Several months ago, something amazing happened on the way to Twitter. In January, I received a message from Duo Creative on behalf TV Asahi (テレビ朝日) with request for a TV show appearance on their program “Land Sea Sky: Where on EARTH are we?” (陸海空 地球征服するなんて). I had to check my pulse. Could this be real? Indeed it was! About month later on Super Bowl Sunday a camera crew from the West coast arrive at my home. It was an amazing experience! I’m so grateful to TV Asahi, Shoko-Ando, David, and the entire Duo Creative team who worked to make this happen. The episode aired in March right around my birthday. I have not seen the episode yet and I will post it if and when it becomes available. Several people on Japanese twitter posted photos shown below (Thank you @tajimans and @kemushingodzi16). This experience took me back to my childhood years of watching and collecting Godzilla. Now my dream to be on Japanese TV for Godzilla has come true! Thank you so much TV Asahi!
