日本动画大师宫崎骏

　　现年72岁的日本动画大师宫崎骏这次真退休了。宫崎骏召开的退休发布会上，吉卜力工作室社长星野康二、制作人铃木敏夫出席。面对数百名媒体记者，宫崎骏宣布：“我知道自己以前曾经多次说到要退休，对此大家或许已经见怪不怪了。不过这次我是真的要离开了。”而大师更坦言是日益加重的眼疾，让自己在制作动画上，心有余而力不足。而自己更对工作室寄予厚望。还称自己印象最深的是《哈尔的移动城堡》，想向孩子们传达“生存在这个世界是值得的”这样的信息，这一点至今未变。

　　Today Hayao Miyazaki in Tokyo answered many people concerned in “why famed animator Hayao Miyazaki is retiring?”， he said。

　　“I know I’ve mentioned I’m retiring many times in the past, so I know that many of you might think, oh again. This time is for real。”

　　“There were tons of things (anime) I wasn’t able to do, but there were reasons why we didn’t do them. There were so many ideas that popped in my mind, but it’s not something I should mention publicly。”

　　The director explained that his eyesight was getting worse due to which creating animation a bit harder and how each year, he is leaving his desk earlier and earlier。

　　A reported listened that he is talking about the retirement from making feature films, “As long as I can drive,” Miyazaki replied, “I will be going to the studio every day. But if there’s thing I want to do, then I will。”

　　Miyazaki doesn’t want to make fake promises as when someone asked about the composition of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind sequel, he said no. The famed animator said there were things he wanted to do, but said he wasn’t willing to state them publicly if he isn’t able to do them。

　　According to Miyazaki, he said if he were to think of the next film, it will take six or seven years to complete the film. "I feel that my days in feature film are done," the 72 year-old Miyazaki said. "If I said I wanted to [make a feature film], I would sound like an old man saying something foolish."1

　　In his official retirement statement , Miyazaki wrote that he wants to work "for another ten years." He added that it might be shorter, as you can't decide your own life span, but he is aiming for another ten years that isn't filled with feature film production。

　　"I will be free," Miyazaki said. "I would like to do something else, and that's not animation."

　　Miyazaki said he would like to be more involved in the Ghibli Museum on a volunteer basis. "Maybe, I'll be exhibited in the museum," Miyazaki joked。
