uniquec: Let's start this then.
Reikai: Ok.
uniquec: So what do you do fansubbing wise?
Reikai: I used to TLC and TL...
b>Reikai: Now I don't do anything. For now anyway, maybe when summer vacation rolls around I'll try again =/.
uniquec: Who did you TLC and TL for?
Reikai: gg (they fired me =[) and Sudo (I kinda dropped out =/...) (Bad record =p)
uniquec: Ok...why did you get into fansubbing?
Reikai: I coudn't stand semi-stupid mistakes <___<...
Reikai: But I guess I eventually started making them as well =[.
uniquec: Well no one is perfect all the time.
uniquec: Who in the fansubbing community would you want to be stranded on a desert island with?
Reikai: Eh... probably just myself =/...
Reikai: I work best alone I think.
Reikai: it's the most efficient anyway.
uniquec: And they are crazy . :)
Reikai: They?
uniquec: Well "they" as in most fansubbers. :)
uniquec: How about anyone else other then fansubbers?
Reikai: Sheryl Nome >___>?
uniquec: Why?
Reikai: I've not got anyone too special in my life right now.
Reikai: why Sheryl Nome?
Reikai: Well, "she" sings well... and I think music is quite important... at least for me.
uniquec: Heh, she'll keep you entertained with her singing.
Reikai: Perhaps.
uniquec: So what is your favourite anime?
Reikai: Favorite anime...
Reikai: I don't really have a outstanding favorite.
uniquec: Least favourite then?
Reikai: Again... I don't have a least fav =___= I have a "favorite right now" and "least favorite right now" but... yeah =/.
Reikai: Not really an "of all time" kind of thing.
uniquec: Ok right now at this present time?
Reikai: For favorite anime right now... probably Basquash, or Hatsukoi Limited (Yamamoto Misaki <3)
Reikai: Same deal with books...or movies...or anything really.
uniquec: So what are your hobbies outside anime?
Reikai: Hobbies outside of anime...
Reikai: Standard geek/nerd stuff... gaming...
uniquec: Like anime isn't geeky :p
Reikai: Although I care alot about style/fashion. Also, music is quite important to me. I play guitar, and the flute...
Reikai: I also like dancing <___<>
uniquec: What type of dancing?:)
Reikai: Music wise...
uniquec: Yeah...
Reikai: I personally prefer to freestyle to trance/electro-house, but I can ballroom, pop, animate, and breakdance. (For those that know... this is all around the spectrum and a bit weird I know =P)
uniquec: A man of many dancing styles. How do you see yourself 10 years from now?
Reikai: Where do I see myself 10 years from now.
Reikai: Well I'm 19 at the moment...so 29...
Reikai: Assuming the current economic situation improves...
uniquec: Career wise perhaps?
Reikai: I see myself as a leader of a rather large corporation.
Reikai:> Perhaps even one of my own making.
uniquec: What type of corporation?
Reikai:Well, I'm rather interested in finance. While it IS the whole culprit of the current situation, I don't believe it will be going away any time soon... Mostly because everyone needs money and not everyone has enough money.
uniquec: The world is in a financial mess right now, do you think it will get better soon? How would you fix it?
Reikai: What is "soon"?
uniquec: Soon as in a few years perhaps?
Reikai: (Assuming "soon" is within a year...) perhaps. I would probably give it two though. Reikai: How would I fix it?
uniquec: If you could...
Reikai: Well, the current situation can viewed as the "second great depression" and... although the economy is slowing down on a global scale... we do have the great depression to look at to see what NOT to do. Mostly that includes increasing trade/stimulating consumers/etc...
Reikai: But one thing that "stops" all of this is fear...
uniquec: Is?
Reikai: If it were up to me, I attempt to control the media and manipulate it to "show optimism" such that will start to spend instead of worrying about "zomg credit crunch saev moneh".
uniquec: People these days are afraid to spend.
Reikai: Exactly. So instead of broadcasting gloom and doom the government/s should have hidden all the bad signs and showed good news...
Reikai: So people wouldn't be afraid in the first place =p.
Reikai: It's a dictatorial point of view... but, I think it would work...
uniquec: Now people are afraid that they wont have a job and not be able to pay their mortgages.
Reikai: At least the concept of media manipulation anyway.
Reikai: Yes...and this causes people to try to save money further worsening the situation.
uniquec: You believe that manipulate the media would actually have helped the economy with all the big corporations needing bailouts?
Reikai: Oh yeah. Either that or start World War III.
Reikai: If one could keep the news from spreading, no one would know what happened right?
uniquec: Yeah wars tend to help the economy. Gives people jobs.
Reikai: If no one knows anything, what's there to fear?
Reikai: <- Big brother in the making >=3
uniquec: Fear of the unknown but are we still that gullible to be ruled by not what we know?
Reikai: Fear of the "unknown".
uniquec: I'm such a pessimist. ^^
Reikai: Well, there are many conspiracy theories around...but do (most) of the general population believe in such conspiracy theories, and fear them?
Reikai: I would like to believe no. So...
uniquec: There will always be some of them around. So on a happier thought...where would you like to travel that you never been and why?
Reikai: I would like to travel to hmm. The moon, Mars. Perhaps even farther.
Reikai: Oh, and Brazil.
uniquec: Why Mars?
