Night on the Galactic Railroad Blu-ray
A treasure of Japanese literature, Kenji Miyazawa's timeless masterpiece "Night on the Galactic Railroad" is brought to life on Blu-ray with beautiful visuals. Released in 1985 and awarded the Ofuji Shinro Award that same year, this animated film is a masterpiece painstakingly produced by director Gisaburo Sugii and Group TAC.

Enter the world of memorable stories

Giovanni, a blue-furred kitten, is doing his best to support his sick mother while waiting for his father, who is away fishing, to return home. At school, he endures teasing from his classmates, works at a printing press after school, and spends his days caring for his sick mother. The only thing that brings him joy is the Star Festival, where he looks forward to meeting his best friend, Campanella.
However, their reunion isn't under the stars, but on board the Galaxy Express, which unexpectedly appears on the train. This mysterious train journey passes through the Northern Cross and stops at various stations. Along the way, Giovanni and Campanella meet a variety of passengers, including a birdcatcher, a radio operator, and children rescued from a ship that has hit an iceberg.
They were on their way to the Christian heaven of the Southern Cross, but Giovanni and Campanella chose to continue their journey. As the train approached the Coalbag Nebula, Campanella declared that he had seen "the true heaven," and got off the train.

Profound symbolism

At first glance, it may seem like a children's animation featuring a cat character, but the symbolism and deep meaning embedded in this work resonates deeply with people of all ages, from children to adults. This story, which most clearly displays Miyazawa Kenji's humanitarian sensibility, is a masterpiece that is used as an important teaching material in Japanese educational settings.

Beautiful harmony of images and music

In the approximately 107-minute feature, you can enjoy beautiful animation that is faithful to the original work produced in 1985. In particular, the scene in which the second movement of Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" plays is memorable to many as a highly artistic scene in which music and images are beautifully combined.

A universal theme that transcends time
