Sonic Station LIVE! broadcast 20th every month

News from 2020.02.14

Such an exciting news from SEGA Official!
It's been announced last year that SEGA will pour in more budget in Sonic franchise, and set this 2020 as the Year of Sonic.
On January 20th, they hinted at an event taking place on 20th of each month this year. Now, its detail was revealed!

New SONIC2020 project official livestream "Sonic Station LIVE!" will be brought to you on every 20th of the month by Creative Director Kazuyuki Hoshino-san and Sound Director Jun Senoue-san as the MCs! Stay tuned for the Sonic related information from games to fashion goods!
They also expect messages and questions from you! Send them through the message form and they might be read and answered by the MCs!










The livestream is already being set on YT, so go check it out and turn on notification!

[The broadcast of February will cover Sonic games including the lately released "SEGA AGES Sonic the Hedgehog 2" for Nintendo Switch, and do-not-miss apparel goods of Sonic!]


I guess it's going to be something similar to a radio program. I already sent them a message - will it be read by Senoue-san and Hoshino-san? I'm looking forward to it very much!

Also, it would be cool if other members of Sonic series and voice actors are invited to the livestream  as guests! Who would you want to come?

I wouldn't be able to do a live coverage, but I'll try to summarize contents after each broadcast. Stay tuned!
