Saving the world and meeting fans within a 3 minute limit? Ultraman Ginga shows you how.
Day 1.September 10 at 11:30am, more than a hundred tokusatsu fans and family flocked down the SM Mall of Asia Cinema lobby at the Philippine premiere of Ultraman Ginga S The Movie waiting for a chance to meet the hero that everybody was expecting for, Ultraman Ginga. When the clock strikes at exactly 12pm, a squad of security guards arrived at the scene along with the SM Cinema management and in the middle of it all, a familiar red and silver suited figure arrives, it's ULTRAMAN GINGA!
After the opening ceremony, kids, along with their parents, were given a chance to have a photo together with Ultraman Ginga (and boy what an experience that was!!!). Tokusatsu fans were also present in the scene and there was this fan who brought a very personal Ultraman figure that was on an acrylic display base. Freebies were also given to the attendees, among them were Spark dolls and Ultra Eggs.
At exactly 1pm after the meet and greet event, Team JEFusion was invited for an exclusive interview with Tsuburaya's Senior Sales Executive Mr. Jun Yokoyama wherein the questions asked were:
