While out and about in Shinjuku today, I spied this promotion for Ichikakuya restaurants. I wasn't in the mood for ramen, so I didn't partake, but I thought it was interesting enough to photograph, so here you go!

Hotel Gracery Shinjuku has a new Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)-themed display on the eighth floor of the hotel. On March 3, I stopped by the Hotel Gracery Shinjuku to check it out. Here's what I saw. Enjoy!

While shopping at Don Quijote Shinjuku Tonanguchi earlier tonight, I saw a familiar face while going down the stairs to exit the store. I never knew Godzilla could be seen there, but there you go. Enjoy!

See Godzilla Battle Kiryu in Shinjuku!

Until April 23, the 8th floor of the Hotel Gracery Shinjuku will be hosting a wonderful diorama featuring Godzilla's squaring off against Kiryu. It was quite a dynamic sight to behold, so let's let the photos do the rest of the talking. Enjoy!

Yesterday (Thursday, January 18), I stopped by the Godzilla Store Tokyo to see what was on offer. I really enjoyed the New Year's-themed displays that were there, but they're great every time I see them. Here's what I saw. Enjoy!

On the way home today, I stopped by Toho Cinemas Shinjuku and spotted the Godzilla-themed claw machines seen above and below. I don't believe they were there the last time I was in the theater, so I decided to snap a couple of pictures.

And another one! Photo by Brett Homenick.

The other thing that caight my attention was the massive banner promoting the upcoming release (in Japan) of Ridley Scott's Napoleon (2023), starring Joaquin Phoenix. The banner correctly notes that Phoenix won the Best Actor Oscar for Joker (2019), which remains untouched as the best film of the previous decade -- and then some.

I'll certainly be checking out Napoleon once it's released here. I don't think it will reach the heights that Joker did, but I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Today (Sunday, October 29), I visited the Godzilla head at the Hotel Gracery Shinjuku with my friend Jacob, who's visiting from the U.S. Instead of a thousand words, here's almost a thousand pictures -- enjoy!

Shinjuku has received its fair share of ballyhoo for the upcoming release of Godzilla Minus One (2023), due in theaters on November 3. Interestingly, the new Godzilla flick has to share some ad space with Gareth "Stone Age" Edwards' latest joint, The Creator (2023). Anyway, here's how Toho Cinemas Shinjuku looks at the moment. Enjoy!
