[1234orga]

get the info right

[ZooTycoonZilla]

Actoally godzilla kng of the monstera was released in Japan n 1993.

[iheartsupernatural]

this is the best thing i've seen in forever...yay godzilla went to canada...finally. :D

[Gamera35]

1954, not 1953

[volt445]

It must be a bad life for tofugu!

The buildings are too tall to smash!

[666shad0w666]

大きすぎる？　（笑）

かわいそうなゴジラさん！

[soveryyoung]

Lol @ Africa.

[PanndaKat]

わたし わ プラクル りさ です~

(Risa Plohk-uhrr)

lol did i do that right?

(sorry for leaving useless comments on your vid Dx)

[Brightstar27]

Your Hiragana and Katakana is fine, but you may need to revise particles and learn some basic Kanji! Keep at it! :D

Your sentence should look like this (adding spaces for language purposes);

私 [わたし] は ["わ" in particle form) {プラクル りさ} です.

[PanndaKat]

Hehe thanks ^D^

Ah, is japanese kanji the same as mandarin? because i know some mandarin :3

[Brightstar27]

Well, The Japanese Kanji do look the same to Chinese "Hanzi" of course, but they have different pronounciations. Personally I think its more simple in Japanese! =)

[PanndaKat]

Thanks ^^

Yeah japanese is easier i think

[Pompey1990]

Oh snap! Its a godzilla!

[dondons1987]

africa?

[Integreatedness]

That was awesome!

[Rainb0wP0cky]

lmao (:

[THEXGOS]

Bush sent Godzilla to all the Liberals that live in this town.

[xero545]

classic godzilla theme kicks in at 3:03

[C16H12FN3O3]

Brilliant!

[realwrino]

ish godshila!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SumiCho]

it looks like you had alot of fun making this video^^ ahaha

[CaitlinChaos11]

;O kawaii :]

[mylovelydame21]

Aw... poor Godzilla.

[narutosan]

i think like every couple sentences i heard "tashta" xD oh something like that. what's that mean. xP

[chieyoluv]

get a clue so weird

[JohtoKen]

アメリカの建物が高すぎる。

そしてゴジラは小さすぎる。ｗｗ

[GodzillaGeek]

ゴジラは1954年に現われた。

But I'm sure I'm not the first person to point that out.

Funny stuff, though.

[Kitchenyou10sull]

this is my fav movie I think. hahahahahaa this is awesome. Well done

[RC240]

Great! There's not many people who can make fun of themselves... Bravo!

[NihongoF]

So... What's the moral of the story?

[beckyboo900600]

I can't believe the artwork didn't sell. All I can say is the poor little fella should have tried England. There are plenty of people that would buy it here! I sold a piece of string to some random guy in London for £5.00 !!!

Haha this was funny! Although I couldn't figure the point in it. It was quite simple, so I suppose it was good Jap prac ahahh! Now how did u manage to think this up =P

[ZippoLag]

holy shit, I would've neverthought it was writting "gojira" (this knowing katakana thing is new to me)

[PanndaKat]

i thought it woulve been something like gozira but they don't have a z in japan i didn't think about that lol.

[demonvampireprincess]

koichi are you or viet in the costume?this was very funny

[tofugu]

it was me and it was my friend from school. No viet to be found in this one.

[kachiki]

Maybe I love you

[jorfdazn]

hey i will buy your artwork

[tofugu]

oh? I'll sell it to you :)

[jorfdazn]

yes how much for gigon, megalon, king kong, and ghidora

[tofugu]

hmmm, good question. I could do $20 for all of them...

[jorfdazn]

sounds good to me, how shall i go about paying you (B

[tofugu]

email me. Email's on my profile, thanks!

[demonvampireprincess]

oh.....ok

[jtiger87]

ある日ゴジラは東京を破壊中にキティに一目ぼれしちゃった。

aru hi gojira wa toukyou wo hakai chuu ni kiti ni hitomebore shichatta

xD haha! ;)

[miacarlax]

That sign!! "america's building are too tall"

totally amazing, did you make any money in the end hahah!

[koichiben]

just a couple of bucks, and we gave it to a homeless guy because we felt bad :(

[miacarlax]

hahah well arent you kind. You should of gave him your sign too.

[tofugu]

lol

[augusta051956]

Godzilla...I will vote for you for President, then you will have lots of money. By the way you live in Portland, Oregon !! I have moved, but enjoyed seeing the U.S.Bank tower again.

[Akatsukilover]

Oh noes... You has a Mac! :O

[koichiben]

godzilla would have nothing less! jk

[chuchubo]

I dont understand, koichi, I just read your tofugu website. and Im thinking, why do you want so much to let people who dont live in japan into mixi?I can just imagine how pointless the accounts made would be to let foreighners invited in there when they cant speak any japanese or have any japanese friends at all.I live in japan and I know japanese wont talk with people they have never met personally.its not the same as myspace.

