Regarding the film "Suzume no Tojimari," according to one reporter, the fact that Munakata Hitsujiro’s right arm is gone is strange…
Makoto Shinkai’s film "Suzume no Tojimari" was supposed to have had its first terrestrial broadcast on Friday Roadshow (a Friday-night movie slot on Nippon TV) on March 8, 2024. The author now lives without a TV, but I read in online news that Suzume no Tojimari would be broadcast on terrestrial TV that weekend, so I thought, well then maybe I’ll watch it too, and I rented it on Amazon Prime and watched it. When I looked at my order history, I had rented it on March 6, 2024. (By the way, when I checked the data of screenshots on my smartphone, there was also news on March 8 that the U.S. Embassy in Moscow had notified the Russian authorities of a terror alert by extremists. After that, on March 22, 2024, there occurred a mass shooting at a concert venue in the suburbs of Moscow, leaving 145 dead and 551 injured.) In fact, Suzume no Tojimari had its first Friday Roadshow broadcast on April 5, 2024. I experienced something similar back in elementary school with Studio Ghibli’s "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea" directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and with my mother, I argued for about two hours, citing concrete and detailed episodes, that I had unmistakably already watched it once, but the conversation didn’t get through, and in the end when I said, "You know how people say that when you live a long time, sometimes strange things happen? Well, for me, this is that kind of story, you get it?" my mother finally accepted it, which is something that happened.
