In the January 3rd issue of Famitsu magazine that was published on December 20th features multiple pages of comments from game creators, developers, and many more in the industry. Here, I’ve just picked out the comments by Yoko Taro and Matsuyama Hiroshi to translate. Enjoy!
I posted the final version of my report on the dress rehearsal performance of the Thou Shalt Not Die Zero -KAI- stage play early this morning. You can expect to find a ton of amazing photos that a friend of mine agreed to do for me (he became my first-ever employee!) plus a deeper insight into the play itself and exactly what’s different from the original.
There are still a lot more I want to discuss in my editorial, including a nice interview with Matsukawa Takanori.
In the meantime, please check out the full report here!:
With the approach of the updated version of the KimiShini Zero Stage play, this is a new poster teaser featuring the main four characters. From the top right going clockwise: Botan, Sakura, Hakuji, and Usuki.
I’m planning on covering the dress rehearsal for this play as well, so please look forward to that!
