This evening a film crew from the Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS), a Japanese TV network, came to my apartment to interview me for a “60 Minutes”-like news segment for Japanese TV. They’re doing a piece on Panasonic’s corporate name consolidation, and wanted to get my take on Japanese electronics brands, etc. I talked to the producer a bit about my electronics, what I thought of the industry, what brands I liked and disliked. They are sending me the segment once it’s completed, so I’ll be sure to post it up…
Check out this film crew in my apartment! Thanks to Elsye for taking the shot of me in front of the camera!

Pretty cool. I want to see this when you get it.
For sure!

Some where in the past couple decades the Warhol-promised 15 minutes have been deferred to the isle of Japan. And its probably for the best; seriously who wouldn’t want to utter that preeminently cool phrase “I’m famous in Japan.”?
OMG!!!!

I had a feeling when you were born that you would be famous in Japan! Congratulations!
