    After a recent interview with Eurogamer, Daigo Umehara found that he enjoyed the Western interview style...that and he has launched a personal website (work in progress). The community on Capcom-Unity were invited to ask him questions and he has responded. One interesting question from the interview (although I used a different one in my other write-up):

    What is your monthly arcade bill?
    My monthly arcade bill differs quite a bit from before when I was younger and nowadays. I now spend about 10000 yen or about $100 per month when I'm not competitively practicing for a tournament, and 30000 yen ($300) when I'm intently practicing. But before, it was in the range of 50000 and 60000 (~$600) yen all the time whether a tournament is coming up or not.

    Now THAT is crazy. So is it a luxury, a blessing or a curse that arcades are not popular here :D
