“Some bonds live forever — even when hearts stop beating.”
Seventeen years after the world wept for a dog who waited at a train station until his final breath, a new chapter begins.
Hachi 2 – A Legacy of Love (2026) brings audiences back to the snowy platforms of Bedridge Station — where loyalty became legend. This time, the story follows Andrew Parker (played by Richard Gere), the now-grown grandson of Professor Parker, who returns to his childhood town with questions about love, loss, and the silent legacy left behind.
While visiting his grandfather’s memorial, Andrew encounters a young Akita puppy abandoned near the station — a quiet, amber-eyed soul who seems to recognize him. From this moment, an unexpected bond forms. Soon, strange things begin to happen:
- The dog sits at the station every day at 5 p.m., just like Hachi once did.
- Old station workers whisper, “He’s come back.”
- And in the silence of winter, Andrew begins to realize — loyalty isn’t inherited by blood, but by love.
✨ What makes Part 2 so special?
- A continuation, not a remake. It’s a tribute to unconditional love passed from generation to generation.
- Beautiful original score inspired by Jan A.P. Kaczmarek, returning to break hearts and heal them again.
- Filmed across Japan & New England, blending the true Hachikō tale with the American legacy that moved the world.
- Featuring new faces and the return of familiar ones — with Richard Gere narrating as an older Andrew, reflecting on life, loyalty, and the dog who changed history.
💬 “Some spirits don’t leave. They wait… until someone remembers.”
Prepare to cry, smile, and believe in love all over again.
Hachi 2 – A Legacy of Love (2026) isn’t just a movie — it’s a tribute to every soul who ever waited for someone who never came home.
