Sonic celebrates Children's Day in Japan!

News from 2019.05.05
Archived on 2019.05.06

5th of May is Children's Day in Japan!
To wish for healthy growth of children, people build kites and special carp-shaped windsocks called Koi-nobori. They also make kashiwa-mochi and chimaki, rice cooked in bamboo leaves, an originally traditional Chinese food. That's what Sonic is holding. And what he is wearing is kabuto, a traditional Japanese milirary helmet worn by Samurai.

今日は５月５日、こどもの日！

こどもの幸せはもちろん、そのお母さんにも感謝する日なのだそうです。#こどもの日 #端午の節句 pic.twitter.com/9uJ1azgpmv

It looks like it's a Look-back day on Sonic Adventure!

Kanemaru-san and Naka-san talk about their memories on Sonic Adventure's unique TV commercial!

Kanemaru-san recalled the bizzare but fun TV ad which was aired in Japan for promoting Sonic Adventure before its release.

何度観てもシュールな感じがスキ。#ソニックアドベンチャー #Dreamcast https://t.co/1STh5OeIBK

🔵 Kanemaru-san on Sonic Adventure's ad with Sonic Plush:
"I like the surreal way of this commercial every time I watch it."

Sonic really seems to have fun in the CM, and Kanemaru-san's voice acting is perfect for its comedic touch! I can't stop smiling while watching this one.

Then Naka-san found his tweet and responded to it too!

ソニックアドベンチャーのCM懐かしいですね。確かこのCMの撮影場所ってオーストラリアで撮影だったと思うのですが、僕は忙しくて連れて行ってもらえなかったんですよ。飛行機から飛んだソニックは何体か飛んだそうですよ。だれか回収してあげて下さい(^^) https://t.co/mesKEsM6XJ

🔵Naka-san on Kanemaru-san's tweet on SA ad w/ Sonic Plush:
"This commercial for Sonic Adventure is nostalgic. If I recall correctly, they filmed this in Australia - I was too busy so I couldn't go. I heard that many Sonic flew from the airplane. Somebody, please collect them!"↓
— ●SonicJPNews● (@SonicJPNews) May 5, 2019

Oh wow, so they really did throw several Sonic plushies out of the plane, it's no CG at all...! I wonder what kind of adventures those Sonic are having in Australia now...

And Kanemaru-san replied Naka-san's comment!

ソニックを探せツアー in Australia～！

一緒に行きたかったですね、中さん！

"Find Sonic Tour in Australia!
I wish we could go there together, Naka-san!"
- Junichi Kanemaru

That would be another opportunity for cool documentrary!
I really love the Sonic Adventure Production Presentation event they had back then including 'Sonic Adventure Story', a documentary video on Sonic Team travelling to mid-south America for collecting materials for game development. It's really cool!

Here is a video with Japanese and English captions. (I helped out a little with Japanese one.)
Have a look!
