Hi everyone,
FINALLY! Hehe… Our Shimatani Hitomi interview is up! 20-pages, PDF format! Enjoy everyone!
Special thank you for everyone who submitted their questions. This was the most so far and we could only choose several for the fan Q&A portion but we have many more interviews planned and I hope you continue to submit your questions for other future artists/bands.
Thanks again!!!

I am trying to open the 20 page .pdf interview of Shimatani Hitomi advertised on this site. It doesn’t seem to work at all, what version of adobe acrobat is this interview in?

Hi Terry, a few people said they had the same problem but they downloaded the new version of Reader and it worked for them afterwards:

KNDY,
Thanks for the tip, downloaded latest version and it worked like a champ. Interview was well done - wish I had known earlier of opportunity as a fan to submit a question, but glad to see the results anyway. Was the interview conducted in Japanese and, or English?
Cheers,
Terry

Hi Terry,
The interview was a joint collaboration between myself and our J!-ENT Japan head Hiroshi Tagawa. It was done in English first but it was a major challenge because the questions from fans from different countries threw off our Japanese staff, so there was a loss of communication somewhere in the middle and the Japan staff found it challenging for the English to Japanese translation and then back to Japanese to English translation. But all in all, it worked out.

KNDY,
Thank you for your response to my question. I can visualize the “lingusitic gymnastics’ challenge you went through! Please don’t hesitate to contact me should you ever need additional questions for another interview with Ms. Shimatani. Or for interviews with some other Japanese artists for that matter, though I will spare you any listing of my favorites. Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Terry
