Kawade Shobo Shinsha Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo/Representative Director: Yu Onodera) has produced an essay titled “Experience”, which is a collection of actresses who were fascinated by Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki and who left a strong impression on him, as well as his thoughts on the works in which they appeared. ‘Actress Theory’ will be published on September 27, 2024. ■“Experiential Actress Theory” obi recommendation comment It’s a refreshingly backward-looking book. There was once a time when you could talk about movies by talking about actresses. Definitely recommended for people over 70 who can remember those times. But, Toshi-chan. Because you’re like that, you still don’t realize the true nature of the movie. But now it’s too late, and to tell the truth I also think that the actress is at the center of the movie. –Mamoru Oshii (film director) ■About “Experiential Actress Theory” “Experiential Actress Theory” is based on the popular series “New Movie Hobby: Experiential Actress Theory” published every week in “Nikkan Gendai” (Interviewer: Makoto Kanazawa / April 6, 2021 – May 5, 2024) It has been re-edited and published as a book. The series, which started during the production of the movie “How Do You Live?”, says, “If you had that free time, you should do movies more seriously.” As he himself reflects, his past film experiences have had a great influence on the author and on Ghibli’s works.” (From the afterword of this book) You can see it. I feel that Ms. Kaji has always lived her life as an actress with great
enthusiasm, trying to reach greater heights and reveal a new version of herself, without always staying with one image. (From page 21 of this book)

Reiko — is a passion story that focuses on over 50 heroines that the author was fascinated by and was captivated by, as well as great actors, directors, screenwriters, and a passion for video work that never loses its luster. A large number of essays. This book is a must-read for lovers of old and new Japanese films, as well as Ghibli movie fans, as it is written in detail from both the perspectives of an unparalleled movie buff and a Studio Ghibli producer. Mr. Miya loves factory workers and craftsmen, and I think that his image of Mr. Baisho was connected to Sophie. (From page 23 of this book)
