I Worked on the Set of a Godzilla Movie in Japan!

[@theYokoHiguchi]

I was wondering who Sharla was in the credits. I, too, worked on Shin Godzilla (more on the production side) so it's so awesome to hear your experience on the set, which was very different from mine.

[@acertainghost286]

Didn't knew that you worked on a Godzilla movie until the newest video you released, so I checked IMDB and it turns out you worked on two movies; That's incredible! 😄

[@sharlainjapan]

Worked on a few more but they didn’t credit me🥲🥲🥲

[@DominicanStud101]

@@sharlainjapan that is terrible!

[@gersonm2368]

Godzilla was one of my favorite childhood toys

[@jd-py5nm]

my brother and I had a giant godzilla robot with remote control loads of fun

[@JadeCanada237]

You should consider getting a custom archival frame for the scripts, bags and photos so you can preserve it all and display it

[@viccmignonettedellacrema1312]

Jade that's a cool idea!!

[@cc-9039]

Shin Godzilla has been my, hands down, most favorite movie in years. I managed to catch it in theaters twice and had it preordered the day it came up available in the US. It's absolutely everything I had been waiting for in a modern-era Godzilla movie. I can only hope Toho decides to follow with another movie. Kaiju movies have been in my life since the beginning. It's such a joy to see more (unexpected!) tibits about it pop up! ngl though, I'm absolutely jealous that there were so many extras available in Japan for the home release.

[@Seretheus]

I can't believe you met Hideaki Anno! Much less worked on a movie he directed! That's so awesome! My avatar is Kaworu from Evangelion lol.

[@jcgiacomi]

Those scripts look awesome. Something I leaned in college while getting my major in media studies is that 1 page of script = 1 minute of screen time. So 60 pages would be a 60 minute movie. I always found that really interesting.

[@kristenmalick-hatta4300]

love your new hair color😍 and omg so cool you got to work with Ishihara Satomi❤️I love her😁

[@kerrywilson5679]

Wow, Sharla! You are living a dream! (Especially working with the director of Evangelion.) You look absolutely gorgeous and that color sweater really compliments you! I've been watching your videos for years now and you have become some of my inspiration to study Japanese and hopefully study abroad! Thank you for making videos for us all; it's a real treat to have someone so sweet share her experiences with us! :)

[@andrean9413]

Use 3m strips to hang things on your wall! I use them and they keep your pictures hanging straight unlike hanging from a nail. They have ones that are like Velcro and they are great. When you want to move something you just pull and release the strip from the wall.

[@SH-of9wk]

That's so cool that you helped in the Godzilla movie. And all the Godzilla bags were cute.

[@Nao-vc4ep]

The movie was awesome! I watched the movie at cinema right after they shooted. The English pronunciation of 石原さとみ was as natural as we can possibly do. Great work and love you from Japan!

[@curtisdrago]

I enjoyed learning about your experience working on Godzilla. Your enthusiasm and pride in it was very nice to see.

[@Keirabug]

Oh my god. Ishihara Satomi is one of my favorite actresses/models! That's so cool! I fell in love with her as an actress when I saw Shitsuren Chocolatier

[@PalmTreeDayDreams]

Sharla I just love to see how far you've come in your life journey! It's wonderful to see you succeed and have all these amazing experiences! Thanks for sharing it with us ❤❤❤

[@MarSouta]

We're all SO proud of you! That's amazing, congratulations on all of your accomplishments in the movie!

[@FireflyArashi]

Jealous that you also got to work with Satomi! She's so amazing!

[@LilaKirby]

The movie was in cinemas in Germany for a day or so in March this year and we watched it! We loved it and I saw you in the credits! That made me smile :)

[@heatherbanyay]

Godzilla has been one of my favorite movie franchises since I was a wee little one. I remember watching them on Saturdays and Sundays when they would do day long marathons. Ahhh memories😄What an amazing opportunity you had.

[@antoinebcotes]

WOW that video was AWESOME. omg. i want to watch that movie now. CONGRATS!!!!! xx love you Sharla, so much!!!

