Japanese only; interview included in the 2010 reissue of Scenario Experiments Lain
Note: maybe this should be translated as "lain turns 12"? i don't know, it's literally "lain of the twelfth year"

November 2010
Interviewees: Ueda, Abe, Konaka, Shimizu, Akihisa Okuda, Hiroshi Saitou, Youichi Senzui, Tetsuro Satomi, Burger Suzuki
Japanese only: [21], [22]
Note: This was an event held at Cine Libre Ikebukuro in Tokyo to promote the release of the Bluray Box|RESTORE.[23] It seems like most of the people on stage were random animators who had nothing to do with the production of Lain, unless I'm just bad at finding credits. And one of them was named Burger! But my best guess is that they were the people involved in the restoration process.
