But he tries to stay positive - that is Kanemaru-san's spirit!

たとえどうあれ、
これまで皆さんが築き上げてくださった、内に秘めたスピリットは堅持したいです。

But even he can't help but express his surprise and doubt.

But he recovers quickly with that special positiveness of his, and tries to look things in a good way:

まあ、これはこれで
別ver.でやりがいがあるかもね😄

He also draws a line here saying that he is merely an actor who will take the offer whenever it comes, and that we still don't know anything that's coming up.
That is very true.

愛情あるスタッフやファンの皆さんのものですから(^-^)

僕は受ける立場ですので…。
ここまでとさせてくださいね。
何もまだわかりませんので(^-^;

🔵Kanemaru-san on Sonic the Movie visual (6): "It belongs to the passionate staffs and fans like you *smile*
I'm just someone who will take the offer when it comes... So I will end this here. We still don't know anything about it." https://t.co/sGqC6zbUnx

Later he adds that the Movie Sonic actually looks cute if he look closely.
...I'm still not sure about that.

よく見ると可愛い✨

I can merge with his energy.
多分ね。

Hopefully, this is the case! I don't know if I want hm to voice that Sonic, but if it's going to be the case, I probably can like that model better.

Later he added further cheerful tweets which seem to be responses to the incident:

Everything happens for the best!
全ては最善のために起きる！

*目の前の現実は中立。
それにどういう意味を加えるか。

それならば、
良いエネルギーを注がなくちゃ！#JzPowerTweet

既成概念に囚われず
新しいセンスを
柔軟な全身で取り込む

100%の喜びの中でね。

素晴らしき
クリエーション、
エボリューションとは、
そういうこと！#JzPowerTweet

"Be flexible and absorb new taste in full without being trapped by an established concept.
That in 100% joy.
That's how amazing creation and evolution are!"


I wish myself such positiveness like Kanemaru-san's. But I think it will take a very long time for me to ever accept what we have received. If the design remains that way, I won't be able to go watch the movie itself even if the story of the movie is going to be great.

We'll hope for the best...


Additional tweet from 03.08:

不確かな情報や印象操作には踊らされないようにしましょう。
断定されたわけではありませんので、僕もそういう表現までにとどめておきました。実際のところ、何もわからないので(^-^;

"Let's not be influenced by uncertain information and impression manipulation.
The information is still not confirmed, so I retained my tweets at that level. We still know nothing about it."

That is again very true. We shoult not resent on something we're not even sure if it's true or not. We'll see.
