Here's an incredible message that Australian Monkey fan Darren Hassan posted to The Unofficial Masaaki Sakai Web Site http://www.masaaki-sakai.co.uk/ It brings back memories of when Nikki Brown and I met him back in 1998 (see our story here: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/daymetmonkey.html) - -- I am writing this from Tokyo after an amazing day!! Today, I met none other than the Great Sage himself, Mr Masaaki Sakai!! I took a tour of NHK and was aware that eh would be doing a talk show there. I was polite but persistent with the NHK staff, who were amazed that I had come from Australia to see him.Anyway, I had to draw a number to be included in the studio audience of 30..I drew #13..who said it was unlucky! I sat right at the front and before the show began the other presenters chatted to me as I was the only westerner there. They said they will introduce me to him!! The show was live to air all throughout Japan, and I was about to meet the man himself. He came out and shook hands with some other people then looked at me sitting there in front. The other presenters told him that I was a huge fan of `Monkey` and he looked at me,his eyes widened and he said `Do you know me?` in a surprised tone. I said I was a long time fan of his and he said ` Oh, Monkey Magic?`We shook hands and as I stood to bow to him, he and the others giggled because of the height difference. I am 180 cms, he is around 150 - 160. He was very pleasant and thanked me for coming. I watched amazed at this guy I had admired from halfway across the world over 25 yrs ago. He has aged of course. His hair is greying, but he doesnt seem to have many wrinkles. His face still has that familiar cheekiness, and has all the energy that you would expect. During the show (in Japanese) he made constant funny gestures and joked. Although I didnt understand, he was still funny. Incidentally, this guy is still a star in Japan. He hosts a show called `Wheres the kitchen` and is in a sitcom among many other engagements. I had travelled far to see my boyhood hero, and I was not disappointed?After the show we were ushered out but I managed another wave through the glass window that now divided us. I caught his eye and gave him a peace sign and mouthed `Thank you, thank you`. He smiled did the same in return! He was whisked out the star entrance and that was my day with Massaki Sakai!Long live the Great Sage. - -- Howell - -------------------------------------------------------------------- + List guidelines: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/guidelines.html + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?

Japan Auctions I just received this message from a Japanese Monkey fan - with respect to the unofficial Japanese Monkey book that you can see on this page on my web site: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/books_jmonkeybook.html - -- Hi! I am a Japanese man and have got the book! The Japanese Monkey Book; Saiyuuki sanzushinkyou tenno maki, is often found in Yahoo Japan auction.

You may wait for a few days to find the lower price one. The book is a doujin-shi; a book printed by a person not a publisher, so it hasn't got ISBN. - -- Howell - -------------------------------------------------------------------- + List guidelines: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/guidelines.html + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?

The next unseen episode will be shown on Tuesday 14th September 2004 night, after midnight (so strictly speaking the early hours of Wednesday 8th September 2004), at 01:15 - 02:05: Better The Demon You Know After wandering through endless wilderness, Tripitaka and his starving disciples find themselves in a small town in the middle of nowhere. For two years, ever since her son and his human bride abandoned her, the bloodthirsty demon Kari-Temo Hanja has been appearing at weddings in the town and kidnapping the brides. Monkey goes to seek help from Senju Kannon Bosatsu, the Bodhisattva of endless fulfilment, who was once the demon's master. Meanwhile, Tripitaka decides to pay the demon a visit...

Will have to catch them on the DVD boxsets ;) You missed a treat! Especially as it's the episode that you appear in, as one of the four "prisoners" in the opening scene. > I am very pleased to be in the credits of an episode - if anyone had > told me this was going to happen when I first watched Monkey in the late > 70s, I would never have believed them. It's a good claim to fame to have ;) Your name actually appears TWICE in the closing credits. Once as part of the English dubbing cast, and then again as "translation proofreading by". Good claim to fame indeed! Overall, I was impressed with the new dubbed version; the new adaptation stands up very well when compared with the original episodes. - -- - -( Henry Burrows )- + -( henry@foiled.co.uk )- - -( "Foiled Productions" - http://www.foiled.co.uk )- - -------------------------------------------------------------------- + List guidelines: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/guidelines.html + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?

Japan Auctions Some feedback about this book from my Japanese friend Go: - -- I think it is too much high as a Doujin-shi. At least I found the same book at 2000yen. http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f27278354 Doujin-shi is a book which is written by non professional writer, you know. Even I used to write such book with my friend in my childhood. DOUJIN means those who like it. SHI means a magazine. Doujin-shi market grew bigger in these 20years. So some people succedes as semi professional writer. In case of this book, it was written by a circle "Fo - da mu G" o30th Dec ,2000. The editor , Tatsuhito Saotome , say ,"This is my first book, Saiyuuki Sanzou Shinkyo Ten no maki. I was asked to make such a book by my friend for 5 years . I tred it before someone would make it, because CS broadcasting and local one send it again. " at p66. And He says also "I am a beginner." Then I think it costed within one thousand yen originally. So, if you want it so much , it might be acceptable price at 2000 yen, but 3500 yen. ps There is a possibility that you can find it such a Doujinshi shop Ref.) Mandarake, one of the biggest doujinshi shop in Japan. http://www.mandarake.co.jp/ - -- Howell - -------------------------------------------------------------------- + List guidelines: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/guidelines.html + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?
