This was the first of two shikishi that I received from Nakamura-san at AX 2010. The handlers at AX 2010 were incredibly rude and they told everyone in line that all we would get is a signature. Nakamura wasn't going to have any of that attitude. He had the staff create a special line, so that, after you received signatures from his other colleagues, Tomohiko Ishii & Kenji Kamiyama, he would draw a quick sketch of whomever you wanted.

On the first of the trio's two signature days, the AX staffers told us that were were only allowed to take one picture of the entire group. I realize that the rule was to speed up the line (which, BTW, was nothing compared to the voice actresses' line from "Macross Frontier"), but, if Nakamura was already taking a few seconds to sketch something, you'd think taking a photo wouldn't have slowed down the line at all.
