A somewhat nondescript vending machine that I spotted on a shopping lane in Shin-Koenji.

Now is it a vending machine for…

1) Nicotine Gum
2) Condoms
3) High Grade Cigarettes
4) Candy

( For those who don’t recognize Japanese characters, the answer may not be immediately apparent. )

I will be heading to the airport soon to catch my plane back to Tokyo, and with a mountain of work waiting for me back in the studio I doubt I will be able to write anything for a while, so I figured I said my thanks first.

A very big thanks to the dedicated folks from the Singapore Film Society who organized AN 2007, Dave, Vijay, Shirley, Gavin, and Nas ( screening room, I hope I got your name correct ) and everyone who turned up today to watch Freedom. I apologize profusely for the badly answered questions, and if I was unattentive to anyone. I really wished I had more time to chat with the people who came up to talk to me after the screening. I’m glad you guys enjoyed watching Freedom.

Animation Nation 2007 has only just started, you guys are in for many a great treat I am sure.

ps The release of the said final episode of Freedom is not official yet, so I very politely ask that the friends who now know the news keep it to yourselves. Yoroshiku Tanomu. :]

See you guys back in Tokyo very soon, with more news on Freedom.
