So I'm sure you guys have heard about Hayao Miyazaki's latest project which is Gake no Ue no Ponyo or Ponyo on a Cliff. It's supposed to be shown in theaters in Japan this summer and news of the US/Worldwide release is around 2009.

The story is about this boy Ponyo who meets a goldfish princess who wants to become human. It sounds like "The Little Mermaid" but I'm sure there's a twist involved. The theme of the film is supposed to be the relationship between parent and child. According to sources, Miyazaki had to deliberate for a while before deciding to base Ponyo on his son, Goro. Could this project be a means of trying to make amends with his son for their rift regarding "Tales of Earthsea"? Who knows?

The main theme is titled after the film and sung by a little girl, Ohashi, Nozomi, and a male, Fujimaki, Fujioka. I bought the Image Album so I was able to hear it. I like it a lot! It's startling catchy and I assure you it'll remain in your head for a while.

It has the same tone of "Sanpo" from "My Neighbor Totoro" but still entirely different.

I'm looking forward to seeing it.
