Q&A at Anime Expo

The first reports of Hyde’s interview at Anime Expo are coming in (and I'll edit this post if I come across others--I'm especially looking for those with the specific questions and answers). Seems he got there at 4:30 PM and answered questions for about thirty minutes. The interviewer’s name was Kana.

Here’s the link to Shizuyuki’s report on Tofu’s forums. She ended it by saying:

[Hyde] seemed really surprised that he had the turnout that he did. Even more than ever I definitely know that my admiration of his music and of him as a whole is not in vain. He didn't appear to be vain or even seemed to be trying to be polite. It appeared as if he was actually a very nice and funny guy. His answers seemed to be from the soul and he was very laid-back and collected at the same time.
One other thing, Hyde said he’s excited but also worried about the U.S. concerts. I think he’s going to be relieved to discover just how much he’s loved here by American fans.

Thanks to SelphieFairy for the above pic of the stage. Also, here’s a pic of the crowd (thanks to pikachax2713).

UPDATE: Thanks to Zeldazero for posting a report about the Q&A at Love Laruku where she includes a few more of the questions. It also seems Tofu recorded the session, so maybe they'll put the whole transcribed interview on their site.
