I also received this award, and what can I say? When T3 contacted me I didn’t realize what it was all about, and a bit surprised at seeing myself among these impressive people (Ryan Block, Brian Lam, Steve Jobs, Horace Luke…).

I want to thank ALL of you, readers, tech companies, the staff here at Akihabara News and HIC, since this award wouldn’t have been possible without you.

Thank you very much! We promise with the New Akiba, we’ll work hard to give you more!