[@WoahiFoundNemo]

I remember when you first mentioned it and I'm so happy to see it come to fruition! It's incredible and I'm so proud of how far you've come ☺️

[@tannercallis6535]

Sharla---this is so awesome!! While I'm not exactly acquainted with the Godzilla franchise yet, I do love Evangelion, and because Anno directed this it has become a MUST SEE for me! I think it's so incredible that you got to work with him (as well as the cast) and take that huge photo. You can tell your kids "Look, there's me and there's Anno!" How cool! This is one of my favorite vids from you, as it's inspiring to hear how your work aside from KZbin can pay off. Can't wait to buy the film and enjoy the fruits of everyone's hard work! ^ . ^

[@TheBlueClover2012]

so proud of you! seriously! i major in film n would love to work in the industry one day so seeing you do this is kinda exciting. i also recently got shortlisted for a live translator job n i'm so looking forward to it. Hooray for both of us.

[@bobcat24]

Satomi Ishihara is my favorite Japanese actress!! 😍 She’s so beautiful and elegant!

[@sharlainjapan]

She is soooo lovely in person too💕

[@bobcat24]

Sharmander That makes me so happy!! I hope to see her at a future G-Fest one day, if you know what that is. 🙂

[@ChoiLeelin]

Omg you worked with Ishihara Satomi 😻 I'm so jealous !

[@nyankosensei7303]

Congratulations on your latest project!!! Definitely a proud moment for you to be a part of something iconic! Good job!

[@virus86]

I love the movie! I watched it 3x on my trips to Japan. I hope to buy the 4k Bluray next time Im in Japan. Have you watched Evangelion, Sharla? There are so many Evangelion elements in the movie.

[@Monika-md4bv]

thats so cool! I'm so jealous that u have met satomi ishihara, I really like her and she is so pretty;)

[@stephanierestlessinseattle5261]

What a trip a cafe by my apartment in Seattle was screening this when I got my coffee this morning

[@stephanierestlessinseattle5261]

Bedlam Coffee on 2nd Ave its the best indie coffee shop in town

[@DasGav]

I was listening to you talk about this on the recent Abroad in Japan podcast. And I had watched Shin Godzilla and it's hard to believe Satomi Ishihara doesn't speak english! Well done!

[@sharlainjapan]

She did an amazing job! She’s an unbelievably hard worker :)

[@alexbeyond7939]

It's amazing that you had the chance to work on the movie! I'm really happy for you, you can be proud 😊

[@jd-py5nm]

i need to check again but i have not found it to watch yet here in the states can't wait to watch!

[@borrimami22]

The Godzilla tote bag with the colors was adorable lol

[@mayabewsher6987]

Wow so cool. Mothra is my favourite kaiju monster. Shin Gojira is a really good film and you got to meet Anno-san. He was great in Ghibli's Kaze tachinu

[@Catsandtea8]

amazing! Godzilla was one of the first things I watched as a child that introduced me to Japan. So awesome!

[@vivalabethakinz]

I would put all that stuff in frames and have a Godzilla shrine lol or a glass display case.

[@Ellamaybuttons]

Oh wow I remember you saying you were working on something secret! I actually finally got to see Shin Godzilla at the cinema a few days ago and I was thinking of you because of the English bits, it's so cool you worked on it.

[@woolpuppy]

This makes your Negora affinity even more fitting!

[@nolafirefly8596]

You are live the COOLEST life! congrats on being apart on the godzilla movie. Thats is Amazing!

[@janetclegg190]

3m command strips can be used to display your Godzilla archive without damaging the apartment walls xx

[@Teumedesu]

wow you got to work with ishihara satomi, she's one of my favorite actresses >.

[@csredmond518]

We finally got to watch the movie tonight. It was excellent! Congratulations on being a part of it all.

[@brianpetersen3429]

I remember Godzilla and Mothera movies being my favorites when I was in Jr High School.

