Naka-san on an arrangement of SWEET SWEET SWEET

News from 2019.02.27
Archived on 2019.03.08

Naka-san found a video of a group which arranged and played the song 'SWEET SWEET SWEET' by Masato Nakamura of the band DREAMS COME TRUE.
"This song is called 'SWEET SWEET SWEET', a song which was kindly composed by Masato Nakamura of the band DREAMS COME TRUE as the ending song for Sonic 2. It looks like it was played for the wedding of their friend. That is wonderful."

It really is a nice arrangement with beautiful voices and ukulele sound. You should listen to it!

FYI, as you may already have noticed, the song was also used for Sonic 06 as Sonic story's ending theme. There are Japanese and English versions!

🍵Please support me with a coffee! A sweet one, maybe.

A figure of the old SEGA HQ? Naka-san bursts out ideas

News from 2019.02.27

Continuing his thread on the old SEGA HQ, Yuji Naka-san commented as follows on a tweet saying that a figure for the SEGA Enterprises building might sell:

"SEGA Enterprises HQ figure, that sounds good. If it happens, I want it to have each floor with reimagination of me developing Sonic or Yu-san creating OutRun and so on. Oh, I want R360, Gallaxy Force and Power Drift in the first floor. They better recreate the Sonic in the entrance hall too. Now this sounds more like a DeAGOSTINI model."

Somebody should realize all these ideas!

Hint for next game? Nakamura-san's new tweet might be related to Sonic 06

News from 2019.02.26
Archived on 2019.03.08

Nakamura-san, the producer of Sonic Forces and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), tweeted something that could be a hint of something!

His tweet consists of one arrow pointing to the right, and an image that seems to be a concept art of Soleanna Festival from Sonic 06.
The tweet style resemble that which he used for sneak-peeks of Sonic Forces back then, so it is highly possible that this is related to upcoming games.



What do you think of it? Could this be hinting at Sonic 06 remake or sequel?
SXSW is coming up in mid-March; they could be preparing an announcement for new Sonic contents..
