New Book

I do not know what it is called due to my limited Japanese, but the title seems to be titled "Tokusatsu 魂 ~Toho 特撮奮戦記~". I do not know much more than that. It goes for $24. And again, it seems that someone is happy with Koichi Kawakita's work. The cover is beautiful to say the least.

UPDATE:
My friend KaijuNoMura has posted some information reguarding this publication here:

UPDATE NO. 2:
Turns out I got two diffrent translations of the title. Both from friends, one is "Koichi Kitagawa, The Spirits of Special Effects, The brave fight of Toho SFX Team" and the other being "Toho Tokusatsu - Tokusatsu Brave(ly) Souls". Take it as you wish.

  2. Amazon Japan and other Japanese books stores for now. You may also want to go to your import book store if you have one. I got a Japanese book store in Atlanta I could go to for this book and many others.

  4. Wow, you're in the UK? Awesome! I do not hear from British fans alot, mostly because you guys have been starved of kaiju eiga if I am correct.

  5. I contacted my buddy Issa in Tokyo and asked if he would translate the cover for you (Besides I am curious too!)

  8. Yup, not a lot of Kaiju stuff here, sometimes I wonder if I've got the most amount of Godzilla stuff in the country. I doubt it, but still! :)
