00:00Panda lovers in Tokyo bid an emotional farewell on Sunday as Japan's last two giant pandas
00:14prepared to return to China. Lei Lei and Xia Chiao have been on loan under China's
00:21panda diplomacy program and symbolized Japan-China friendship for decades.
00:26Visitors turned emotional as they watched the four-year-old twins munch bamboo on their
00:34final public viewing day.
00:56Thank you for joining us.
00:58I hope you enjoyed it.
01:00I hope you enjoyed it.
01:02I hope you enjoyed it.
01:04I hope you enjoyed it.
01:06I will see you in the next video.
01:08With their departure, Japan will be left without any pandas for the first time in nearly 50 years.
01:22The pandas are expected to leave for China on Tuesday amid strange relations between the two countries.
01:34This is the first part.
01:41The first thing that I can do is turn to the last dog's hunt to be a first event.
01:49It's the first time that I can do it for the first time living in my life.
01:53It's the first time that I can do it.
01:55Experts say, while the move may not be political,
02:03any future return of pandas could signal improving ties between Beijing and Tokyo.
