Ghibli ga Ippai Collection

Background: The Ghibli ga Ippai Collection (ジブリがいっぱい COLLECTION) is a label used by Walt Disney Studios Japan (Formally Buena Vista Home Entertainment Japan) used for Studio Ghibli Home Media releases (VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray).

(June 27, 1997-present) Ghibli ga Ippai Collection (2001) Logo: On a white background, we see a drawing of Mei from My Neighbor Totoro with pink cheeks and a shadow walking on the spot. Afterwards, it cuts to the letters ジブリが (Ghibli ga) appearing letter by letter, with the "Ghibli" part in a brown color, made out of tree stumps, Acorns, Mushrooms and Susuwatari (Soot Gremlins) and the "Ga" part in green. Afterwards, the remaining Japanese text いっぱい (Ippai) appears below in the same green color, followed with the English word "COLLECTION" in a black font fading below all the Japanese text.

FX/SFX: The animation used in the logo. Quite nice, actually.

Music/Sounds: A cheerful and bouncy version of “Hey Let’s Go”/“Sanpo” from My Neighbor Totoro composed by Joe Hisaishi. This version of the song is actually a shortened version of the track "Let's Go to the Hospital!" from the movie and it's album, also composed by Hisaishi.

Availability: Appears on Japanese Studio Ghibli Home Media material distributed by Walt Disney Studios Japan starting with the 1997 VHS release of My Neighbor Totoro and has been used since on all products released under the label. It might appear on Taiwanese and Chinese releases as well.

Editor's Note: Fans of Studio Ghibli would like this logo.
