“I watch the films when they’re shown on TV but parts are cut in the TV versions so I can’t wait for this!” “They should make this a recurrent thing and do it once every ten years.” “The only thing that would make this better is if they screened Laputa and My Neighbour Totoro as well.”

Starting from 26 June, four Studio Ghibli movies will be on the big screen at 372 cinemas around the country. One of those places is the cinema, and the country’s leading movie theatre chain, Toho Cinemas, has just secured a distribution deal that looks set to have audiences filling seats around the country. Whether people feel safe enough to congregate with others in enclosed public spaces is a whole other story, though, so every effort is being made to entice people back to the places they once loved again. Now, the country is slowly opening back up, cautiously testing the waters of the new normal as people are being allowed to gather in increasingly larger groups. During that time, all sorts of entertainment venues like theme parks, galleries, live houses and movie theatres were closed, and as people sheltered in place they couldn’t help but wonder if those little luxuries they took for granted would ever be the same again. It’s been just over two months since Japan was placed under a state of emergency to help stop the spread of coronavirus. A sure-fire way to lure moviegoers back to theatres after the height of the pandemic.
