[Edit this paragraph] Introduction to the work
"Voice of the Stars" is Makoto Shinkai's second work after "Her and Her Cat". The 25-minute full digital animation, director, script, performance, painting, art, editing and other tasks are all handled by Makoto Shinkai. Won the first New Century Tokyo International Animation Exhibition 21 Public Recruitment Department Excellence Award. Executive Committee Chairman Shintaro Ishihara once praised: "This unknown talent exists because it needs to be conveyed to the world!" In addition, he also won the 7th Kobe Animation Award and the 6th Agency for Cultural Affairs Media Arts Festival Digital Art Department Special Award Award, the 34th Nebula Awards Media Department, the 8th AMD AWARD Best Director Award and many other awards. It has very good reviews, unlike other ordinary animations produced by individuals. The slender and beautiful background, original performances, and plot with a big message were highly praised. On the other hand, some people criticized shortcomings such as too many still images, poor character setting, and weak drama. When the DVD was released in Japan, 50,000 sets were sold, which was an astonishing record for personal animation production. It was called the top of the pyramid of independent animation production in the new century. As a result, the work was adapted into novels and comics, and DVDs were also sold in various countries around the world. There are some differences between the novel version, the comic version, and the animated version, and they are regarded as different works. In 2002, Japan's MediaWorks Bunko released the novel version written by Oba Roku, and in 2005, Kodansha Afternoon KC released the manga version illustrated by Sahara Mizu. In 2006, a new novel version written by Arata Garner was released by Enterbrain.

[Edit this paragraph] Detailed introduction
In July 2046, they were only concerned about their final exam results and the high school they were about to enter. We saw the spaceship together at the school parking lot in the evening. Asheng said, "Someone from this city will be selected as a starting member." Then, in order to avoid the rain, the two of them took the things they bought at the convenience store and hid in the station. The conversation was about their expectations for high school life. On the way home, Mikako sat on Asheng's rear frame, and a Tacer (a manned space weapon with a driver) appeared in the sky. Amidst the chirping of birds returning home, Mikako said, "Hey, Asheng, it's me. , to drive that thing.” Starting in April 2047, the time required for mail transmission from Mars to Jupiter and then to Pluto between Mikako and Asheng gradually extended from the initial month to half a year. "Well, it doesn't matter." Asheng waited by the railway and looked at his phone, "How could it be okay?" In this way, Asheng spent his first year of high school communicating with Mikako. In other words, I spent my time waiting for Mikako’s email. In August 2047, near the orbit of Pluto, Mikako's fleet was forced to fly at a speed of 1 light-year due to battles with a large number of Dorumisians, and the time difference between them became one year. While Mikako was looking forward to returning to Earth as soon as possible, she was getting further and further away from Earth.
In the vast and vast universe, communicating with Asheng via email became Mikako's only solace. The fleet then conducted a long-distance space transfer flight to Sirius. The flight distance is 8.6 light years, and the one-way transmission of mail takes 8 years. Mikako asked, "Asheng, will you forget me?" In August 2048, after a year of silence, Asheng had almost given up waiting for the mail, but at the station where they had taken shelter from the rain, the phone rang again. Mikako wrote at the end of the email, "Hey, it seems like we are lovers separated by the universe and the earth." They have probably been eyeing each other since middle school, but the distance that takes eight years to travel at the speed of light is no different from the so-called "forever". On March 25, 2056, Asheng, who had just returned to his apartment, received the email Mikako sent him eight years ago. The email started with "Hello, 24-year-old Asheng, I am 15-year-old Mikako..." Like a miracle, the two people miss the same things, such as summer clouds, cold rain, and autumn wind. The smell of rain, the sound of rain falling on an umbrella, the soft soil of spring, the reassuring feeling of a convenience store late at night, the cool air after school, the smell of blackboard erasers, the sound of trucks passing by at night, the dusk The smell of asphalt. "I have always wanted to experience these things with you." Who said that we will definitely be able to meet again. Eight years ago, after Mikako sent the sentence "I still like Asahi very much," she immediately started a fierce battle with the Doromis who suddenly attacked. Eight years later, newspapers on Earth reported that the fleet had suffered heavy losses and that only one might have returned. But, but, "Hey," "Although we are far, far away, very, very far away," "But maybe missing can really transcend time and distance," "Have you ever thought about that?" "If only for a moment. If it can be realized, what will I think about, what will you think about?" "Hey, there must be only one thing we think about," there must be only one thing. "Hey, I'm here." This is their common voice.
[Edit this paragraph] Theme song
THROUGH THE YEARS AND FAR AWAY (HELLO, LITTLE STAR)
Composer: Tianmen Lyricist: K.JUNO Singer: LOW
Hello, little star (Hello, little star)
Are you doing fine? (How are you doing?)
I'm lonely as everything birth
Sometimes in the dark
When I close my eyes
I dream of you, the planet earth (I dreamed of you, our earth)
If I could fly across this night (If I could fly across this night)
p>
Faster than the speed of light
I would spread these wings of mine
Through the years and far away (after several years)
Far beyond the milky way (at the other end of the distant galaxy)
See the shine that never blinks (look at the shine that never blinks)
The shine that never fades (it will never dim)
Thousand years and far away (after a thousand years)
Far beyond the silky way (at the far end of the Silk Road)
You're the shine that never blinks (You are the light that never blinks)
The shine that never dies ( That light will never go out)
Hello, tiny star (Hello, little star)
Can you hear me call? (Can you hear me call?? )
I'm so blind as everything at birth If I could flow against these nights
Straiter than the string of light (straighter than light)
I would lay there hands on time (I am willing to hand over my hands to time)
Through the years and far away Years away)
Far beyond the milky way (at the other end of the distant galaxy)
See the shine that never blinks (Look at the light that never blinks)
The shine that never fades (it will never dim)
Thousand years and far away (after a thousand years)
Far beyond the silky way (at the far end of the Silk Road)
You're the shine that never blinks (You are the light that never blinks)
The shine that never dies (that The light will never go out)
Through years and far away (passed several years away)
Far beyond the milky way (at the other end of the distant galaxy)
You're the shine that never blinks (You are the shine that never blinks)
The shine that never dies (The shine never dies)
