Rebirth (八日目の蝉)

I wake up in the middle of the night

Every night ... it's been 4 years

I hear a cry in my sleep

The voice of a baby screaming

calling me for help

I wake up and look around

Erina is not here

Although I am a mother

Her warm embrace cannot soothe my pain

Some said "make another baby"

How can they be so insensitive

Until she came back

I thought I would go crazy

As a couple

Erina was our treasure

But the Erina who came back

of course is our child

But

the little 4 year-old Erina

Does not see us

as her real parents

She thinks her abductor is her real mother

She loves her

Do you know how painful

how sad this is?

That woman

Has robbed the whole family

The pain of our family

Even as Erina is back still continues

That woman

Stole not only Erina's body

But her heart also

One who takes a life gets the death penalty

But she took the heart of a whole family

And there is no death penalty for her

This is why I say ...

Give us back our happiness

Etsuko told me:

"You are bare like a tree in winter"

"You got pregnant from Hiroshi but terminated it"

"now it went bad and you can't conceive anymore"

"That's the price you pay for killing a baby"

When Etsuko got pregnant

I thought I had to take a distance from Hiroshi

But I was too weak I couldn't

Etsuko was calling every day

Crying for her husband to return

or the next day talking about Hiroshi's sex life

taking pleasure in an open discussion

an other day verbally abusing me

she kept calling every day

She seemed almost crazy

when I heard the baby was born

I just wanted to take a glance at the baby

one look and that would be enough

then I would forget everything change place and job

Start a new life with my dad's inheritance

It was all set in my heart

Kaoru ...

Little Kaoru

...protect this child

I will protect this child

Her smile would comfort me

would forgive that ...

I had killed my baby in the womb

tried to steal a married man

for all these

she would be my forgiveness

this is ... what I thought

"In a baby's most tender years"

"the accused took her away from her parents"

"at a time when a child needs affection most"

"she dispossessed her"

"That little Erina's emotional scars will remain"

"is also a concern"

"Despite the cruelty of the crime"

"The accused doesn't reconsider her act"

"or show any sign of regret"

"it is useless to expect any sincere remorse"

"And in the view of these facts"

"We apply the sentence of 6 years imprisonment"

"We have given this penalty due consideration"

Let the accused come to the bar

This is the end of the trial

Does the accused want to say something?

If you do please be concise

Until I was arrested

I would pray every day of my life

and every day, all day

to live with Kaoru

And I lived praying continuously

For four year

I was allowed to taste the joy of motherhood

I would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Akiyama

Wouldn't you rather apologize than thank them?

There is no word of apology

Just die!

Why don't you die!

Please calm down

Rebirth [The loneliness of the 8th day cicada]

I know a girl

she puts the color inside of my world

But she's just like a maze

Where all of the walls all continually change

And I've done ...

Ms Akiyama

We're going out to karaoke

I work until 12 midnight

Oh, right

You're Erina Akiyama?

I'm Ando a freelance writer

May we have a little talk?

Are you a journalist?

You are little Kaoru, right?

I'd like to ask you questions about the abduction

I don't remember it

Here

If you remember anything please tell me

I'll come again

Finished Work? Be careful on the way back Kishida

Mrs. Akiyama congratulations !

Congratulations

It's a family reunion

How do you feel right now?

How do you feel about the accused?

Do you feel she is your own kid?

Erina found in Kagawa, Shodoshima with 33-year-old abductor

Erina reunited with family after an absence of 1342 days

Kazuo Nozomi, no regrets expresses gratitude instead of apologies

Oh, Yasue!

Yeah ... Who is it?

Kiwako Nozomi

I'm sorry

Right now I'm in your neighborhood

Close to your house

Alright, thank you

Little Kaoru

It's cold out there

So your Mom got married and made you!?

Little Kaoru is so cute

Little Kaoru

Let's make a tea pot?

What?

Milk

What's her dosage?

About that, Yasue

I need your help

What kind of help?

I did not actually get married

I lived together with this kid's father

but I ran away

Why?

He was hitting the baby

So I decided to take the child and run

Tell me Kiwa, could this person be ...?

No way! Of course not

So, help me please

I Broke with up with that other guy long ago

He was so mean

Although he was married

He told you he'd leave if you cheated on him

I thought of going myself and yell at him

Yasue, typical

Remember our teacher was smoking in class

You started getting angry at him

I did?

You are the same person I used to know

But there's no going back

You don't need to be so dramatic

I'll help you

You can ask me anything you want
