2026 is being celebrated by Toho as Mothra Year, as this year marks both 65 years since Mothra first appeared on screen, and also 30 years since the Heisei-era Mothra trilogy.

Mothra's my girl (my wife knows, and she's okay with it). 😍

Stickers are arguably the hottest commodity in Japan right now. And they’re not just for children — adults are splurging in bulk. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/28/japan/society/japan-sticker-craze/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #socialmedia #instagram #heisei

“What I love is the way life back (during the Heisei Era) seemed full of energy — almost to excess. It was messy, blingy, over the top. It carried this feeling of: ‘I’m doing things my way. Got a problem with that?’” https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/12/06/lifestyle/heisei-retro-gen-z-fashion-cafe/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #lifestyle #heisei #showa #cafes #japanesefashion

Recently discovered Noriyoshi Ohrai's work - mostly known for the posters to Star Wars and Heisei Godzilla films. I may need to get these printed and framed.

The Heisei Gamera trilogy: Guardian of the Universe, Attack of Legion and Revenge of Iris; is considered one of the high benchmarks of Kaiju films. Those three films excel with story, special effects and Kaiju design… This is not one of those films… no, this is the first film starring the giant turtle that later on those 3 films would make amazing, but before that…

宮沢りえ  ドリームラッシュ [Japan, 1989]

One of my favorite songs from the late 1980's Japanese Music and still worthy to be listened today.
And Rie was so cute at that time!

"The 1964 Tokyo Olympics was only a moment in time, but that bright flash of summer will be forever remembered by those who were there. For the rest of us, only weary concrete remains."
