「私とスタジオジブリ 」

私にとってスタジオジブリはとても大切な映画の会社です。最初見たジブリの映画は「崖の上のポニョ」ですが、私の1番大好きなジブリの映画は「千と千尋の神隠し」です。ポニョは色々なしきさいにあふれていて、音楽がとてもきれいでした。でも、ポニョの物語はあまり面白くなかったと思います。好きだったけど、あまりかんどうしませんでした。ポニョより千と千尋の神隠しの方が好きです。高校生の時に千と千尋の神隠しを初めて見ました。色がきれいだったし、ほんかくてきなアニメーションだったし、忘れられなかったです。千と千尋の神かしを何回も見ましたが、今見ても大好きです。私と千尋の経験は同じみたいだと思います。たとえば、映画では千尋はひっこしをして、さびしそうでした。私も、子供の時、家族とよくひっこししました。千尋は悲しくて、友達に会いたかったです。そして、千尋の両親は千尋の気持ちを気にしなかったし、よく考えませんでした。映画の始めに、千尋は両親とけんかしました。私も両親とけんかしたことがあります。この理由で私は千尋の気持ちがわかってとてもかんどうしました。 千と千尋の神隠しを見た時、日本語を勉強し始めていましたが、映画を見た後で、日本語に本当に興味を持つようになりました。日本語をりゅうちょうに話したいと思いました。日本語はとてもきれいな言語で、文化にも興味があります。今の大学で日本語を専攻して、毎日日本語を勉強しているので、少し上手になっていると思います。今、ぐたい的な夢があります。旅行したいし、新しい人と知り合いたいし、世界を見たいです。スタジオジブリの千と千尋の神隠しのおかげで、夢を見つけられました。日本語を勉強してよかったです。それに、今の大学で友達が作れてよかったです。いつか、日本に行きたいです。2023年の春、留学するつもりです。日本に行ったら、三鷹の森ジブリ美術館に行きたいです。

“Me and Studio Ghibli“

When I was a high school student, I discovered Studio Ghibli, and it inspired me to major in Japanese. English Translation: To me, Studio Ghibli is a very important film company. The first Ghibli movie I watched was Ponyo, but my favorite Ghibli movie is Spirited Away. In Ponyo, there were many flowing colors, and the music was very pretty. But, I don’t think Ponyo’s storyline is very interesting. I liked it, but I was not very moved. I like Spirited Away more than Ponyo. When I was a high school student, I watched Spirited Away for the first time. The colors were beautiful, and the animation felt life-like, so it was unforgettable. Even though I have watched Spirited Away many times over, I love it when I watch it now, too. I think that Chihiro and I have similar experiences. For example, in the movie, Chihiro was moving, and she seemed lonely. When I was a kid, I also moved frequently with my family. Chihiro was sad, and she missed her friends. Also, Chihiro’s parents did not care or think about her feelings very often. At the beginning of the movie, Chihiro fought with her parents. I also have experience with fighting with my parents. I was able to relate to and understand Chihiro’s feelings, so for that reason I was very moved. When I watched Spirited Away, I was already studying Japanese, but after watching the movie, I really gained more of an interest in Japanese. I thought, “I want to speak fluent Japanese.” Japanese is a very beautiful language, and I am interested in culture as well. At the college I am currently at, I am majoring in Japanese; since I study Japanese every day, I think that I am becoming better little by little. Now, I have a concrete dream. I want to travel, become acquainted with new people, and I want to see the world. Thanks to Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away, I was able to find a dream. I’m glad that I started studying Japanese. Also, I am glad that I was able to make friends at my college. Someday, I want to go to Japan. In Spring of 2023, I plan on studying abroad. If I go to Japan, I want to go to the Mitaka Ghibli Museum.
