We're devastated to learn about the sudden passing of our friend, the legendary Tom Kane.
As the original voice of Takeo Masaki and countless other beloved roles over the years, Tom's iconic talent and unwavering kindness will last with us all our lives.
Our thoughts go out to his loved ones, and he will always be in our hearts.
— Did you hear it?
— What?
— The rails.
The Zone has something strange about them. Even when everything is quiet around you, they aren’t fully silent. They lay in the rusted weeds, crooked, darkened by the time, but still remember the weight. Wheels. People.
The railroad was built here long before the Catastrophe. Back when no one could have imagined a reactor, an evacuation, or the Zone itself. It was an ordinary line. Trains ran through Yaniv, passenger diesel trains were common. People stepped onto the platform; some met someone; others went on. An ordinary road. There were hundreds like it across the country.
And then it, like everything else here, was reshaped for a different life.
More precisely, for what remained after life.
One branch remained for service trains - through Semykhody, for those who traveled to the station to work. The others lay dormant for a long time, until they were repurposed for entirely different uses: for fuel, storage, technical logistics, and, no doubt, transporting something through some grim back alleys. In other words, the rails didn’t disappear. They simply changed hands.
And that is the essence of local railroad.
It doesn’t look like anything special. Rails, ballast, switches, old platforms. Rust in some places, new metal in others. But if you know what used to be right here and where all those rails lead, it feels completely different.
And when you look at these tracks stretching into the distance, there’s a strange feeling lurking behind it all, as if the road hasn’t ended yet, and it’s just that the destination is different now.
And it exists not for people, but for the Zone.

‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ will be an anti-war film that mirrors the current state of the world, according to Takashi Yamazaki.
“The interpretation of Godzilla that my team has taken stewardship of is really Godzilla as a metaphor and symbol for war and nuclear weapons. If you look at the geopolitical landscape of our own world right now, and how there are talks and whispers of war everywhere. I think this idea to forgive is perhaps more important than ever. I hope that I can kind of continue on that theme to make sure it's a part of whatever the experience is.”

Takashi Yamazaki says ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ will have things never done before in a kaiju film.
“I wasn’t able to do everything with Godzilla Minus One. So, one of my own new challenges is to put images and visuals on the screen that no one has ever seen before in a kaiju film.”
