Yesterday I saw the Lion King Musical at the Fukuoka City Theater, nicknamed the Ramen Stadium. It is located in a uniquely designed mall, which includes the theater as well as clothing stores, restaurants, and rare shops, including a Studio Ghibli store! So…. I got to go to the Studio Ghibli store!!!! :D
A little about the Studio Ghibli: Studio Ghibli, which is considered Japan's premiere animation studio, was founded in 1985 by two of animation's greatest creators: Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. Studio Ghibli has made numerous animation masterpieces. Among the many are two of my favorites - Princess Mononoke and Academy Award Winner Spirited Away. Studio Ghibli is not only respected and loved by all Japanese, animation fans and film lovers, but is loved by people from all over the world, including me!
A note about Manga, (Japanese comic books) which I have been reading for several years – a Manga in Japan is 100 yin, about $1.. Wow suddenly $10 sounds like a horrible price to pay for one in the U.S.
