177 < EP. 42: Gala Show (1) >

Early summer 1995.

Cheryl's second character, Virtual Idol, ‘Beating Heart’ was hugely popular with Erica's supporters.

Although they were not on the Oregon chart because they were not an official album, their songs performed enormous rippling power compared to music in the top 10 volumes.

J-record, a well-known Japanese record label, has been making requests to the Pentagon for official album distribution. The explanation was good enough not to mention it.

Of course, I didn't intend to create an album, but I think I need to be a little more careful when regular albums are released.

Several composers have helped us enter Virtual Idol, including HaranQ's terrada and renowned composer Kanno Yorko. At the very moment, there were a lot of songs accumulating in Idol's database.

Me and Mr. Ueno. He also matched the appropriate songs through individual interviews with those who had passed the audition, and they were currently trying to publish their songs in the practice room prepared by the Pentagon.

And I'm also their successful debut.) I was having a busy day in the East and West for the stage.

Complex Raon, a new Pentagon model with powerful performance under the name 'full enjoyment’, was poured out to users at the same time as a formal announcement at the last seminar.

The heavy black color, contrasted with the portable Laon, was brushed and showed a luxurious appearance.

Users were only clicking on the needle all day long, looking at the complete raon on the Pentagon shop's interior glass tube.

“Oh, I really want it. ”

“Still three months till launch, I feel like my blood is drying up...”

“Who says it's not? I have a gear station at home, and the 'Full Metal Gear Solid' won't leave my head...”

Two men who appeared to be high school students have not left Complex Raon's presence for 30 minutes.

"He's going to be embarrassed..."

As I stopped by the Pentagon store to cool off, I laughed at Miyazaki for a cup of tea.

Is there anything as breathtaking as the appearance of a new console for gamers?

I was also a moment when I understood their minds as a gamer before I was a developer.

“Apart from them, we have visitors almost every day. You asked the staff if they would sell you a copy of the exhibition. ”

“Exhibitor replicas...? ”

What the hell are you gonna do with that? It's just plastic shells anyway.

I shook my head, holding my tongue to the unfathomable expectations of the users.

Next to both sides of the exhibiting Complete Raon, Fox Soft's "Full Metal Gear Solids" and "Virtual Idol" videos were playing repeatedly at the last seminar.

The two students watched the promotional video and talked about it, and then hid themselves from the store.

&

After releasing information at the seminar. It was good to raise expectations for new consoles, but the more they did, the more they couldn't ignore the other companies.

Previous generations, we dug a niche market called a portable gaming machine and hit it hard, but this was a frontal battle.

Moreover, Sensoni and NEGA have been pouring enormous amounts of marketing into engaging new users to capture the market now without mintendo.

Specifically, the NEGA reduced Saturn's price from $399 in North America to $299 in gear stations.

The dual CPU also saw a big deficit of $399, and the NEGA threw a divine move to catch Sensoni.

Even in Suzuki's case, he was able to adapt to Saturn's perverted development tools, and the real Fighter 2 was launched in a quality that was not too great compared to the arcade edition.

In response, Iron Fist 2, now called the Dual Mountains of the 3D Fighting Games, is also relentless. Of course, the Iron Fist 2, which was implanted into a gear station, was praised for its' transcendental 'by adding a variety of modes that could be enjoyed only with home consoles, although it was somewhat more rigid than RealFighter's colorful graphics.

Level-level ending videos prepared for each character brought a different level of story immersion to the arcade plate. (It would have been a bizarre scenario for a father to climb off a cliff and throw his son into a burning volcano… but it wouldn't have been easy to get that many characters' endCGs in one CD…)

Then the real Fighter 2 with one Swing VS mode on the same vain end as the arcade was once again comparable to the Iron Fist, even though it was a great graft.

Unlike Minten, Sensoni was not aware of his new console business.

With huge capital, we have been relentlessly trying to catch the current market with no mint in any way.

Sensoni's marketing, which gives a thrilling counter every time an enemy comes in and out of the guard carefully, was frustrating even for our peers. From the point of view of the National Assembly, how desperate could this situation be?

However, even such a sensony seemed to be quite resistant to the complete raon being released from the Pentagon.

“Yes, it is. As I understand it, Sensoni has requested the implantation of the Full Metal Gear Solid through the top of our Fox Soft. ”

Sensoni approached Fox Soft in order to multiply the 3D undercover action games that are currently gaining the most attention.