[@MarieLyster]

Sharla, I have a really yummy vegan recipe to recommend you. Curry cauliflower and potato pot: 2tbs oil, 1 big chopped onion, 3 chopped garliccloves, 4cm grated ginger, 1.5ts turmeric powder, 2tbs curry powder, 2 cardamom capsules (take out the seeds), 3cm cinnamon stick (take out before eating), 1ts pepper, 1/2ts salt, 5tbs water, 1/2dl coconutmilk, 1 can of chopped tomatoes with chili, 1/2ts sugar, 1 cauliflower chopped, 2 potatoes chopped in dices, 1 large green chili (cut it in half and take out before eating), 1-2tbs lemonjuice.

[@MarieLyster]

Warm oil in a pot and cook the onion till it's soft, then add the ginger, turmeric, garlic, cumin, cardamom seeds, cinnamon, pepper, salt, currypowder, green chili and water. Cook for about 3 mins. Then add the tomatoes and sugar befor you add the cauliflower and potatoes, and cook for about 30 mins. (Until the cauliflower and potatoes becomes soft). Take the chili out and add lemonjuice. You can sprinkle with some coriander and serve with rice, nanbread, natural yoghurt or what you may like yourself.

[@hello.im.auggie]

Was this really necessary?

[@jessmullens5191]

Permafrost the Fox I'm keeping the recipe. Helpfulness is better than your negativity.

[@jessmullens5191]

MarieLyster Sounds delicious, thanks for sharing!

[@MarieLyster]

Permafrost the Fox: No, it was just to be nice to one of my favorite youtubers and maybe her followers too :)

[@Kansaimagic8]

Oh I like Ishihara Satomi! I seen some of the dramas she's been in.

[@taurranor]

I just watched the movie, you did a great job with the English dialogues. I was surprised the Japanese actors speak that good English, it's pretty rare. You coached them well

[@TheNaomeister]

The things you get to do when you're a dialogue coach! Maybe next Godzilla movie, they'll even give you a part in the film!

[@hauxani]

OH MY GOD ISHIHARA SATOMI YOU ARE SO LUCKY. SHES ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTRESSES OMGKDJSJS

[@twilightmoon311]

If you can't have nails/pins in the wall, how about the 3M sticky hooks? They are really really good! I use the big ones to hang my jeans. I haven't tried removing them, but they claim to be easy and mess free. Make your Godzilla living room! :D

[@crsh2007]

twilightmoon311 I use those hooks all the time, and they don't mark up the walls. It's a bit tricky and you need to really PULL on the sticky tape, but they work great! I love how they have the metal/decorative hooks, too!

[@Rose_from_UK]

I use them too!

[@danielle8585]

That's the coolest thing ever!! I'm so proud of you too >w< 💗💕💕💕 I remember you talking about this a few years back and I got so excited for you! I'm so proud 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@ryleh_horror1683]

We've been waiting for Shin Godzilla to be released forever! We watched it yesterday morning and we're completely blown away! That's so amazing that you worked on it!!!!

[@ryleh_horror1683]

Also Mothra is my fave, I'll get a tattoo eventually, but I also love Baragon and *don't laugh!* Hedorah

[@HarleyBoydRuatara]

They came out in the cinemas here in Australia and I watched it. Loved it!!!

[@teasadventures1623]

Another great video!! Thanks for sharing a tidbit into your life etc! Wow thats awesome! Can't wait to see that movie! The closest i have come to a movie set was that there was a movie being filmed on my street and the street behind my house (at night) and there were so many trailers parked along the street i thought it was so cool. They film a lot of movies/tv shows etc all over in my city here in Ontario :) Have an awesome Day! :)

[@NLMaverick]

You worked on a Godzilla movie, worked with Ishihara Satomi, and had your name in the credits 🤤🤤🤤 That's just amazing, I would've passed out upon receiving the job offer.

[@ambrite]

I loved this film! I remember hearing that you worked on this but wasn't sure because I hadn't heard you speak about it since.

[@lizm7866]

That is an awesome gig! Now I need to watch it and look for your credit in the film! :D

[@michelleigans4803]

I'm from Chicago and my brother is the biggest Godzilla fan. He saves up to go to Godzilla fest every year.

