Tokorozawa, Japan Seeks to Host Satsuki and Mei's Home Date: 4/26/2005 |

Editor's note: The following e-mail was sent to ANN and is not technically a press release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Friends, I am writing from the town of Tokorozawa, Japan, which is known to be the home of My Neighbor TOTORO. And I am writing to you in connection with the Satsuki and Mei?'s house from this movie. The house, where Satsuki and Mei moved in on one beautiful Sunday in May, has been restored meticulously to the movie for Expo 2005, currently being held in Aichi, Japan. The house will most likely be relocated somewhere after the Expo has finished in September this year. We, the citizens of Tokorozawa, are making an attempt to bring this house back to our city, the hometown of TOTORO. Therefore we are currently subscribing a petition, and we need your support. I think many of the worldwide fans of TOTORO would agree that the house should be relocated where it really belongs. We believe that the house will deliver the significant messages to the children and everyone on the Earth in the years to come. The movie is trying to convey the importance of the family ties, keeping a world of fantasy in the eyes of children even after growing up, and paying homage to the wisdom of nature. It would be very much appreciated if you could pass on this message to your "neighbors" and friends to let them know of our cheerful activity. And should you wish to support us, click here and send your message! Thank you. Tokorozawa Junior Chamber, Inc. |
