Jackie Baker/Wien (jackiekiddbaker@gmail.com), Staff Writer, News Editor, Game Reviewer, Columnist – Being discovered as an Animeblogger.net blogger, Jack, which is his pen name and keyboard name (much like how Minami Takayama is a stage name), joined J-Pop Express in August of 2007 to do various tasks such as giving details on the latest games to come out in Japan for the monthly game column. His tasks were giving reports on news and giving out several game reviews a year as well as doing con reports. Prior to joining, he was involved with various works including Anipike’s magazine. Jack is a native of San Jose. Unlike every staff member here, you did not see him a lot because he worked on Wien’s World, his official site (which has changed its location, though he no longer updates it). He has been a game player ever since he was six and though he discovered subjects such as “Dragonball Z” and “Sailor Moon”, Jack didn’t fully get to know Japanese music, anime and manga until around his junior year in high school. Some of the subjects of entertainment he loves are “Black/Matrix”, “Justice Academy”, “Espgaluda”, “Love Hina”, “Full Moon wo Sagashite”, “Mizuiro Jidai”, “Area 88″, art from Arina Tanemura, music from Yuzo Koshiro and Puffy, and performances from Megumi Hayashibara, Tomokazu Seki, Takehito Koyasu, Yui Horie and Yukari Tamura. Whenever Wien is not dealing with the usual forms of entertainment, he enjoys relaxing moments by himself, his knowledge of San Francisco Giants baseball and baseball overall, and various cards games. Seeing that he is so busy these days, Wien resigned on November 5, 2010.
