 Hello and welcome to a special video. Today I've been invited down to see like an exclusive viewing of Time Diver. This is Japan's like biggest dinosaur show. I think it might be their only dinosaur show. T-Rex, Stegosaur, Allosaurus, Triceratops, Pregasaur. Anything you could think of is here. This is the first time that I've been to a dinosaur show so I'm really interested in looking forward to it. And I think if you are you know you're in Japan and you're thinking dinosaur enthusiasts like me you can't afford to miss this. So why not we waste any more time and just get to it shall we? I couldn't film any of the entrance as it was still being set up at the time but I was sent this footage by someone who attended the event when it was open. We did however get to film some of the merchandise including this amazing T-Rex which is based off the T-Rex in the actual show and only 500 of these were made. I was also told that the whole seating area rotates allowing for one stage to be on show while the other ones prepared in the bag. And I couldn't have prepared myself for what I was about to go into next. After climbing some steps I was greeted with this scene. And I have to admit this is a lot bigger than I was expecting and because we were invited to the rehearsal you know before the show actually opened to the public we had this whole area to ourselves and what happened to be on the stage nothing but an allosaur just you know practicing its moves. And with the screen closed and the lights dimmed we set up to capture the biggest dinosaur show in Japan. Hey look it's me! Apparently dinosaurs are gonna walk down the middle and um they might nibble on you but I can't wait to see it and I think they like the screen splits open and wow this is this is way more than I expected it to be 100%. Even though I don't understand Japanese too well I was able to understand the show well enough to know what was going on. We opened up with a little presentation of Earth's history and dinosaurs before kidnapping this unsuspecting woman and sending her back in time. I guess you could say she was the real time devil and with that we were teleported back in time to the Jurassic period which she seems absolutely thrilled about apparently super as she indeed and then we see our first dinosaur a mother and a baby stegosaurus as well as a hubbub versus dinosaur who was just kind of loitering in the background however it does have a cute interaction with the baby stegosaurus. What are you doing? All jokes aside these costumes looked really good even close up the eyes open and closed and even the thagamizer on the end of the stegosaurus tail swung back and forth best of all it even pooped and then all of a sudden an allosaurus appeared luckily I wasn't on the allosaurus menu today and in true dinosaur documentary fashion we had a tense scene where the allosaurus stalked the baby stegosaurus oh and then in true Japanese fashion we had this moment felt like it was right out of dragon ball and with that slight distraction buying some time the mother arrived but before the fight could really get underway it was interrupted by the giant of the Jurassic there really isn't any way that you can convey how big this thing actually was without being there it's like I'm watching tv except for it's coming right at me when I first saw it I thought it was quite small but as it got closer and closer to the front I realized just how gigantic this thing was it's a better interaction than Sarah holding now and I thought that some of these dinosaurs would be puppets on movable bases like when nobody saw of manning them but no these were all manned with people inside them so I have no idea how they did this brachiosaurus but that was the end of the Jurassic period then after a short jump through time we ended up in the ocean and to simulate that you were underwater they had these really cool jellyfish that almost moved in slow motion after now really avoiding being eaten by some mosasaurs we joined up with a pair of Utah raptors this is when it started to feel like a real dinosaur documentary they performed a courtship dance communicated with each other and protected their nest from an invading Utah raptor but alas it was all for naught as from nowhere a huge sandstorm came and killed them so that was cheery and then we had a 20-minute break well that was actually packed with a lot of motion as well and after seeing all those dinosaurs in front of me I thought I'd give the cameraman my best dinosaur impression I was told that they wanted to put more emphasis on the skies with this show so I was looking forward to seeing what they would do with it there was a little scene where a baby geostombersia dropped a fish and when the cretosaurus went over to investigate it was chased off by the male I have to say that this geostombersia looked really good I've seen a lot of dinosaur puppets and costumes in my time but not one as detailed as this is and the way it walked was super convincing I think they really pulled it up well here I also got my first ever close encounter with a dinosaur I felt like a regular old David Attenborough and they also had one suspended mid-air to simulate it flying which I thought was a nice touch the cotor raptor was up next after following it into the woods the screen opened up to an absolutely massive T-Rex and then another to cotor raptor appeared this one had a very stylish hairdo from what I could gather this T-Rex was dying and these guys were waiting around like vultures ready to pick the carcass clean and that's when the real T-Rex appeared who then scared off the raptors okay now guys brace yourselves it's about to get emotional so I didn't know if this T-Rex was also wanting to eat the bigger T-Rex but then I realized that wait that must be its mother now I don't really know how long T-Rex raised their young foe and at the end of the day it's a show and it's obvious they wanted to hit this emotional beat but that aside I think this scene really worked for me there wasn't any overly dramatic sad music playing in the background it just sort of played out in silence which isn't something we normally get with dinosaur media I feel you don't allow a scene to breathe and this one actually let it slowly unfold in front of you it wasn't rushed it wasn't boring it felt real and at this very emotional moment I did the