( Yasuyuki Ueda's glasses were a popular target of humor in the Green room. ) ( Yasuyuki gives us a eye-catch. To Quote : WHASSSSUP! ) ( He follows through with posing for the camera as his friend, Abe, vainly tries to speak seriously about his work. ) ( By the end of the interview, everyone in the green room had given up trying to keep a straight face. ) ( Common practice for the relaxing guests during the interviews would be to send Otakon staffers behind the camera in eyesight of the interviewees, posing as Ueda with his glasses. )
