I hesitated about putting this up on TokyoMango-a LOT-because it's kinda embarrassing to see myself on TV, but here it is: a clip from my appearance on ABC's View from the Bay in July 2008. I'm actually also on their new digital network show, Home with Lisa Quinn on Live Well HD, but I haven't seen that yet. Don't laugh!

Lisa Katayama's personal blog.
My Bio
- I write articles about culture, technology, and human rights for Wired, Popular Science, Fast Company, and the New York Times Magazine. I also produce radio segments for PRI's Studio360 and am a Correspondent for Boing Boing, one of Time Magazine's five most essential blogs of 2010.
In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

You shouldn't be embarrassed, you look great on TV! That last part with the glass looked pretty dangerous!
I always love how TV hosts these days never seem to bother learning how to pronounce the things they're talking about... when I was on my high school radio station way back when, that was the first thing we learned to do. She says the name of the book like a question not once, but twice.

You should do more TV, you come across as very natural and never patronize the audience. Short Urawaza segments like this one would fit in well with any number of shows.

Loved it! You should definitely do more TV!

You seemed pretty relaxed. Also... hot.
Well done.
