「我寧可當豬也不要當法西斯。」

第一次聽到這首歌，就被僅僅四個小節的前奏深深吸引——聽似明亮開闊的起音，卻在幾個轉折後漸入幽深；隨之而來的和聲似乎要觸碰內心深處最不可解的心事，又在懸而未決時放下一切、倏然拔高；而未完的餘韻，且留予最後一個屬和弦，靜待歌者緩緩訴說。

「偶爾也說說昔日吧，在那家常去的咖啡店，窗邊可以看到熟悉的路樹，點一杯咖啡，度過一整天……」

這首歌是宮崎駿動畫《紅豬》的片尾曲。《紅豬》於1992年上映，並長居日本動畫片票房紀錄之冠。

《紅豬》的定位原本是一片純娛樂性質、片長45分鐘、於航機上供旅客放鬆觀賞的動畫。

「它會吸引小孩及中年女性觀賞，但我們不要忘了，它就是設計給那些腦漿已經化為豆腐的中年男子觀看的電影。」宮崎駿在1991年的備忘錄中如此寫道。

但人算不如天算，天算不如宮崎駿算，在製作的過程，《紅豬》卻漸漸偏離原本的製作藍圖，加入了對法西斯主義的諷刺、反戰的思想、美麗的愛情故事，從原本娛樂旅客的機艙電影變成90分鐘的劇情動畫。

嗯可以，這很宮崎駿。

少數與動畫製作初衷相符的是，動畫裡中年男主角對自我價值的迷惑、厭惡、追尋、重建，仍然可以感動腦漿已經化為豆腐的中年男性觀眾吧。

三十幾年過去，無分性別年齡，這部《紅豬》仍是一些宮崎駿迷心中的第一名，這讓我稍感訝異。

感謝這次的吉他編曲機會，讓我能重新接觸這部精彩的動畫。雖然我的腦漿不只變成豆腐，可能快要變豆花了，所幸編曲能力沒有受到影響。希望大家都能聽聽這首作品，享受每個音符的當下，喝喝咖啡，說說昔日……。

"I'd rather be a pig than a fascist."

The first time I heard this song, I was deeply attracted by the prelude of only four bars - it seemed to start brightly and openly, but gradually became deeper after several turns; the harmony that followed seemed to touch the It touches the most inexplicable thoughts in the deepest part of one's heart, and when they are still unresolved, it lets go of everything and suddenly rises to a higher level; while the unfinished aftertaste is left to the last dominant chord, waiting for the singer to slowly tell the story.

"Occasionally, let's talk about the old days, when we were in that coffee shop we often went to, where we could see the familiar trees by the window, and we would order a cup of coffee and spend the whole day there..."

This song is the ending theme of Hayao Miyazaki's animation "Porco Rosso". "Porco Rosso" was released in 1992 and has long held the title of Japan's highest-grossing animated film.

"Porco Rosso" was originally positioned as a purely entertaining animation with a length of 45 minutes, which was intended for passengers to watch on airplanes to relax.

"It will appeal to children and middle-aged women, but we must not forget that it is a film designed for middle-aged men whose brains have turned to tofu," Miyazaki wrote in a 1991 memo.

But man proposes, God disposes, and God disposes, Hayao Miyazaki disposes. During the production process, Porco Rosso gradually deviated from the original production blueprint, adding satire on fascism, anti-war ideas, and a beautiful love story. It was originally an in-flight movie to entertain passengers, but it turned into a 90-minute feature animation.

Yes, it's very Miyazaki.

One of the few things that is consistent with the original intention of animation production is that the middle-aged male protagonist's confusion, disgust, pursuit, and reconstruction of self-worth in the animation can still move the middle-aged male audience whose brains have turned to tofu.

More than 30 years have passed, and I am a little surprised that "Porco Rosso" is still the number one film in the hearts of some Hayao Miyazaki fans, regardless of gender or age.

Thanks to this guitar arrangement opportunity, I was able to reconnect with this wonderful animation. Although my brain has not only turned into tofu, but is probably about to turn into tofu pudding, fortunately my ability to compose music has not been affected. I hope everyone can listen to this piece, enjoy the moment of each note, drink some coffee, and talk about the past...
