The tanukis lived a life of bliss and partying before the humans arrived. It is broadcast once every few years on Nippon Television's Friday Road SHOW! programming block. The film was released as part of the Ghibli ga Ippai COLLECTION series and shipped 400,000 units in Japan. It won the 49th Mainichi Film Award for Best Animation Film and the Grand Prix of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival Feature Film in 1995. The film earned ¥2.6 billion in the Japanese box office in 1994. Its poster's catchphrase is "Even raccoon dogs are doing their best." (タヌキだってがんばってるんだよォ), which was coined by Shigesato Itoi. This was the first Ghibli film to use CG effects. The story is set in Tama New Town where racoon dogs form a resistance against the encroaching humans. Takahata initially tried to adapt the 12th century war epic The Tale of the Heike (平家物語, Heike Monogatari), but opted to instead write an original scenario using his co-founders' original story about raccoon dogs. The film was first conceptualized by Ghibli co-founders Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki, who later decided to hand the project to Isao Takahata. ![]() Specifically, the phrase started as a jocular explanation of meditative percussion at Shōjō-ji taken up in a 1919 poem by Ujō Noguchi, which became a popular nursery rhyme recorded in 1925. The phrase Pom Poko in the title refers to the sound of bake-danuki drumming their own bellies as a form of tanuki-bayashi. This is the first feature film produced at Ghibli's new animation studio at Koganei, Tokyo, and is the first original work written and directed by Isao Takahata. It was distributed by Toho and released on July 16, 1994.

Like many other brands, they went a bit overboard with the mystical mumbo-jumbo marketing, but I attribute that more to BO than Tanuki, since their IG account has always been pretty sparse on words (granted, those words also tend to be overkill on the whole mysterious brand thing). With decades of cumulative experience in denim manufacturing, the mysterious team behind Tanuki is able to develop interesting and unique techniques for shuttle looms to create one-of-a-kind fabrics, sewing them into jeans that elevate Japanese denim to yet another level. Being largely unknown, a lot of people assume they just jumped on the same bandwagon, and after Kiya kind of poo-poo'd them, a lot of other people followed suit. In all fairness, I can't particularly see anything that makes them really stand out over some of the others, which, if memory serves, was Kiya's biggest gripe. It seems like a brand for people looking at multiple different brands in one denim, but no one particular detail stands out.

That said, I haven't seen them in person, but the photos I see remind me a lot of Oni or PBJ on the Slub-side of things, and I haven't heard of any complaints from those who actually have and wear them. ![]() This is a pair that was initially released in 2018 and sold out with the quickness, however it was never released in this cut, which is one of my favorites, so needless to say I was very excited to have the opportunity to pick up a pair. ![]()
