Sounds pretty weak to me. How does releasing a CD via part of a huge multi-national corporation do anything to help grow underdeveloped and/or unrecognized international music? Last time I checked Sony Japan is still, umm, Sony. Can you transcribe the interview or parts of it? > He is also embarking on some mega-"future" > tour all over Japan. I'm curious as to how many Japanese artists he will be featuring on this tour. I also may have reason to be in Japan next year (for what I suspect is the same reason he is there for - money), anyone have more details? - George
