That may be true, but he also said that he can't wake up in the morning. I can't tell if
that was a joke though.
If it was someone else (like the former Livedoor boss) who was 45 minutes late and
didn't apologize properly, the story would be totally different.
Especially if he (the Livedoor guy) started speaking in informal Japanese on top of
being 45 minutes late, I'd punch him in the face.
I think it's Hiroyuki's fame and charisma that allow him to get away with that.
I like him, in case you misunderstand. Have you ever met him?
