He is a blockbuster novelist and Booker Prize winner, whose adapted work is tipped for Oscar glory. Ian McEwan has built a dedicated following over the decades with a string of bestsellers, but is currently experiencing a new level of celebrity amid the success of his novel "Atonement." With its adaptation nominated for Best Picture at this weekend's Academy Awards, McEwan joins Anjali Rao to talk about his role as film producer -- as well as the alleged plagiarism in his novels, his macabre writing style and the discovery of his long lost brother.

Anjali Rao speaks to five high-profile guests in Tokyo, including New York Yankees star Hideki Matsui, Oscar-nominated actress Rinko Kikuchi, designer Yohji Yamamoto, Kabuki star Ebizo Ichikawa and Kenji Kasahara, the founder of Japan's biggest SNS site, Mixi.
