Metropolis Magazine

As Japan Today said a day or so ago, I heard from Metropolis magazine about running an article based on Japan Today's interview on The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan.

Early this morning, I received an email from the editor of Metropolis, which reads in part:

Dear Armand,

Greetings. I'm the editor of Metropolis magazine here in Tokyo. In case you're not familiar with us, Metropolis is a weekly entertainment/lifestyle magazine for English-speaking foreigners -- kind of like a Time Out guide. We have a circulation of 30,000, which makes us Japan's most widely read print
publication in English.

I was hoping that you could answer a few new questions by email. The reason is, the focus of Japan Today and Metropolis are a bit different, as is the format of our Q&A articles.

Fortunately, I am familiar with Metropolis magazine, I have a couple of issues of the magazine from previous trips to Japan.

The questions were a bit different from the Japan Today questions, but I was still able to get them immediately answered and sent off before I headed for work this morning. They were fun to do.
