"The Faceless Star" (顔の映らない主役,   Kao no Utsuranai Shuyaku) is the first Godzilla BOSS commercial, directed by Nobuaki Hongo with special effects by Toshio Miike.

Transcript

“

Godzilla: King of the Monsters Release Commemoration

Godzilla was born in 1954. The man in the Godzilla bodysuit had to fight on many levels.

Haruo Nakajima, "The Faceless Star."

Fighting, against weight of 100 kg (220 lb).
Fighting, against heat of over 60°C (140°F).
Fighting, against the conflict that his face wouldn't be shown.
Fighting, against imagination to play a monster he'd never seen.
Fighting, against himself.

Effort isn't always rewarded. However, praise is earned only by those who keep it up.

Keep Fighting

— Commercial slogan

"The Impact of a Blue Day" (青き日の衝撃,   Aoki Hi no Shōgeki) is the second Godzilla BOSS ad, directed by Nobuaki Hongo and released in 2021. A tie-in for BOSS Blue Impact, it gives a brief overview of the history of Japanese filmmaking, culminating with the invention of tokusatsu.

Transcript

“

In the 1930s,
The visual revolution of foreign films captivated the hearts of young people in Japan. The chain of passion begins there.

The Impact of a Blue Day

"Blue background synthesis," "projection," and "stop motion."
One after another, never-before-seen techniques inspired the young filmmakers of Japan.

Twenty years later.
Overcoming tough times, they invented Japan's unique "Tokusatsu" technology.
The heat of passionate work will be passed on to the next generation.

Burn your passion into your work.
