The great debaters part 11

For example, he romanced passionately. Miyazaki Goro: Indeed. He had much energy and was really passionate. Furthermore, he had both objectivity and subjectivity. Basically, the highbrows from his age are in another league to today. In terms of literature, music, there is a world of difference between them and us. Especially Hotta, who was born in a rich ship owner family, grew up surrounded by high-quality goods and very much had a sense of beauty. Question: Is it possible for us to have another Hotta in the 21st century? Miyazaki Goro: I dont think that ll be easy. That kind of intelligence was built on some sort of high-quality education and not at school. I can only say we should read classics. Question: We are looking forward to see Teika to Chomei to be filmed. Thank you very much. Note: Teika and Chomei lived from end of the Heian to the beginning of the Kamakura era. During the Heian era , which took place from 794 to 1192, the capital was set in Kyoto, which was then called Heian-kyo. During the Kamakura era , which took place from 1192 to 1333, the military government existed in Kamakura near Tokyo. 27th of October, ON YOUR MARK AT GHIBLI ASEMAMIRE: Yesterday Japanese radio listeners could the great debaters part 11 again tune into another episode of Suzuki Toshio s radio talk show Ghibli Asemamire at Tokyo FM. As usual, brings coverage and during the week a podcast version will be available for download over here. This week s Ghibli Asemamire guest was none other than Chage of Chage and Asuka fame. Unheard of to many in the West, an introduction to those fond of the works of Studio Ghibli is quite unnecessary; knowing them of course due to Miyazaki s short musical film On Your Mark from 1 In those days Chage and Asuka were in their peak and during this week s Asemamire Suzuki told about the history behind this animated musical. Back then Japan s major audio and the great debaters part 11 soft manufacturer Pony-Canyon was planning the promotion video of C s most famous studio, one of the producers got the idea to ask Ghibli about it. Everyone wondered if they would accept to make just an promotion video, but the person who initiated the idea thought they had nothing to lose and called the studio. Suzuki usually never accepted such orders, but still tried to tell it to Miyazaki, who during those days struggled to make Mononoke Hime s final concept. Based on the original Mononoke idea Miyazaki made 10 years earlier, he was absolutely stuck at it and accepted the offer as a switch of mood. Before that, Studio Ghibli had had a company tour to Nara. There Suzuki, Miyazaki and some others enjoyed a SEGA game arcade. They rode a virtual space simulation and all felt it was amazing. Except for Miyazaki, who told, Im never deceived by such cheap illusions. Interestingly, when Miyazaki started working on the e-conte of On Your Mark, Suzuki found it contained a similar image to that from the SEGA ride. Miyazaki seemed to had taken an idea from it and said, I can make a much better one than that of SEGA. 26th of October, MIYAZAKI TALKS NEXT MOVIE, HOTTA AND PONYO: This week NTV s Zoom in Super talked to Miyazaki Hayao at Kanagawa Museum of Modern Literature, which is currently holding a special Hotta Yoshie Exhibition subtitled The Troublous Times Depicted by Ghibli. Question: Why is Ponyo a kingyo goldfish? Miyazaki: In my first concept, it was a tin frog. However, frog stories are commonplace and as we usually take about 3 years to complete a movie, avoiding trends like that is a necessity. They often become out of date when the movie is finally completed note: Miyazaki refers to popular animations like Kerero Gunso and the older Dokonjo Gaeru. Some time ago, before the TV age, a tin kingyo was very popular as a kid bath toy. So I thought it was better. Miyazaki: That is a difficult question to answer. When I get a book that seems interesting and I dont have to get up early next morning I usually read books in bed Before reading I just smoke and that is the happiest time for me. Or talking about a movie just after I get an idea that can be turned into a movie, that is the most pleasant time. After that, production starts and so does the misery. Question: How about your next movie? Miyazaki: After finishing a movie, I want to make the great debaters part 11 that is quite different. For example, a live action movie might be nice. However, Im sure we cant recover the costs. Itll take a lot of money.
