Le Bibendum céleste, Premier tome by Nicolas de Crécy

He mentions the same thing happened with Ukiyo-e in the Edo period.

He thinks Japanese should naturally have more pride in thier own culture, without needing foreign appraisal to actually see its worth. Joe says he kinda feels sorry that it has taken foreign appraisal of manga to make Japanese people appreciate manga for the great thing it is.

He mentions that he has long had the impression that Japanese culture has been quite taken up by the French. He hasn't seen the work of the French artists before, but he really loves all the Japanese artists who are to be featured. Kaoru says he really wants to see this exhibition, as he loves manga. French artists to be featured include Nicolas de Crécy and Marc-Antoine Mathieu, considered to be comic masters in France. Tasai continues to say that the exhibition in Japan will feature artists like Araki Hirohiko (creator of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure), and Matsumoto Taiyō (creator of table tennis manga 'Ping Pong'). Kaoru says he remembers seeing manga cafes in Paris which stocked French translations of Japanese manga. Quite a high value is placed on comics in France, and since the 1960s attitudes have developed to the point that comics are now seen as a high art form. Tasai's next story is that the Louvre Art Museum will hold an exhibition in Japan to showcase manga. Kami has landed Tokyo Sports in difficulties with this information. Tasai doesn't know, and says further investigation is probably needed. Joe asks what can actually be said if a live alien is caught. The others laugh at how he can be so sure in such a short time. After checking it out with Tokyo Sports' own UFO expert, he thinks this could be pretty major. But Tasai repeats that the place of the incident is apparently New Mexico, the Holy Land of UFOs.

The photo with the source shows the typical 'grey alien', which seems suspicious at first. After checking this out Tasai says that according to Russian sources, a UFO has crashed and an alien been taken alive in New Mexico, USA. This reminds Kaoru of when Tasai said he took a photo of a UFO in Mexico, which they talked about in one of the live specials. The letter reads, 'Crashed UFO.Aliens caught.in New Mexico, USA'. Tasai's first news is that Tokyo Sports have recieved an anonymous letter with a tip-off, which they suspect is from Kami.
