A cheerful parking attendant considers it his job to do more than validate parking. He wants to validate the customers themselves, delivering compliments about their appearances and the inner qualities behind them. Everyone who comes up to him with a ticket walks away validated as a worthwhile human being. Soon, the parking attendant becomes so popular that people line up for validation. He appears on news broadcasts and even ends up validating George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein. His life hits a roadblock when he goes to the DMV to get his driver’s license photo taken and is met with a beautiful photographer whom he can’t get to smile. Written by J. Spurlin

It was originally released in CD form, also including soundtrack, but the CD is now out of print and it is included in the DVD version of Shinkai’s later work, Voices of a Distant Star.
E90-1248 is working as a sorter of building material in one of two towers which are facing each other in an endless expanse of water. His life is dedicated to the growth of the tower, because the water level is rising.
When an accident happens, he finds himself in the bottom storey of the building, a place where all those people are shunted off to, whom the upper storeys of the tower can no longer accommodate. E90-1248 becomes aware of the fact that the tower is well on its way to destroy itself and that he is the only person able to save the human race from perishing.
