銀河鉄道の夜 -Night On The Milky Way Train
This story is written by Kenji Miyazawa, one of the most popular authors in Japan.
I read this story again and again in my childhood.
And also, I still sometimes turn over and glance at the pages.
Miyazawa is my most favorite author.
I love not only his works, but also his lifestyle and his way of thinking.
----------------------------------------------
By the way, do you know the animation movie of this story?
Not talking about "the Galaxy Express 999".
There is an animation movie of "Night On The Milky Way Train" .
It was shown in １９８５.
The features that differentiate this movie from the original is
the design of the characters.
They are designed as a cats.
Many people surprised with this character design then.
The reason for this unbelievable change is the designer "Hiroshi Masumura" who is a big fan of Kenji.
He is a comic author, and his characters are normally, the impersonated animals.(especially cats)
In addition, Masumura translated a lot of Miyazawa's work into manga. Most of them are in the Masumura-style.
If you have a chance, I hope you to read them, too.
Any way, the movie is attractive with charming characters and beautiful music.
I'm sure you will find a new good aspect of the Japanese animation movies.
------------------------
Incidentally, the voice actor who played a role of the main character is a same person as the voice actor of Ruffy in "One Piece". I think you can also have a new impression on Mayumi Tanaka's voice.

>> Yulin : He must be the true person who has a sense of wonder. I love Reiji Matsumoto's "Galaxy Express 999", too. His Sense of Wonder is amazing, too.

>> dorayaki87 : 奇遇！（・∀・） His thought always focused on the peoples happiness, so, sometimes his mind go through the universe or across some religions. I respect him. In Japan, you can watch some of Kenji's stories in planetarium because some of his stories are related to the stars. They are all beautiful. I recommend them too.

Kenji Miyazawa was a kaleidoscope of strange sights and impressions in my mind.
His lofty ideals about life remind me to clear some desolate belief. If I were there, I think I will tell him, hey boy, you should be special but not specially against the social rules... And maybe, one step closer becoming a wise man? It's critical.
I love this article ^^
And Leiji Matsumoto is a funny old fellow.
When you are old enough, I will hold your hands and sit in the sun roasting yourself, hahaha... where is the sun cream?
