Gardening (1990, Japan)

Nickname: "Blood Around the Daisies, a pocket full of two fingers/ヒナギクの周りの血、2本の指でいっぱいのポケット" 
Description: A wife and husband are seen; the wife is going outside to do some gardening in the yard. She tells her husband; "よし、しばらく外出するぞ。12:00近くに来ます。" which roughly translates to "Alright, I'm going to be out for a while. I'll come in at 12:00." (It doesn't translate directly to this, I just used what I wrote in English text in Google Translate.) The husband says, "さて、あなたが中に戻ったとき、昼食は準備ができています、愛。" it translates to "Well, when you go back inside, lunch will be ready, love." (I altered the original text.) The husband shuts the door as the woman picks up a bag of flower seeds, and runs into the houses' lovely flower garden. It cuts to a nearby apartment building, with a young man texting and driving. It zooms in on his hand and phone and shows a split screen showing his seatbelt isn't buckled. A narrator narrates over the scene, "誰かが運転中にテキストメッセージを送っていて、シートベルトを着用していない場合、見通しは常に良くありません。" which means "If someone is texting while driving and isn't wearing a seatbelt, the outlook isn't always good." 
It shows the woman still gardening, humming while planting daisies. The humming continues while the driver is seen. The driver then drives straight toward the house and garden, He tries to step on the breaks, but he accidentally speeds up. The woman looks and can't act, the car hits her, it zooms in on the flowers getting ran over by the cars' tires. The man is seen banging his head against the windshield, and dropping his phone. It shows a splash of blood on the fence, shards of glass, and 2 fingers de-attached from the hand. Inside the house, it shows the clock strike 12:00 P.M. The salad and tomato soup is a metaphor for a garden and blood, and the husband opens the door. He calls for his wife, and waits. He looks, and sees the scene. He cries. The PSA then cuts and shows text. "外に出るときは注意してください。災害はいつ襲うかわかりません。" 
"運転中は、" "あなたのばかげた電話にいないでください。" "シートベルトを着用してください。" 
"そして、どんな人にも気をつけて、あなたのブレーキを知ってください。"
It would end with the bowl of tomato soup being spilt across the salad. 
Availability: It has aired on television in Japan multiple times, and has been uploaded by a Japanese YouTube account which was soon terminated. It is rare to find the PSA/PIF now, as it stopped airing in 2004.
Scare Factor: Low to High. The PSA/PIF started out normally but ended on a dark, yet short note. It can be upsetting, as the husband calling for his wife after she died can be upsetting to some.