[koichiben]

that's what i told people on my website, in reference to the "nobody likes you on mixi portion." Mostly, I just wrote a tutorial, and offered invitations, and suggested you actually know a decent amount of japanese...but yeah, I know what you mean, I bet there's a bunch of useless accounts. Still, your problem is solved, because you have to have a japanese mobile address now to join :) haha.

[noshy79]

hey godzilla works on a mac... that would make a great apple ad "iZilla"

[koichiben]

lol

[DinosaurJp]

ゴジラは喋れたのかぁ・・・感慨深いよ　コウちゃ～ん

Godzilla is so polite.

[Ninensei18]

That was sooooo good, very entertaining, and funny! But oh no, what will happen to Godzilla!?! =(

[kemushichan]

wow, the editing and work that went into the actual filming and creation is remarkable. What sort of camera did you use? (there were camera pans/etc. that tickled my curiousity). In any case, congrats on such a well composed piece!

[jeanrainbow]

[Cyr1216]

AH! i LIVE in hawaii, and i have been to the lagoon before! :D

[tigrederd]

are you implying that japanese people are short and they live in 3 foot buildings?

[tofugu]

definitely. Or americans are 500 feet tall and have incredibly huge buildings

[tigrederd]

wow, people really hated my sarcastic comment

[c0ri]

hard to believe you crammed all that into a 4+ min video. Seems like alot longer. Really brilliantly done!

[Kendodude]

YOU LIVE IN PORTLAND!!!

The portland grill is at the top of that building :D

Dude.

I'll help you GOJIRRAAAAAA! We can do it! First the Chinese Gardens then the Burnside! AND DESTROY THE OVERPRICEDNESS OF TOUDAI BUFFET!!! And cherish wonderful sushi at Kappaya!

[Kendodude]

[ClefairyOfDoom]

Godzilla, I missed you! Awesome video.

[chaos18999]

[Hideos1Playhouse]

Poor Godzilla... I love the drawings.

[yakuza987]

冗談、冗談！

仕事を見つけろよ！貧乏な化け物は・・・いやだと思うね！

[dkittykiss]

[moshimoshiumeboshi]

[MetalLicka777]

[yuu1989]

あの桜はポトマック川の桜ですか？

[bestiaccia]

Excellent!!!!!

[Tacofreak]

that was excellent. a very heart wrenching story. I do hope things work out for him.

[shaostyle]

where's my thank you letter that you promised, huh? and by the way, gochira, is my secret gay lover.

[tofugu]

after my thesis is finished!

[mellemoine]

I like the fact you put curling for Canada.

I would have thought hockey whould be the national sport, but I guess we have to stick to throwing rocks.

[tofugu]

I love curling so much though! :)

[uei08]

I Love u!! Lol

[Metaleks]

Poor Godzilla

[MagnaVox34]

That was great! Finally another Godzilla video, worth watching.

[sctoomon]

アメリカの建物が高すぎる・・・XD

チャンスがあったら、ギガンのを買いますよ。 Hecka can't wait for season two!!!

[greenday041605]

very good japanese. with slight envy from me. but, thats ok. im still working on my japanese, so my time will come too.

[chimera15]

You should go to hollywood and start by knocking down miniature filmsets... lol

[tofugu]

or Miniature World in Victoria, Canada!

[chimera15]

yeah!! lol

[tekunoredii]

Oooh I really enjoyed this. I also recognized that you filmed at Pioneer Square! I'm there everyday. Dang I wish I could have seen you, though of course I wouldn't have recognized you anyways. :)

[tofugu]

yeah, pioneer square was the best place we filmed. Strange fact: You can't set a tripod down in pioneer square w/o getting in trouble... But you can walk around with a camera. Weird, huh?

[tekunoredii]

That is weird. Did they get on your case about that?

[tofugu]

just warned me, because I had a tripod. I just carried my tripod connected to my camera and kept it off the ground

[Dimeboy696]

at first I laughed...but was left feeling strangely sad for gojora, I mean... whether you're alone or not being trapped in America is as fucked up as it gets lol

[meeserule]

haha, poor Godzilla...all alone and homeless.

[Sougen02]

Very entertaining Koichi! I enjoyed it 8)

[ACWraith]

Don't feel sad, Godzilla! I actually liked Final Wars and, someday, the third hibernation will end! Sure, you may be warped to another continuity and Toho may force you to produce movies at a ridiculous pace, but you will endure!

[Gabkicks]

the origanal godzilla was like 150meters tall, and the more recent one was like 350meters tall iirc. i used to be obsessed w/ gojira as a kid.

[crazypancho]

what the hell did I just see?! haha!

[matris1994]

awsem

[JSResponds]

"There are too many monsters in America." I can't express the brilliance of that line.

[MsDiplodocus]

Haha!

[forgetandforgive21]

lolz, poor Godzilla... And I agree; American buildings are too tall.

[hokittymea]

Cute! XD

[thebittersweetmyke1]

how .... lovely

[whyareyousooofat]

yay!

[KatoPotatoProduction]

lol
