As HollywoodBob said, they are washed away from streets or coastal areas. also a lot of is from the ships that traverse the Pacific ocean. Over the short 40-50 years of plastic history, all those ships that went around the Pacific ocean pretty much just dumped all the garbage they produced while traveling into the ocean, since it is a "vast" place. What people over that period failed to realize till recent;y is that the "North Pacific Subtropical Gyre" formed by all the currents around Pacific ocean have pushed all the trash into one location forming the "great garbage patch". Since the only way for these man made polymers to degrade is UV ray from the sun over a long long exposure.(No microbes can break down plastic yet) being in the water shielded most of it from UV ray making it takes even longer to photodegrade.

To me it's not clear how this garbage actually leaves the dumps and ends in the ocean. It's not just stuff left on the beach that's pulled by the waves. It's not just stuff thrown overboard by seamen. It must be transported and conveniently dumped in the ocean while no one is looking. Probably the cheapest way to get rid of garbage, and it's been going on a large scale for decades. Ships travel between Asia and America with marchandise on one way, and have to be filled with something on their return. I wonder if half of all the plastic bottles sent to China for recycling ever get there.
Please AQUAMAN!! We need you!!

It's from the film Kiki's Kiki's Delivery Service. You can get that on DVD.
As to the Concert itself, it was a Studio GHIBLI concert. August 2008. I am not sure if the concert footage is on dvd outside of Japan, I think you may be able to get the concert on dvd from Amazon JP.

Hey, thanks! I am in the process of sifting an awesome concert footage from a GHIBLI Music Concert. It rocked my world, http://www.videosift.com/video/GHIBLI-Concert-Part-1-Nausicaa-of-the-Valley-Wind. I saw that you enjoyed Pom poko Tanuki 2nd time around. What was different?

This would be in China instead of Japan.

So... If warlocks are not heroes and are enemies of god, what about Witchaloks and Wolfiods?
