In 2010, Carl Barat of Libertines fame came to Tokyo to promote his eponymous solo album, which was rather good. I interviewed him at the offices of the company promoting him in Japan. Even though he was extremely jet-lagged and a bit dishevelled, he allowed me to video the interview (above). The article that this produced can be read here and here, while a couple of quotes from it even made it into his Wikipedia entry.
