Our very own stormtrooper was having a radio interview at TBS. Danny was flying lead and I was his wingman.

After AT-ATs were outlawed, stormtroopers everywhere got their very own set of wheels. Even Darth Vader too!

But in Tokyo, the metro is the stormtrooper’s preferred mode of transportation.

We all have to get to where we need to be somehow or rather.

Always a big hit with the kids. ^^.

I sat in during the interview.

The pretty lady next to Danny is Airi Yamada – a famous announcer from TBS. She’s a familiar face on Japanese TV. I was in the same room!

There was a short break before the next segment.

Danny was made to remove his top as it was making alot of noise in the studio. It was really really quiet. I could hear my eyeballs move. ^^.

The guy in the hat is Fukuoka Toshihiro from Weekly ASCII, the number 1 weekly PC magazine in Japan.

When will that empty seat be mine? ^^.

This weekly radio show is called 週刊デジタリアン (syukan dejitarian). It’s on TBS Radio every Saturday night 2430-2500.

Being in the studio was just surreal.

How many characters do you recognize in that picture?

TBS is located at akasaka Sacas, 赤坂サカス. Would love to go back and just spend a weekend afternoon there sometime soon.

That’s a huge helipad! It is a helipad isn’t it?

Couldn’t help but admire the design of the HSBC building.

Have you ever been on a radio show? Even if it’s just dedicating a song to someone. I’ve never had that luxury… Somehow, my calls are always met with the engaged tone.
