Challenge Kanemaru-san! Can you read this kanji?

News from 2019.04.24
Archived on 2019.4.26

A challenge for you: Can you read this kanji?

Kanemaru-san was watching a TV program and saw this kanji on screen.

蝟

Do you know what this character means in Japanese?


The answer is...

Hedgehog!


"Well done to those who could read it as hari-nezumi (hedgehog)!
While watching TV."
- Jinichi Kanemaru


Yes, you can write 'hedgehog' with just one character.
But this is not a commonly used kanji, so it's not a surprise if Japanese people don't know it either.

I couldn't read it, so...


Other more commonly used kanji set for hedgehog is 針鼠, pronounced hari-nezumi, literary 'needle mouse'.
Does that remind you of something? Yes, the code name for Sonic while it was in development, Mr. Needlemouse!

The more you know～☆

Senoue-san's insights to TSR music!

News from 2019.04.23-07.20
Archived on 2019.08.15

As development of Team Sonic Racing started, Jun Senoue-san was appointed as the lead composer of the game by Sonic series director Takashi Iizuka-san. Using his longtime experience as a composer for Sonic series and various racing games, he created new sounds by combining elements of both. And that's not all! This time he added a special topping - the keyword "team" from the game's theme and tagged with many various composers for many of the tracks!

As the music productions were being finished very much ahead of the game release, the US's Sonic the Hedgehog official account released music vides of TSR sounds one by one, and Senoue-san gave us further behind-the-scenes talks and his thoughts on composing music for the game together with many other talented musicians on Twitter!

Here is a summary of Senoue-san's insights, comments and questions to you on the music of Team Sonic Racing!
