The normal production diary from June were uploaded today.

According to this diary, next Miyazaki's film seems set in around Kobe city, Japan.

July 6:
The main staff, Kondo-san, Yoshida-san, art staff and Inamura-san went to XXX (somewhere) for location hunting on the next film, and joined Miyazaki-san who came earlier. They went around the places Miyazaki-san recommended. According to them, although they had doubts, the small coffee shop on a mountain was good.

July 21:
After checking DLP at Kobe, and after having taken the catnap at a hotel, we went to XXX for location hunting. We joined Takeshige at the XX station and went to the mountain where XXX is able to be commanded.
Though we went to the place where Miyazaki-san recommended, we were not able to see the panorama of XXX because of the mist. We also stopped in the mysterious cafe on the mountain where the staff who had gone to location hunting in the beginning of this month mentioned.
This cafe seems to be managing by an elderly couple, and looks old. It was a very open-hearted place where stray dogs and cats freely roam in and out in the shop.
After we had a dinner at the hotel, we strolled in the town of XXX at night.

July 22:
Today, we got up at 5am to do location hunting of XXX at daybreak. The scenery of the sea changing little by little at the sunrise was so beautiful.

The TBS program R30 featured Toshio Suzuki.
the interviewer asked him.

Q: Is "no" (の) part of the title?
Suzuki: Yes.
Q: something "no" something?
Suzuki: The title contains two "no".
--------------------------------------------------

right now, keywords of next film are
"Kobe", two "no", "Harbor"

What kind of story did they choose?
What do you think?

I guess "Umi no Monogatari" by "Haitani Kenjirou".
海のものがたり, 灰谷　健次郎

The story of the boy, Kenta who lives with his father who is a skilled fisherman. The transfer student, Kanako from the city, and a young class teacher Noriko, the story described their friendship in the port town.

Haitani Kenjirou was born in Kobe.　

EDIT:===2006.8.10 09:45===
this story is set in port town in the vicinity of Kobe.
and it makes us think about environmental problems.

Kenta hope to become a fisherman like his father. But, a catch of fish has decreased every year.
Why has fishes decreased?
The sea is dirty with the drain from factories and the drain from homes. The fishery is lost by land reclamation. A skilled fisherman says, "Isn't the fisherman responsible? There are people who is catching the fish indiscriminately."

You're probably right; now I'm disappointed that his next film is not based on an original idea, but instead is an adaptation of someone else's work.

Why it is decided that next Miyazaki's film baed on a book?

yes, you are right. its just my imagination
The information is very little, I imagine it on my own way.
Because DLP checking had begun since 12 PM, and they works in Kobe at night, they takes a nap, and they went to location hunting, I thought that they stayed at the hotel in Kobe on that day, and their destination seems to be not too far from Kobe.

. . . the mountain where XXX is able to be commanded . . .
. . . panorama of XXX . . .

They try to see something vast.

. . . To see the scenery of the port of XXX, we ascended a hill . . .

There is a sea.

. . . strolled in the town of XXX at night

There is a town.


There is a bay named "Harimanada" (播磨灘) near Kobe.
I guess they went to "Rokkou" (六甲), and "Awajishima" (淡路島).
