I just managed to get my hands on scans of the Shintaro Kago pages in this month's issue of Vice. Thumbnails here, and links to download large scans below. ENJOY!
3 page interview thumbnails:
4 page Vice exclusive comic thumbnails:
UPDATE: No need to download scans unless you want them REALLY BIG (if so, just email me). The interview with Kago, picture of him holding his dog and the entire comic can be found online at Viceland here.
PS: I want to send a copy of the magazine to our Shintaro Kago scanlator and provider, Mr. Anonymous K. I have his contact details, so if you have a copy you'd like to donate, I would really appreciate it. Mr. K lives in a country where he'll probably not see this magazine in person unless a generous Same Hatter gifts him one. Email me at samehatATgmailDOTcom if you wanna be his secret santa.

@jan panda:
Got a hi-res version of the cover-- check it out :)
@bizarrejapan: enjoy! :B
Oh, I am enjoying it, no doubt about that! :) great little interview and even better comic :)
btw, I'm reading Ero Guro Nansensu book. Great stuff. Gives you a whole lot more perspective on things, in terms of analysing ero guro as a japanese version of modern 30's culture.
I'm at a loss of words. Awesome article!
I imagined him being way old and thin.

Hey JEFF :)
Thanks for that-- I noticed the bump in traffic lately. I've been under the gun with a book i'm translating and editing, but I'm gonna start posting in earnest again this weekend.
I appreciate the readership.
ryan
thank you very much for posting this..interesting indeed
*sight*...are any new kago-translations from anybody planned.....I need more....I have a few mangas of him in japanese on my computer now, but it's only half the fun when you can't speak japanese....*sight...so much internet searching i've done the last days...anyway, greeting from germany
hmm, I guess I'll have to check out some of his work. sounds like it'd be right up my alley.
