I just saw this on PSPupdates:

Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest videogame publishers, is delighted to announce a live chat session with Tetsuya Mizuguchi to discuss about his inspiration and share his thoughts about the creative process behind Lumines.

This hour chat session will be open to the general public and will give fans a chance to ask the creator of the game nearly anything they want, either about the game itself or about developing games on a new console.

The chat will begin on September 7th, 2005 at 2 pm GMT. Here is everything you need to know in order to miss none of it:

Irc Network: irc.ubisoft.com - Public Irc Channel: #lumines

I believe that it starts in a couple of hours from now. Who knows if it will be filled with Gamefaqers or not though....

I guess this is over now.
Is there a transcript or anything?

I don't know how long it will last for though.

The most interesting comments had to be:

[09:57] <Ryosan> <McCloud2> Will there really be a Lumines 2, if yes.. what are gonna be the major changes ?
[09:58] <Mizuguchi> We haven't announced about Lumines 2 yet...
[09:58] <Mizuguchi> but we've been trying out many things for Lumines 2...
[09:59] <Mizuguchi> well...
[09:59] <Mizuguchi> sorry... i cannot tell you more than that at this point...

[10:07] <Ryosan> <^Simon> In Rez (awesome game, by the way) the last level (5) was really special, very specific and different from the other levels, and that really made a huge impression on me. In Lumines the same can be said for the "Lights" level with, as you describe, a sunset. Is this a very concious decision on your part, to hold some stuff back for the finale? Michel Ancel said surprise is very important to a game, do you agree with that?
[10:09] <Mizuguchi> I'd like to thank you, who asked this question...
[10:09] <Mizuguchi> Indeed, Rez 5th level and Lumines Lights have something in common...
[10:10] <Mizuguchi> if some of you don't really understand how they are similer, sorry...
[10:10] <Mizuguchi> but... the point is...
[10:10] <Mizuguchi> i always want to put some message in games...
[10:11] <Mizuguchi> it could be a small message, but i want players to feel something...
[10:11] <Mizuguchi> from now on...
[10:12] <Mizuguchi> more games will be like that...
