Yesterday, Mazin-san visited the old SEGA HQ in Ohtorii.
Today, he discovered that the SEGA logo on the 2nd building was removed at last.


He says if the logo will be destroyed, he would have it instead...
Or will it be used somewhere else?

3.11 is the day not to be forgotten in Japan. 8 years ago from today, a massive natural disaster, followed by a man-made disaster, destroyed the Touhoku region of Japan. There are still thousands of victims who have not recovered from that day.

Some of the voice actors of Sonic series expressed their concern and prayer for those affected on Twitter. (some examples below)

"Good morning
It's been 8 years since 3.11"
-- Nobutoshi Kanna (voice of Knuckles)
"[On that day, I was...]
Right after a check-up endoscopy at a clinic in a high buildling of Shinjuku. It was like being in a ship in raging waves. I have not forgotten the fearful scene with bending scyscrapers while they were shook. We do what we can do, step by step."
 --- Junichi Kanemaru (voice for Sonic)
