"Kiki the Witch Delivery Service" is a work about a 13-year-old witch, Kiki, who starts a delivery job in a seaside village and tries to be single, and is the representative animation of Studio Ghibli directed by Hayao Miyazaki in 1989.

"Kiki the Witch Delivery Service", which received a hot response with a box office profit of about 4.3 billion yen when it was released in Japan in 1989, is still loved by fans 37 years later. In particular, the fairytale mise-en-scène, the lovely novice witch Kiki, the chemistry of Gigi the cat who always stands by her, and the story that anyone who is about to start can't help but sympathize with, have warm comfort to many and have established themselves as Studio Ghibli's representative healing cinema.

"Kiki the Witch Delivery Service," which has proved the unchanging value of classical music over the years, will meet with the audience again in a 4K remastered version through this release. The 4K remastering release, which will deliver a clearer fairytale-like mise-en-scene, Hisaishi-jo's emotional soundtrack, and Kiki's flight scene, will give the audience a more expansive cinematic experience.

The teaser poster released along with the news of the release confirmed showed Kiki and Ji-ji sitting at the bakery and Kuchoki bakery in Osono, which became a haven in a strange village. Even in a warm space, Kiki's expression, which seems to be troubled, conveys both the excitement and anxiety faced by the girl who began her first independence. In addition to this, the copy of "Sometimes I'm tired, but I'm fine" captures Kiki's determination to endure the day bravely, foreshadowing a warm message of comfort to the audience.

Kiki the Witch Delivery Service, a healing cinema that will confirm the release of the 4K remaster and once again provide warm comfort to the audience, is scheduled to be released on April 15.
