Sunday is my day off from work. I’ll try to go, but I’ve already seen it in the states.

AAH! It’s the Japanese trailer of spoilerdom! That trailer is sooooooo amazing, seriously, one of the most gorgeous advertisements of all time.

This is really cool, I love how much attention this is getting! I think everyone would be doing themselves a favor going out to see this movie. It’s just so incredible!

Good luck getting in Rey and thanks again for the info!

I thought the Japanese trailer was going to practically go through the whole movie, lol. But this has more of an emphasis on [spoil]Carl’s love and determination to fulfill Ellie’s wish, rather than the adventure-y tone of the US trailer.[/spoil] Not saying one is better than the other, but the Japanese versions of trailers are always different than the US ones.

Can anyone translate the Japanese trailer, pretty please? I think I heard “love” in there somewhere, but that’s about the extent of my Japanese vocabulary.

This is a straight translation of UP trailer video from TIFF.
Opening narration: [spoil]I met you in this house. I promised you in this house. I swore love to you in this house. I dreamed with you in this house. We’re getting old in this house. Then one day I was alone in this house.[/spoil]

Closing narration:[spoil] I met you in this house. I lost you in this house, so I’m going to see with this house[/spoil].

I need some help with the translation because I’ve lived too long in Japan and I’ve forgotten some English. The last sentence doesn’t feel right [spoil]“…so I’m going to see you with this house.” [/spoil]

Oh wow, that’s crazy. Japan’s getting a lot of the big stuff in their previews, I’m wondering how they’ll take the movie with that much revealed! I honestly can’t believe how much they’ve seen already, seems like it would take away a lot from the film (well, sorta, the film is so strong already, it wouldn’t necessarily matter)

Thanks for the translation Rey, that’s really cool.
