Naka-san and Mazin-san on dismantlement of old SEGA HQ

It's been some time since the SEGA's headquarters moved to Shinagawa, Tokyo, and the takedown of old main building of SEGA was officially announced. Now it's really happening.
Naka-san and Mazin-san reacted to a SEGA fan's tweet on initiated dismantlement of SEGA's old  building in Ohtorii, Tokyo.


He used to almost live in that building for developing games day and night, and co-created one of the most iconic characters of the world. That place must hold so many memories for him even after he left SEGA years ago.


Another Sonic developer, Mazin-san (Masato Nishimura-san), who is still a SEGA employee and had moved to the new HQ now, has commented too.


(In the last sentense in his original tweet, Mazin-san states with half-humorous/half-serious tone that he would give up his virginity in order to get them.)

Then he tweets that he will go to Ohtorii to take photos of the building tomorrow. "It's only been one month, but as I went there every day for work until then, it must look nostalgic to me."


The building is memorable for so many people, both for those who worked hard there and for fans who adore such hardworks.
The building itself is beautiful too, reflecting the blue sky of SEGA color all over. It's a shame that I didn't take my chance to visit there when I still could.
Goodbye, SEGA of Ohtorii.
