I remember lying on my sofa watching this film years ago on a Saturday afternoon expecting a nice entertaining dog movie and by the end I was bawling like a baby 😆😭😭

[@ffffffelipe]

This happened to me with "Marley and me", because I already knew Hachiko's story so I kind of knew what was coming, but the other one caught me by surprise :'(

[@muhest]

I had a similar experience with this film. Thought I was gonna watch a film about a dog and his bond with his human(s). Boy was I in for a surprise. 😭

[@jorgennilsson4168]

[@degov5]

If there's a movie centered around a dog, I just go in expecting it to be a heart wrencher

[@frankotto83]

Jep, had the same experience... And everytime after that, when i watch it again.....

[@cwell510]

The fact that this is a true story (taking place in Japan originally) makes it even more heart wrenching😭

[@Alexalevins]

sorry for my english, I am from Chile, South America, I am a doctor, I work in a hospital in my city, and 3 years ago a patient with heart problems arrived, his dog arrived following the ambulance, and to this day I see his dog waiting for him even though he died 3 years ago, we took care of him, feeding him, and he is always there, it has been almost 4 years now, it is incredible, everyone loves him and feeds him, whenever I can I go out to give some love and play with him, It is incredible how noble these animals are

Here’s my reactions on the movie: 😁😄😃😀😕😟😢😭

[@ireneusz-u9i]

Hachikō (ハチ公, 10 November 1923 - 8 March 1935) was a Japanese Akita dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, for whom he continued to wait for over nine years following Ueno's death. Hachikō was born on November 10, 1923, at a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture. In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor at the Tokyo Imperial University, brought him to live in Shibuya, Tokyo, as his pet. Hachikō would meet Ueno at Shibuya Station every day after his commute home. This continued until May 21, 1925, when Ueno died of a cerebral hemorrhage while at work. From then until his death on March 8, 1935, Hachikō would return to Shibuya Station every day to await Ueno's return. During his lifetime, the dog was held up in Japanese culture as an example of loyalty and fidelity. Well after his death, he continues to be remembered in worldwide popular culture, with statues, movies, books, and appearances in various media. Hachikō is known in Japanese as chūken Hachikō (忠犬ハチ公) "faithful dog Hachikō", hachi meaning "eight" and -kō which originates as a suffix once used for ancient Chinese dukes; thus, Hachikō could be roughly translated as either "Mr. Eight" or "Sir Eight"

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

My Japanese is not as skilled as I might wish...I thought Hachiko meant "Lady Warrior-spirit" and couldn't guess why it would be the name of a male dog. (Hachiman (warrior spirit), -ko (Lady noble).

[@Rabbithole8]

[ハチ=eight (hachi); 公 = buddy]. Yes, one of the meanings of kou (公) is "monarch" or "ruler." It also means "public." The Kanji kou (公) also is used to mean "buddy" or "pal." Usually the kanji (君) is used with the reading of -kimi (きみ). Context matters. Your translation is incorrect. Even if it were not, upon hearing the name Hachiko, no Japanese person will be thinking "Mr. Eight," "Sir Eight," or even "Buddy Eight Thousand." Just like a French person hearing the name Rene, does not "hear" Rebirth. In other words literal translations are misleading. Besides, in Japanese the hachi as well as other kanji can be used to form "Hachikou" to form female names and family names. Hachikou is simply a name. Using the English honorifics "Mr." and "Sir" is particularly strange in translating the Japanese . The typical honorific used for animals is -chan (ちゃん). Hachikou-chan (ハチ公ちゃん) is proper Japanese.

[@キジトラたろ]

@@Rabbithole8 I know it's kind of confusing but katakana has no meaning to them it's kind of like alphabet so ハ and チ put together doesn't mean eight thousand although they do look like kanji 八 hachi and 千 sen eight and thousand 八千 eight thousand is pronounced hassen never hachi. hi from japan.

[@Rabbithole8]

@@キジトラたろ Thank you for the correction. I actually do know the difference between kanji and katakana and hiragana. Even years after living in Japan and learning Japanese I still make rookie mistakes. I actually know better, ha ha. I'm sure you experience the same with English.

Akitas are great dogs. But civilizing them is a lot of work. They’re intelligent, willful, and powerful. People should definitely research any dog breed before getting it, but this goes double for Akitas. Do it right and you have one of the best companions in the world. I know this because my 4 year old Akita girl is about two meters away, on her dog couch, watching me.

