OK, now I understand fully.  He just wants Amano's stuff.  That's cool. 
I'll send them a mini-DV tape (or two if they want both presentations), 
but add some titles that refer to the AGA for full DVD and also give 
credits to me & Scott. :)

I'll also have to e-mail back the speakers and say "never mind".

Dear Erik,

Thank you for your e-mail.
My first idea was to introduce Mr. Amano's presentation to the planted aquarium 
hobbyists in Japan.
Of course it is very nice if we can include all the speaker's presentation, but 
then I think it is reasonable to advise Japanese fans to get DVD directly from 
AGA.

My original idea was to extract Amano's presentation part from your DVD, and 
add some slide show of Mr. Amano's Rio Negro picture book.
So we would like to create our DVD disk.

Layout Contest
Thanks for your effort to get approval from AGA contest participants. I really 
appreciate if you could provide information of agreed participants, such as 
name, address, etc.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Nozomi Hayakawa
Aqua Design Amano Co., Ltd.
