\nWhen I arrived at Annosato Park in Chikuzen, the straw had been pulled off the huge Yamato<\/em> and they were
\nworking on lifting the bridge off with a crane. It was very delicate work because the length of rope put it off-balance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\nRain began to fall shortly before I arrived, and the work of removing the bridge from the huge
\nYamato<\/em> was underway while the rain fell. Like the staff, I watched it wet without an umbrella.<\/p>\n

\nAfter taking off the bridge, the staff waited in a tent due to the rain that continued
\nto fall as the bridge was set down. I photographed the abandoned bridge here.<\/p>\n

\nThe bridge was broken and trashed, but as a Yamato<\/em> fan, I didn’t feel like
\nphotographing the destroyed figure of my beloved ship, so I just watched.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\nI just wanted to preserve proof that the great warrior Space Battleship Yamato 2202<\/em> survived in the Reiwa era, and I was given permission to take a pulse laser cannon from the dismantled bridge. I carried it to my car, but it was unexpectedly heavy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\nBy the way, it’s been forty years since the release of Be Forever Yamato<\/em>, but I like Sasha (Mio Sanada),
\nso my car is light blue. I look forward to seeing her again in the Reiwa era [in Yamato 2205<\/em>].<\/p>\n
