    omg...Hideaki Kondoh was there? Darn...I missed the chance to meet him >_<

    It really sux that I had already taken too much time off and couldn't go...would have been really nice to meet him.

    Crash, do you speak Japanese? How did you communicate with them? Or did you communicate via tricks/combos? tongue.gif

    I would have liked to have been able to comunicate with them via tricks/combos tongue.gif but my level sucks compared to theirs so that wouldn't have been possible lol. They were all kind enough to try and speak engish with me which was really cool of them. I was speaking with hideaki for quiet a while both at the tournament and at the restaurant afterwards and his engish was pretty good.

    To be honest i really hope there is another one because the japanese are unbelivably friendly i would really love to go back there if i had another chance.

    It's funny how all of them put the peace sign up. Is it because of spinning and then finishing with a peace sign o is it the asian stereotype lawl.

    Anyways looked fun I've always wanted to visit Japan. RYO looks like my cuz just a bit nerdier no offense.

    Thank's for posting the video. It looked like a fantastic time, I would love so much to have gone to that and to have seen so many spinners together at once. Too bad stuff like that doesn't happen in the US =/.

    Thanks again.
