As always, there is a Miyazaki-style moving, but unexpectedly, this moving is extremely strong.

No spoilers. Let's talk about color and music.

Bright, bright, full, and thick, whether it is a natural landscape or an artificial interior, as long as you look at those beautiful pictures, your heart seems to be filled and brightened. Even though there is a violent storm, I know that it will be sunny again after that.

If Joe Hisaishi's music is like a dexterous female cat with shiny fur, then this time (sorry for not noticing who is in charge of the music...) may feel like it is about to mature but the fur has not yet receded. the little beast. The catalytic effect of music has contributed a lot to the place where I almost couldn't help myself several times. And at the end of the last movie, no one left, until finally "おわり", and finally the music and the screen were silent together.

    Shawn: I never saw her again. But the following summer I returned and was happy to hear the people in the house down the road talking about how many things in their home had gone missing.
