There is no full version, but the six-minute MV tells everything that is enough to touch our numb nerves and let our distant dreams fly. The prototypes of the two protagonists in the film are CHAGE and ASKA. As agents of the future world, they rescued a beautiful angel in an operation to destroy a cult organization, but the angel was quickly taken away by the human research organization. In order to restore the angel's freedom, CHAGE and ASKA started their rescue plan. After breaking through many obstacles, they finally let the injured angel fly again in the vast plain, and flew into the blue sky that was a bit dazzling.
The style of the entire short film continues the ideal picture of Hayao Miyazaki's animation. The core elements such as flying, women, machines, nature, and the future have been almost perfectly integrated and expressed in just six minutes. I think Hayao Miyazaki's films have a "transcendence" charm. He won't simply talk about love, good and evil, and magic, but to transcend all these and integrate his feminist philosophy into the delicate style of painting. . When the angel is about to fly away from CHAGE and them, I believe there will be sadness, joy, hope, and something very pure, filling the hearts of the viewers.
Speaking of music, CHAGE&ASKA's voice is very penetrating, and the melody of the song is also very atmospheric, with the usual passionate style of Japanese anime music. Only after GOOGLE did I know that CHAGE&ASKA has become a veritable evergreen tree in the Japanese music scene since its debut in 1979, and many of the long-sung Chinese songs are cover from CHAGE&ASKA's classic songs. For example, Zhou Huajian's "Let Me Happy, Let Me Worry", and Na Ying's "It's Better to Miss When We Meet". In short, the six-minute On Your Mark is worth revisiting and cherishing.
