It has been an exciting few weeks in Japan for me.
An earthquake messed up my room and office, convenience stores emptied of all snacks, dark eerie streets, and more.
I started acting as a doctor on a Japanese TV show, and my girlfriend left me.
Only to be replaced (at least temporarily) by a celebrity singer, model, and fashion tycoon named Himeka Shirosaki.
Her singing.
Her Wikipedia Page
Her
Her with Me

But the highlight is my new job at Square Enix, where I will be the next core game engine programmer.
By coding the engine they use for all of their major products, I will in effect be working on all of their next Final Fantasy games, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, and more.


All of this in just 3 weeks.  Tokyo is an exciting place and I will definitely be staying here for life.
I hope to meet many gaming celebrities at Square Enix, and will do my best to put out the highest quality engine for their upcoming games.

This is great. Could you ask them to put on the remake of FF7 on the PS3 by saying they'll make a lot of money? :D
 
Congrats on the opportunity, Spiro. Don't let the higher-ups know about this board though or we might all get slammed with C&D orders.  :-X

So you're acting AND coding SE games? That's a lot to do. If it were still April 1st I'd laugh at you for an elaborate April Fools joke. Either way good luck with it all!
 
Thank you.

I want to see what is happening on the Final Fantasy VII front for personal reasons anyway.


Acting is a weekend job, and I don’t have to do it every weekend.
Also at my previous company I could take days off whenever, but that will not be the case at Square Enix, so my acting may suffer.

I am somewhat sure at least some in Square Enix know about this forum, but in any case I will not be talking about it to anyone.

ace! just uhh, don't be upset when people come complaining to you if a S.E. game comes out they don't like, it happens.

still, that's pretty awesome, congratulations.
 
So you just got a celebrity girlfriend and got a job with a very well established video game company?  Sounds like the high life (minus the horrible earthquake :/ ).  Congrats! 

Also, fixed your links for you, there were some unnecessary quotes and an extra http that were killing them.
 
Thank you.


I never consider relationships with celebrities to be permanent.  They have too many choices.
But I am glad for whatever time I get to spend with her meanwhile.

Speaking of, if it's not too personal, how does a Caucasian ask a Japanese if she wants to be his girlfriend?

Say "my salary is ¥10,000,000". She's guaranteed to say yes!
 
I congratulated you elsewhere L.Spiro, but I do it here too!  Congrats!  8-)
 
Did you have to sign a nondisclosure agreement when you got the SE job?  I want to know company secrets and insider info!

"Would you like to be my girlfriend"?
 
Thank you.


I will certainly have to sign an NDA probably on my first day on the job.

As for asking a girl to be your girlfriend, you usually don’t say it, it just happens.  If you are looking for a Caucasian way to go, you can just say whatever comes naturally to you because they are going to enjoy your foreign ways (it is part of your charm in Japan).

Oh, don't get the wrong idea from me. I'm happily married and plan to stay that way. I was just curious about crossing cultural barriers because it was something that I did consider in my youth. I do have plans to move to Japan with my wife and currently unborn child in the future. However, the question was just something I never found an answer to. Probably because the only Japanese girls I was around in high school weren't going to stay in the country and didn't want to b approached like that. :)
 
I had heard you were married, somewhere.

How did you meet your wife?

You might have read it on my GameFAQ sig. I met her in 10th grade choir actually, though we didn't start dating until the summer before her senior college year.

To live forever?
How do you plan to do that?
Starting your own company is the easiest way to guarantee yourself and your family a visa, but is also the riskiest financially.

I wish, but no. There lots of programs we've considered applying to like her going with JET and me with GET. Problem with that is that those two don't really communicate with each other so they might want to assign us to totally separate areas of the country. We're keeping our options open at least.
 
Haha. I misread 'to live forever' as actually meaning... to live forever. I mean, Japanese technology isn't that advanced.

Yet.
