Godzilla head

The Godzilla head is a landmark and tourist attraction in Kabukichō, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. The sculpture is accessible from Hotel Gracery Shinjuku's Godzilla Terrace, on the Shinjuku Toho Building. It depicts Godzilla, occasionally with "glowing eyes and smoky breath".[1] The 80-ton head, based on Godzilla's appearance in Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992), was unveiled in 2015.[2] Its placement on the Hotel Gracery's terrace matches Godzilla's 50 metre height seen during the Showa era films in the franchise.[3][4]

gollark: PotatOS does, however, run its own BIOS to run user code more safely (though within the confines of the usual BIOS) and crash the actual BIOS's parallel-ing to run Polychoron on top.
