The Troublous Times Drawn by Ghibli exhibition is to take place from October 4 to November 24 and the project s main staff member is none other than Miyazaki Goro, who also made a related movie plan. Its subject is If Ghibli produced an animation based on Hottas two essays Hojoki Shiki and Teika Meigetsuki Shisho and takes two works that were both written about 800 years ago. Using Hojoki, an essay by Kamo Chomei, and Meigetsuki, a diary by Fujuwara Teikam, Miyazaki Goro planned a story about what these two persons saw and considered during a time of war and turmoil. Furthermore worth noting is Neppu s inclusion of a Miyazaki Goro s pencil drawn image board and two character sketches from that particular plan. Nothing is said about its filmization though. On a related note, Neppu s September issue also includes some of Suzuki s written episodes about Hotta. Hotta, who had lived in Spain for ten years and had much knowledge of its history and that of Europe, wrote many books about Spain. One of those, Rojo no Hito , A man lived on the road, was read by Suzuki and tells of a story about those who lived during Europe s Middle Ages and roamed around from Italy to Spain and France. Suzuki told Hotta, This novel must be interesting if its made into animation. , to which Hotta replied, Ill give you the filming rights right now!. Suzuki added, However, it would not be easy to realize. It seems that the novel also raised Miyazaki Goro s interest, though again nothing concrete is yet said of making it into a film. 8th of September, S VENICE REPORT s presence Suzuki Toshio, Hoshino Koji and Fujioka Fujimaki at Venice Film Festival as it was far from over, but that fun has now come to an end so it is time to post our details.

On August 20, Studio Ghibli president Hoshino visited Koganei city hall and handed over the character to mayor Inaba. We once saw mayor Inaba before at the Ghibli nursery opening ceremony and he said they will definitely put it into practical use. Currently the boy has no name yet, but Koganei city is publicly soliciting for a name. Miyazaki said, Only a town where small kids grow well can develop. The baby wears a kind of apron red cloth which is called a haragake and used to keep the stomach warm. On the character s harakage is written, which is kanji for kin or kane and means gold. The kanji is taken from the city name Koganei and on the other hand it is a typical traditional design for a harageke. The Japanese folk tale boy hero Kintaro also wears it. 20th of August, PONYO EXCEEDS 10, 000, 000, 000 YEN AT JAPANESE BOX OFFICE: In only 31 days after its release has Miyazakis heart warming fantasy Gake no ue no Ponyo , Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea managed to exceed the 10 billion Yen on Japanese box-office sales. Since last years Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End it is the first movie to exceed this mark and for Ghibli the first since 2004s Howl s Moving Castle. Compared to their previous releases, Ponyo s 10-billion-in-one-month record is beyond that of Chihiro 25 days, though shorter than Howl s 33 days and Mononoke 43 days. Even in Ponyo s 5th week of release its vigor doesnt drop down, not only attracting a wide range of people from kids to adults, but bringing a lot of second-time viewers to the Japanese theaters as well. Logically, Ponyo s future expectations remain to be good. Distributor TOHO forecasts its number of viewers will exceed 10 million in August. Even more, after September it is expected to beat Hauru no Ugoku Shiro and Mononoke Hime as a megahit in the long run box office. 19th of August, AN INTERVIEW WITH MIYAZAKI HAYAO BY ROBERT WHITING AT GHIBLI ASEMAMIRE: With another episode of Suzuki Toshio s radio talk show Ghibli Asemamire at Tokyo FM having passed, brings another summary as well.
