Regarding the Oct. 7 Timeout feature, "Shigesato Itoi shares lots of 'delicious life' ": What a great interview with this acclaimed copywriter! Itoi is very well known in the United States as the creator of the Nintendo game "Mother 2," better known as "Earthbound." It was interesting to read about all the different directions he has pursued and the different projects he is now working on.

Thank you for this in-depth and very informative interview in which your people asked all the right questions.
