【第84弾】人生模様が見える‟お買い物ドキュメンタリー”「買い物ついて行ってイイですか？」（6月26日放送）

"You can shop however you like with 10,000 yen... May I come along with you?" This project is a "shopping documentary" that follows people on their shopping trips and explores their life stories. This time, the setting is MaxValu Kita 32-jo store in Kita Ward. Each shopping basket held its own unique life story. Staff: "This is from HBC." Customer: "Today I'm buying a lot of delicacies, but my sister loves them, and since all my siblings live in the Kanto region, she's come to Hokkaido this time, and my cousins ​​are here too, so I wanted them to eat something delicious." Staff: "It's a project where we pay 10,000 yen and ask if we can come along with you on your shopping trip." Customer: "I've seen it before." Staff: "Thank you. May I come along with you on your shopping trip?" Customer: "I'm so happy. Especially since my husband is in the hospital." The person who cooperated with the interview was Setsuko Kubota, 74 years old, a resident of Kita Ward. She is originally from Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture. She came to Hokkaido about 40 years ago! Customer: "I'm making soup curry in three days, can I buy some?" Staff: "Of course. That's fine." Customer: "This is really delicious. I highly recommend it." Staff: "Even without deep-frying, if I simmer it with the base, it'll be really delicious?" Customer: "You can. It's very delicious." Staff: "Do you drink a lot of milk?" Customer: "Yes, I do. I even use it as a secret ingredient in curry." Setsuko graduated from a vocational school in her hometown of Kumagaya and then got a job as an office worker at a company in Tokyo. There, she met her future husband, Michifumi. Customer: "He was the person sitting across from me at the office. I'm not good with men, and I went to an all-girls high school, so I'm really bad at talking to men. He asked me if I wanted to go for tea, and at first I refused. But I kind of liked him, so I was wondering what to do, but that's how we started dating." At the age of 23, the two got married in Tokyo. They were blessed with three children! Staff: "What route did you take to come to Hokkaido?" Customer: "My husband was transferred, and he said we'd have to choose between Hokkaido and Kyushu. I thought Hokkaido would be better." They came to Hokkaido when their third son was one year old, and Setsuko was 32. Customer: "I was so happy. I'd always wanted to come to Hokkaido. I wanted to go see the Snow Festival and things like that. I never had the chance to go, so I thought Hokkaido would be a good choice for the transfer." Setsuko's hometown: Kumagaya City, once recorded the highest temperature in Japan. That's why she longed for the northern country…! Customer: "I even enjoyed shoveling snow. Then it snowed again, a white Christmas. I didn't mind (the journey) because I was happy to see the white illuminations and things like that. Every year we'd say, 'Let's go somewhere,' and we'd go to Hakodate on a day trip." A happy life in the place she'd always dreamed of. However, a certain event changed everything. Customer: "My husband saw a newspaper clipping about diabetes. He said the symptoms were similar to his. I asked him if he thought his father had diabetes, and he said he should go to the hospital. He got tested, and they said he did." Ms. Tsubun developed severe diabetes at age 37. Family trips became much less frequent. For about 30 years, she continued to work and live while managing diabetes. However… six years ago… Customer: "His kidneys also started to fail. They said 90% of his kidneys were failing. He's reached the point where he needs dialysis. My husband never imagined Miyako would need dialysis." Furthermore, two weeks ago, his heart also… Customer: "I was finally able to visit him today. He seemed a little better today than when he called yesterday." Staff: "What's the happiest moment for you in your life right now?" Customer: "When I call him every other day and I know he's okay, it's a small thing, but that's enough." Shopping finished! The total was 6780 yen. Setsuko has things she wants to do, just like back then. Customer: "I hope we can all go on a trip together someday. It's not possible right now, so I guess that's my dream." Staff: "Thank you!" Customer: "I'm on my way home from work today." Staff: "What kind of work do you do?" Customer: "I work in elderly care, and I just finished a night shift. I'm going home to sleep, so I thought I'd buy something easy to eat." Staff: "I'll pay you 10,000 yen. Would you mind accompanying me shopping?" Customer: "How far will you go?" Staff: "Until you finish shopping." Customer: "It might not be fun, but if that's okay with you..." Emi Nishiyama, 56 years old. She's been a certified care worker for about 25 years! She came to buy something to eat after her night shift. Customer: "I saw that one kiwi contains eight nutrients, so I try to eat healthy foods whenever possible." Staff: "Do you buy a lot of fruit?" Customer: "I like to keep breakfast...