[@kawaiivikki]

I bought it on DVD also! When I watch it, I'll make sure to take a screenshot of your name in the credits and tweet it. 😄

[@adammoya1900]

I'm soooo jealous!! I'd be fanboy-ing big time on set...I'm glad you shared that with us big Godzilla fans! Thanks!🐲🐲🐲🐲

[@ljcl1859]

My family just watched this. I told my family about your contribution to the film. I watched the vlog that you posted before about working on the film. You did an awesome job. BTW, we had the same reaction to seeing the baby Godzilla. I was a little concerned at first. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to Godzilla, lol.

[@perdomot]

Been a Godzilla fan for almost 40 years and love that they finally started releasing the movies subtitled in the original Japanese a few years ago. Seeing the original Gojira WITHOUT Raymond Burr and the other inserted American scenes made the movie so much better. Do you have a fave Godzilla movie, not counting the one you worked with?

[@kxyr28]

this is so cool! hope you'll be able to share more of such projects in the future!

[@dipsybla]

Such a cool storytime video. That is so awesome that you got to work on such a movie. 🐙

[@Jennibubble]

We watched this on our flight over to Japan and we loved it! So freaking cool you got to be apart of it, but all your hard work was noticed.

[@mizusenshisongs]

So cool that you worked on that! I watched Godzilla: King of the Monsters recently which was my first time watching a Godzilla movie. I told this to a guy who rang me up at Kinokuniya in L.A. last week (cause they had a lot of Godzilla stuff there) and he said "Shin Godzilla" was good. I'll have to find a way to watch it now! They used to have a bunch of old Godzilla movies on US Netflix, but they're gone now. :( Have you seen King of the Monsters yet? Mothra actually plays a pretty big role in it. (Well, actually it's a Mothra larvae, so Mothra's kid I guess?)

[@deesselfies8505]

So cool! I love hearing about your work in the industry. I myself work as an artist in the Animation & Gaming industry so it's cool to hear about other parts of the industry, especially in a whole other country! :) I love getting swag from productions we've worked on. Your swag looks so cool! Congrats on working on such a cool production!! Looking forward to your next video :)

[@mizusenshisongs]

When you said Hideaki Anno I was like "Whaat?!". Especially after watching your "Photos of My First Time in Japan" video when you said you sang "Cruel Angel's Thesis" the first time you did karaoke in Japan. (That song is awesome btw). That's so cool you got to meet him. I saw him in a documentary about Studio Ghibli (he played some role in "The Wind Rises") and he seemed pretty nice. I still have not seen all of Evangelion - only like half of the original version (not Rebuild or whatever the most recent Evangelion release is called, but the original NGE from the '90's). I should finish watching it one of these days. They had some of the old Japanese Godzilla movies on Netflix in the U.S. for a while, but they disappeared before I was able to watch them. 😢 I saw a clip from the very first Godzilla movie (from like 1954) in a documentary about sci-fi, so I think that's what got me into it. They also were going to do a special showing of the first Mothra movie at a movie theater near me once, but I didn't go to it.

[@rachelmasseyart]

It's so cool that you worked on this, saw the trailer for it and both my bf and I immediately wanted to see it. Unfortunately here in the UK it's not showing everywhere so we might have to travel if we want to see it in the cinema.

[@fumomo]

literally shin godzilla is best movie of the year 2016 (in japan). your name show up in ending credits? it's freaking amazing!! o_O

[@tw1zt3d]

[@okayygiaa]

Can talk about how u met keyboard-San in ur next video?

[@dep3che]

DOOD!!... OMFG!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!! and to top it off you got to meet Hideaki Anno!!! I love how you're all casual about it because I would be doing back flips 24/7 !! For me just setting foot in the Evangelion store was enough to send me in an ear to ear grin for the two weeks I was there. But seriously, please frame all the movie scripts and photos because it is priceless history.

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

This sounds like fun. I'm glad you got the chance. I remember that video

You're totally my hero. What an amazing experience!

[@erinrobey6798]

I LOVED the new movie! It is SO AWESOME you worked on it! My husband and I saw it in theatres and both agree we might love it more than the original. We were both wondering what people living in Japan might think of all the government/beurocracy humor. I thought it was super great!

[@tonykartracer8032]

That's a great memory to have when you get old and you can tell your children.
