'Godzilla against Mechagodzilla' Returns to Japan?!

Could this mean a Godzilla against Mechagodzilla (2002) re-release?! Photo by Brett Homenick.

While changing trains in Yokohama Station on Saturday night, I spotted this amusing poster near the JR Lines ticket gate. While it may look like a re-release for Godzilla against Mechagodzilla (2002), it's just a poster for the Disaster Prevention and Crisis Management Committee, which is an effort of nine local prefectural and city governments in the Kanto area to hold joint drills and other countermeasures to -- you guessed it -- prevent disasters and crises. A previous committee poster featured Shin Godzilla (2016), which I used to see quite often in train stations. According to its website, there was even one with Ultraman, though I don't believe I ever saw that one. 

Anyway, it was certainly something surprising (and amusing) to see while changing trains.
