Also, I've seen/ heard him interviewed in English before. It was a bit stilted, but I'm sure you can manage a natter.

To be honest, I don't want to pester him with annoying geeky questions because it looks like it's going to be just the 3 of us, and both of them are long term friends, so I imagine they'll have a lot to tell each other. I'll pm you my address.

See. Him. Live.

That's all

Also, best of luck Porky. I'm not passing any questions for him, just slap some sense into him recording new Ground Zero stuff.

Tonight!

The whole night, predictably, was very enjoyable. Hanging out with such friendly, warm and talented people was extremely humbling. We ended up eating the tastiest sushi my friend prepared for the occasion inside the venue itself. The staff joined us and fun was had by all. There wasn't much of a conversation about music going on because both Otomo and Sachiko like their food, so that was the main topic all night. Sachiko especially has to be the most contagiously enthusiastic person making music I have ever met. I chatted to Otomo a bit towards the end of the night about gear and electronic devices, but the real scoop was finding out that childhood manga cartoon favourite Lady Oscar has been turned into a musical and the harsh copyright war over Candy Candy, another childhood favourite. Glice, I never got your cd, did you send me one?

No, I didn't, I've had problems. Laziness problems. Boo to me. Glad you had a good time though.
