On 13 January, Jamiroquai were guests on the radio broadcast of the J-Wave Tokio Hot 100 chart countdown (Japan). During an interview with Jay, he said that he used to work in a factory packing bean sprouts, which are a very popular ingredient in Japanese cuisine, for a pathetically low wage. Chris Peppler, the J-Wave DJ then gave Jay a pack of sprouts in the interview!
Around this time in May 2000, bidding on the Mini website for a Jamiroquai customised Mini car finished with the winner driving away in a bit of mini-jamiro-history for just over 14,000 pounds (UK).
