TAKE YOUR VITAMINS - Highlights from our launch interviews
On September 18, 2007 in Interview Highlights, Interviews
Have you had your daily dose of vitamin J?
It has only been ten days into the launch of this blog and already we have built some great relationships through it. Hopefully those relationships will eventually translate into a better web for Japan-enthusiasts.
Now for those highlights -
#1 Launch! Slash! Burn! (click me)
To start it all off we interviewed writer and Japanese film connoisseur Adam Douglas of SlashandBurn.
Highlight
Daily J: If you had to pick, what would you say is your favourite Japanese film?
Adam: The Seven Samurai, but everyone says that. Eli Eli Lema Sabachthani? is up there, as is Ozus Late Spring.
(Adam has a thing for Setsuko Hara 
)
#2 Gaijin Tonic - A drunken, I mean, exclusive interview 
(click here @ own risk)
Highlight
Daily J: In short, what is the vital mission of Gaijin Tonic?
Merely to provide a glimpse of the drinking/social culture in Japan, with a focus on the fun and quirky side of things. And this, of course, conveniently justifies my own drinking and socializing- I can put it down to research for my site!
Daily J: 
You crack me up! Research, right. 
Yeah, Ive already dedicated a lot of time and energy into that research so i wont be running out of material anytime soon.
Daily J: So if you had to pick, what is your favourite place to conduct, er, research and why?
Well there are too many cool bars in Japan to count. My favourite is probably Kagaya in Shinjuku, simply because the man who runs it is such a lunatic, always putting on surreal costumes and bringing out crazy games for the customers to play.
#3 Jamaipanese - Interview with an “otaku” (click here, geeky)
Highlight
Daily J: What is the mission of Jamaipanese?
Kirk: My sites mission is to share my interests with the world so that I can meet people with similar interestsand then together we can plot our conquest of the world, with Tokyo as the capital ^_^
Make sure to read the second half of the interview to find out why Kirk will be joining us.
#4 RisingSunofNihon.com - Why Bill Belew is my hero (click me, I’m a prince)
Highlights
The best part was when Bill promised to dance for us
Daily J: Where do you see RSON in the future?
I want people to thinkI wonder what/if RSON has anything to say about this topic.
Make sure to check out those posts in full (some funny stuff!) and give our interviewees a big hello on their blogs!
It has been great talking to all of these bloggers and we want to thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their interviews and helping us with the launch of this blog. Thanks guys!
Our next blogger is KeepingPaceinJapan.com, so be here for that tomorrow.

[…] last highlights post covered Daily J’s first four “launch” interviews, so this post will start with […]
I think you should interview that guy at Chris`s English Conversation School in Yanai.
**Cough**
hehehe. A little shameless self promotion. I like it!
Sure!
Looks like a neat school. Let’s do it
Cool!
just let me know how we go about this?
Lets consider the interview step #1 to taking over the internet.
Step #2 will be splitting it down the middle.
I call the porn half!!
Sorry bro.
I called it first.
You can have the witty intellectual half.
HAHAHAHAHA!
No fair! Porn is probably more like 75% at least…
Well, I can tell this is going to be an interesting interview. (Hopefully not TOO interesting…
) I will email you some starter questions and we can take it from there.
