- Somehow, I managed to fit into this, the largest Godzilla suit ever built, 20-something years ago.
- I just learned of the passing of prolific actor Akira Nakao. He was friendly and warm whenever I met him on the Godzilla set. Once, when I was trying out Mothra puppets on "Tokyo SOS," he ran over from Stage 1 and said, "Let's take a funny photo!" RIP, Nakao-sama 🙇♂️ #中尾彬
- 8/27/2001: 22 years ago I donned the GMK Godzilla suit to learn...I don't have what it takes to be a suit actor!🥴From 192pg in "Behind the Kaiju Curtain," I detail the experience. Here are photos from the day I haven't shared, including my "epic battle" with suitmaker Shinada!
- 映画館で「Godzilla vs Kong」の展示物を撮っていたら、警備員が「写真撮ってる外人がいる！」と無線で連絡しはじめた。マネージャーが来て、結局大丈夫だったけど、もしアメリカで警備員に「JAPがいる！」と言われたらどう思う？「外国の方」「日本の方」というほうが正しいと思うな。
- 22 years ago, I took this shot of a staffer who'd brought his child to meet Godzilla. Things didn't go as planned and, well, the boy freaked out. (See pg 126 in BEHIND THE KAIJU CURTAIN.) Though the photo's been shared for years, I added mosaics as is etiquette in Japan nowadays.
- 8/11/2002: 21 years back - in those pre-paranoid days - I could easily bring friends to Toho. On this day, I took Bruce, one of my oldest Godzilla pals. Kitagawa-san was kind enough to wade across the big pool for a photo with my friend. Yeah, Bruce had a fab day that day. ;-)
- Don't I get an honorable mention? ;-)
- 2009年、東京の郊外で見かけたレンタルビデオ店。 『スターウォーズ 』を堂々と名乗れるのか？権利の問題は？と思わせてくれて最高だった。ここでビデオ借りてみたかったな…
- Here are 4 shots I took at the old HMV in Shibuya 17 years back (12/11/2004) when they had the "Final Wars" set used Godzilla and Gaigan suits on display. Gaigan appears to be guarding the "good" vids!
