As mentioned in my post from the day before, Mazin-san visited the old SEGA HQ in Ohtorii which is in the process of takedown. It's about one month since he and all colleagues of SEGA moved into the new building in Shinagawa.


Mazin-san sings about a mysterious game company which makes dreams, which he finally finds in Ohtorii after a long journey...
And his screams.
"Looks beautiful, right? It had life a second before, and now it's all rolling down on the ground... wowowow---"

(I don't know which song he is using for the parody, but we can see his sorrow...)

"The cornerstone of the old HQ (2nd building).
SEGA Enterprises is amazing. Hooray Hayao!"

(Possibly Hayao Nakayama, former President and CEO of SEGA)

He wishes that this old building would reused as SEGA museum which is like the original stage of Bonanza (Mega Drive ver.) and the 1st floor all set with interactive games.

I also wish that would be true.

"Picking up every single trace of SEGA."


That must have been a nostalgic and heartbreaking trip for Mazin-san.
