What is the content of “Tokyo night & Light”?
As of 2024/07, “Tokyo night & Light” will feature a powerful depiction of “Godzilla” suddenly attacking the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building No. 1 and the humans who are trying to drive him away.
Godzilla is a globally popular content that Japan is proud of, as “Godzilla-1.0,” a film commemorating the 70th anniversary of the birth of Godzilla, was released last year and was a huge hit around the world. In particular, the Shinjuku area and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building are known as spots with deep ties to Godzilla, which is also related to the fact that Godzilla is used as a subject matter!
The content is not limited to Godzilla, but also includes large figures reminiscent of the ancient capital.

Impression of “Tokyo night & Light
In a word, I enjoyed the film more than I expected!
The film is large enough to give the viewer a realistic impression of the power of Godzilla!
I liked the reality of Godzilla actually rampaging right in front of me.
There were a lot of tourists visiting, and it was so exciting that the plaza was filled with people.
