The work that will decorate the first Friday Road Show in 2022 is Studio
Ghibli’s “Spirited Away.”
Hayao Miyazaki is in charge of the original, screenplay, and director. He has won numerous awards, including the Grand Prix Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Animated Film. He has achieved a box office revenue of 31.68 billion yen. It is a famous immovable work that has held the number one box office revenue in Japan for about 20 years since its release in 2001.
And from February 2022, stage performances by Kanna Hashimoto and Mone Kamishiraishi will be decided.
Animating the highlights of this work for broadcasting at the Friday Road Show this time! Anime! Introduced by the editorial department. Whether you are watching it for the first time or after a long time, please check it out!
Pay attention to the voice actor cast! Kamiki-Kun’s famous performance when he was young.
Rumi Hiiragi, Miyu Irino, Mari Natsuki, and others are cast of voice actors. The mysterious boy Haku, the critical point of the work, is played by Mr. Irino, known for “Kingdom Hearts” Sora, “Haikyu !!” Takashi Sugawara, and “Osomatsu-san” Matsuno Todomatsu. The voices at that time are different from now, so please compare them.
In addition, Ryunosuke Kamiki is probably the one who has a more pronounced change in voice. Mr. Kamiki is currently 28 years old (as of January 2022), but he was eight years old when the movie was released. Mr. Kamiki played a vast baby, Bo. He is a character with a strange appearance and a feeling of intimidation like a boss character, but he is healed by the appearance of speaking with a cute voice.
In addition to this, gorgeous actors such as Takashi Naito, Yasuko Sawaguchi, and Yo Oizumi are on the same page.
Do you forget once you see it? Characters full of individuality
The main character of this work is Chihiro, a 10-year-old girl. I get lost in a mysterious tunnel with her parents. There are many youkai-like creatures in the city she arrived at. A frog who speaks in clothes, a two-headed grandmother with a big face, a sunglasses bearded man with many arms, and so on. They all have strong individuality, and when a 10-year-old girl confronts them, they are likely to tremble and run away.
Even though she is in a different world, Chihiro will show guts and work.
Her place of employment is a bathhouse, “Ayuya.” She is Chihiro who cleans the bath and guides customers, but in reality, this “oil shop” was a public bath where gods gathered.
God, but it looks strange from the human eye. And Chihiro will be in charge of a stinky and muddy customer, but what kind of god is she? Even an unfamiliar customer will want to support Chihiro, who works hard.
In addition, Chihiro, who works hard, and “Kaonashi,” who has a white “face” on a black and slender body, are also enthusiastic fans!? Is he a “god” wrapped in a mystery? His “approach” to Chihiro is also a highlight of this work.
“Delicious food” in a mysterious world
Chihiro and his friends have entered a mysterious world, but the food looks delicious.
The rice is so attractive that her parents, who found a food stall that “smells good” as soon as they entered the tunnel, ate it without permission.
Indeed, the pile of dishes looks delicious, but Chihiro’s father is eating “mysterious buyobuyo,” and fans are often engaged in discussion battles.
Maybe it’s different from what you’re eating here? I think that, but the rice balls that Haku held to encourage Chihiro were very ordinary. The appearance of eating while shedding tears and tears from anxiety and the kindness of Haku makes me feel, “Do your best, Chihiro!” And at the same time, “Onigiri looks delicious.”
In addition, there are various food scenes, such as the scene where Susuwatari flocks to konpeito and the scene where they eat black-grilled newt. Please enjoy “Spirited Away” at the beginning of the year while paying attention to this.