In Foxsoft, Sensoni's proposal must have been very sweet, as he had already placed a million generations ahead of him through North America and Japan.

But it was also overlooked by Sensoni, and Hojima's "full metal gear" was one of the results of a massive amount of Pentagon capital. In other words, more than half of full metal gear solids are owned by our Pentagon.

Two months after that, in mid-July.

A month ahead of the launch of Complete Raon, the Pentagon held a small concert for its users.

It was a Gala concert of 'Gift of God’, which had been annihilated in the previous Kobe earthquake.

&

The tickets to the concert were drawn through magazines, as expected, sparking the user's enormous interest.

Some people bought five magazines to apply for a concert that had one ticket. Due to last month's magazine sale, Jun Fei was working late without a date with Misato for several days.

“How many goddamn applications are there...”

“I asked the other magazines, but they're not that far. As expected, Pammy Communications seems to be popular with gamers.”

“Wouldn't it be more likely to go to another magazine than the competition? ”

“But you gave Pammy 150 tickets. ”

“How many times have I told you that selling a lot of magazines doesn't bring in more of my salary? ”

“I don't know, but I've got to go. I'm busy getting ready for the show. You're coming to the concert with Misato, right? ”

“It's a long way, but I have to cover the story. Well done, anyway.”

“Okay, got it. See you then."

After finishing the call with Jun Fei, I turned my head to the stage.

“Hey!! It doesn't balance with the center of the left-hand stage. Pull it up a little more!! ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

In July, when the air was humid and hot...

For the workers working without air conditioning, I and the Pentagon staff worked hard.

“Here's your lunch box!! Come down and eat!! ”

Back in the fall, Kaori's voice, which shocked the company with Hayashi's wedding announcement, echoed in the auditorium, and the people who were working nodded their heads off the stage.

Three days until the concert. The workers who received the lunchbox, sweating with the towel wrapped around their necks, sat down in the hall and swallowed cold water.

“Puha! I feel like I can live now. Bring me some more bottled water!! ”

A worker who took about a liter of water in a heartbeat shakes an empty petting bottle, and Kaori smiles and brings him another jar of cold water.

“Here you go. If you drink cold water quickly when it's this hot, you can act like it, so drink slowly. ”

“Ouch. You're killing me. Welcome?”

“Oh, boy. Wouldn't you know it if you listened? He's from Tokyo. ”

“Haha. That's right. I'm from Tokyo.”

The cute little Kaori was popular with the workers because of her unique attachment personality. Kaori, who gave him the bottle of pett, ran to me after talking with him a few more words.

“Well done. ”

“Thank you, Director. ”

Kaori, who had received his lunch box, sat down next to me and opened the lid of the lunch box.

“Isn't it hot? You've come a long way. ”

“It's okay. I didn't do anything. Recovery is much faster than that. I think I remember yesterday being a complete ruin...”

It's not hard to say what Kaori said.

I never thought I'd be able to recover in four months.

This was the auditorium where residents used to base camp when the Kobe earthquake occurred in February.

The Japanese government, which used the Kobe earthquake as an opportunity to regain the game, put all of Japan's construction into the recovery work. The earthquake debris was eliminated at an incredible rate, and a temporary residence of damaged residents is now located around the school.

The building itself was a rent-level apartment type environment, but it seemed that Japanese people who were using a narrow house did not feel much discomfort.

“I wish Hayashi had come with me...”

“Well, it's him, because he deserves the development room more than here. If the wedding isn't coming up soon, we're still developing a game. ”

Kaori's words reminded me of what Yuki said before the marriage, and his rice balls got stuck in his throat.

I was so busy with Dragon Emblem 2 before I married Yuki...

“Oh, what's the matter? Director?”

I swallowed the water while smiling like a cat and avoiding Kaori's eyes looking at me.

That's when the Pentagon staff in the auditorium found Kaori.

“Hey, Kaori. I'm sorry about dinner. Can you come here for a second? ”

“Yes!! So, Director, I need you to take care of my lunch. I'll be right back.”

“Uh... yeah. ”

As I looked behind Kaori running towards the employee, I turned my head to the setting. On a stage where a giant projector screen is tightened...

Three days from now. Their first stage was approaching with the Gala concert of God's gift.
