- Even now, 150 years since the country opened itself up to the world in 1868, there is something uniquely special and particular about Japan, something which seems to survive its hectic pace, hyper-modern technology and mega-metropolis of Tokyo, all hallmarks of the age of globalization. Director Bianca Charamsa made her way to Japan during this year's cherry blossom season to get to grips with the country's character through conversations with some of its artists. Among those she met were the actress Kaori Momoi, superstar architect Tadao Ando, Cannes award-winning director Naomi Kawase, and other cultural figures such as the artist Takahiro Iwasaki, writer Keiichiro Hirano and two guardians of traditional culture: a Soto Yen priest and a tea master. Although two violent atomic catastrophes - the bombing of Hiroshima and the Fukushima nuclear disaster - have shaken and shaped modern-day Japan, the artist Takahiro Iwasaki believes that memory of 6th and 9th August 1945 is slowly fading, despite all the folded cranes left by visitors to the memorial sites. Natural catastrophes like sea- and earthquakes also rock Japan time and time again; perhaps this explains why the Japanese aesthetic Wabi Sabi incorporates both beauty and decay...much like the beauty of the cherry blossom as it withers during the annual festival of Hanami.

- This two-disk set was filmed live at the (soon to be famous) Flying Saucers Café in Santa Monica, California. Michael inaugerated his new, interactive format, where he takes questions - and challenges - from the audience instead of presenting lectures, such as are available in the Meier Case Update series, featured below. This presentation is the first in a series of presentations Michael is scheduled to make at the cafe. Some of the questions that Michael gives in-depth answers to in this - non-stop, two hours and forty minutes - new series are: ? Why has the Meier case been suppressed by the powers that be? ? Where can we find documentation of the publication of the prophecies and predictions? ? What kind of intervention can we expect from the Plejaren in light of the critical conditions we now face? ? Who were the gods of the past in the various religions? ? What do the Plejaren say about Obama? ? What's the truth about skeptics who now claim to have duplicated Meier's photos and films? ? How does reincarnation work if you were an extraterrestrial, in a distant past life, who came here? ? How and why did we need seven prophets to bring the spiritual teaching to us? ? Why didn't the Plejaren offer of contact with the Jimmy Carter administration, in 1979, succeed? ? What's the truth about the Roswell androids, secret military craft the UFO cover-up? ? How does demonizing "aliens" connect to corporate and governmental plans for gaining complete control over humanity, including bio-chipping? ? Were, or are, there any other authentic contactees? ? What about official "Disclosure"? ? What are the latest prophecies and predictions? ...and many, many, many more in the first of this fascinating new series. NOTE: This is the same cafe at which Michael also made his groundbreaking public announcement about his own personal evidence that the Meier case is authentic.
