Prepare for Blast Off

I love how the smoke and rain drops mix in this photo of the Gundam statue at Tokyo’s Odaiba earlier today.

Gundam Revisited – Odaiba

I don’t know exactly when they put the giant Gundam statue up again in Odaiba, but it’s now officially open to the public and yesterday when I was there was even a rock band singing songs of praise to the giant! You might remember the last time Gundam was in Odaiba, back in the summer of 2009. I can’t wait to go back and check on it during the evening as well! This time though, the background was less dramatic than the Tokyo waterfront it was placed on in 2009. This time it’s a huge shopping mall. Well, you can’t win every time I guess!
