Do we know for sure that Mikako was drafted or did she willingly go? The general storyline and her relationship with Noboru suggests to me (in an idealistic, romantic way) that she was drafted; however, some details in dialogue and description suggest that volunteered. Can someone clear this up for me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.113.148.201 (talk) 10:08, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
I haven't seen this, but based on the title and the description, this sounds like it owes a debt to Arthur C. Clarke's The Songs of Distant Earth - specifically, in the idea of two people communicating across an increasingly vast and irrevocable gulf of space and time. Does anyone know of any definite link? Has anyone both seen the film and read the book? -- Tom A 2011-02-27 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.96.235.0 (talk) 22:51, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

You seem to have a small staff now. Do you wish you'd had that staff available when you did Voices of a Distant Star?
MS: As you say, right now I have a staff. But when I was doing Voices of a Distant Star, it was a self-made indie film; I even voiced it. At the time I felt a deep satisfaction that I was able to make the film by myself. On the other hand my staff is almost like my family, so now when I work alone, sooner or later I start to feel lonely. Still, that's sort of a what-if question; what it would have been like having my staff with me for Voices never really occurred to me.
...Throughout the course of your career, in what ways do you feel you've developed as a director and how would you like to develop further in the future?
MS: I debuted with Voices of a Distant Star, but I'm not sure if I could call that "directing," since I made it by myself. It's my work, so yes, I was called "director." But I didn't really understand what "directing" was at the time. All the works after that involved working with other people in order to make the animation come out...but still, I wasn't sure about what "directing" meant. I drew the pictures myself, and directed others in certain ways...but it's been a learning process. After two years working on [Hoshi o Ou Kodomo], I think I finally understand what being an animation director is about. I feel like this is my real directorial debut. Now that I've learned how to be a director, I think "yes, I want to make the next movie as a director." So I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do as a director on my next project.

The claim that the inspiration was from texting Shinkai's wife while working seems to contradict other sources that Shinkai was not married at the time.
