2-5/15 PRINCESS MONONOKE [Backstage]w/EnglishSub

In this 5th episode of the 2nd series, we see how the climax scene of Princess Mononoke turns out to be like after the tremendous struggles Miyazaki's been through.
Then next appear Ghibli Producer Toshio Suzuki and a trailer production's Itagaki-san, who share with us the backstage stories of making Princess Mononoke's ''Trailer'' which includes the shocking scenes of a pair of arms getting cut, a head decapitated...
Later, all the Public Relations' professionals for advertising Princess Mononoke gather in Atami, Shizuoka to talk out and get the optimum Ad Strategies. Producer Suzuki stresses out the PR reps' basic understanding of the work is essential before anything else. Each comments on how they thought or felt reading Mononoke's storyboards. Their all being professional in advertising or PR area but holding each unique (and sometimes funny) standpoint is somewhat intriguing to listen to.
Enjoy this great series anyhow then ( ;

NOTE)
In the trailer there's a phrase ''A total of 110,000 Sheets'' but it's turned out to be more than that it seems...
''Miyazaki personally checked each of the 144,000 cels in the film, and is estimated to have redrawn parts of 80,000 of them.''

How much is 50 billion yens compare to Dollars?

[riezbien]

Actually their sales objective was 5 billion yens (on the blackboard reads ''50 Oku Yens'' but ''Oku'' is the Japanese numeric unit equivalent of hundred million or 1/10 billion)

Back to your question: since 1 USD = 110 JPY approximately so 5 billion JPY is about 45 million USD.

[riezbien]

Oh, it seems Ghibli's objective for their ''net income'' was 5 billion yens (=45 million USD), not for the sales...sorry!

[TROLLERSDELIGHT]

Yea I really would love to have sat in on that P.R meeting.

I saw this as a pre-teen and at the time it was one of my first real japanese animated productions and to describe it, I'd say it was Wonderful not as in Happy, but as in Eyes Wide Open.

本編でも「あの子は人間だぞ」だと思いますが・・・

[kokusanohtsubu]

予告編「あの子は人間だぞ」っていってる

本編では「あの子は人間だ」だよね。きっと後々弱いって思ったん­だろうね。

あと予告編の音楽、本編の音楽とまるで雰囲気違うね。ターミネー­ターか！

まだ作品ができていなかっただけあって宣伝会議のメンバーが掴ん­でる作品像が実際にできた作品と大分ずれてるね。「サンに感情移­入できていない」って言ってるし。グロイなんてのは完成作を見れ­ばほとんど感じないよね。そんなことより心に残ることばかりだか­ら。祟り神の目を矢が貫くシーンは例外か。

when they talk about the teaser trailer on 4.02, the da-dan-dan-da-dan part, that song. What is it what Studio Ghibli album is it from or the name of the song will help. Thanks
