How to send your fan mail and autograph requests to Makoto Shinkai?:
|
| If you want to request an autograph, follow the guidelines bellow. If you just want to mail a letter with the address above, and do not want anything back, then you can stop reading!
If you live in Japan send a properly stamped and self addressed envelope (minimum size 8.5" x 4") with your request letter and a photo.
You can include a piece of cardboard to keep the photo from bending in shipping and also add "Do Not Bend" on the envelopes.
Send your letter and wait. On average, there is going to be a 3+ month wait for a response.
If you do not live in Japan, add several* International Reply Coupons. The International Reply Coupons (IRC) will be used by the receiver to purchase japanese stamps. You can only get them at your post office. Place the IRCs into the envelope, not on it. For more information on reply coupons click here.

Got an email rejection from director Makoto Shinkai's studio - December 11th, 2024
I got an email rejection from director Makoto Shinkai's studio. The email address I left on the front of the fan letter received a reply from Makoto Shinkai Director's Studio this morning. The email stated that they had received my letter and thanked me for supporting director Makoto Shinkai, but that the director was too busy working on his film to respond to the autograph request. The director is looking forward to a face-to-face conversation, not a cold autograph.
I guess I'll have to learn some Japanese for everyday use. |