Reikai: Why Mars...well, I've always been interested in space or flying in general.
uniquec: Think Brazil is a bit easier to get to. What about Brazil that attracts you?
Reikai: I wanted to be a fighter-jet pilot when I was a tiny kid. I still think airplanes are the coolest of all forms of transport.
Reikai: I've heard the samba carnivals in Brazil are amazing =p.
Reikai: Music... dancing~
uniquec: Carnival.
uniquec: Guess you dont have a fear of travelling. Do you have a country that you would recomend visiting?
Reikai:> No, I don't have a fear of traveling.
Reikai: For a 19 year old, I have been quite privileged and can have traveled to alot of places ^^.
Reikai: Umm, for visiting only...I would have to say China.
uniquec: Any specific part of China?
Reikai:> Shanghai, Beijing...I'm a city person. Also especially if you've not been there within the last say...7 years.
uniquec: You like the action and nightlife of the city.
Reikai: 7 years ago Shanghai was completely different than it is now. I like the hustle and bustle.
uniquec: Modernization.
Reikai: Then again, I grew up in Tokyo... So...
uniquec: Innie or outie belly button?
Reikai:> Lets see...in.
uniquec: Boxers or briefs?
Reikai: Depends.
uniquec: On the situation or what's clean?
Reikai: Boxers if it's just home wear... (more comfy) and boxer-briefs if I'm going out...
Reikai: Situation. I'm a clean person...
uniquec: Neat freak?
Reikai: Neat freak... not exactly a freak, but I keep my things in order.
Reikai: I may leave stuff messy for a bit, but I'll always clean them up...
uniquec: Is there any food that you must have?
Reikai: Must have? As in...? I crave it?
uniquec: Yeah since you have no favourites.
Reikai: Yeah... no favorites... same deal for food =___=.
Reikai: People say I'm indecisive... I can eat literally anything...
uniquec: No cravings for odd foods?
Reikai: Grasshoppers... bears claw... rabbits...
Reikai: Cockroaches... I've eaten them all.
Reikai: Nah no real cravings... but I do have a sweet tooth.
uniquec: You like desserts then.
Reikai: And I can just snack on chocolates forever...(bad for skin > <)
Reikai: So... I try to avoid them.
uniquec: What was the most difficult to digest?
Reikai: Difficult to digest... Well...in general I don't like raw tomatoes, although I can eat them...
uniquec: well too much of anything is bad for you :)
Reikai: Oh yeah,also Chinese (bitter) herbal medicine is quite horrid...
uniquec: Lol.
Reikai: Bittergourd, don't really like that either. (Although I'll eat it.)
uniquec: It is really bitter.
uniquec: How do you like to eat eggs?
Reikai: Raw.
uniquec: Plain?
Reikai: Sometimes...
uniquec: Nothing added?
Reikai: Just crack it into a bowl and drink it...maybe add soysauce if you want.
Reikai: Usually no.
uniquec: Sounds so tasty....not!
Reikai: Depends what I'm eating it with though.
Reikai: It's just breakfast =/... and it goes down quick anyway so...
uniquec: Lol, but that's your preference for breakfast.
Reikai: My preference is nothing...usually don't eat it =/ But if I do that's what's usually on the menu.
uniquec: Heh guess I wont let you make me breakfast then :)
Reikai: Unless of course they prefer that as well.
uniquec: Heh.
Reikai: I'm quite proud of the fact that I can cook well.
uniquec: What would you like to be remember after you death for?
Reikai: What would I like to be remembered for after death.
Reikai: I am honestly not sure. Good husband, loving father yeah..
. uniquec: The usually stuff ...kids so you will live on.
Reikai: Also, money... lots of money... so my kids can live on without having too much trouble.
uniquec: Are you optimist or pessimist?
Reikai: Optimist or pessimist. I'd have to say optimist.
uniquec: What is you are most proud that you make?
Reikai: I can cook quite a bit..
Reikai: But hmm, most proud of that I make...as in..? The most complicated dish I can make?
uniquec: Either.
uniquec: The one you get rave reviews over.
Reikai: Hmm, I guess it's not really "complicated," but I can fry a nice rare steak =]. (I like the blood =p)
uniquec: Heh nothing like a proper rare steak.
Reikai: oh.
uniquec: Introvert or extrovert?
Reikai: Yeah. Something simple =]
Reikai: Probably introvert...
uniquec: How so?
Reikai: Although it completely depends on situation =/. For example, I'll talk alot amongst my closest friends.
uniquec: But you've known them for awhile so you feel comfortable with them. So what you consider your best trait?
Reikai: But I usually don't go up and talk to others.
Reikai: Same thing with girls! I much prefer her to take the lead =p
uniquec: Shy.
Reikai: Best trait.
Reikai: Probably confidence.
Reikai: Self confidence anyway.
Reikai: I don't mind appearing in public, giving public speeches, performing in public etc...
uniquec: So this is the final question. that I ask everyone... parting words of wisdom.
Reikai: Not really =/
Reikai: Just gee gee gee gee gee.
uniquec: Heh and on tha note thanks for doing the interview dear.
Reikai: No problem~
uniquec: We appreciate Reikai postponing his studies in the early hours to do this interview. He could not say no to a lady and I was pushy enough in asking. As you notice the Goddess does not always have straight forward interviews and you never know what to expect.
