A reunion of former members of Sonic Team in Tokyo!
According to Naka-san, one of the 7 members who created the first Sonic the Hedgehog game, sound creator Hiroshi Kubota-san (credited as JIMITA), is now a jazz pianist. 5 of the initial members could gather for a reunion after 28 years, listening to his band's performance and having dinner together.

Naka-san and Ohshima-san posted their pictures from the jazz concert and dinner afterwards. It's heartwarming to see them meet up after decades!
