TOHO Movie Special Effects Treasures Vol.1 Yosensha MOOK
Posted: Sun May 17, 2015 10:52 am
Looks like there is a new "Mook" (What the Japanese call a cross between a "Book" and a "Magazine") by Yosensha, who has been churning out some outstanding Godzilla-related books. They have a new one coming out tomorrow:

Just by skimming the cover using my rather crappy kana/kanji reading skills, it shows that the contents will contain info on G2016, Ultra Seven, KitaKawa Retrospective, Battle of the Sea of Japan (One of Ifukube's last films, about the Russo-Japanese War and the Battle of Tsushima) Beverly Lin from GvsMG74. I honestly have no idea if this "Mook" will become a regular series, but the fact that it says "Vol. 1" might be indicative that this could turn into a running series (It's amazing that Japan has no real equivalent of G-Fan Magazine that's widely available). The release date is 5/18 in Japan (tomorrow my time), so I'll try to pick it up and post some info and review of it.
