Mai Kuraki to sing the theme song for Majo no Takkyubin, new trailer revealed

1： 禿の月φ ★ 2013/12/10(火) 04:17:14.09 ID:???P

New information has surfaced about the live action version of Majo no Takkyubin, as the main theme song of which will be sung by singer Mai Kuraki.

Yumi Matsutoya sang the theme song for the 1989 anime movie, while Mai Kuraki's composition "Wake me up" will be used for this version.

It's got the sense of speed that perfectly suits the main character Kiki as she flies freely throughout the vast sky, and even director Takashi Shimizu showed his satisfaction for the piece saying, "It immediately struck a chord the moment I listened to it". He further comments: "Not only does it fit the image of the movie, but it's also a transparent and energetic number that represents 'new beginnings', perfect for Kuraki-san's 15th anniversary in the industry". "This is a story that everyone knows so I am definitely feeling the pressure, but I was given courage by her as I felt that she was taking on this massive challenge together with me. I may be known as a horror movie director, but I hope to go for a new kind of 'wake me up!!' in this movie together with her singing voice."

Kuraki's comments on the song: "I wrote the lyrics with the thought of not giving up whatever may happen, and to do things that are true to oneself". "As for the sound, I sang the song while imagining Kiki-chan riding a broom and flying across the sky."

They're using PaKuraki?

*(play on "pakuri" and Kuraki. Pakuri means "rip-off")

The girl who plays the lead looks so filthy. Will she look cute if they fix her up?

アニメ版と同じなら実写化する意味薄いとは思うが

実写化は冒険だなあ

原作はどんな話なんだ？

キキが結婚するとか聞いたが
I do think that it would have been pointless if it was the same as the anime version, but doing a live action adaptation is like taking an adventure. What was the original story like? I heard that Kiki would get married in that one.

どうせ、ルパン三世の実写化のときの理屈のように

現代では、箒にまたがって空を飛ぶのは現実的ではないので設定を少し変えたとかないの
They might once again let their weird logic run about like in Lupin III and say that it's not realistic in this day and age to hop on board a broom and fly in the sky, and so they'll change the premise

魔女の宅急便と倉木の15周年と何の関係があるの？

そういう大人の事情を絡めるから映画がつまらなくなるんじゃないの？

So how are Majo no Takkyubin and Mai Kuraki's 15th anniversary connected?
Don't movies become boring because they always include these "adult circumstances" in?

内容は当然劣化するとして

映像でも25年前のアニメに勝ててない

誰得

Let's assume that the story will be a deteriorated version of the original.
But the visuals itself still cannot beat a 25-year-old anime. So seriously, who'd want this?

34： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/12/10(火) 05:08:18.15 ID:BTrQvKIM0

人物と背景がなじんでないっていうか

異和感たっぷりだったなー

んーー

The characters and the background don't feel like they blend with one another.
It's just awkwardness all around.

Uhnn---

トトロとかもののけ姫を実写化しようってならまだわかるんだが、なんで魔女の宅急便なんだよ

オール日本人であの空気感が出るわけがないってのに

I would have understood it if they wanted to make live versions of Totoro or Mononoke, but why did they choose Majo no Takkyubin?

There's no way you can recreate that atmosphere with an all-Japanese cast.

38： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/12/10(火) 05:22:01.31 ID:ZW3fLX2s0

予告編見たけど舞台が西洋の街じゃなくて単なる日本の田舎の島になったんだな。

やはり「海外撮影は経費がかかる」「邦画のCG技術力だと街中でホウキで飛ばすのは無理」ってことなのかな。

うーん今の日本の実写映画ってすべてが安っぽさしか感じなくて観てて切なくなる。

I saw the trailer. So it isn't set in a Western town, but a rural island in Japan?
So does it mean that "shooting overseas will cost too much" and "it will be impossible for Japan's current CG abilities to make brooms fly over a town"?

All Japanese movies right now just feel so cheap, it really makes me sad looking at these.

いやいや　思ったよりいいじゃん

やっぱり演技力を考えると小学生の女の子には無理だ

Nahhh, this is much better than what I expected.
You can't just cast a gradeschooler if you're looking for acting skills.

やるじゃん

月曜ドラマランドで流れても遜色ないレベル！

Not bad.
It wouldn't look bad at all even if you show it on Getsuyou Dramaland.

So what was that trailer where she was going into a regular school ground all about?

A joke?

服装とか家の中の小物とかはちょっとヨーロッパ風（原作風）、登場人物とか建物とかは完全に日本

なんか、よく出来た「魔女の宅急便やってみた」を見てるみたいな気分になる

Their clothes and the little objects and trinkets inside the house look European (like the original), while the characters and the buildings are entirely Japanese.
It makes me feel that I'm watching a well done "I tried imitating Majo no Takkyubin" parody.

アニメの実写化で成功例ってあるの？

The CG staggers too much, it's horribly done.
Even Ghibli fans won't be watching this w
Are there any success stories of a live action adaptation of an anime?

I rate Cutie Honey which they did on late night Tokyo TV.
It was good; it was different from the original and the anime.

Something like Peter Pan.

ジブリに寄せると絶対ダメだわな

Uhmm, I think I would have endured watching it if she was flying over Tokyo and getting isolated.
Nothing good will just come out of it if they try to make it close to Ghibli's version.

ファンの皆さんは別次元の「新魔女の宅急便」として鑑賞するのが正解かもしれません

もしかしたら現場のパワーで大傑作になっているかもしれませんよ！
The correct way for fans to appproach this is by treating it as an entirely new Majo no Takkyubin from a different dimension. It could become a grand masterpiece with the help of the staff and everyone on the set!