only logical thing and took a selfie after the T-Rex passed away the to cotor raptors reappeared smelling death I assume one quick tussle with the T-Rex later and they finally got their dindins they did this really cool effect to show the T-Rex decomposition here and after that roller coaster of emotion we had a little play with the baby triceratops in the water oh is it that nice psych now the baby's in danger see you can never really predict where the show's going to go not wanting to be left out the T-Rex breaks up the squabbling decoder raptors and asserts its dominance and of course we get a very Jurassic Park-esque roar from it only thing missing is that banner that falls down in front of it saying dinosaurs rule the earth and then this happened right at this moment I was transported back to the time when I was a kid making edgy dinosaur music videos on youtube so I was warned that the T-Rex might nibble at you which I was preparing myself for however the cameraman wasn't and didn't show any interest to me I was ignored by T-Rex Senpai and if you thought the show didn't have anything else how does an adult triceratop sound oh but wait I forgot we still have the T-Rex to showcase and what better way to end it with a final battle between the triceratops and a T-Rex there were parts of the fight that were done in slow motion the music slowed down the lights changed and even the baby triceratops had its chance to shine and then the stage broke out in what felt like a battle royal and unfortunately I can't spoil the ending to the show but they did have a casting call at the end with all the dinosaurs in the cast which was quite cute and in the end T-Rex Senpai actually did notice me oh and we got to see the T-Rex come back to life so that the children don't have to take any emotional baggage home with them which is nice that was it the whole show and what a roller coaster that was we're at emotional moments with the T-Rex but then all of a sudden it broke out until I would seem to be a dino disco where T-Rex got the show basically what everyone had came here for T-Rex but wait there's more I was allowed to interview one of the CEOs behind the project Karamaru-san who I like to call Japan's John Hammond so we've just watched the the show it was amazing and is it okay if I just ask you a few questions about it thank you how did the idea for the show come about before it came about and that's when it all started that was the reason why I wanted to invite people to the museum well that movie had an impact on the Jurassic Park and that was the reason why I wanted to invite people to the museum I was working at the museum and at the time I was working at the Jurassic Park so I was wondering how many people would come to the museum if the dinosaurs walked out of the museum I also love the Jurassic Park second question how many people does it take to bring a production something like this to life with all the dinosaurs that are in the show I've seen there's like flying ones and even jellyfish I was wondering what was the most complex dinosaur to bring to the show three years oh so would you say that that was the most complicated wow okay apart from the brankis or neck going haywire it took taken three years what other obstacles did you encounter while making this production one thing I wanted to know is this runs for a month about this this show and I was wondering what happens to the dinosaurs when they're not performing on stage do they just get taken to storage or do they go on tour like what happens there so uh do kind of morrisan appreciated my attempt at japanese okay so they're like hide out for events and stuff oh okay you know what do you think of the character John Hammond in that movie would he bring dinosaurs back to life you have you ever tried to or if you could or take control of one of these dinosaurs have you ever done that I can oh which one it's been inside it yeah just now as our knowledge of dinosaur grows and we make new scientific discoveries how important is that to bring them to your show here I was having so much fun talking to another dinosaur enthusiast that I forgot to ask him what goes into choosing the dinosaurs that appear into the show so I had to be reminded to ask him the question if you could choose a dinosaur to be in the show which dinosaur would it be what are the plans for the future of the show where do you see it going from here do you see this going abroad would you take dinosaurs on vacation for example package well hopefully that happens I hope I hope it does well thank you for your time and I hope the next show is just as good as this one thank you so because this was my first proper project recording here in Japan I didn't record an outro so we're going to do one now so first off I just want to say a massive thank you to Kanamura san his passion for dinosaurs was infectious and he was an absolute joy to interview and I want to say thank you as well to the rest of the Dino Alive team for allowing us to basically have the entire stage to ourselves and allow us to get some amazing shots which I'm sure you've seen in the video of course this was my first ever dinosaur live show and it was one hell of a one to start with it was entertaining it had a bit of emotion it had of course dinosaur fights which is what we like to do with the channel of course and I had such a good time there's a lot of things I couldn't record because they weren't set up at the time when we went to record it but outside of the vicinity they've got like stalls set up where you can dig for dinosaurs a lot of things for kids as well as like a huge amount of merchandise I've seen the videos and stuff afterwards and there's a lot if there's something dinosaur related you're probably going to find it there and they even gave me this which is very generous of them which is the Dino Alive 2022 crew which you cannot buy and you can only get it if you worked on the show unless you're especially like me so I really appreciate it thank you guys that was really nice of you and hopefully in the future I can bring you more content like this because I had a blast recording this and until next time I'll see you cuties later Oh buh bye Hello everyone Sorry I was talking No it's fine You tell me when Okay three two one Three Hello everyone Okay wait I thought you wanted me to say it Okay maybe Two two
