and who had lost an eye in the war.
43
00:37:28,834 --> 00:37:32,751
But resentment and hostility
dead from the battlefield
44
00:37:33,209 --> 00:37:36,042
transformed the eye that remained...
45
00:37:37,667 --> 00:37:39,334
in curse.
46
00:37:41,417 --> 00:37:42,751
From this day on,
47
00:37:43,042 --> 00:37:44,626
the world that Shiraga saw
48
00:37:44,917 --> 00:37:47,542
was tinged with an evil fog.
49
00:37:48,417 --> 00:37:50,584
If this eye saw a smile,
50
00:37:50,876 --> 00:37:54,042
he saw it
like a sneaky threat.
51
00:37:54,709 --> 00:37:58,084
A passing stranger,
he was obviously a bandit.
52
00:37:58,376 --> 00:38:02,084
A cousin who spoke to his wife,
it's because they were plotting behind his back.
53
00:38:02,376 --> 00:38:03,876
And that cursed eye...
54
00:38:05,376 --> 00:38:06,876
never closed again.
55
00:38:08,584 --> 00:38:12,751
One day, alone and desperate,
he wandered in the forest
56
00:38:13,459 --> 00:38:17,126
and rested at the foot
of a “face tree”, the “Jinmenju”.
57
00:38:19,376 --> 00:38:22,251
With his cursed eye he stared at the tree
58
00:38:22,709 --> 00:38:24,376
when a flash of light flashed.
59
00:38:25,126 --> 00:38:27,292
And the creator gods appeared to him,
60
00:38:27,959 --> 00:38:30,167
Izanami and Izanagi.
61
00:38:31,417 --> 00:38:33,542
They told him
that they had the solution.
62
00:38:33,834 --> 00:38:36,959
They gave him bronze armor.
63
00:38:38,709 --> 00:38:41,834
"By putting on the armor, could I
escape the curse?
64
00:38:42,126 --> 00:38:45,959
Shiraga put on the armor, reassured, and
returned home to his family.
65
00:38:51,709 --> 00:38:52,792
At nightfall,
66
00:38:54,459 --> 00:38:56,917
he woke up,
thinking he heard mice...
67
00:38:57,626 --> 00:38:59,042
And in the dark,
68
00:38:59,667 --> 00:39:03,292
he saw glowing eyes and fangs.
69
00:39:06,626 --> 00:39:11,251
What he saw
clearly didn't come from this world.
70
00:39:13,751 --> 00:39:16,084
And that's where the real nightmare
started:
71
00:39:16,376 --> 00:39:19,126
the screams, the tears,
sleepless nights.
72
00:39:20,042 --> 00:39:21,209
Night after night,
73
00:39:21,501 --> 00:39:24,126
bitten, scratched,
burned, planted, asphyxiated!
74
00:39:24,792 --> 00:39:27,751
He was attacked
by the most terrifying yokai.
75
00:39:29,001 --> 00:39:32,334
Stuck in his armor
which acted like a magnet for yokaïs.
76
00:39:32,626 --> 00:39:34,501
As if she was calling them.
77
00:39:34,792 --> 00:39:37,876
But Shiraga, trapped,
could no longer escape it.
78
00:39:38,167 --> 00:39:41,751
The yokaïs returned every night,
ever more numerous!
79
00:39:43,834 --> 00:39:45,834
Endless despair.
80
00:39:48,292 --> 00:39:49,667
His wife left him.
81
00:39:51,376 --> 00:39:52,709
His son was devoured.
82
00:39:57,084 --> 00:40:00,459
Shiraga found himself alone,
fleeing every night.
83
00:40:02,334 --> 00:40:03,959
Exhausted,
84
00:40:05,459 --> 00:40:09,709
overwhelmed, tired of fleeing,
he gave up and succumbed...
85
00:40:13,292 --> 00:40:15,251
to a hundred yokaïs
86
00:40:16,001 --> 00:40:17,959
who dismembered him
87
00:40:19,709 --> 00:40:21,959
and threw him into a well.
88
00:40:27,584 --> 00:40:30,001
You're in trouble.
89
00:40:30,792 --> 00:40:32,501
Wherever you go,
90
00:40:33,042 --> 00:40:34,751
wherever you are,
91
00:40:35,834 --> 00:40:38,751
they will be there every night.
92
00:40:40,292 --> 00:40:41,917
Go as far as possible!
93
00:40:42,459 --> 00:40:43,209
Go away!
94
00:57:29,126 --> 00:57:31,501
DEDICATION READING
WITH K. TAKEDA
95
00:57:32,167 --> 00:57:34,959
Yoko lived in a world of yokaïs.
96
00:57:35,834 --> 00:57:38,667
Wherever she went,
she saw monsters.
97
00:57:38,959 --> 00:57:40,542
When she went to school...
98
00:57:44,167 --> 00:57:45,667
When she went to the park...
99
00:57:52,167 --> 00:57:53,251
And also to the hairdresser!
100
00:58:01,876 --> 00:58:04,626
And so,
Yoko still stayed in her room.
