After party is just getting started. Big time industry names like Mizuguchi and Suda51 are about. One, though, stands out. Xbox Japan honcho Takashi Sensui makes his way through the crowd. I pull him aside:
ME: "What did you think of the MGS4 gameplay demo?"
HIM: "It was very good."
"Why are there still rumors that MGS4 will appear on the Xbox 360?"
"What do you mean?"
"Kojima appeared on stage at a Sony event, saying it was an exclusive. But the rumors won't stop."
"Many of our users want MGS4 on the Xbox 360."
"Will they get it?"
"Ask him."
Sensui points to Kojima on stage.
"I don't mean to be rude," I say, "but why are you here then?"
"Kojima is an old friend of mine."

And we are in — we being me. The actual event kicks off at 5:30PM, which means we've got less thirty minutes to kill. The hallway is crowded with flowers from Sony execs like Kaz Hirai, suits and some guy in a white t-shirt. The dress code for tonight's event? Business casual.

New Digs
Roppongi Station. It's a little before 5PM Tokyo time, and I've touched down in the newly gentrified section of the city known as Tokyo Midtown. Kojima Productions and Konami, previously located in the Mori Building in Roppongi Tower, relocated to Midtown earlier this year — along with pretty much everyone else in Roppongi Hills with some semblance of the hip and the cool.
