any chance of an interview with Shugo Tokumaru?

I know this is a long shot because he's Japanese and it would be difficult to get ahold of him but I've been pretty fascinated with his sound for a long time (he's been called a Japanese "Sufjan Stevens", though I don't really believe that opinion). He played 100 different instruments on his last album "Exit" and apparently, it was all recorded at home on his Mac and a few microphones. Is there any chance at all that TapeOp would pursue the opportunity to interview him?

For those who haven't heard of him, here's a song from his latest EP, "Rum Hee" (features footage of him playing with members of The National and Beirut):
