風立ちぬ The Wind Rise
I saw a film of Hayao Miyazaki. 風立ちぬ "The Wind Rise" last week. This is last film that he produce. All character in his film are single-minded. Japanese that the characters speak in it is so polite and beautiful. There are people who criticize this film. However, I like it simply as a story of an architect of airplane. He loves airplane and his dream is flying in the air. This period that he lived is during hostilities.
Also I enjoy a love story. I sniffled. Young couple are so pure and single-minded.
The song in ending is ひこうき雲 (hikoukigumo) "contrail" The singer is 松任谷由実 Yumi Matsutoya. and superstar in J-pop for a long time. We call her Yuming ユーミン She makes a lot of albums and hit songs in Japan. She sings in Stagio Ghibli's film, 魔女の宅急便 "やさしさに包まれたなら" Yasashisani Tsutsumaretanara Her lyric is especially great and emotional. I love a lot of her songs. If you learn Japanese, her lyrics is so beautiful and might be useful for learning Japanese.
I hope you can see this film in your country near future in the theater.

Two Big Topics
Recently we heard two big topics about Japan. One is that Japanese animation director Hayao Miyazaki retired.
http://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2013/09/07/editorials/an-anime-icon-retires/
Another is Tokyo won the competition for Olympic game in 2020.
http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2013/09/08/national/tokyo-wins-bid-to-host-2020-olympics/
We are so sad for his retirement. A lot of children and even adults are big fan for his animation film. We enjoy the story and are touched his message for our life, sometimes warning about egoism of human nature for nature. His delicate and beautiful pictures always give an impact to our heart.
We hope being the host country of Olympic game leads to economic effect for Japan. I am glad to see a lot of games in our hometown Tokyo ! Foreign people were worried about nuclear problem in Fukushima. However I live in Tokyo and we are safe. It is no problem. (I am worried about big earthquake.)
I think two topics are symbolic for our present society. Nature and economy are very important for our life. We must not forget that we can live thanks to nature. And we feel happy economically and emotionally.
