I thought they went out of their way to converse in English, with the prepared sheet and the attempts at banter. In fact, one guy tried to converse in Japanese, and after a sentence or two, the guitarist recognized that no one was understanding it. So he says "right" and moved on. It was a very subtle way of saying, "look you idiot, you're not cool"...

They were really funny too with the pictures of the audience. They looked like typical Japanese tourists when they pulled the cameras out.

They did a fantastic job attempting to speak in "ingrish".

Martha came home from work yesterday with a story about a message left on the voice mail from one of their colleagues in Japan. He spells out important things so that they do not misunderstand him. She said he spelled out something with an R in it and said, "R as in remon" (lemon).
'Twas quite humorous.
