background introduction
In the summer of 200 1 year, just before Ghibli was about to release Spirited Away, it was announced that they would release two works at the same time in the summer of 2002, one for each person.
A 40-minute novel with 1 hour and a novella with 1 hour 10 minute. The main content of this novella was completed in February 2000, and its name is tentatively named Baron. It can be inferred from the title of the work that it tells a story that happened in the same world as "Listen to the Ear" directed by 1995. This is also the first time Ghibli has released a sister film similar to a sequel, which is quite rare. On March 26th, 2002, at 10 in the morning, a press conference was held in Studio Ghibli-Miyazaki Hayao's office in Xiaojinjing. The voices of the heroine and the theme song singer were announced and the movie story was introduced. Because this film is not directed by Miyazaki Hayao himself, but only in charge of planning, Joe Hisaishi, who has been working with Miyazaki Hayao for many years, is not in charge of music, but Yuji Noda, who used to be the music producer of Listening to Ears, and the theme song "Wind" is sung by Aminai Guo.

The next day, the cats' "gratitude" action began. My friend Guang Mei received many gifts from cats. Koharu's house is covered with foxtail grass; Koharu filled the lockers of the school with "carefully packaged" lively mice; Just as Koharu was dazzled, Elvis Presley's secretary appeared near her house and invited her to the cat country.

About the two cats in the film and the origin of the film.
Cats' Grateful Posters (2 pieces) The two protagonists of cats' gratitude-the cat "Fat" and "Baron" actually appeared in the animation "Listen to the Ear".
There are already nine pictures of cats' gratitude. The DVD "Listen to Your Ear" has a unit "The Story of a Cat's Thanksgiving Birth", which records the origin of this film-at first, a theme park came to Miyazaki Hayao's Studio Ghibli, hoping that Studio Ghibli would make a short film with the theme of "cat" for them. At that time, Miyazaki Hayao had the idea of integrating the cat in Listen to Your Ear into the story. There is a fuzzy cat listening to the ear. This cat is chubby. At that time, Pangpang took the heroine Xiao Yong to an antique shop. Xiao Yong saw a decorated cat named "Baron" in the shop, and the best part of the story began ... So Miyazaki Hayao found the original author of "Listen to Ears", hoping that she could become a Baron and chubby. After the story was decided, the theme park case stopped. However, Miyazaki Hayao didn't want to give up the project. On the one hand, he also wants to give the couple a chance to take the lead through this film. Later, Hiroyuki Morita, who had participated in "Lu Bang III" and "Jun Yamada Next Door", was chosen to be in charge of this film. Hiroyuki Morita's outstanding performance made Studio Ghibli decide to put "Cat's Gratitude" on the big screen, and Hiroyuki Morita naturally became the director of this film.
Behind the scenes of cat gratitude
On July 9, 2002, a press conference was held in Yurakucho, Tokyo. Q: How does Chiwaki feel? There are some screaming dubbing parts in the movie ... it's a bit difficult, because I seldom do such things in my life. But it's completely natural to talk to your close girlfriend about such a scene. Q: Has Mr. Miyazaki Hayao seen the final version of this film?
A: During the filming of Cats, we listened to many opinions from Mr. Miyazaki Hayao in the early planning, and he often gave guidance to seiyuu's performance. Thanksgiving for Cats was completed on July 2nd, and Mr. Miyazaki Hayao watched the film in the screening room in Studio Ghibli on the 4th. At the end of the film, Mr. Miyazaki Hayao took the lead in applauding and said "Well done". (Hiroyuki Morita) Q: Where is the country of cats? A: Actually, I hate cats the most (laughs). As the president of Tokyo Dog Club, my favorite pet is a dog. However, because I voiced Elvis Presley, I gradually felt the cuteness of cats. I played Elvis Presley, a wayward cat, which was actually similar to myself. (Elvis Presley seiyuu: Zhelang Tamba)

A brief comment on the passage edited by the cat's gratitude
"When the cat baron shouted,' Koharu! "Are you going to throw yourself away?" All the potential horror feelings in Cat Country are so clear at this moment. Not only does Koharu want to escape, but we also want to escape from daily life. "-"Asahi Shimbun "reporter Uchida Jiuguang commented. In fact, when this scene appeared, including the bridge design of "If you don't escape from the unknown border in the dark, you will sink forever in the future", it reminded me of Nie Hening and the old demon of Montenegro for the first time.
This is a bit ridiculous. Let's take a look at the companion piece "Listen to the Ear" of "Cat". I wonder if you still remember that chubby cat who can only take the subway and Xiao Xia walked into the antique shop. In this film, Miyazaki Hayao is the screenwriter and producer, and the director is the young Kangde Fangwen. Comparatively speaking, Listening to Ears is a story about two young children seeking their spiritual potential. However, last year's "Spirited Away" is still this time's "Return the Cat's Color", and the focus of the story is more on the guidance and rescue of nature or animals to the human mind. Even if you pin your dreams on your children, you should arrange a natural messenger to lead the way again. This kind of work seems to be more helpless than "human beings are not qualified to survive" in "City in the Sky".

Chinese translation
Turn into a gust of wind
I have forgotten to close my eyes, find the lost love song hidden in the blue sky, and reach out and touch it again. Don't forget to come back to me as soon as possible Whenever I am here, I will look up at the stars in the sky alone until dawn. Don't be too sad about your sigh. I will turn it into spring breeze. The bicycle on the sunny slope contains the memories I lost with you. Lala sings in a low voice to dye your lips with colorful colors, just like the happy flowers you found together. I forgot to open the window and started. The song of love holds my hands high, and I can't forget it again. As long as you are here and come back to me, no matter which day, the stars will still shine in the tears of tomorrow. Just a sentence. Now I just hold it in my arms for you. Today I am still blown by the spring breeze. On the sunny slope, the bike is loaded with memories lost with you. La la la la la, singing in a low voice, makes the lips colorful. Just like the happy flowers I found with you, I pray that happiness will meet you. Pray for happiness to meet you. The pronunciation of Rome is: te it me o to ji te tori modose koinoota. Qingdao Ai is one of the most famous female writers in Japan, and also one of the most famous female writers in Japan. When I was there, I saw a boy and a boy. His name was a boy, a famous Japanese singer, who was born in 6544. Her early music was mostly folk-style sketches with a small ukulele, which made her feel like she was in an idyllic beach. Since 2000, the album has been released at the rate of one per year and has been well received. Especially after her "Into a gust of wind" was selected as the theme song of Ghibli animation "Thanksgiving for Cats", her singing gradually became familiar to us. Fresh, natural and full of the temperament of the girl next door, music is so pure in the flashy and noisy pop music scene. Some critics have commented that her music is "leaving the troubles behind", "soothing the lost mood" and "rekindling the enthusiasm of life", which really deserves the reputation of a healing female singer. Her name has been translated into Chinese in several versions. In 2003, when her album Song in the Wind was introduced to China, it was written as "Guo Aminai", which was regarded as an official translation.
Adapted by China
The theme song was covered by Fish Leong and adapted into "Little Hands Hold Big Hands", which was included in the album "Kissing".
