Some consecutive Tweets from Inaba on the 2nd of May, that I don't think I saw translated on GAF.
"I've been testing 'The Wonderful 101' all day since morning and my eyes feel like this: (*_*). Since Kamiya first pitched this game a few years ago I have really, really, really wanted to see it released. I hope you are looking forward to it...
For 'The Wonderful 101' there were many times when this game looked to be in trouble, and each time I would go to President Minami and say 'I really, really, really want to release this game!'. It's not as if Minami wanted to cease work on this project all together. It's that, since risk management of the job of the company president, he wanted to ensure it was properly discussed. (continued)
If the Director compromises on quality, the whole game's content suffers. If a Producer becomes overwhelmed by the height of the hurdles necessary to overcome in order to release the game, it may as well be as if the project never existed from the start. It is so easy for either of these things to happen. It's at that time that the Director and Producer need to work hard to continue on.
The Director must not compromise. That is the job of the Producer. However, the producer must not quit. Betting one's life on releasing something of value is the reason for the Producer's existence. If you don't have that, you may as well close up shop.'

And of course these Tweets he made in English right before, relating to the Journos who report on Kamiya's tweets about TW101's length.
