"The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" (2006), "Summer Wars" (2009), Saito YuIchiro's producer Crossed Mamoru Hosoda and the tag in the "Wolf Children" (2012). Two people is a hit maker, the latest work "a child of the monster" to get started for the first time in three years, and stage a "Shibuya" until summer 2015 from 2006, the boy alone became a disciple of the monster, human story going grown while coming and going to the field and the monster world. In this interview, welcomed the Saito's producer, told from the desire to challenge the "summer of the animated film", I want to tell the latest installment to the "existence of a new family", unwind during their charm with the movie "child of the monster." which I was asked. Well, the big city, Shibuya location - the reason you chose as tion ---.

Exciting, I wanted to challenge the royal road of the animated movie of the summer

_ His fourth of the Mamoru Hosoda director, could you briefly describe your story of the latest?

Unbroken followed, some of the history of the animated movie of the summer, "I met something strange things and the world," "and the boy adventure in the summer." "And the boy becomes an adult." There are a number of royal road called. But in recent years, including also Mamoru Hosoda work, but female hero thing I had many, boy thing called summer animated film that was a hero is, or not than was much no maybe. If so now, or not there is significance to challenge in the summer of animated film that was a hero boy. Perhaps, in the animated film of memories that colored the summer of you also, I think in such things is what this one. Speaking at Hosoda supervision of generations and "Galaxy Express 999", such as I'm sure many are for the audience of everyone Isao Takahata director and director Hayao Miyazaki works. After all exciting, there is a tremendous public nature to enrich the childhood to the animated film that children and adults can enjoy together. I would like the aim of such work Hosoda coach and I thought. And, it as a training thing, as a pseudo-parent-child thing, I thought I want to do in the action movie that was exhilarating.

To be _ apprenticeship movie.

In meeting with Kumate', it begins training of KyuFutoshi.

One day, a boy who met Kumate' (Kumatetsu) is a monster is, and the apprentice to bear Toru seeking strength. Boy in communal life through the apprenticeship is gradually growing, their relationship is also going to give a bond, such as the obsession really parent and child. Among them, the major event that plunge to a certain time crisis the world both human and monster resulting in the outbreak. In the boy's growth process because the crisis, events that process takes place is a chance to everyone through adult. For that crisis, the boy how to get over it, or going to open up its own life. At that time, a teacher, an adult, and monster that such obtained a bond like a real parent and child is, what is raised by what was on the growth and determination of the boy. I think that it is such a story.

Have been made in the three-year period _ in the past from "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" to the latest work, and every time, it has been screened in the summer.

I agree. But because the movie is really one by one, that was able to watch a previous work, "Wolf Children" to a lot of people, also took the opportunity to get to make a movie. Among them, also sincerely We will appreciate that having you to publish a movie this summer. Really special season I summer, I think also like the season to be prompted what the growth. And in the summer there is a long history that has continued unbroken called "watch the animated film with everyone." In that context, we also enjoy children and adults together, I would like to a straight new challenge in the middle. After you have finished watching a movie, even if to eat rice alone, even to eat the rice together with friends and family, very delicious rice to eat. I want to make that kind of movie. Hosoda director of the movie is also one of the movie philosophy that it should serve the public interest.

_ Previous work in Toyama, in Nagano Prefecture Ueda, "Summer Wars" before that, the past work, but I was a country on the stage, the big city, Shibuya in reversal this time. Why did you choose to stage the Shibuya?

Director also had to talk somewhere, but as well as the nature, I wanted to be a challenge to draw the beauty of the city. Also terrain called "cone-shaped" in the city of Shibuya felt very interesting attractive, because I think it was one of the reasons.

In _ topographical reasons?

I agree. There are a variety of diversity in the mortar, culture and fashion, also vitality going create, such as a new sense of values, there is a town called Shibuya. This is you personal thoughts, I think that there is a thing called "growth" as one of the important keywords of this movie. And if it is not to be paraphrased as "change". Shibuya also is up to this, and also should be noted, does not always willing to change now, it seems also as such a town. That's why, such as culture and new values ​​are born. Always without fear of change, what town to positive changes that the growth is there in Shibuya, because dynamism of the change, there is one that leads to the movie. It seems to like that.

The child's growth, whether such should face if the adults and society

_ Previous work is parent and child, but it was the form of mother and child, in the flow, do I now thought that try to draw the relationship between teacher and student, that the father and son, which is not connected with blood?

It was not the sort of thing. Hosoda director, joy and problems that are happening in my family, I believe that what is happening in the world of the family. That's why, for example, his or her family of joy is also the joy of the world of the family, also If you can solve their own family problems, it may be able to solve even the world family problems. Staring at the world from the perspective through the familiar experience that said so, and to make a movie, using the movie function, we want to share the conscious people and the joy and problems around the world. This I also I think that's one of the movie philosophy of Hosoda supervision. Speaking from this perspective, an opportunity of this movie, this is as you have also said director himself, and that the child was born to the director, the director himself has become the most of the motivation is the fact that has become a father I think. Previous work, "Wolf Children" is a summary for the mother of the production the way to the coach that has been passed away of "Summer Wars", was a sometime work that he was also born from the longing to become a parent. "Child of the monster" is, in the line of sight stare the growth of my child, would be What is adult I parent. I wonder, such does it mean I become an adult. Big in the transformation to society, such that the encouragement of children to live in the future, blessed the growth, I want to make a movie, such as affirming the future. Also we adults and society, what to be raised with respect to the children's growth and future? With the encouragement and blessing feeling, I want to praise the children's growth. I thought would like to think of while making the movie such a thing is, I think that was the starting point.

_ Hosoda director himself becomes a father, that's the middle of the child-rearing, it is exactly what ever been in such a process.

Although I of course some do the eyes of his father, I personally, I do think a child is a thing to grow in response to the blessing and influence of many more people. For example, people who called Hyakuakibo (hundred Shubo) and Tatara to appear in this movie (Tatara), also maple (maple) is, of course, I think I'm not a real parent of KyuFutoshi (Kyuta). But began to bear Toru, such a people KyuFutoshi everyone is going to be brought up. Everyone is like a has been blessed encourage growth of KyuFutoshi, that kind of thing is and I think we need a child's growth. Reverse to encourage children, also side that is brought up, I think from the growth of the children learned a lot of things, and I go together to grow. And, I think from born relationships and ties from there, and he can also be fit taste the richness of a lot of joy and life. It much, we adults are facing a child's growth, because it involved is a great thing, I think is that important.
