読みかじり - 君の名は Why the story of body-swapping teenagers has gripped Japan

君の名は

子どもの英語勉強の足しになるか。。。




A Japanese film has made history by becoming the first animation not made by the legendary Studio Ghibli to rake in more than 10bn yen (£76m; $98m) in a month. But what exactly is it that has been drawing in the crowds?

1. It is a body-swapping fantasy

Your Name, also known as Kimi no Na wa in Japanese, is a body-swapping fantasy with two teenagers at its heart.
Based on a novel, it tells the story of Mitsuha, a female high school student in a rural Japanese town, and Taki, a male high school student in central Tokyo.
Mitsuha starts dreaming of herself as a young man. Taki also begins seeing himself through the eyes of a female student in the countryside.
The rest of the movie explores their body-swap and the journey they go on involves time travel as well as disastrous deadly comets.

2. It mirrors the boy-girl swaps found in old Japanese tales

Director Makoto Shinkai is said to have been inspired by a classic Japanese 12th Century tale, Torikaebaya Monogatari, which features a sibling duo, where a boy is raised as a girl and the girl raised as a boy because of their personality.
