In Japan, April is the time when schools begin their new education year,

日本の学校では新学期が始まり

and the tulips and gardens burst into new life.

チューリップも咲き始めました

Yes, the calendar year may begin in January, but Japan's real new year begins in April.

日本では4月が新年度の始まりです

I said "Oh my goodness, it's so high!" It's so high, look at that!

I don't think it works on the grass like that.

新学期が始まる前に近くの 桜ヶ丘公園でピクニックです

We've come to nearby Sakuragaoka park to enjoy one last outing before the new school year begins.

タンポポの綿毛のように過ぎ去る時間 こういう時間は貴重です

These moments are precious to us, as the years come and go like a daffodils, here one day and gone the next.

子供達が日本の小学校に入学したのが 昨日の事のようです

It seems like only yesterday we were sending our kids to Japanese elementary school for the first time.

ベッカとアナも今年が 小学生としての最後の一年です

Now this year will be Becca and Anna's last year before Junior High.

Are you having a picnic out here with everyone?

クッパ以外はみんないるよ クッパは意地悪だから

Yeah with all of the Mario stuff and without Bowser because he's mean.

- クッパとキングテレサは意地悪だから... - 呼ばれなかったの？

Bowser and King Boo are mean so we didn't... Oh, they didn't get to come?

私たちは日本に移住して 7年になります

In fact it's been exactly 7 years since we moved to Japan.

楽しいと時間が 過ぎるのが速いですね

Oh how times flies when you're having fun.

ちょっと待って ママは 2・３・4 … 全部あるわ

Hang on... now I have 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Oh my goodness, mommy's right next to the win. She can taste it.

- 私は９点あるよ - そうなの？

ベッカはカードいっぱいあるね！ 大変だ

We're going to be late. We are? What time is it?

We've got to get you off for your first day of school!

帰ってから続ければいいでしょ

You could continue it when you get back...

3-3をあげるから 木を一本ちょうだい

I'm going to give you 3- 3! Can you give me one wood?

- 一番大きい軍隊だよ - 手に入れたね

The largest army. Oh, you're getting the largest army.

1st day of 6th grade! 1st day of 2nd grade!

準備はいい？ 今日から新学期だよ

So girls, here we go. The start of another school year.

Yes, today we find out what classes you'll be in...

ベッカとアナは 今年で小学校卒業だね

Becca and Anna, you're last year in Elementary school!

This is going to be our last time doing this.

私の担任の先生は 去年のアナの先生で

サラの担任は私の４年生の時の先生で

And Anna has the 5th grade 1st class (teacher)

- アイリちゃんと一緒？ - 違うの

アヤコちゃんと一緒だけど アイリちゃんは独りぼっちだよ

- ハルムはアナと同じクラスだよ - やった！

今日は日本で一番好きな公園 昭和記念公園に来ました

Alright we're coming to one of our favorite parks in all of Japan: Showa Kinen.

日本の花園は他と比べられないくらい 見事です

When it comes to flower gardens, the Japanese are in a class all their own.

新学期の時期になると 昭和記念公園のチューリップが咲きます

And when the new school year comes, we know it's time for the blooming of the tulips at Showa Kinen.

あっちで沢山写真を撮ってます

They're getting more pictures over there, do you see that?

- 今が一番好きな季節？ - 間違いなく

So, would this be your favorite time of year here? Yes, definitely.

秋の紅葉も綺麗だけど やっぱり春が好きよ

Oh, the Spring. Although the Fall leaves are awfully pretty...but I prefer the Spring.

私も春が大好きです 春の昭和記念公園は最高です

I would have to agree. The tulip garden at Showa Kinen is second to none, especially on a perfect spring day.

- 撮影中だね - 邪魔しないで！

Taking her photos! (Laughs) Don't bother me!

Don't bother you?! Let you focus on your art.

- 置いて行かないで - チューリップの中に？

Don't leave me- I'm your child. Leave you in the tulips?

パパ お願い カワイイ犬が沢山いるよ

Daddy, please, I see a lot of little dogs here... Ah, look at that little puppy!

- クリスマスに犬を買って - 犬を？

I want you to buy us a dog for Christmas. A dog for Christmas?!

すごい！花が逆さまみたいだね

Crazy! They're like upside-down flowers, huh Sarah?

It's grass on top and flowers on the bottom.

- どうやって作ったの？ - さあね

ママは面白い角度で写真を撮ってます

Mommy's having fun getting creative with photos.

健康的な家庭の為には 時間と思いやりが必要です

Having a healthy family is a lot of work, especially when there's so much competing for time and attention these days.

パンデミックの予想できない変化は 特にチャレンジになります

The ups and downs of life during a pandemic are particularly challenging,

いつか子供達のために 時間と労力を使って良かったと思う日が来ます

but when we look back years later, we'll be thankful for all the time and energy invested in the children;

子供達が世界に良い影響を 与えられるように

in raising them to be people who make a positive difference in the world.

必要なのは家族を 一つにする愛の体験です

And at the center of that experience is a love that holds the family together.

時間が経つにつれ 深くなる愛です

It's a love that only grows deeper and deeper as time moves on.
