A fan of NiGHTS had a question and Ohshima-san answered it! Another mystery from years was solved on this day.

Actually, maybe I'll ask...@NaotoOhshima: I found this screenshot of NiGHTS a long time ago, but this shot doesn't appear in the game. Where is it from? Thank you! https://t.co/FWnuP49BPk

This was made for the OP. But that might have been cut.

So the image was made for the opening scene of the game, but it was cut out by the end.
I wonder where the image came from then?

SEGA Official becomes a Taiyaki producer?!

The person behind SEGA Official is trying out new recipe for Taiyaki again!
She already arranged a new recipe once with Natto and it became a popular menu for SEGA's Taiyaki Shop. What sort of cool idea does she have this time?

できた。

うん、コンビーフの塩気とチーズの相性バッチリだし、たい焼きの生地でもたぶん美味しいと思う。ゲームの合間の軽食にもぴったり。

よーし、明日「#セガのたい焼き」の企画書を書くぞー📝#本業ナンなん pic.twitter.com/kcX9QQnCSU

"Done.
Yes, the combination of corned beef's saltiness and cheese is perfect, and I think they will be tasty together in Taiyaki dough. It's also good for light meal between gaming.
Alright, I'll write up a plan for SEGA's Taiyaki tomorrow! (What's my main job actually?)"

"Since I am a very active person, I came to the Ikebukuro branch of SEGA's Taiyaki shop. They will kindly try out my recipe."

なんの試作品かというと、セガのたい焼きコンビーフ味の試作品です。昨日チーズと相性がいいことがわかったので、たい焼き用のプロセスチーズもトッピングしたいと思います。

"What recipe you ask me? It's the SEGA Taiyaki's corned beef tryout. I realized it fits well with cheese, so we are using processed cheese as a topping.
It's a straightforward way to follow our company's motto 'Creation is Life' with my footwork - TRY anything! "

It actually looks pretty good! It reminds me of crepe with salty fillings. Sweet Taiyaki dough and salty cheese + corned beef sounds perfect! I wanna try it out...
