The "record" for the program is done in cardboard and is a promotion for the soundtrack by the band Cosmic Mind.
The interior photos and graphics recall artwork from the late 1960's. There is a wonderful drawing of Guilala revealing his internal organs and their process!

The movie by Shochiku Company the same Producers of the 1967 movie was written and directed by Minoru Kawaski. He is an independent director with a definite taste for comedy. Without giving out too much of the movie story, we can say that it brings a new twist to the Daikaiju Genre.
