Our pal Ricky “Velocitron” Wilson just did a cool interview for a Japanese online magazine by the name of Metropolis. It’s a good read for anyone interested in Kaiju.

I like how they referred to Kaiju as a “subculture within a subculture” and later went to compare the runs of Kaiju to “low-run punk and hardcore records.” For everyone that knows, well…  you know why that has significance.

I also found it pretty funny that the article barely mentions Kaiju anywhere in it. They instead focus mostly on “designer vinyl.” I think that’s a good reason why Kaiju will never get as big as urban vinyl has. I think Kaiju and the fervor it creates just goes over most people’s heads. It will always have a place though in the toy collecting scene and continue to fuel its own underground movement, regardless of the trends.
