Viewing Notes

My favorite of the Showa era. There are a few scenes that just break me. The main one is when the Twins summon Mothra to help Japan. So sad. The song right before that is just amazing.

I also like how Mothra just shows up in Japan unnoticed (when she brings the fairies over the first time). So cool that Susumu Fujita has a small role here.
