The story is far from a happy one. According to him, and apparently a popular urban legend in itself, Totoro and his magical friends are in fact Shinigami, that is to say the gods of death, the grim reaper. Pretty cute for a grim reaper, huh?

susuwatari.png

It begins with the susuwatari (煤渡り) (a.k.a. makkurokurosuke), those little black balls that they find in the kitchen. The story goes that if you see the susuwatari or Totoro, death is close.

nekobuscantsee.png

The old woman says that adults can’t see the susuwatari or the other mystical beasts. Unexplained though, is why she saw them when she was young. Kanta, the old woman’s grandson doesn’t seem able to see them.

The real story comes from the history of the Sayama incident (狭山事件 sayama jiken). There seem to be too many coincidences between the Sayama incident and this movie to ignore.

The Sayama incident occured in May 1963. It’s quite an important case for discrimination in Japan. The case goes that one day, in Sayama (in Saitama prefecture), a young girl was kidnapped for ransom, raped and then murdered. Her older sister apparently found her body, but was so traumatized by it, when asked what she had seen, she merely said “I met a large Tanuki (looks like a racoon)” and “I saw a cat monster.” Sound familiar? Anyway, the older sister later commited suicide.

So let’s see. Okay I’ll start with the things that are most similar. For one, the house that the family moved to is also in Saitama. It isn’t told exactly where, but take a look at this:

sayamacha.png

Written on the box at the back is 狭山茶 sayamacha or Sayama tea. Doesn’t get much more direct than that.

Also, the hospital, 七国病院 shichikoku byouin has (or had?) a real-life counterpart in Sayama, called the 八国病院 hachikoku byouin, located in the same area as in the movie.

The real murder took place in May. Also the youngest child is named Mei (pronounced ‘May’). This could be a coincidence, but the older sister is named Satsuki, which is also another way to say May.

The Nekobus (the cat bus) is the cariage that takes one to the next world (heaven, hell, whatever). This is given a little reinforcement by the above picture, showing the destination as 墓道, the first character means grave, the second meaning road.

So in the story, the idea is that Mei is murdered after she goes missing. Satsuki, feeling grief, decides to join her.

She enters into the realm of the Shinigami (death god) - Totoro. Notice the presence again of the Susuwatari. And the monochromatic lighting. She hops into the Nekobus; the vehicle to the next world, and they go to see their mother together, but they don’t actually meet her.

There is a strong belief that after Mei goes missing, she has no shadow, apparently adding to the notion that she is dead. When I watched the movie again I found it hard to distinguish between what would be called a shadow or not so this is in debate.

One thing I did notice, though, was that Satsuki and Mei seem to be colored differently once they are both on the Nekobus.

You may ask yourself about the ending credits, which show a happy Mei and Satsuki along with the mother and friends. The favoured explanation is that these are memories from when they were still living.

Another yet stranger rumor is that the movie is segmented; some parts are the present, some are the past or future, some are the work of the father’s imagination. This seems a little off until you remember the scene with the huge tree. The children sit atop this huge tree (which umbrellas the small house) playing flutes with the Totoros.

fatherhappy.png

The father looks out to see this, smiles happily and continues his writing. The suggestion is that he is writing about his deceased daughters doing exactly what they are shown doing.

When first visiting their mother, the calender at the hospital shows the 9th month (September), but nearing the end of the movie, it shows the 8th month (August) (source). According to here, this fit in perfectly with the leap year of 1952, which, as we will see, is the year before the mother in the Sayama incident is reported to have died.


Apparently this gives proof to the interpretation that the Totoro story doesn’t flow chronologically. Either that, or the mother is hospitalized for almost a year.

On that same site, it is suggested that one reason the mother couldn’t see Mei and Satsuki on the tree is because they were with the Nekobus, who can’t be seen by adults.

Another point was brought up about Mei’s clothing in the movie poster, which appeared on the back of the VHS cover. Mei is wearing Satsuki’s clothes.

One of the commenters at that site also gave a little more interesting information about the Sayama incident:

The Sayama Jiken took place in Shouwa 38 (i.e. 1963), but when looking into the family of the victim, dubbed ‘Y’ (at that time she was 16, she was the third daughter of a family of 3 males and 4 females), it appears that Y’s mother was in a mental hospital (though, for a brain tumor, not mental illness). The mother died in Shouwa 28 (1953). Delving further reveals that in Shouwa 18 (1943), Y’s older sister died at age 3. Which means, at the time when their mother was in hospital, Y would have been 5-6, and her older sister (if she has still been alive) would have been 13.

The girl had two brothers, and of course there was her father (three males). On the day of the incident, the 11-year old brother received the ransom letter. There were a lot of suicides surrounding the murder. Of the six siblings, four died, not to mention others outside the family. What happened to this family? There is the world of the Totoro (the three males) and the mother and the deceased sister. The fairy tale is this scary tale minus the scary parts. It seems that the Sayama Incident follows this motif. In the 30th year of Showa (1955), Tonari No Totoro meant “Next to Tokorozawa,” or in other words, Sayama.

6jizou.jpg

In the scene where Mei is lost and crying, she is sitting next to 6 地蔵 jizou Jizou statues (English — Ksitigarbha, a buddhist deity that looks after the souls of deceased children and aborted fetuses in Japanese culture. Apparently these 6 Jizou statues represent 6 people who died in the course of the incident (see above).

