Far East of Eden Mystery Continues...read Japanese?

Disney also tried to buy the rights for Star Blazers (Uchu Senkan
Yamato, one of my favorite PC Engine games!) for a motion picture but thank
God Voyager Entertainment and Jupiter Films wouldn't have anything to do with
them.
If anyone out there is fluent in Japanese and has the Tengai Maykou
games (even the AWESOME Saturn one), there is a profile of Chada but it is in
Japanese (p.47 in the Kabuki den manual). I'd LOVE to know what they say about
him in it. Has anyone found anything out about Professor Chada and what his
connection is to the Tengai Makyou series? For those of you who don't have
any of the games in the RPG series (btw, is any of this printed in the
fighting games?), here is what he has to say in English:
It's time for the Japanese creators to enter the world-wide stage.
This is a great new challenge which offers an entirely new prospective in the
development of the fantasy world. Movie is dead, and we will enjoy a new form
of drama through the computers in our homes. I feel "KABUKI" brings a whole
new dimension to RPG not present in the western RPG. I hope "KABUKI" will
strike Hollywood and Disney with this oriental magic.
Dr. P.H. Chada
Though I agree with most of this, it's kind of moot since it doesn't
seem as though Hudson made any push to bring this out to the US where
Hollywood and Disney might ever see it! What even a little more bizarre is
that in Tengai Makyou IV: The Apocalypse (Saturn), the setting is the United
States!
