"バルス" will save the world?
Laputa: Castle in the sky
It's one of Ghibli's animation that had been shown in 1986.
Well, the animation was shown before my born.
The animation was directed by Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎駿), but it was not so good at box office record at first time. But it have really high customer satisfaction according to some sources.
The animation was shown in several times on TV too. Last Friday, the Japanese TV station and one of the partner of Ghibli studio Nippon TV(日本テレビ) showed Laputa again.
According to the video research which is providing viewing rates for each programs that on-aired, the viewing rates of Friday's "Laputa: Castle in the Sky" was 15.9%. It's not so high, but these days the viewing rates are really low then it was not bad rates.
バルス Bals
In the ending of Laputa, there is the word "Bals(バルス)". I don't know this word came from, but this is really famous word for Laputa lovers. This word is keyword to destroy the world of Laputa.
Laputa was aired in 2009, last time. At that time the Japan's largest BBS 2チャンネル(2ch) was knocked down because many people try to write about the バルス(Bals) at the same time.
2 years ago...
Nippon TV aired Laputa again and at this time. Many people tweeted about "バルス(Bals)" at the same time.
Well, here is what happened at that time.
According to the tweet counter the unofficial twitter counter, the TPS(tweet per seconds) at the time of バルス on aired on TV was marked 14594 TPS.
Well, it's nearly doubled the previous world's record 8868 TPS that made by news of Beyonce's pregnancy.
I think, it's crazy. Of course, I didn't tweet about バルス(Bals) because I was working at that time...
Have you ever watched Laputa?
Thank you.
