Yutaka Ichimura, a.k.a. totorom, told me that he expects to be recalled to Japan early next year due to economic conditions, so he is understandably directing his attention to his work.
Unfortunately, concentrating on his job is causing him to suspend his contributions to G-FAN for about six months. This will likely have longer-term effects as G-FAN is a quarterly magazine.
Mr. Ichimura ably served as actor Kenji Sahara's translator and guide during last summer's G-FEST XVI.
He has contributed the best interview articles that G-FAN has seen in years and his services will be sorely missed.
Let's hope his employment situation turns out good for him and we look forward to his speedy return to G-FAN.

This is a lost indeed. Especialy since he works with Brett Homenic, I bet some will miss for the time he will be gone those nice interviews. Will this effect issue 89?
No, #89 is already out. I don't know what's already in the hopper. It remains to be seen what the effect is in issues further on.
I meant issue #90 but I bet I would have recieved the same answer anyway. Thanks Armand.
