To Celebrate the 9th Anniversary of Shenmue's release in Japan, we have started a mass mailing to Sega of Japan. I will be asking all the fans that are able, to participate in this event. This event has already gone international with many countries joining the mailing. The main idea is that all of us that can will be sending in as many Toy Capsules as we can to SoJ (like the ones you buy in the game). This style of mass mailing was used by fans of the Tv show Jericho. They sent bags of peanuts to the network and succeeded in getting their show put back on the air!
Now being that many of us will be mailing over seas the Toy packs can get a little pricey, a pack of 1lb of capsules from California is about $20. So if all you can send is a letter, that will be good also. For those who do not want to be bothered with doing the mailing yourself, I have set up a Paypal donation button on the main page, and I will personally take care of the mailing. It will be your choice if you want empty capsules with "shenmue" notes in them, or ones with actual toys. You can decide how many capsules too, if you want to send 3 little ones you bought real quick from the capsule machines at walmart, Cool! If you want to send a full box you ordered from Ebay, even better. Or if you just want to click the donate button on the front on the myspace page, thats fine too....
The actual date we started the mailing is Nov. 27th (Dreamcast's anniversary) and will continue through Dec. 29th (Shenmue's 9th anniversary). Please include a letter asking for the continuation of the Shenmue series with your toy capsules, and poster printed from the Shenmue Poster Project. If you are only sending a letter, please include a poster with yours as well. Please be polite in you letters as you will be representing the entire Shenmue fan base :) Also, please take pictures of the packages you are sending and email them to ShenmueAm2@gmail.com
For those who would like to check how much it would cost to mail from their Country/city, Check at your local post office, fedex, or UPS store. Here is Sega of Japan's address:

You may send an additional pack to Yu Suzuki at the same address:
