So, I learned recently that I may actually be able to go to Japan. I'm going to have to continue researching, to make sure the means is still working for people, but Reddit has a thread full of felons who simply marked "no" on the entry questionnaire, when it asks if they've ever been in trouble, and Japan is like, "Cool, come on in." If you ever make that pilgrimage, we can meet up for NYE or something, and post here about our adventures, which would no doubt be legendary. You're about the only person here who I believe without a doubt is about this shit as much as I am, would be an honor to share that experience with you.
I hadn't heard about the Asakuras possibly fighting in PFL, but it kinda makes sense. I think Sak's meeting with Dana a while back didn't go as planned, probably money matters, so he must have had conversations with Davis afterward. Sefo is no stranger to Japan, probably made those talks pretty easy. I like it.
