Just caught Shigesato Itoi on NHK World TV! Wow!

This was a nice surprise. It didn't have anything to to with video games or the MOTHER series though. I didn't catch the whole show either. It was called "Today's Close up" or something like that and he seemed to be talking about the the general issue of wellbeing and happiness of Japanese people after the disaster that happened in March.

It was nice and positive and it had a general uplifting and hopeful tone about it. It was like something that would appear on Irish TV about coping with recession.

Now, a fan of him and the games he was involved in already knows his job is as a copywriter (or even a journalist you could say) and he's famous for that too. So we know he could very well appear on TV talking about issues like this. I wonder if he appears regularly? Might be interesting to check out.

Another thing about NHK World TV I've noticed is that they very rarely talk about video games. In fact the only time I've seen them talk about games was when they were reporting on the Playstation Network being hacked.
