It would be beneficial if screen casts would have at least English subtitle so the knowledge and ideas could be widely spread.

I was invited last year, and I have to admit that I was nervous about presenting in English. I needn't have been. This is one of the warmest and most welcoming conferences I've attended. Leonard and Zev took incredibly care of me, translating talks in real time, and translating questions during my Q&A session. And Tokyo is an amazing city (but take a compass because, like London, I don't think there's a straight street in the place :). If you have a killer topic, I'd strongly recommend taking the plunge and submitting it. Dave
