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!
🔵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!"↓
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!
— 金丸淳一VoiceActor&Vocalist Kanemaru Jun-ichi (@junichisonic) May 5, 2019
"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!

SEGA posted new #SonicTravels photo!
It's Midori-no-Ho (Green Day) today in Japan, and Sonic visited many different places with green.
Can you guess where these places are? What is this huge tree?
A couple of days passed from the 'Sonic the Movie trailer impact' - after seeing the first trailer featuring a blue furry creature we are totally not familiar with, most of the fans were mad or at least skeptical about the design of Sonic. Even the people who are involved in development of original Sonic series, and moreover the creators of Sonic himself - Ohshima-san the artist and Naka-san the game programmer - were confused and worried about the drastic change of their beloved son.
My energy was drained over these two days and I even had nightmare because of the design. It was already decided that I was to mourn over what they have done to Sonic forever. And I still will.
Yet, to our surprise: a Twitter account, which seems to belong the movie's director Jeff Fowler, posted following words:
Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear... you aren't happy with the design & you want changes. It's going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be... #sonicmovie#gottafixfast 🔧✌️
