• Why is the scenery several years ago stages?
  

Scenery of the Seiseki-Sakuragaoka hopes for the direction of the Seiseki-Sakuragaoka station taking a picture in 1996 (Here is a region referred for setting the movie.)

"Whisper of the Heart" was opened to the public in July, 1995. The story is supposed to have progressed from the summer of 1994 to the autumn. However, the background of the story might be done after the model of the scenery several years ago.

First of all, surrounding of Seiseki-sakuragaoka station, the scenery of the town of 10 years ago was drawn as the supervisor was admitting. The reason is that the building stood too much. Moreover, it is almost completed to control the collection of books by the bar code in a present library. But, it is a little like behind the times in this story because I will prepare the control hereafter.

The railway model is Keio-Teito electric railway. However, the situation is still adopted several years ago. Most examinations of tickets of a present station are automatic operations. In this story, the station employee was still in the examination of tickets. Moreover, the vehicle of the model has already retired. It exists only in the branch line.

It can be said that it is suitable to open the movie to the public to 1990 beginning of the year head when this setting is observed.

Old model vehicle of Keio train This model that became the model of the movie that was retired all. It only runs in detail in the branch line.

Though the original was serialized in 1989, it was an autumn of 93 years that the original had been adopted for the first time at the plan conference for making into a film. And, the movie was opened to the public in the summer of 1995. I think that it was lucky from a consequential viewpoint of this for the work. If made promptly into a film, the content of the movie might have changed largely.

The age when the original was serialized was popular the things which were not produced, the dealings of land, stocks, and picture. The age was called so-called bubble business. Moreover, it was said as dark and trivial that to be extolled and to make an effort honestly. A young generation is not free from this atmosphere, too. I think that the following key words were not understood until the bubble age ended, to produce things, to make an effort hard.

"Whisper of the Heart" is exactly suited in the age. It is a reason to have dared to draw the scenery several years ago.

• Which generation will feel familiarity most in works?
  

Spectacle in Tama hill The scenery has always changed. It changes a little for several years. However, the generation by which the change can be felt is limited.

This movie is made for a young generation. However, the junior high school student who are the same age as characters cannot understand this movie so much. It is thought that the a little further generation suits this movie. Because, the child lacks power by which the change in the age still actually feels. One of key words in the movie is a change. As for the stage of the movie, the scenery several years ago is adopted. Being possible to notice to a little change for several years until present is a generation above. If it is not this generation, the change will be not able to be actually felt to change an average town and controll the book by the bar code.

The generation by which youth had been spent in the bubble age got on the flow in the age. As for this generation, when the bubble age collapses, their standpoint has not been understood because the experience of the life is shallow. They lost sight of a firm purpose. Here, they saw the movie and received further impression. The reason for characters of the movie is to be too splendid. If there was no bubble age, they also thought whether to have obtained steadier youth.

Leaving aside what one intend by Mr. Miyazaki, it is imagined that this movie suits the recollection of the generation by which the age of youth has been spent by chance in the bubble age most.

• Does the apartment of a housing complex become a Japanese field sceneryat the present age?
  

Tama-New Town In general, it is far from the station and traffic is inconvenient. The reason that here was a remote place-hill.

Scenery of "Danchi" Apartment of a housing complex, became model of movie. Walking from here to the station needs a serious labor.

Distant view of "Danchi" Apartment of a housing complex with water supply tower. As for a young generation which grows up in the apartment of a housing complex, it is likely to think this scenery my hometown.
