Great video and insights! Btw I have that marui 1954 Godzilla I bought fr a hokkaido book off store for 25k JPY when I visited just before pandemic hit. It's still wrapped air tight when I flew it back with me lol. The rubber suit was still in great condition!
Godzilla 85 has the distinction of being the film title you see on the theatre marquee when Ferris and company are in the Chicago Loop It's a blink and you'll miss it moment but you definitely see it
Dude , this was seriously the coolest video you have done since the one about the yo yo cop school girl thing! Damn I want to come to Japan now to trip out on Gashapon machines and effed up vending machines and that crazy ass mall you go to to get all those figures! Damn
very fun video! I enjoyed hearing Norman talk about really anything, especially the Godzilla stuff! he has a very chill and kind demeaner, would love to see more videos with him going to hunting and telling stories! will check out the book!
I heard about the Sun Plaza going... what will the new landmark be? I thought they were supposed to finish the station for the Olympics, but hopefully I'll get to see everything in April again before it's gone. Always fun to see you out hunting!
Thanks for watching! I believe there is an article somewhere that shows an illustration of the new building it will be replaced with - needless to say, that whole front corner of Nakano will be unrecognizable in the next couple of years. Hopefully something tasteful!
Highly recommend it! I was blown away by the details and stories I never expected to find in it. The link to buy it on Amazon is posted in the description. Not sure how easy it is to find elsewhere. Anyway, glad you enjoyed the video!!
Nice catch! That is one downside to Mandarake, they NEVER write things like that in English (like that poster shop did), which goes for anything they sell. Not a complaint, but with so many international customers, you'd think they'd make an attempt... 🤷🏻
Hey, would it be possible that you mention the location of the Mandarake with the vintage posters (at 20:47)? I thought it was the broadway shop but the other videos and images from other youtubers I"ve seen dont really match what you show here. thanks!
Really fun video to watch, I could listen to Norman talk all day about Kaiju stuff.
Damn what a legend, I could listen to you to talk about this stuff all day, I feel like a podcast could even be in order?!?
You’re vloging style is so unique and therapeutic yet funny, I’m loving binge watching these 👏
Thank you so much!! Means a alot 💖
Awesome video with such an interesting chat, definitely gonna order that book 📕
Suprise twist at the end! Norman looks like a cool dude to hang out with. Ended up getting the book too. :D
really interesting, both for the chat and for the variety of shops shown

Great video! I collect Japanese Horror movie posters and programs and own a few of Norman’s books. It was fun watching you guys hang out!
if you want to go Godzilla hunting, you need to take the Taco Bell chihuahua with you.

This was such a fun video, TTB!
More interviews should feel like informal hang outs!
This is a fantastic Video Thank you.

I really enjoyed this video. Very interesting guest.
Another fine video. And I got to see you later that day at the Marusan popup!
Gah that multi colored hedorah when you were looking at the king gidorah. Want.
Ayo that zyuohger poster at 23:00
really good video
Thanks Stephen!
Awesome video! I think I will find his book. Looks like an interesting read.

Cool video Mr Nakano ..
@ 21:17 I notice now that the card on this poster states it's from a 1977 revival of "King Kong vs. Godzilla," thus the reasonable price.
Nice catch! That is one downside to Mandarake, they NEVER write things like that in English (like that poster shop did), which goes for anything they sell. Not a complaint, but with so many international customers, you'd think they'd make an attempt... 🤷🏻
Awesome.. 👍
How freaking weird I literally just posted about my mothra one on instagram today 😮
Just curious .. what happen to the painter.. love the graphic.
i've been going through some of my japanese books for videos on my channel. they were pretty popular videos...not as popular as cat videos, but still.
lol

This is all in Nakano Broadway. Mandarake has various niche shops throughout the building.
Cool..
random question what is your imperial jacket you have on?
TTB I Saw an Ultraman book how much does it go for these day's my favorite RUclipsr
There are LOADS of Ultraman books. They vary in prices, but usually something like 500yen to 5,000yen ($5-$50)
🤪🤪🤪
why the masks?
Covid restrictions were still in place until this Spring. We shot this video right before.
What movie is the poster that says gun at 23:11?
Norman said that it was Super Gun Lady: Police Branch 82 (for some reason RUclips kept removing his reply to you)
