The control room of the Government of Darkness? The Final Revelation of Mystery Frequency 109? Or just the last episode of Kamen Rider X?
Nope. Just me doing my bit as a reporter for the new TV show TokyoEye.
The program begins airing October 4th on NHK World. The first episode features Maids versus Me.
Official Hype:
AKIBA MAID FRONTLINE
The Akihabara electronic district in Tokyo has become a magnet for "otaku" lovers of comic books, animated cartoons and videogames from around the world! We introduce the latest fads, including coffee shops and beauty parlors staffed by women in suggestive lacy maid costumes. One of those maids also visits the studio!
It sounds like some crazy ESPY stuff I would make up, but the show will actually be broadcast via. orbital satellite at 4060MHz (Asia-Pacific Region), 3743.5MHz (Southwest & Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe Region), and my personal favorite 4040MHz (South & North America Region).
Adjust your Azimuth and Angle accordingly.
Damn, Patrick, I told you, you NEED some X-seijin style sunglasses. and a zip up nylon shirt. or bug their wardrobe people for that nehru jacket...that shirt is so very very '70s, my friend.
I mean, I had a shirt just like that in '71. wore it with brown cords. and keds. you can't get more geek than that!

Will this be on NHK normally?

Will this be webcast too? I don't have the dish so I can't gank this myself. Could this be the start of your new career? Ganbatte ankaaman indeed. Certain victory is yours.

I'm also curious as to whether an audio version will be carried on shortwave or webcast (I didn't see Tokyo Eye on the radio listings). Hopefully Kim Jong-Il having his blast will not disrupt the premiere.
