A: Hey! Did you see the Studio Ghibli nengajo this year?

B: No way! Really? I missed it! What's new?

A: It’s super cute, like always. Miyazaki-san drew something for the Year of the Horse.

B: Oh, awesome! Is it a new drawing?

A: Yep! And this time, he used an ema design - you know, those little wooden plaques people write wishes on?

B: Wow, that's clever! I love that he incorporated that.

A: Right? But the biggest surprise is… they included a photo of Miyazaki-san and Toshio Suzuki-san!

B: Seriously?! A photo? That’s so rare! I haven’t seen him in a while.

A: Me too! It was taken in December, they were talking about plans for 2026.

B: That’s so heartwarming! I bet Ghibli fans are going crazy!

A: Definitely! They’re wishing everyone a Happy New Year, and thanking fans for their support.

B: So cool! I need to check it out online now! Happy New Year from Ghibli!
