That is very interesting to note that The First Slam Dunk took almost twice that of The Boy and the Heron.
Does anyone rememeber the last time that a Miyazaki film hasnt topped the Japanese box office?
Porco Rosso, maybe? Unfortunately the Eiren stats only go back 20 years.

The MPPAJ (Eiren) announced their statistics for the Japanese film industry in 2023. Basically both attendance and total box office were up by a slight amount, and Japanese films still commanded about 67% of the market. The number of films released also rose. The top 5 Japanese films at the box office were, in order:

The First Slam Dunk
Detective Conan
The Boy and the Heron
Kingdom
Godzilla Minus One

Again, animated films took the top three slots. For "art" films, Koreeda's Monster was number 21 and Kitano's Kubi was number 29. There were 34 Japanese films that made over one billion yen at the box office (and only 15 foreign films).

You can look up annual box office top 10s here: 
https://www.abelcane.com/category/movie-data/

Porco Rosso was the highest grossing film of 1992 in Japan. The last 
Miyazaki film that didn't top the box office was My Neighbour Totoro in 
1988, which didn't even make it into the top 10.

Best,
Tom

Dear all,
In my humble opinion, the nationality of a film does not depend on the nationality of the director or any person involved, but on the production company or where the money comes from. For co-productions, you normally go by the major contributor, but it is not always that obvious, and there is a grey zone. 
Usually, nominations for film festivals and the like are done by the production companies, not by the directors or other individuals. 
It's the economy, after all. Money makes the world go round, or does it

Exactly. I guess the Lord of the Rings trilogy never competed in national
New Zealand film awards, although the director is Newzealandese and the
films were shot on location in New Zealand.

An other example, maybe less known, is the last film shot by Josef von Sternberg, Anatahan, produced by Daiwa Puro and selected for the Golden Lion competition at the Mostra in 1953. The staff and actors are all Japanese, although the scenario was written by Sternberg after a book by Maruyama Michir?.

Thank you for all insightful perspectives.

I have a feeling that the issue is closely intertwined with the concept of "auteurism".

For one example:

"Bergman then briefly considered the possibility of working in America; his next film, The Serpent's Egg<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Serpent%27s_Egg_(film)> (1977) was a West German-U.S. production and his second English-language film (the first being The Touch<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Touch_(1971_film)>, 1971). This was followed by a British-Norwegian co-production, Autumn Sonata<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autumn_Sonata> (H?stsonaten, 1978) starring Ingrid Bergman<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingrid_Bergman> (no relation) and Liv Ullmann<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liv_Ullmann>, and From the Life of the Marionettes<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_the_Life_of_the_Marionettes> (Aus dem Leben der Marionetten, 1980) which was a British-West German co-production."

I personally feel that Autumn Sonata, for instance, is an intensely "Swedish" film, regardless of the fact that Ingmar Bergman had exiled to Munich and could no longer rely on funding from the Swedish Film Institute et al.

Dear all,
In my humble opinion, the nationality of a film does not depend on the nationality of the director or any person involved, but on the production company or where the money comes from. For co-productions, you normally go by the major contributor, but it is not always that obvious, and there is a grey zone.
Usually, nominations for film festivals and the like are done by the production companies, not by the directors or other individuals.
It's the economy, after all. Money makes the world go round, or does it

Subject: [KineJapan] Adaptation in the tabloids
Message-ID: <E520F7B7-56B1-4DAB-ACB1-B6C61207E78E@yale.edu>

It may surprise some, but the tabloids in Japan are now full of debates about adaptation. What started this was an incident in which the author of the manga ?Sekushi Tanaka-san? died at the end of January, apparently of a suicide (though the trend in Japanese media is to no longer state if it is a suicide; instead words like ?kyushi/sudden death? are used). This was only a week or so after the same author declared on Twitter/X that they had taken over writing the script for some of the last episodes of the  <>TV adaptation of the manga, apparently because the adaptation was not true enough to the manga. Some pushed back against that announcement and only a few days later, the author was found dead. 

It was this that started a large debate in the tabloids and weekly magazines about adaptations to film and TV of novels and manga, mostly revolving around the issue of fidelity and respect to the original and its author. Some authors complained of previous bad experiences; some industry experts complained of the industry?s over reliance on adapted works. Public sentiment seems to be on the side of the original author, so the Japan Writers Guild (the screenwriters guild) actually ended up taking down a video on their YouTube channel when some complained a screenwriter in the video was treating original authors with disrespect. 

