I haven't heard about Ultraman here in Germany but this is a very funny pic. The man and the woman in the background seem to be totally unimpressed by his superhuman powers ;-).

Yes we don'n know Ultraman in Europe, but in Tokio there is a monument! A memorial too?

> Amande said : Mar 12, 2006 18:16

Funny :) But is this a statue or someone who wants to get some money? I might sound ridiculous but I was just wondering!

こんばんは。

お久しぶりです。このような像は浅草にあって全然知りませんでした!どこの辺にあるでしょうか。駅前かな?

> gck said : Mar 12, 2006 19:09

面白かった! 笑った。 Ultaman の頭を切らせないほが良いと思った。 でも、この写真は本当におかしいた。

He is defending the streets of your fair city.

What the ... ? - very cool - I want to visit Tokyo.

> PlasticTV said : Mar 12, 2006 23:07

Was the rotund man demonstrating the Ultraman pose?

Hmm... is there a life-size Godzilla somewhere in Tokyo too?

> Ashish Sidapara said : Mar 13, 2006 01:09

Lol! I think the ultraman is pissed off as the people sitting under his nose don't really care !!

Thanks Ella and Roberman!
I lived in Germany in my childhood. But I have never heard about 'Ultraman' at that time. The TV series are longtime sellers in Japan though.

Thanks Amande!
Umm. I do not know why the statue is stated in the city. I think it is a kind of attraction.

Jonさん、ありがとうございます!
このウルトラマンはさり気なく立っています。場所は浅草演芸ホールの近くだったと思います。

GCKさん、ありがとうございます!
僕も意気揚々としているウルトラマンがなんとも不思議でシャッターを切ってしまいました。

Thanks Micki!
Yes. He saves the earth from the crisises so many times in TV. :-P

Thanks Raymond!

Thanks PlasticTV!
He must take breath under the protection of 'Ultraman'.
There is a small statue of Godzilla in the city of Tokyo.

Thanks Ashish!
Umm. Ultraman might be tired of protecting people. :-P

i grew up watching ultraman! thanks for bringing back the memories.

> tetsu said : Mar 16, 2006 00:09

Thanks Tad!
Wow. Did you watch Ultraman? Where did you live?

> Solin said : Mar 16, 2006 11:05

Funny picture, I like the Ultraman hero from the old series! And about the pictures, it's interesting that it seems that Ultraman is looking ath the man sitting next to him, and that man doesn't care. Just a question, Why didn't you get into the frame the full Ultraman's head?

Regards

> tetsu said : Mar 16, 2006 20:44

Thanks Solin!
You know Ultraman, don't you? I wanted to put the feeling of the man sitting infront of the hero into the frame.

> Crash said : Mar 17, 2006 02:36

that is friggin hysterical! I just noticed the little guy in front of the statues ... looks like he's going to get pee'd on! I think B&W just adds a nice effect to this too ...

> tetsu said : Mar 17, 2006 02:57

Thanks Crash!
Hero never do such nuisances. :-P

> Alicia said : Apr 25, 2006 01:46

That is a large statue. There's a humorous contrast between it and the man in the photo.

> tetsu said : Apr 25, 2006 02:02

Thanks Alicia!!
