Got some new PM product on the Japan-only tip...

The September issue of STUDIO VOICE is a super-sized special with a cover feature on former YMO and Happy End musician Haruomi Hosono. There's a long interview with Hosono himself, along with testimonials from the likes of Maki Nomiya (P5) and Tadanori Yokoo and a look at his production and soundtrack work which extends into anime like Night on the Galactic Railroad and EX MACHINA. Also included: a conversation between Toei sexploitation king Norifumi Suzuki and Machine Girl helmer Noboru Iguchi...and last but not least, my monthly Paranoid States of America column!

Also, I never be writing fo no Kinema Junpo publications before, but I finally slipped through the cracks to contribute to their Yoshiaki Kawajiri Madhouse Plus 02 book (01 was about Satoshi Kon). My chapter is on the popularity of the Ninja Scroll writer/director in the USA and how he all blew our minds with that shit back in the day. Tomo Machiyama translated while Gilles Poitras and Daryl Surat were interviewed for this piece which I guess I'm sorta proud of!
