Thank you so much to everyone involved in this project - this is amazing to watch! It's getting very late for me, so I'll have to watch the second video tomorrow, but I just made it through the first video and I love the questions and Nakajima's responses! It's very cool to get such an in depth interview like this, so many thanks again to those who were a part of this video!

I'm working on caption files for the translation supplements. I don't know if I'll feel like actually translating the whole thing.

Chris Krueger wanted to translate it into Chinese. Let me first see how he wants it uploaded, and I'll ask Tristan.

I just finished watching the whole thing. It was a pleasure to hear Macky and Nakaji speaking . I thought some of the questions were quite interesting like Anthony's ones.

Now I've got the urge to learn some Japanese so that I can speak with other Japanese cubers with "poor" english someday

 

[DRAGON_RYU]

Well if it's in japanese it will be great to stay so.
Cause it's my native language.

What cmhardw said!

Great interview, thanks for doing (and sharing) this.

 

[iEnjoyCubing]

Awesome! Very interesting.

Thank you to everyone involved...Nakaji was such a mysterious character and it was cool to hear him speak!

And...yet another top cuber recommends that a speedsolve be kept "simple." Grrr!!!

 

[Kian]

This is truly a lot of fun. I hope we can do more of this in the future with cubers we don't often hear from. The in-depth, relaxed atmosphere is great.

Cubers that he mentioned:
Masato Onobe
Arifumi Fushimi
Daiki Matsumoto (Don't think he has a YouTube)
Kengo Kageyama

I'll post a link when it's on youku. Does that work?

 

[Andreaillest]

Thanks to everyone involved! It was very cool to see Macky interviewing Nakaji on behalf of of us who can't. I'm sure a lot of us would want to speak and interact with Nakaji ourselves, but could not because of the language barrier and Nakajima seems like a very cool person to hang around with. Hopefully, we can hear more from him in the future.
I also hope this just doesn't stop with Nakajima, but with other cubers who have that language barrier.

p.s. It seems pretty crowded in that room.

EDIT: The question on whether he prefers music on or off while cubing was not really translated, but by his mannerisms, I'm going to guess that he prefers it on. Am I right?

 

[Kirjava]

The stuff he said about Feliks was inspirational.

Thanks for doing this.

 

[Cubenovice]

Great stuff!
I love the crowded room too.

BTW I don't mean to disrespect but who agrees that the crowd (cubing T-shirts...) does a good job in reinforcing the belief that cubing is for nerds?
