Sounds like the location out of some kind of arcade-style fishing game by SEGA. :lol:

I'm about 100% sure it's called Birth Island. It's mentioned in both SPACEGODZILLA and DESTOROYAH.

If we were conversing in Japanese, then that would make sense.

Anyways, consider the subject dropped. Sorry for the derailment.

I'm not really too familiar with the DESTOROYAH dub. It's one of the absolute worst, IMO.

The several subtitled versions I've watched throughout my life have always used "Birth Island" as the location's translated name.

This is the song that's being played at the Osaka concert before Godzilla's attack.

I remember when I first heard that song start up I was like "...what is happening?" then they cancel the concert. :lol:

Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

After 13 Showa films and the two Kiryu movies, I finally showed my fiance her first Heisei Godzilla movie today. She thought elements of "Biollante" were well done, but thought the story was all over the place to the point where it was confusing and that the music wasn't appropriate. Wasn't that what EVERYONE was saying about this movie until recently, when all of a sudden people starting hailing it as a masterpiece? Watching it with a critical eye, this movie doesn't have a lot going for it apart from GREAT special effects that had a nice fresh feeling about them. And all of THAT goodwill was gone by 1992.
