@Titus Green Yes indeed, it was easy money back then!... although I only taught English for 6 months (on a tourist visa) before returning back to college in the U.S... My buddies were just visiting me for a week when we filmed this.
Technically is was "Gojira shiteru?" which is basically "(Do you) know Godzilla?". I didn't know much Japanese back then and was only armed with a few phrases.
Yes, the bubble was in full swing. It was their economic prowess that originally grabbed my interest.... More importantly, what happened to all my hair?!!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. However, I can't take all the credit for the BGM and editing on this one. My friend who's works in a recording studio helped me put this one together.
I know i'm late XD I believe he asked "Godzilla shitteru?" "Do you know Godzilla?" but I have to say these videos are GOLD !!! I went to Japan a year ago, I went back as a huge fan filled with good memories but when I see how the country looked like 30 years ago, its insane how it changed !!
