The Inspiration Behind the New Release
The 4K digitally remastered version of "Kiki's Delivery Service" will be shown for a limited time at IMAX theaters nationwide from June 19th. The trailer video and visitor gift information have been released.
A Look Back at the Original Film
``Kiki's Delivery Service'' was released in 1989 with Hayao Miyazaki serving as producer, scriptwriter, and director. In the trailer video, a clear scene from the 4K digitally remastered version supervised by Studio Ghibli is shown, accompanied by the insert song ``Yasashisashi ni Watareta Nara'' sung by Yumi Arai.
An A3-sized "IMAX Theater Visual Poster" will be distributed as a present for attendees. An image board drawn at the time of production shows Kiki's back looking down on the city on the full moon night before her departure.

Furthermore, the 4K digitally remastered version will be screened at 116 theaters in 47 prefectures nationwide for a limited period of two weeks starting July 3rd.