[@roadfox808]

In 2015, 90 years after the professor's death and 80 years after Hachi's death, on March 8, the anniversary of Hachi's death, a bronze statue was erected in the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Tokyo where the professor taught. It is a statue of Hachi, who went to pick up the professor, being pampered by the professor. The wishes of those who loved Hachi and the professor took shape, and they were finally reunited. They will never be separated again.

In addition to Hachiko's statue at Shibuya station, there's another statue unveiled in 2015 showing Hachiko reunited with his owner. I remember reading that article and seeing the statue I cried again imagining Hachi getting reunited with his owner after 9yrs.

[@orihusutat1976]

日本ではハチ公と上野博士の話は有名です。 日本の有名なスクランブル交差点のある渋谷駅には、今も上野博士を待つハチ公の銅像が立っています。多くのハチ公の映画ファンが訪れる観光スポットです。 そしてハチ公の飼い主だった上野博士は日本の農業工学を開いた創始者であり、東京大学校舎には上野博士とハチ公が再会する銅像があります。この銅像は感動的です。 犬は人間と最後まで友達でいてくれます。一緒に生きてる時間を大切にしてください。

Normally i didn't cry during ANY movies. Hachiko was the first movie that broke me!

[@pablorodriguez5032]

Was the same for me bro :(

[@sathvamp1]

Same here- for most of my life I never "happened to" cry to virtually anything, and it wasn't until somewhat recently when I was about 35 years old until ONE particular movie strongly triggered tears from me (THAT "first kryptonite" of mine happened to be Pixar's "Inside Out"). That was also when I noticed that feel-good brain endorphins can actually come along with tears (which did surprise me, when I noticed I was actually wanting MORE movies that triggered that effect in me!). So, despite my history of avoiding tearjerkers and/or just not getting affected by them anyway... I started enthusiastically seeking them out! It took a few YEARS for me to find another that "worked on me" (next one was "Interstellar"). Then I did eventually find a good handful. But THIS one... oh my God. I didn't even see the whole movie (I don't have easy access to it, so my first view was just a reaction; one with good complete movie segments but still "just" a reaction video)... and it STILL made me cry at least three times during my first watch of that reaction video. But I also wondered to myself why I didn't cry even harder than I did, given how objectively sad it was... and I got my answer later that night when I noticed how thoughts of the movie were intruding into my brain AND I finally noticed that I was involuntarily pushing them away (because they were too painful). Knowing very well it's not healthy to "repress" like that... I voluntarily let myself feel and process it... and yeah, that resulted in one of THE hardest cries of my life.

[@parangaricutirimi000]

i remember watching this with my brothers and my father, we were expecting just a regular dog movie like something similar to airbud or homeward bound or even Beethoven, we were so wrong. we never cried for any movie, even if it had a very sad scene. oh boy did that not happen here, my brothers and i were balling and even my dad was crying. my sister and mother were laughing at us bc they walked in on men crying at the very end of the movie. they did not know how a movie could make us cry until they watched it. its funny to think about now, i will remember that moment forever. it was the very first time i ever cried for a movie scene/plot/story/character

Long before the time of most of the people reading this, there was a movie called "Old Yeller" about a boy and his dog that came out on Christmas 1957. That was a movie that had grown men who had fought wars crying. Boys were sobbing in the aisles.

[@sathvamp1]

[@debusaiku1]

I know Hachiko because I'm Japanese. It is a well-known dog in Japan. It would be trivia, but Hachiko wore a good harness. In Japan at that time, the dog's harness was regarded as an amulet for safe delivery, so it was thought to be a stray dog because it was stolen and was caught several times by the staff of the health centre. But each time he was protected by a police officer who knew Hachiko, and kept waiting for his owner for the rest of his life.

[@beatproducerken]

Shout out to that police officer taking care of him for the next 9 years tho.

When I was a child I had a dog for 13 years. My Dad brought her home as a puppy when I was 3, we grew up together. She was a border collie, and loved to chase cars. We tried to keep her from it. One of the worst days of my life was when I was 15, came home from school and found her lying in the road. She had been run over. That was 41 years ago. I'll never forget her and I still love her.

