Chibi Maruko-chan: My Favorite Song (Watashi no Suki na Uta)
Released: December 19, 1992

When Maruko befriends a portrait artist who helps her with a class assignment to draw her favorite song, she’s swept along into the exciting world that exists in the borderline between art and music.

Chibi Maruko-chan: My Favorite Song is a movie that’s equal parts cute and charming, funny and amusing, touching and tearjerking, combined with inventive and creative animated musical segments. In short, this is a buried treasure that deserves to be seen by more people.

While this is based on the TV series Chibi Maruko-chan, you need not be familiar with the main series to enjoy this movie, as I’ve seen multiple people swept away by its charms who haven’t watched a single episode of the show. Of course, if you do develop an interest in watching the show afterwards, you can always watch my translations of it (shameless plug).

Directors: Yumiko Suda, Tsutomu Shibayama

Encoded from the JP BD.

Video: 1916 x 1036 H264
Audio: PCM

2 sub tracks, one with translated lyrics for all songs, the other with only plot-relevant translated lyrics (for those times you just want to soak in the animated musical segments but still want subs available for the other parts of the movie)

Notes:

This V2 is an attempt to make good by a movie that is near-and-dear to my heart. The V1 was the first translation I ever completed, with a sole intended audience of my girlfriend in mind. As such, it was full of TL errors, shoddy timing, doofy notes, and absolutely no style whatsoever. After I started working on the show itself, I started getting requests to work on the movies. Since I had this one sitting around already, I just set it free! It didn’t take long for this to start bothering me, as I feel this movie is the highlight of the whole Chibi Maruko-chan franchise, but my work on it was my worst effort. I’m happy to finally be able to rectify this. Cheers, and who knows, maybe I’ll put together a V3 in another 5 years.

Oooh! Thanks so much! 👍 Now replacing my old (1 Gb) from 2018 (which I’ve seen a couple of times together with all my folks) with this new one. It’s really a dear movie to us (just like the rest of all of Maruko-chan). Really appreciating your great job. ❤️

This is amazing thank you! hopefully one day you’ll do the BD for the first 1990 movie! thank you thank you!

@Rowri88 You mean the 1991-movie, right?
I have that as an .avi of 924 Mb with hard subs (translated by drvtech & MCKate).
I don’t remember where I got it from. Is there a better copy somewhere? I’ve been wondering too.
And surely, a better resolution (and soft subs) would be great.

@JackAssborn I dont think there is another version around
