I’m Huge in Japan!

I’ve always wanted to say that, even if it is a bald-faced lie.

While in Tokyo I had the distinct pleasure and honour of being interviewed by Director’s Magazine. The interview, and a rather silly looking photo of me appeared in the Aug-Sep edition of the magazine. I just got a copy (bit of a delay, but hey, it came all the freaking way from Japan, man!), and while I have no idea what it says, it’s still pretty cool, so I wanted to post it for posterity.

Here’s a scan of the picture page:


Is it just me, or do I look a bit confused about what I’m doing there? I’ll put it down to jet lag.

And here’s the cover and article page:

Apparently I made the cover (thanks for pointing that out Keith).

  1. That’s cool! They showed me that one when I was there..they where pretty stoked to have you in there, really…so maybe you’re bigger then you think…

  2. At least you know how to write your name in katakana now. guranto sukinaa

  3. “…while I have no idea what it says….”

    You’ve got your name though, right? It’s the leftmost column of the three smaller columns of type, gu-ra-ne-to-su-ki-na-a.

    Real cool that you’ve got that international presence, why that’s how Sean Connery started out…. 😉

  8. I had once a Japanese substitute teacher. Apparently, they ain’t a good Japanese name for my name (only use my first name for communication). I still think I need to change my last name to it’s on par with my first names 🙂

  9. Congratulations ! It’s a funny title for this post though, it reminds of a catchy tune…Big in Japan. :P.
