This is Fred Armisen from from a tv show here in the US called Portlandia...
I do heartily recommend the show if you can see it in Japan....
After reading your post about Portlandia, I went over to YouTube to see if they had any clips... they had tons, and I ended up watching ALL of them! I may have unknowingly missed a meal or two. Great stuff. There was a skit about everyone in Portland turning into DJs, that I could really relate to...
You (Prudence) mentioned you were RWSing these days. I was at someones house not to long ago and they had a RWS deck. I ended up borrowing it for a couple of weeks. I had a blast playing around with Waite's deck. It was liking meeting an old friend. Even put on some 80's pop tunes (YouTube again)... had too much wine... pulled out the old photos... starting sobbing over "the one that got away"...
Good times.

...Do you have any plans to revive and expand this method any further, if so I need to log in more often to keep up?
This may even draw Bee out of the woodwork....
Bees in the woodwork???
Sounds serious!
Revive and expand?
If you start from the foundations (element, power, number, dignity, etc.) and apply them to the cards and the querent's situation, the 'method' is always
expanding and
refreshing itself.
Obviously, you need to know the foundations, particularly the classical theories of how the elements do their thing. It's not difficult, but it may require a certain paradigm shift. When you have
it, the cards come to life. Those aren't cards anymore! That's not a spread! That's a clear diagram of how situational energies are fluctuating and interacting. Expansion, contraction, passivity, activity, velocity, location, time, direction, color, connection, separation... It's all there... clear as a bell, like a perfect snapshot of the querent's situation. It's all there on the table for you to put into words. Information.
All that information! Sometimes it's TOO MUCH information.
TOO MUCH!! A strange
tingle slithers up the spine into your skull... The peculiar sensation of tiny paws, tip-toeing across the surface of the brain... A odd undeniable urge to don a purple suit. You ask yourself how the white grease paint got on your face...
Hey Batman, wanna know how I got these scars?
But really, when you've internalized all the 'whys', the 'hows' become effortless. There is no need to memorize the 'nicknames' or the 'cycle of the year'. You'll just know (after some time, of course).
When a querent asked me who it was calling her every night at 2:00am and hanging up, and I could give her an answer, I knew I had a winner!!
