Rodger Swan

This is my tribute to the Japanese-Video Blogger Rodger Swan. A man who first came to Japan through an exchange program in college, and enjoying it so much, began teaching English last September (2009). But, unfortunately passed away last Tuesday. I regret never being able to meet this wonderful man. As having an extreme interest in retro video games myself, I'm sure we would have got on well. This is for him, Rest in Peace.

Sorry about the quick editing, with all the other tributes out there, I made this rather quickly to give a little taste of what he meant to me.

@ultraali453 That's what everybody kept saying. Wherever he may be know, and whatever you believe, may he rest in peace.

The ironic thing was, when I was first in Tokyo, he was there for about 2 days for JET orientation. One of my biggest regrets in life was never having met up with him at that time.

@TokyoNerd I feel bad that I can't come up with anything, haha... Maybe somehow get as many youtubers and jvloggers in a video collab.

Nice. Feel free to message me if you make any plans.

@TokyoNerd Ya, it would be nice. I have messaged some JVloggers about it.
