Super: Do you know the origin of your name? Asuha: That I grow tall and healthy, that is about all I know… Norimitsu: I’m not aware of the details… Riko: How my name was decided? Sayaka: I really don’t know… Shou: The origin of my name? I don’t know… Off-narration: Our daughter’s name is Asuha. Off-narration: She was born a very small baby. And when we were thinking about her name, we found these leaves called “ashitaba” (angelica keisei.) You pick its leaves at night and the next morning you already see new buds forming. Seeing such vitality, we were certain this was the right name. Off-narration We chose this name with hopes that he will be a child that shines by receiving teachings from people. When Norimitsu was born, all we thought about was that he will grow well and healthy. Off-narration Our daughter was born in May and we saw a small white flower of jasmine blooming so we named her Riko hoping she will grow to have grace and be a kind person. We waited 8 years to be blessed with our child so we were very happy. Off-narration We named our child Sayaka with hopes that she will always have an air of freshness. We felt we can do anything and everything for this child. Off-narration We chose this Japanese kanji character for his name hoping that he will enrich the family and that he will be able to take the right steps in his life. A name is something that parents give their children which they carry and live with all their lives. So I think parents should give good names to their children. Off-narration My life until now revolved around my son, and Shou I think was what kept me going. Off-narration Riko is an adult now and the time we spend together is not too much. I wish there are a lot more things I can be involved with Riko in the future. Off-narration My life with Sayaka and the times we were together, I was incredibly happy. Off-narration My life ahead is becoming shorter so I would like to talk to Norimitsu about many things while I am still well and healthy. Off-narration Every single thing after birth of a child is a precious and happy memory. Super: If the first gift you give to your child is a name. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Super: What is the last gift you will give? Super: Nomura Inheritance Consulting
