You guys, I flew all the way to Japan just so I could catch this airing. I wanted to make sure I saw the first airing EVER, and it was SO. GOOD.

That's.... odd.

What, that I flew to Japan?

I mean, I love Raúl so much that it was just OBVIOUSLY the only thing to do. It's not odd. It's totally logical and perfectly normal.

Yeah, it aired there a while ago. My cute Japanese friend told me that it aired twice, once on satellite tv and another time on a local channel. She tried to dvr it but it didn't work because it had blockers on, so then she just vhs-ed it when it aired locally.

Random, isn't it?

...now the people from NHK who were sitting in the production van during the tapings make SO much more sense. I can't believe I didn't make that connection earlier.

OMG, I'm SO mad because I HAVE to be the FIRST to see everything, so I can be BETTER than everyone else.

I'M SO moving to Japan.

Well, I beat you.

So there.

It was totally worth it, you guys. Even though planes make me nervous, I'm so glad I flew all the way across the world to see this.

You mean I'm NOT the first person to move to Japan?

Damn.

Okay, then... I can be the first person to say that I don't give a flying f*ck who the first person to see anything is.

There. I'm the FIRST.

I'm better than all of you! See? I AM!

I see how it is, kick me where it hurts.

PS, I didn't MOVE to Japan. I'm back now. No reason to stay there. You lose.

Holy, you came to Japan just to see Company? Did you see it on HD or on a local channel? I didn't come to see Company but I was happened to be in Japan when it aired. I got the DVDs of the both programs but I still cannot see HD version as you have to have a special application to see the DVD that was recorded for a HD show.

Darn, I was about to give you a fan of the year award ;p

Too bad you'd miss the interview clip for Doyle and Raul, emcee. I think that was the special version for the Japanese program.