Apparently one of the phrases in the lyrics of the song of the Nekobus is “乗ったお客は陽気なおばけ” notta okyaku wa youki na obake, “those guests who ride are cheerful ghosts.”

It is important to note that these rumors have not been confirmed by Hayao Miyazaki or Studio Ghibli.

Ei ole aihetta tänäänkään, kirottu naamakirja on syynä tämänpäiväiseen kiireeseeni. Olin eilen puolenyön aikaan aikeissa logata ulos kaikkialta ja mennä nukkumaan, kun siellä kaikkein hiljaisimmassa ja paskimmassa paikassa, ihminen joka ei koskaan puhu mitään, aloitti keskustelun kanssani. Eikä sillä etteikö ole aina mukavaa keskustella henkeviä, mutta kaikista hetkistä juuri silloin piti alkaa puhumaan. No, ajattelin että keskustelu on ohi puolen tunnin sisällä, joten heittäydyin mukaan keskusteluun. Sitten yht'äkkiä toinenkin ihminen, joka ei koskaan sano mitään, aloitti puhelun. Pian kolmaskin. Näiden kanssa yö venyi aamuviiteen asti ja heräsin sangen myöhään. Sittemmin olen lähinnä lojunut paikallani yrittäen herätä.

Ilmoitan teille mikäli suoriudun tästä urakasta.
Lisäksi, oletteko huomanneet että YLEn kanavilta on tullut monena perättäisenä päivänä Studio Ghiblin elokuvia?
Saman tason kun pitäisivät ympäri vuoden, voisin alkaa harkitsemaan TV-lupaa.
No, lisää huomenna, aion nousta aikaisin vaikka mikä olisi.
Ja lähteä ulos. Ne ovat tosin sekundäärisiä tärkeysasteiltaan.
Tertiäärinen missioni on maailmanvalloitus.

Primäärimissioni liittyy lähinnä homopornografiaan ja Erisan-puteliin.
Mutta ei siitä enempää.

Huomiseen, uskolliset alaimaiseni.

Doih, yks Ghiblin leffa lisää~
Ohmat on ehaaania vaik ne onki isoja koppakuoriaisia :DDD
Ja koska tossa levyssä oli Studio Ghiblin luomiskertomus mukana, nii nyt tiiän kaikki niiden tekemät leffat :D Jos ette suutu, niin listaan ne uusiks, aikajärjestyksessä :DD

Tuulen laakson Nauscaä (1984) [x]
Linna Taivaalla (1986) [ ]
naapurini Totoro (1988) [x]
Tulikärpästen hauta (1988) [ ]
Kikin lähettipalvelu (1989) [ ]
Only Yesterday (1991) [ ]
Porco Rosso (1992) [ ]
Aaltojen kuohu (1993) [ ]
Pom Poko (1994) [ ]

Giburiizu(/Ghiblies) 2 (2002) [ ] (ykköstä ei oo ees julkastu Japanissa, ja tätäkään tuskin saan mistään.)
Liikkuva Linna (2004) [x]
Ponyo Rantakalliolla (2008) [ ]

On niitä monta =___= Mut mitä enemmän, sen paremmalta se näyttää leffahyllyssä ja sen pidempään saan kerätä niitä <3
Osan noista saan Prismasta, kuten Kikin lähettipalvelu, Aaltojen kuohu, Porco Rosso, Linna taivaalla ja Ponyo Rantakalliolla, mut muita saan metsästää jostai pusikosta ;o Ihanaa, haastetta o/
Katoinpa äsken ties-kuinka-monetta-kertaa Tulikärpästen haudan ja voin rehellisesti sanoa, et vuodattelen tässä lopputekstien rullatessa ja ending-biisin soidessa pari miehekästä kyyneltä.
Aivan jumalattoman upea elokuva, studio Ghiblin ehdottomasti parhainta antia. Kamalinta täs leffassa on se, et perustuu muistelmiin. Jos ette ole jo, niin kattokaa ihmeessä, mut Henkien kätkemä/Liikkuva linna tms. Hayao Miyazaki- animeperseilyä on turha odottaa.
(Jos vituttaa anime, tästä on tehty myös live action-versio, jonka aion ite katsastaa huomenna.)

Potemaan sota-ahdinkoa sängynpohjalle, öitä. -->

TAHTOO OMAN SEIJI AMASAWAN!!!

Today is one of these days again. I listen to Alexander Rybak (Rolling With The Wind, ah, perfect - it's FOLK! Me LIKE) and hum and dance around the living room. I go out and play with the dogs. I do something on Facebook for the first time in some 4 months or so.

Things I want to do which are unimportant and potentially harmful to the important things:
- See Brüno (Borat was SO 2006) and the Che movies and Crossing Over, Harrison Ford is on it! Oh, and Inglorious Basterds!!! Quentin Tarantino rocks the boat
- Have a birthday party! It's official, I'm having one on the 18th. WELCOME
- Go on listening to this song and dance around and never wake up, I don't want to clean, I don't want to see, I want to dance and forget about everything shite, what shite? There is no shite. Just the song and the dance and alterations in circumstance.

ALTERATIONS means you TRY NOT TO MELT AND DO ANYWAY, and you can't do shite about it and don't want to even though you HAVE for an awful while. You want to quit it. I want to quit it. I want to dance. What does anything matter? There's not much I could do anyway. Well, I will clean some, but then I'm off dancing again. My feet won't stay on the ground, I've grown invisible wings, I can fly! Bye bye
