Hey, where's that big green guy?

Thanks to the Internet, we watched some JAPANESE TELEVISION coverage of the latest EARTHQUAKE to strike the country -- today in Japan and last night here.
The magnitude-6.5 earthquake struck near the coast of Japan southwest of Tokyo, injuring 110 people, damaging buildings and a four-lane expressway and triggering automatic shutdowns of nuclear reactors.
The anchors on All-Nippon News Network -- we watched on TV ASAHI -- seemed to take the quake in stride.
Why wouldn't they? Japan was still cleaning up from a typhoon that killed 14 people in the past 48 hours.
I have to admit: As we watched the coverage of the quake, I kept expecting to see a TOWERING GREEN BEAST emerge from stage right.
"Go-Go Godzilla!"
