Day 1
In my dreams, a place I can go anytime
A beautiful person, like that scenery
What only we can see
Okay, let's begin! Everyone whisper this.
Day 2
Finding Cats in Ehime
So now, the direction I should run is
Because of you, I became a wizard
Day 3
Cross the strait
Memories of the four of us
A door you can't enter, a place you shouldn't go
Night parties and lonely dreams
Day 4
Landscapes that can be seen but cannot be touched
A garden-like room
When the cork of heaven comes off
Once again
Day 5
The only door you can enter is
depart
What are you looking for?
The appearance of Sadaijin
Things I want to do
hometown
The other world
The village is still burning
Time for everything
Day 6 and the follow-up story
The story of that day

Into the book
“Are you there? The handsome guy!”
No, I don't know what else to call it.
We crossed a small stone bridge and went to an abandoned hotel that was once the centerpiece of the resort.
Because it was a circular concrete structure, it stood out from the surrounding abandoned buildings.
“Excuse me…….”
I stepped into the spacious hotel lobby.
A few sofas lay on the floor, which was strewn with rubble, and huge curtains were torn and hanging from the windows.
“Hello! Excuse me, is anyone here?”
I walked down the dark hallway, looking around.
It's a hot day, but actually, I've been getting goosebumps on my back for a while now.
Is it because it's a ruin? He raised his voice even louder.
“Hey, it’s me! I think I’ve seen you somewhere!”
As I made the sound, I suddenly wondered what it was.
Isn't this exactly the kind of cliche that men use to seduce women on the street?
--- p.23
I filled the water and started running.
I approached his back.
As I ran, I stretched out both hands forward and pushed the door with all my might.
“You……!” The young man looked at me with surprised eyes.
"why?!"
“Here, we have to close it!”
I shouted like that and pushed open the door alongside him.
An unbearable sense of foreboding was transmitted through the thin planks.
I mustered up my strength to push away that discomfort.
I could feel the youth's strength growing through my palms.
The door slowly closed with a creaking sound.
… … A song? I suddenly realized.
The young man muttered something very quietly as he closed the door.
--- p.38
“Who put the stone in?”
“Oh, that’s…….”
“Did you put the sota in?”
"yes.
That's... ... but."
“Answer!”
Suddenly, the grandfather shouted loudly.
“I’m leaving!”
He answered as if he was being pushed.
"Really? That's enough! If you hadn't stuck it in, a million people would have died last night.
You stopped it.
“Keep that in your heart as a source of pride for the rest of your life and keep your mouth shut… … .”
The tone became stronger.
The grandfather spoke in a voice that seemed to shake the air.
“……Go back to the world you were in!”
I took a step back on my own under the pressure of a strong wind.
Grandfather let out a long, deep sigh.
He seemed tired of talking, so he closed his eyes again and turned his face toward the ceiling, speaking quietly.
“……This is something that ordinary people should not get involved in.
“Forget everything.”
No, I don't know what else to call it.

Publisher's Review
Makoto Shinkai on March 8, 2023
Come back again
The name Makoto Shinkai has become deeply engraved in the hearts of animation fans around the world thanks to the global hit “Your Name.”
And the following film, Weathering with You, received both praise such as “As expected from Makoto Shinkai” and the evaluation that it was “an unexpected and surprising work.”
This time, "The Sparrow's Door Lock" is a satisfying new work that shows a different side of Makoto Shinkai, while also making you nod your head in agreement, saying, "As expected, Makoto Shinkai."
If you see the more skilled character designs that are likely to gain popularity among fans, and the more actively expressed events and worldview in the work, you will be unable to deny that “this is a work that only Makoto Shinkai can express.”
The setting of the work is expanded compared to the previous work.
A road movie traveling across Japan
Director Makoto Shinkai's works are realistic.
There are only a handful of works that completely lack fantasy and science fiction elements, but despite this, the delicate and beautiful backgrounds of the tombs and the characters that are immersed within them have many fans who make a pilgrimage to these works.
This time, 『Suzume's Lockdown』 is also like that.
Suzume travels throughout Japan, from her hometown of Kyushu to the Tohoku region, Kansai region, Shikoku, and finally to Tokyo.
As a high school student, Suzume is constantly moving towards an unknown territory she has never been to before.
Even in places where ordinary people can never go, Suzume boldly jumps in.
Fans will also be able to enjoy seeing how many kilometers Suzume has traveled in the work.
Makoto Shinkai of the past and future
A work that stands on that borderline
This work also honestly contains the emotions that director Makoto Shinkai felt while creating this work and the motivation that led him to create it.
Fans who have seen and read the works after "Your Name" will have guessed to some extent that Director Makoto Shinkai's thoughts are completely written in print.
Although this is not a long author's note, it will be an opportunity for fans of Makoto Shinkai to see where his creative work comes from.
Also, we will be looking forward to what kind of work Director Makoto Shinkai will present in the future.
This book, "Suzume's Lockdown," is an original novel that will quench the thirst of fans who have been patiently waiting for the film to be released before its Korean release date of March 8, 2023, and is a great gift that will fill in the missing pieces that cannot be found by just watching the video.
