An exhibition of costumes and props from the Odoru Daisousasen series is running at Ginza Mitsukoshi to mark the September 18 release of Odoru Daisousasen N.E.W. Run Through the Metropolis! Director Katsuyuki Motohiro and producer Chihiro Kameyama spoke at the press preview. Motohiro said the Wangan Police Station signboard, boxed since the 2012 film, had gone 14 years without being unpacked.
Most of what fills the Ginza Mitsukoshi display came out of storage. Motohiro said he rents a warehouse because he could not keep the series' art props and materials at home, and the Wangan Police Station signboard stayed boxed from the 2012 film until now. Kameyama said he took home the Violent Crimes Division plate, and the bomb planted at the old Wangan Police Station in the 2010 third film spent years in his office as a decorative object that lit up until its battery died. New batteries were installed for the exhibition.