[@HairsOfZidane]

The same story happened with the dog Naida. She waited for the master for almost 12 years. In 2005, at one of the pedestrian crossings in Komsomolsk-on-Amur (a city in Russia), a car hit a man with a dog. The man died on the spot, the dog's leg was injured. Someone says that the dog was taken to a veterinary clinic for treatment, someone that she simply disappeared for a while. And then Naida reappeared. Hairy red-haired Naida ran to the bus stop passing near the accident site, and began to meet the buses approaching her, as if she was waiting for someone. The locals recognized the dog: people guessed who she was hoping to see. In the early years, local residents tried several times to shelter Naida. All attempts ended the same way: Naida was given into good hands, she ran away and returned to the bus stop. She spent almost 12 years at the bus stop. In 2016, Naida was hit by a car for the second time in her life not far from that bus stop. After that, the dogs were taken to animal rights activists. There she soon died. Center staff report that this was due to old age rather than to injuries. In April 2017, the Sculpture of the Dog was decided to be placed at the same bus stop.

"Is it smelling really that bad?" Well, let's put it this way: When I was younger, my family had a little white dog. When she got skunked, she smelled so bad that my dad decided to try a "home remedy" he'd been told about, which was to wash her in tomato soup. So then we had a dog that smelled of skunk and tomato soup. 🙈 And the soup turned her hair a pink/orange color!

I'm not married and don't have kids and live by myself, so he was like my child, very close bond with him. When I lost him it completely destroyed me. I went through a level of grief I've never felt before. I literally grieved harder for him, than any human family member I've lost. I watched the movie about a week after I lost him and that was a big mistake, I think sobbed through the entire film. Goes to show you that you can have stronger bond with them than people.

This is the movie to do it, for sure- for most of my life I never "happened to" cry to virtually anything, and it wasn't until somewhat recently when I was about 35 years old until ONE particular movie strongly triggered tears from me (THAT "first kryptonite" of mine happened to be Pixar's "Inside Out"). That was also when I noticed that feel-good brain endorphins can actually come along with tears (which did surprise me, when I noticed I was actually wanting MORE movies that triggered that effect in me!). So, despite my history of avoiding tearjerkers and/or just not getting affected by them anyway... I started enthusiastically seeking them out! It took a few YEARS for me to find another that "worked on me" (next one was "Interstellar"). Then I did eventually find a good handful. But THIS one... oh my God. I didn't even see the whole movie (I don't have easy access to it, so my first view was just a reaction; one with good complete movie segments but still "just" a reaction video)... and it STILL made me cry at least three times during my first watch of that reaction video. But I also wondered to myself why I didn't cry even harder than I did, given how objectively sad it was... and I got my answer later that night when I noticed how thoughts of the movie were intruding into my brain AND I finally noticed that I was involuntarily pushing them away (because they were too painful). Knowing very well it's not healthy to "repress" like that... I voluntarily let myself feel and process it... and yeah, that resulted in one of THE hardest cries of my life.

I don’t really cry, but this movie had me bawling my eyes out

Same here- for most of my life I never "happened to" cry to virtually anything, and it wasn't until somewhat recently when I was about 35 years old until ONE particular movie strongly triggered tears from me (THAT "first kryptonite" of mine happened to be Pixar's "Inside Out").

Totally heartbreaking and I'm sure you're both destroyed. So many tears that you're now dehydrated. Thank you for sharing your lovely reaction to this amazing movie. I know you will go hug your dogs for 3 days straight!

[@ANURAGPARIHARVLOGS]

The most heartbreaking wrenching soul tormentor scene is Hatchi dreaming in end ...my god ...My lord

[@shatterquartz]

Hachiko's statue in Tokyo is a popular meeting spot for lovers, since it's a symbol of loyalty.

[@lifeincarnate7304]

Ugh, this movie wrecks me every time.... Im gonna go curl up and cry for a couple days...

[@abend4335]

Great reaction! I can't watch this movie without crying and going to hug my dog, it's so heartbreaking 💔💔😭

[@Eliasu1150]

i haven't even watched the movie, and im crying just thinking about hachiko

[@themhishelu6943]

Una gran película la cual hizo llorar a todo el mundo

[@武井丈兒]

It is said that his late father often patted Hachiko on the head as he headed towards Shibuya Station. It seems that everyone around Shibuya Station loved Hachiko.

[@CristianAlsina-bh3hy]

I can watch this movie a thousand times and every time it will make me cry as a little baby. It's heart breaking yet has a great ending❤ Hachiko's love and devotion and loyalty has no rivals. Great reaction guys! Greetings from Argentina

[@kellyw5232]

Yeah I bawled my eyes out too since I knew about the story of Hachiko. When I went to Japan i got to see both statues. Main one at Shibuya Station and the other one at Tokyo University

[@K.SIMON9528]

I'm Japanese. The story of "Hachi" is a true event that took place in Japan and is known as the story of "Hachiko, the Loyal Dog." It is a well-known tale among Japanese people. The statue of Hachiko at Shibuya represents this story.

