Interview with Suzuki-san locked in for tomorrow at 4, with great help as always from ShenmueMaster, as well as all of the other communities. Caught up and hung out with ShenmueForever, Team Yu and a few from 500k too. These trips are just sheer bliss, that's all i can describe them as. A true honour, both as a whole, but for me personally and this site.
As much as i would love to have the interview online as soon as i can, it's always best including the help of
@Switch to give it the full treatment, as translators can miss key points, as well as also misinterpret some questions/responses, so that will have to come later down the line.
However, i will be 100% dedicated to the conference itself on Saturday. Full 1080 recording, full audio recording, front row, all or nothing. As it stands, i will be sacrificing getting one of those highly sought after Shenmue t-shirts, but that's the gig. I will also miss out on the signing sessions too, due to racing it back here to the hotel to get the footage online. I will hopefully see Deep Silver tomorrow too, and get clarification on specifically what can and what cannot go online. But i suspect the conference itself will be ok, however whatever is shown during "Crazy Time" will not. I could be wrong, i will find out tomorrow. This is going on last years sequence.
Either way, we will have a full dedicated team there in the form of
@James Brown,
@Flagship and
@spud1897, covering all aspects of social media, so if you are not following our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, then you should do so right now. Go. GO!!!! We will be keeping these all updated with any photos, videos, tidbits or general posts whenever and wherever we can.

I sincerely hope you all have a blast over the coming days. Not just for me personally, but this site, this entire community and the people that all make it work together is something very special. Almost as special as the game we passionately support and represent. Yu Suzuki is here, and is ready to show off his artistic vision, of a game that not only have we waited so long for, but he has waited so long to develop. I believe we are about to see something very special. Something we may have all squabbled about in the past, but will all throw our love and support behind in unison. Take a deep breath. Here we go.
