Tonight was another fun evening spent in the company of two tokusatsu titans from Toho Studios, namely Teruyoshi Nakano and Takashi Naganuma.

Nakano-san and Naganuma-san are two of the nicest gents you could ever meet. (I know I say that about a number of people, but if the shoe fits...) I brought a DVD sleeve of The Imperial Navy (1981) and a booklet for Submersion of Japan (1973) for Nakano-san to sign, and both items look great with his autograph.

Getting ready for dinner with Teruyoshi Nakano.

As always, we all shared many laughs, and a great time was had by all. I make it a point to attend as many of these shindigs as I can. After all, stuff like this is why I came to Japan in the first place! 

A double thumbs-up from Takashi Naganuma and yours truly!

And so the weekend officially comes to a close. Gotta get ready for work tomorrow. But what an incredible weekend it was!
