Found this wonderful mini behind the scenes of Kure Kure Takora documentary.
Totally inspirational stuff!
Makes me want to buy a block of foam and make a hot wire cutter and start a YouTube channel or try to hunt down the Kure Kure Takora DVD. Whichever is easiest...

Fantastic! That is such a great video. Brilliant find, and thanks for sharing. So interesting to see the development, I just wish I could get some English subtitles to work for these amazing videos. I really have to brush up on my Japanese; there is a whole world of undiscovered gems like this one waiting to fill my brain with their eclectic knowledge.

Yes isn't it great! I think this was a feature on the DVD collection.
I wish there was subtitles too but I watched it with the wobbly translated auto generated Japanese Close Captions.
Kind of worked.

So great! Thanks for sharing! This is so amazing!
On our visit to Toho studios last Japan trip I had asked our tour guide if Kure Kure was filmed somewhere on the lot, and he told me yes, at one time there was a TV show division there (Not anymore). I just had to make sure I was on the same blessed ground it was filmed, as it's one of my favorites.
Toho isn't exactly the biggest of studios. So I imagine the shooting schedule for the whole series must have been pretty tight!
