This thread is for the discussion of the language, culture, travel, daily life, etc. of Japan. Let's tark at randam in Japanese and English. Take it easy!
Do Mikos still possess Shamanic powers and enters in Trance state/Altered state of consciousness or did they stopped doing that a long time ago? Are Miko capable of casting curses and giving blessings?
This is Wikipedia's page on Japanese Mikos. If you are interested I think that it is interesting to read that translating at the translation site.

Yes, I read that Miko used to be Shaman example is the legendary Queen Himiko but the Meiji period banned shamanistic practices.
So the question is are modern Miko in current just ordinary girl now or do they still posses shamanic spiritual powers like in the past?

Current Mikos are mostly part time job people I think that few people make formal ceremonies at Mikos Except for a very small number of Mikos

I've (allegedly) watched it illegally 口噛み酒 was something I've heard about for the first time from this film But as far as the best part it was probably their conversation on top of the crater after he got out of the shrine or when he travels to her village and [spoiler alert] you realise there's a time gap
ウィキペディアによれば「君の名は」はロシアではまだ公開されてないみたいだ。 ロシアでは公開されないのかな。 it seems like the release date of "君の名は" has not been decided in Russia yet as far as I see Wikipedia. I wonder if it's not released there.
Jack Reed
It will probably be released eventually, but in like half a year or more, like other Shinkai's films.
