I did laugh at the hint in the article that Suzuki might be behind these 'scandalous' stories in a bid to inject some 'reality show' hype into Ghibli's publicity. I can believe that, for some reason.

If I remember correctly Suzuki was the guy who did headstands on Ursula K. Le Guin's lawn when he and Goro Miyazaki went to give her a private screening of Gedo. The author was not impressed.

"Professional" a series on NHK that profiles Japan's various entrenpenuers (sp? lol) in various arts had a special on Miyazaki recently... Some kind person put it up on youtube recently.

Miyazaki usually doesn't like media apparently but this focuses on Miyazaki working on the beginnings to the Ponyo work.

Its in 7 parts in all. Unfortunately it isn't subbed, but it was very interesting nonetheless. There are a lot of admitions about his coming of old age and such.

In relation to Gedo Senki and Goro, theres a portion here that has his visit to the preview and his admittions about how even if Gedo Senki to Miyazaki senior was still a reflection of Goro's inexp. he also admiited that for Goro it was his honest good work for his first time.

I was going to mention that Episode 45 of Professional - aired in Japan on 03 27 Just aired here last night I recorded it to watch later today
(good theme song huh - Suga's so smooth lol)

A teenie bit of Ponyo news here: MC Suzuki revealed on his Radio Ghibli programme that the theme song (untitled as yet) is to be performed by Fujimaki Fujioka (a duo of part-time musicians who also happen to Sony music and advertising execs, apparently), and will be sung by an 8 year old child actress, called Nozomi Ohashi (who may or may not be in the movie). This follows the tradition Miyazaki has of using obscure musicians and vocalists in his movies.

Anyway, here's the English lyrics that give us a wondrous insight into the movie's hidden philosophical messages...

As long as they hire professional seiyuu and not the usual terrible amateurs, I'm fine...
And for heaven's sake, let Goro Miyazaki rot forever in some dark corner ! I don't -ever - want to hear about this man again.

^Hey thanks for that.

Wow, it's just like the Totoro theme - cute, catchy and highly addictive.

Everybody sing along now...

Aww that was adorable. And yes it also reminds me of the Totoro theme. But considering Totoro is my favorite Miyazaki film I am very excited about this one. It sounds like it is going to be a feel good movie, which I think is what Miyazaki does best.

Xcomp · 2007-10-19, 16:50

Yup, definitely sounds like the Totoro OP.

So, Miyazaki wants to give his grandson a cute girlfriend?

hmm, don’t see lots of things there. Only information now. Ghibli has decided not to release a trailer yet. There’s the first official poster and the title logo. The title logo reminded me

I didn't watch the howl moving castle thingy cuz I know after a great success with spirited away, the next movie would be usually mediocre, hopefully this one will be better

nanafan · 2008-06-13, 18:39

This sounds like a really interesting story. Personally, I liked howl a lot and gendo senki was good too, even though i didn't read the books. I have been wondering what miyazaki would be working on next, and when it would come out, him and studio ghibli make really good movies.

Ponyo is so sweet *_* and so is the song. This trailer took away the doubts I had on this movie

Xeiros · 2008-06-29, 00:27

That was one of the worst trailers I've ever seen. All that text on the screen. Not to mention the PIP with the idiots who wouldn't shut up.

Leo_Otaku · 2008-06-29, 12:00

I hope she looks pretty as a humna XD her fish form isn't so princess like ^-^"

phishn37 · 2008-06-29, 13:27

I just watched the trailer and could barely contain my excitement ~ ! It's so sweet and cute that I want to see it RIGHT NOW!

Sonhex · 2008-07-18, 14:38

^ Lol, I was just about to post that myself.

You know, I wasn't terribly impressed with the first trailer (Ponyo still looks like a poor man's sock puppet) but this one, wow, this one blew me away completely. Holy crap, it's awesome! My doubts have been dispelled, faith is restored etc.... I've got that wonderful ZOMG an awesome new Ghibli movie cometh feeling that seems to have been lacking since Spirited Away.

Shame I've got to wait a year for the sodding dvd, bleh
