Here you can see the party inviting Eugene Jarvis who made ROBOTRON. http://www.robotron2084guidebook.com/?page_id=851 With several emails with Mark who is organizing the plan and home page, he also wanted to show Japanese fans to Eugene. I propose to do a little project on Twitter to have messages of celebration of ROBOTRON, or comments from Japanese ROBOTRON fans! Eugene is surprised to hear there are many Japanese fan of ROBOTRON from Mark. So I want to help compile Japanese fans' messages! The result was comprised to this page but almost all messages are unfortunately Japanese. http://togetter.com/li/323268 Here are the messages and if there is contact address I added, and some with my comment. My comment is braced with <>. Satoshi Nakamura @denji_n(twitter) [background] <2millions player> [celebration comment] Cheers!

But I found the size is too big to use staircase! So I arranged transport sevice specializing furniture such as piano. They took out the front glass in case of accident....