101
00:58:05,292 --> 00:58:08,417
But again...
a yokai slowly comes out of the closet!
102
00:58:09,251 --> 00:58:10,542
He approaches Yoko.
103
00:58:12,209 --> 00:58:13,251
But fortunately...
104
00:58:14,251 --> 00:58:16,834
The yokai walks on marbles
105
00:58:17,126 --> 00:58:19,417
and breaks his face!
106
00:58:22,709 --> 00:58:25,459
The yokai starts to cry.
107
00:58:26,334 --> 00:58:28,126
And at that moment,
108
00:58:28,667 --> 00:58:33,251
little Yoko no longer sees them
like monsters...
109
00:58:39,292 --> 00:58:40,459
Congratulations!
110
00:58:40,751 --> 00:58:42,167
Thank you so much !
111
00:58:42,459 --> 00:58:44,626
I'm a big fan.
112
00:58:46,751 --> 00:58:49,126
Is this cosplay or a new fashion?
113
00:58:49,667 --> 00:58:50,334
Yes.
114
00:58:50,626 --> 00:58:54,876
I'm sorry, but
He doesn't speak Japanese very well.
115
00:58:55,167 --> 00:58:57,876
- Not at all.
- A little bit Japanese.
116
00:58:58,751 --> 00:59:00,251
We can speak in English.
117
00:59:01,042 --> 00:59:04,001
Do you believe yokai are real?
118
00:59:04,459 --> 00:59:06,626
What do you mean by "real"?
119
00:59:07,334 --> 00:59:09,167
We mean real.
120
00:59:09,459 --> 00:59:11,667
Very very very real.
121
00:59:12,251 --> 00:59:13,542
Well, it depends…
122
00:59:14,209 --> 00:59:16,917
Did Moses really
opened the Red Sea?
123
00:59:17,959 --> 00:59:19,792
I see them as metaphors.
124
00:59:20,376 --> 00:59:24,251
Yokaïs are often
the representation of danger.
125
00:59:24,626 --> 00:59:26,209
They are there to warn you,
126
00:59:26,501 --> 00:59:29,584
teach you something
or protect yourself, in some way.
127
00:59:30,292 --> 00:59:31,876
Like Kappa, for example.
128
00:59:32,834 --> 00:59:36,709
The Kappas drown the children
and eat their testicles.
129
00:59:37,792 --> 00:59:40,959
But they were invented
to keep children away from ponds.
130
00:59:41,792 --> 00:59:43,459
That's kind of what I do.
131
00:59:44,084 --> 00:59:47,376
Transforming the fear of yokai
into something positive.
132
00:59:48,001 --> 00:59:52,167
For example, what would you do
if you meet a Kappa?
133
00:59:55,376 --> 00:59:56,959
Maybe I'm running away...
134
00:59:57,876 --> 00:59:58,751
Or maybe...
135
01:00:00,584 --> 01:00:03,751
Maybe I can keep him away
with a few jabs?
136
01:00:04,042 --> 01:00:06,834
I feint with a right hook,
I surprise him with a low-kick
137
01:00:07,126 --> 01:00:09,001
and I kick his turtle legs.
138
01:00:09,667 --> 01:00:11,792
And then I tackle him to the ground and…
139
01:00:12,834 --> 01:00:16,334
and I smash his dirty green head
on the ground.
140
01:00:17,376 --> 01:00:21,251
This brutal method can work
if you know how to fight.
141
01:00:21,959 --> 01:00:23,584
But, if you come across a Kappa,
142
01:00:23,876 --> 01:00:26,251
just bend over
and say hello to him.
143
01:00:27,251 --> 01:00:30,501
As he is very polite,
it will also bend.
144
01:00:30,792 --> 01:00:32,334
And at that moment,
145
01:00:33,542 --> 01:00:37,709
the water in his head
will overturn
146
01:00:38,334 --> 01:00:39,709
and he will fall asleep.
147
01:03:53,667 --> 01:03:56,209
You're the one who's supposed to help me!
148
01:03:57,584 --> 01:03:59,667
You're the one who's supposed to help me!
149
01:13:34,251 --> 01:13:35,459
I'll come back tomorrow.
150
01:13:35,834 --> 01:13:36,751
Good day !
151
01:13:37,209 --> 01:13:37,959
THANKS !
152
01:19:12,167 --> 01:19:15,042
I'm really sorry,
but unregistered passengers…
153
01:19:53,917 --> 01:19:55,042
Please.
154
01:19:56,501 --> 01:19:58,376
- THANKS.
- Thank you.
155
01:32:22,376 --> 01:32:26,084
Yokaïs are often
the representation of danger.
156
01:32:27,459 --> 01:32:29,376
Transform the fear of yokai
157
01:32:30,209 --> 01:32:31,792
into something positive.
158
01:33:17,834 --> 01:33:21,709
And at that moment, she no longer saw them
like monsters.
159
01:37:10,292 --> 01:37:14,042
He went further than Shiraga.
160
01:37:14,709 --> 01:37:17,001
We can free him.
161
01:37:17,292 --> 01:37:20,417
There is one last test left…
