The Subject: Daiki Chiba, radio commentator for Tokyo's J-Wave
Where: Festival Headquarters, after Daiki interviewed me. Tres new media!

Why are you here?
I'm here from Japan for my radio show to explain what the festival is and to interview publicists and distributors. We are really about describing the business side. I'm here to meet the people, not see the movies so much.

Who paid for you to come here?
My producer paid for me to come here, my company. I came here three days ago and am suffering because it is so cold. All I have is this blazer. So I've seen only a few films because it is so hard for me to get in, even with my pass, and I keep having to wait in the cold in the lines.

What film are you most excited about?
Lucky Number Slevin, which is kind of like a Reservoir Dogs thing. I saw it last night and, oh, it was pretty amazing. Josh Hartnett and Lucy Liu were there, very nice and cool, very kind. Not stereotypical stars at all.

Where'd you get your boots?
In LA, like eight years ago. Combat boots. I really like them.

What's the last song you played on your iPod?
"All I Want for Chistmas," from the Love Actually soundtrack. The singer's name is Olivia Olson [blushes fiercely]. God, that's embarrassing!