Perhaps someone should analyze this incident at a later date, but has anyone been following this closely?

Dear Aaron,

I commented on your FB post about this too, but wanted to respond here as
well and add a bit more. This space feels a bit more appropriate than FB to
talk about this shocking incident.

I have been following it closely since the mangaka (Ashihara Hinako) posted
on X (twitter). As someone who works on Japanese TV and who interviews TV
writers for research, this hits me deeply. I am keeping a close eye on how
the industry responds. I will be talking to my industry contacts next time
I'm in Japan about this. I have refrained from emailing them right now
since everyone is probably still pretty shaken by this incident.

My initial thoughts are that this incident was caused in part by a contract
issue. The Japanese TV industry did not have a regular practice of having
contracts, especially for writers. Akimoto Yasushi told me directly. No
matter how big / famous they are as a writer, contracts are still
relatively a new practice. Even NHK didn't have contracts until the 2000s
from what I have heard. I am sure many people remember the news a few years
ago that Yoshimoto and Johnny's (now Smile-up) did not have contracts with
many of their talento. Ashihara-san and/or Shogakukan probably signed some
contract for the adaptation rights with NTV, but it could have been very
bare bones. So the "promises" by the network could have been just verbal
that the mangaka placed trust in. The number of authors coming forward with
their own stories I think speaks to this too. I will need to look into
whether this is because of Japanese laws or if TV networks do not allow /
want specific provisions in the contract to essentially do whatever they
want with the source material. Hopefully my contacts that have experience
working in the legal departments at networks can give me helpful insights
on this.

I am also hoping that in addition to an internal investigation by NTV,
BPO's human rights committee or the broadcasting ethics will do some kind
of investigation on this matter and do a press conference about it as a
starting point for the industry to make major structural changes so that
this doesn't happen again.

I have more thoughts, but I don't think it's the right time yet because I
am still processing this too. I have read some of ?Sekushi Tanaka-san? and
was looking forward to reading more so I am devastated by the news. I
cannot fathom the devastation and disappointment Ashihara san felt in the
way her work was treated. Condolences to her family and to her fans.

To everyone on this mailing list: I hope everyone is safe and please lean
on your support systems. This type of news can impact all of us in ways we
might not even be aware of.

Best,
Yuki

Message-ID: <1204979197.3304349.1707235264626@mail.yahoo.com>

To all:

Hello. Some of you may be familiar with my website, www.uchidatomu.com, which deals with everything related to the great director Uchida Tomu (1898-1970), "the World's Greatest Unknown Filmmaker" (as I refer to him on the site). I have set myself the task of reviewing every existing film by Uchida, totally about 30 in all. So far, I've reviewed 23 of Uchida's films, so I have about seven to go before my task is done. 

But now I wish to set out on a new goal: to create a documentary film about Uchida's supremely interesting life and career. And to do so, I would like to ask for help from people on this list. 

I've never made a film before, and so I will require grant money, and possible crowdfunding as well, to carry out my ongoing research of this subject just to bring me to the point at which I can start filming. One of my biggest expenses will be transportation costs for multiple trips to Japan to research sources and interview people there. 

So I need advice as well as assistance with making connections. Here are a few of my initial questions.

Does anyone know of any grantmakers who particularly specialize in providing seed money for film projects such as mine? Please note that I'm a male American, based in New York, so grantmakers that exclude applicants in any of those categories would of course not be helpful to me.

Would those who have worked with grantmakers suggest that first obtaining a fiscal sponsorship from an organization be the way for me to go? From what I've read, it may be easier to get grants if I have a fiscal sponsor, but I want to know the pros and possible cons of this step before I consider taking it.

Does anybody know of directors of documentaries about films and/or filmmakers that I could consult about this project and how I might contact them? It would obviously be preferable if they had made films about *Japanese* Cinema, but this isn't strictly necessary.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The Free and Open Indo-Pacific: Japan's Strategic Vision Goes Global
?
In a rapidly evolving global landscape, the Indo-Pacific region is a pivotal arena of economic power and geopolitical importance. The Free and Open Indo-Pacific initiative, championed by Japan and increasingly recognised by other global powers, captures this dynamic shift. With the region accounting for 60% of global GDP and becoming a focus of major rivalries, most notably between the US and China, the initiative's relevance cannot be overstated.

This two-day conference features a line-up of distinguished speakers, and will offer new insights into the economic, political, and security challenges of this critical geopolitical theatre.
