The One Piece Podcast to Interview One Piece Editor Takeru Isaka
NEW YORK, NY - July 4, 2013 - The One Piece Podcast started in 2009 with a vision: to bring the manga and anime series One Piece to a global audience. This August, we take the next step.
The podcast will be heading to Japan to film a video documentary series for The One Piece Podcast starting August 4th. As part of the series we will have live video events, video interviews, video tours of Japan, and cultural insights. We will visit One Piece events, exhibitions, One Piece bars, Shueisha, and more.
We are happy to announce our first guest for our "One Piece Podcast Goes to Japan" event, Takeru Isaka, Manga Editor for One Piece since December 2010. As editor, Mr. Isaka works closely with creator Eiichiro Oda on a weekly basis and handles all matters related to the One Piece manga. As a representative of all fans, he offers Oda advice on story presentation and progression. This will be his first interview with any Western press. The interview will take place at the headquarters for Weekly Shonen Jump at Shueisha, Inc. in Chiyoda, Japan.
On our trip to Japan, you will get to see everything we see. We will give you a perspective of Japan only we at The One Piece Podcast can. Here are just some of the events we'll be visiting and reporting on:
Bandai Namco "Weekly Shonen Jump" Theme Park (Ikebukuro, Tokyo)