[@ambroseasylum9777]

After the University scene I broke down and I saw the rest of the film filled with water in my eyes 🥺🥺🥺

[@baha88dupont15]

I AM SO HAPPY YOU HAS LOOK FINALLY THIS MOVIES, THANKS YOU GIRLS !

[@hklei3989]

i love the left side dogs reaction when she praise Hatchi "oh baby he is so loyal" 37:22

[@brettjames7996]

I cried my eyes out it’s amazing how much he kept going back no matter what

[@sendofeitodedanada.57]

This is the only movie I cry because it's a true story.

[@mendozaoctobereyr.174]

I think this movie will be allowed not to be edited

[@Brandawn69]

I watched the entire video waiting for the end credits and for Ellie to realize it’s based on a true story and see her reaction, 42:40 did not disappoint and it’s similar to the way I reacted in highschool when we watched this movie in class.

[@thissailorja]

If you dont have a reaction, youre a psychopath

[@jamesba-xd7xf]

WOW!, I never heard of this movie but tears are filling my eyes for the last 15 minutes, a great movie. I love having your dogs on the set when you all are watching movies. great review/reaction.

[@carlosazevedo5506]

The dogs are like: "what the heck is happening ?! They are crying and hugging us?!" Hahaha

[@raymundocccp5482]

I see that fucking movie with a girl and I do a overhuman effort for not cry

[@sydneybristow5588]

OMG....I've been waiting many years for people brave enough to react to this!!!!!!! Thank you so much 💓 💗 💛 💖 ☺

[@hannaharp1]

"Old Yeller" is a must watch, if you haven't already." This movie reminds me of my last dog which I had for over 10 years. Got her when she was 4 months. Her original owner came for visit years after not seeing her, and recognized her immediately. The doggie became so happy, wagging her tail while being hugged by her original momma

[@rainbowunicorngirl2187]

Literally reminding me of both my dogs, yes, they are still alive. But this film made me bawl like a hungry baby. Like I couldn’t stop crying. My parents came in and watch me cry and they asked me, “Are you crying?” and I replied, “No, it’s just sweaty eyes.” 😂😂

[@BeAuTyLoVe17]

Poor Ellie got completely emotionally destroyed 😅 This movie always makes me cry, even listening to the (beautiful) soundtrack can make me tear up

[@fatbuu4921]

Oh boy I need a dog in my life. Anyone else???

[@ancientloredude]

The Hachiko statue is a well known landmark in Japan. It is located at Shibuya station in Tokyo. It is a popular meeting spot. Their are benches that surround the statue. People tell others they will be waiting at the Hachi statue so they can meet them there.

[@mattmccluskey4242]

This is a very touching story and the ladies are adorable. However, try watching their reactions without the "Hachi" movie inset or subtitles. Possibly one of the funniest videos on the internet.

[@warriorpitbull1170]

This reaction to Hachiko's story was powerful. I feel your hearts pouring through and the pain you share with us connects us all as humans. Now, we need a Viki, Lia and Laura Hachi reaction.

[@kathecamargo]

"Oh look, they have a reaction to Hachiko, that's such a beautiful movie, it's sad but I know what happens, so it won't be that heartbreaking this time"...40 minutes later, my husband arrives and freaks out seeing me crying with heart wrenching sobs while watching only a REACTION of the movie! Oh boy, I was not prepared for that... P.D. Once he noticed I was watching something, he hug me and was like "Amor, please stop watching sad videos of cute dogs, that always make you cry" lol And I ended up laughing through the tears ❤️

[@Ryokohbi]

I had an American Akita who passed away from cancer. Watching this made me weep rivers. I miss my boy, his name was Papa.

[@justinchristoph3725]

This is one of those movies that make you want to hug your dog.

[@timothyhedrick5295]

You may want to take a few months to recover first, but I would highly recommend "A Dog's Purpose (2017). The story of a dog being reincarnated several times as he seeks .... well, I don't want to spoil the ending. Great reaction video. Crushed my heart.

[@a.s.2d817]

Dogs can really be the kindest, most gentle friends one can Hope for. This movie Is amazing, so was Hachi. Anyway i Don't think I'd stay sane watching a whole movie with my friend talking and producing ultrasound non stop next to me🤣🤣
