TAN Mitsugu:

In this episode, Seeff recalls his photo session with FZ in 1976, explaining why he threw a cream pie against Zappa's face. Of course, this session yielded the cover photos of Joe's Garage and Lather.

You can read the English translation of some exceprts here.

You can also read this interview with Seeff in English , in which he talks about the same session.

TAN Mitsugu:

This is a series of interviews with foreign music A&R people in the Japanese record companies. In this episode, Yamaura Masahiko talks about his time in Warner Pioneer (1971-1977) with a couple of references to FZ:
(1) Warner Pioneer launched in January 1971 and the first batch of releases included Weasels Ripped My Flesh, which Yamaura states "sold less than 1,000 units".
(2) When Warner-related artists came to Japan, Yamaura often ended up taking them out on the town. But FZ preferred staying in his hotels, while the members of the Mothers were in the full vigor of youth and liked to go out.
And there's a snapshot of Yamaura and FZ on p 175. 

On page 13: Legendary Live in U.K., a photograph by Ian Dickson, Shot 69: Frank Zappa, Hammersmith Odeon, London, 9th February 1977.

TAN Mitsugu:

In this episode of the long-running report on various record collectors, Otaka visited Kobayashi Shingo's bar & gallery in downtown Tokyo. The page 183 has a candid photo of FZ shaking hands with Kobayashi. The photo was shot in summer 1976 when he first visited the U.S.

The page 200 has a book review of "Listen to Frank Zappa" by Ohyama Kohjitsu. 

One of the news items on p 183 is the release of Charles Ulrich's "The Big Note". 

The extensive feature on "Hot Rats", which comprises several articles by the magazine's regular contributors.

Ahmet talks about the Zappa movie by Alex Winter, the recent archival releases and his memories of Frank and Gail. 

TAN Mitsugu: "This issue has an article on The Mothers 1971 boxset, plus a short review of the Japanese pressings of the Zappa Movie soundtrack and 200 Motels."

TAN Mitsugu: "This issue selected 200 rock albums from the '60s that you must hear, based on a poll of the magazine's regular writers. The ranking includes Trout Mask Replica (#13), Freak Out! (#22), Hot Rats (#68) and We're Only In It For The Money (#139), each of which has a short review, respectively written by Koyama Mamoru (小山守), Takeda Akihiko (武田昭彦), Yasuda Kenichi (安田謙一) and Naoeda Masahiro (直枝政広). Also, you can find an article about the recent Japanese releases of the two FZ-related soundtracks (the Zappa movie and 200 Motels), and a review of three documentaries about Laurel Canyon."
