You made the assumption the broadcast would spoken be in English.

See it from their perspective - why would the fact that you cannot speak Japanese prevent you from participating? You can still tweet questions, which they will interpret from English to Japanese, and they will still selectively answer questions and post English interpretations of the Q&A's back to Twitter. You also still get to see the videos and pics they are displaying in real-time.

You're not raging because SE has done wrong again - you're raging because you're used to being catered for English first, and having to deal with communications where English is the second language you are finding it difficult to deal with.

If you don't want to participate just because the spoken language being used isn't English, stop wasting the time and emotional energy of the rest of us and go back to bed.

Please.

Seriously. Your English-centric raging is considerably embarrassing.
I don't have an issue merely with them broadcasting in Japanese. Nor do I necessarily have a problem with them using twitter.

What I have a problem with is that this live letter was announced a week ago, and likely planned well before then. Yet at no point in time did the English community representatives feel the need to tell us that the video would be only in Japanese and that we would have to follow on Twitter if we wanted to get any form of translation.

This is necessary information, the English representatives should have given us.
