1212 Happy Birthday WORLDSPIRIT baby!

Exactly 1 year ago today, 12/12/2003, Worldspirit was performed infront of a live audience in San Francisco/Oakland.

So, on this day, it is even more special, as here, in Tokyo, it is the official release weekend of the Japanese version of the WORLDSPIRIT DVD. On friday we had a big opening party (photos to be posted soon), and tonight, on the 1 year anniversary, WORLDSPIRIT was screened at a cool movie theater called "Uplink Factory" in Shibuya. After the screening, we had a "talk show", with an interview of me, and Shinya Takaoka, the "AURA" artist who's video feedback show appears in the WORLDSPIRIT project.

We showed photos, behind the scenes shots, and I must say, speaking 100% in japanese was tough, but extremely rewarding. My Japanese has certainly improved so much in the last 3 years... and especially lately, since talking about deeper things pertaining to Worldspirit.

Both events were extremely successful, - and am again (as always) blown away by the enthusiasm and response of the Japanese audience. I am relieved that all the work put into the Japanese translations and subtitles in the DVD has been received and understood very well with the audiences here.

Don't forget to check out the newly posted online video clip of WORLDSPIRIT (Progress of the Soul)
