In about an hour or so, it will be October 12 in Tokyo, Japan.
That will mark five years since I threw a dinner party at the Imperial Hotel in the Hibiya section of Tokyo with friends from Toho Co., Ltd. consisting of former Toho Pictures President Shogo Tomiyama, former Toho Los Angeles general managers Masaharu Ina and Shozo Watanabe, director Yoshikazu Ishii, translator Jessica Claros (in case translating were needed) and Denise Santos.
We dined at the Imperial Viking Sal, a buffet-style restaurant with a superb view of the National Diet Building.
Shin Godzilla was in production at the time and much of the dinner conversation centered around it.
It is amazing how quickly five years had passed.
I was considering going to Japan this year (around about this time), but the coronavirus pandemic put a stop on that idea. Next year, perhaps.
