Post So I have pretty much no reason to collect pillows CDs now.
Nor do I have any incentive to get them to sign anything anymore.


A big shout out here to my man Kenji Ueda, who helped me out big time by signing this and completing the set.

By the way, is there any way I can shoot out an email to reach Sawao or Manabe, because they would be pretty happy to hear what I accomplished with this thing after I had the three remaining pillows sign it! Sawao was really glad I brought it. [b]EDIT: I figured it out, email sent. Hopefully they get my picture.[/b]

Where did you get Kenji's signature?

This won't work unless you speak fluent Japanese (which I do), but I contacted his office and I actually spoke directly to the man himself. I then arranged to have it signed, and I just got it back in the mail today.

That is pretty awesome. I never really got all excited about signatures from bands/celebrities etc. but that's damn cool. I think if there was one album i'd want to have a signed copy of, it'd be that one. Though poor Jun wouldn't get to sign it. :lol:

Wow, that's surreal, good for you! But what the hell is Kenji doing for a living now, you said you contacted his office? And what was his reaction when you told him you had the CD and it was signed by the rest of the members?

Well,

I don't really know how he's making much of a living, he does session work and is a solo artist. His "office" is an apartment in an apartment complex in Shibuya (which I won't disclose the location of for obvious reasons.)

Anyhow, he thanked me for being a fan of him and the pillows, and he said that even though he left the pillows 17 years ago, they are still his favorite band and he goes to their lives occasionally.
When I showed him a picture of the CD and it had only 3/4 of the signatures on it, he said, send it to my office and I promise I will return it to you.

Wow, I can't believe you got in contact with Ueda.
That was really cool of him to do that for you.
Do you live in Japan?

No, I don't live in Japan, but I enclosed an international money order for the amount it would cost him to return it. He didn't have a problem with sending it overseas. He had his secretary go to the post office anyway. According to the package, her name is Naomi Kobayashi, and she signed as Kenji Ueda's assistant.

Don't say that until I'm done with my walkin' on the spiral translation!

I hope to be finished with the actual translation by the weekend, and the actual subtitle file sometime net week.

Keep an eye on the thread guys!
