On June 17th, Studio Ghibli announced that they will start making movies without using nuclear power at the suggestion of director Miyazaki Hayao himself. They unfurled a large banner from the company roof to display their newly implemented goal to the public.

According to Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki wanted to �declare their belief with earnest feelings.�

Following the conclusion of the press conference for�"Kokuriko Saka Kara", Miyazaki thanked the people in the front line by stating, �Right now, Japan may be in a distressed state, but I think it would be worthwhile to take the time to make this island return to its former glory.�

When Fukushima promoted the safety of the Fukushima Dai-ni Nuclear Power Plant last year, Studio Ghibli denied being affiliated with the people who circulated and sold their character merchandise, such as �My Neighbor Totoro�, to further promote the safety of the nuclear power plant.
