11.03.2019: Godzilla Birthday Celebration in Tokyo

Live from Tokyo’s Godzilla Festival celebration, Kyle and his FanVasion crew talk about the event!

Wow – Tokyo knows how to throw a Godzilla celebration!

Today, I spent the day in Tokyo’s Ginza district at Godzilla Square with my group trip’s kaiju freaks (aka the Kaijucast FanVasion) and we had a great time! The stage shows were fun, the programming was great, the exclusives were super cool – I wish I could have tried some of the food truck-style food but phew! those lines were mega long!

In order to get this episode released ON godzilla’s birthday, it’s a little on the short side, but make sure to check out the two videos I linked to below too (and you can pretend YOU were there)!
