Taishi Nakagawa-san, the voice of Sonic in "Sonic the Movie", told in various interviews about his passion and sincere stance towards giving voice to Sonic - not as a "guest for learning how to do voice acting", but as a challenger to give everything he could to keep the movie at its quality and without dishonoring other voice actors. 

He also talked about Soinc's charms and promoted the movie as "a movie for every generation, wether or not you are the game's fan".

Celebrate into Sonic's birthday together!

To celebrate the release & Sonic's birthday, Ohtani-san planned a special event for June 22th!

"On the day I released the song list, I thought, since it's a DJ MIX album, I would like to hold an event on which everyone start playing the album at the same time and use a tag to comment their thoughts while I post background information to the songs. The next day I consulted the marketing people and we agreed on one beat! Such a speed."

"So, from 22:59, I'd like to play the album 'Sonic the Hedgehog DJ Style "PARTY" ' with you together and enjoy the hour before [Sonic's] birthday with the DJ MIX. No matter a CD, on streaming service or your data, just start playing at the same time!"

SONIC SOUND STATION is back!
Right before celebration of Sonic's birthday, Sonic Committee revealed another event - SONIC SOUND STATION (not a placeholder name anymore) #2 is happening, with 50 songs randomly played for 28 hours straight until the next Sonic Station LIVE! #5 on June 24th!

If you liked such stream, use the hashtag #ソニックステーションLIVE or #ソニステ to tweet about it on Twitter and we might get more of such streams! That would be very cool, don't you think?

There were guests appearing in the comment section again - this time, Senoue-san appeared twice, the second time with Hoshino-san and Katie from Sonic Team US! There were some interesting questions asked and answered there.
