It is confirmed today that 72-year-old Japanese comedian/TV host Tamori provied all of the voices and sounds for Hayao Miyazaki’s new short film Kemushi no Boro/Boro the Caterpillar, except the ending piano tune composed by Miyazaki’s long-time collaborator Joe Hisaishi.
The 14-minute 20-second film was completed in January 2018 and is scheduled to be screened at the Doseiza (Saturn) Theater in Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo, from March 21.
Without Tamori-san, this film would never be completed.
