We go to Sapporo by train for two and a half hours and call at Sapporo SY Yuraku Theater. I stay at my parents' house today. A party is held to encourage the employees at the bar in Ghibli and at Miyazaki's Nibariki Studio. Ujiie, president of Nihon TV, turns up at the party. After the noon waiters in tuxedo and sushi cocks were on the trot at the studio.
Reporters appear and bosses in every department are in a flood of flashlights in the meeting room.
I was reminded of Ishii in production department, who is fond of traveling and traveled over dozens countries. He must be envious to me in Tokyo. It takes four and a half hours to arrive at Kitami. We call at 109 Theater in Kitami Tokyu Department Store but find it closed today, so we visit Kitami Central Theater. Interviewers come to see Takahata but Kamimura forgot it and the screening of rushed is scheduled today.
