		During the early 1960s, Eiji Tsuburaya’s son, television director Hajime Tsuburaya, thought that Miyauchi would be perfect to bring a new, contemporary sound to Tsuburaya Productions’ initial series, WOO.
		When Hajime’s father, visual effects master Eiji Tsuburaya, founded Tsuburaya Productions, Jissoji was one of the young talents who were tapped by the company.
		As I mentioned, it would have been awesome to work with Tsuburaya on this release, but unfortunately, the rights exist with Chaiyo and the two sets won't have all the cool stuff on the Japanese releases, but we will still try to create something that the fans will appreciate.
