The next question was asked to Mr. Frederik Schodt about receiving an award from the Japanese government for his work on Japanese popular culture.
------------------
==============
How has the "Order of the Rising Sun" award changed your life?
==============
Frederik Schodt: Well, I flew in a Lear Jet. Seriously, it hasn't changed my life. It was a huge honor to receive the award. I didn't feel worthy of accepting it. My fear was that I was getting old. The award is usually given to older people. I think there are 60 different ranks. Tezuka was given a higher rank. If I came to Japan and told people I got the award, they wouldn't believe that I got the honor. Again it was a huge honor.
