time of decision
She ran home,”Jiji, I’ve decided! I’m gonna do it tonight!”
He is surprised that you said this so suddenly.
“Mom! I heard the weather forecast.There gonna be a big full moon.
“Do you borrow your father’s radio without permission again?
“Mom, my mind’s made up. It’s tonight.
Weren’t you going to put it off a month.”
“But the next full moon might be on a cloudy nigth.
“Kiki,Wait!”
“My, my. What’s this leaving business?
“It’s one of our old customs.
At13, a witch leaves home for a year of training.
“Your little baby is 13? My,my.Time flies so quickly, doesn’t it?
The room is full of flowers and plants. There are also many experimental tools such as beakers. Just like Spirited Away, Kiki’s Delivery Service takes a long time to draw. I thought Kiki’s Delivery Service would be easier, but I was wrong.
“I’m afraid so.But nobody leaves home that young anymore.
I remember perfectly well….the exact day you arrived in this town.A little 13-year-old girl came down from the sky.
riding a broomstick, her eyes shining.I thought you were a bit full of yourself.
Mother also left home at the age of 13. She said that’s why she said it was too early, but she looks very happy. I feel like she is my child.
From here on out, I will improve the quality of the coloring. When I first started, I was just thinking about completing the painting and finished the painting in a hurry, but I realized that there was no point in finishing the painting by lowering its quality, so I tried to improve the colors as much as I could. It will be a little late though. I hope it will be completed someday…
“She hardly knows any of my potions.
“After I’m gone,I’m afraid. Everthing changes, bit by bit.
“You’re always telling me to hurry! Now who’s the slowpoke.”
I think it’s better to leave with decorum and great dignity.
“If we put it off for a month.and I find some wondreful boyfriend, then what? We’ll never leave!”
Gigi’s facial expressions are also richly drawn, just like Kiki’s. Among Miyazaki’s works, Totoro and Kiki’s Delivery Service are rich in expression.
When you stop and look at it, its expression changes all the time. That’s very interesting.
It had a weird face, so I drew it.
“I’m worried about this.Once you’ve decided,you can’t go back.
I’m worried about what will happen. These lines made me think for a moment that Kiki’s inner voice was being projected onto Jiji’s cry, or maybe she had just been meowing from the beginning. There may be other opinions, and there are many different ways to look at it. Because he’s the one who makes the decision right away…
“Of course. I know that.Good. It’s there. I’m so,excited!
Oh, I wonder… I say I’m looking forward to it and I’m excited, but I feel like She’s conflicted because Gigi’s words are in my heart.At 13 years old, I can’t leave the house easily. It must be scary. This is not something that can normally be done.
I wonder if You may be worried if what you have prepared is candy.
“I’m like getting a birthday present.”
At that moment, She notice a noise.
“Dad!”I’ve decided to go away tonight!”
-Tonight? -Yeah! I’m just decided!
-Tonight? -Yeah! I’m just decided!
“Well, yes, but what about our camping trip for this weekend?”
“Sorry.Dad!
You might think that’s selfish, considering they had plans to go camping next week. But spending some fun time with family before setting off on her own would make her waver. I think he probably thought that if he was going to go, now would be a better time to make up his mind. It’s not that I don’t understand how he feels. By the way, Kiki’s family is Mr./Ms. Okino. That’s what he said when he called to tell her about Kiki’s departure.
“Non bad” “I wish it were a different color.” “Witches have always worn this color.” “Black cat,black clothes.”
The paintings are not difficult, but each one is very picturesque.
All the scenes are great.
“What matters is the heart inside it.” “I know that having a good heart is very important.I wish I could show you that my heart is ready” “Just follow that heart and keep heart smiling”
“Okay”
I especially want you to look at the changes in facial expressions in Kiki’s Delivery Service. Each expression has a meaning, and I try to recreate that as much as possible.
“Okay.Now let me have a look my little witch.You look like your mother when she was young”
“Dad…would you pick me up like you used to?
“Well…”
This is the scene where Kiki is pampered by her father. This is the last time we see Kiki with a childlike expression.
“How come you never told me you were growing up so fast.
You can always come home if things don’t work out.”
“Come back to my old room?No,thanks.”
When you look at the way Kiki clings to her, you can see her fear and her true feelings of not wanting to go. Even though she is a witch, all she can do is fly.
“I bet it’s real tough to find a town to live in by yourself.”
“Don’t worry.Kiki will be fine.”
“What kind of town are you looking for? A big town?
“Yeah.By the ocean, I hope.”
“Wow! I’m so jealous of you!”
“But I’m not going for a good time.I’ll be in training at least a year.
“That’s the broom you’re leaving on?”
“Yeah,I just made it.Pretty cute, huh?”
“It’s cute,butyou can’t start on a broom that’s too small.Take mine.” “But Mom, that one’s so old.”
“That’s why you should have it.It never loses its way,even in a storm.Kiki, trust me.”
“But I worked so hard on it.Right,Jiji?”
“Your mother’s broom would be better.” “You rotten traitor”
Dora”He’s right.You can make yourself another broom when you get settled down.
Kiki’s Delivery Service is a work that is truly loved by Japanese women. When we are children, we may feel Kiki’s feelings, and when we become adults, we may feel Kiki’s mother’s feelings. I feel that it has an overwhelming and enduring popularity among Ghibli films.
Kiki’s mother looks worried, but her father is smiling.
Her hair stands on end and Kiki floats up. She has a dignified face, befitting a witch.
Kiki’s expression is constantly changing, and sometimes her face changes so much that you wonder if it’s the same Kiki. If the highlight of Spirited Away is the elaborate backgrounds, then the appeal of the KIKI’s DELIVERY SERVICE expressions, and I realised while drawing that this was an area I put a lot of effort into creating the piece. I especially have to be careful when drawing the face.
The broom floats up, but then falls back down, and Kiki hits it.
The broom that was hit flew off in surprise, crashing into a tree before flying away.
Jiji finds something and tells Kiki
“Good evening.” “Oh, you’re new?”
“Is it hard to settle in a new town?” “Yeah, there were a lot of things that happened, but I can tell people’s fortunes, so it’s been okay.”
The cat looks like a robot
“Do you have any special skills?”
Kiki “No, but I’ve been thinking about a lot of things.”
Jiji VS Robot Cat
“My training will soon be over. I’m so happy that I can go home proudly.” “That town is my town. It’s not big, but it’s not too bad.”
“You do your best too.” “Yes.”
“See you then.”
I thought she might be a bit nasty, but she seems like a nice girl.
Sometimes people who are thought to be bad are not actually so. Sometimes they are right.
