At Kyoto Train station:




At a Tezuka exhibit:




On a bus, ad for the movie

I really like the Kyoto Train Station one.

Neat! I like seeing obscure AB photos like these. The exhibit and Kyoto train station statues look good, but the bus photo looks a little weird, because it looks like Atom doesn't have any eyes!

Regardless, thanks for sharing!

It's because of the angle of the photo. Anyways, I'm not sure I've seen that particular render of movie Atom before... I wonder where one might find it. (I collect images of Astro related to the movie, so...) I wonder where this bus was that the movie didn't release until November; I'm pretty sure that around here, it was advertised as a late October release... on the twenty-something; it's been so long, I can't really remember exactly when. I didn't see it in theaters, noways, but I remember some of the ads for it.

The fact that the date is written in day-month order, plus it being a double decker bus makes me wonder if that photo was taken in the UK (are London buses still red?).

Oh, I hadn't noticed that it was a double-decker! But then, I don't spend a lot of time staring at buses, anymore. As for if they're still red, I have no idea. I've never been. It could be red under whatever all they put on it to make it look like this, though; some kind of cover(s)...

I've never been in London either, but every photo I've ever seen of the city had the buses painted red. Some had open tops, but I guess those were tour buses, it rains too much there for an open top bus to be practical.
