That sounds like a great idea! I will keep my eyes peeled for ticket information

So we made it to Yokosuka and Dobuita today. Here are some pictures! I'm sure b_ren will have more to show!

Will give you a holla when over for the KS dinner. Could be a good meetup with the list of names there! :D That sounds great! I would love that.



Damn, Tokyo for a year? Isn't that like the most expensive city in the world (or close to it)? :shock: Yeah it is fairly expensive but I am working here so everything is affordable. I work for an English conversation school and I sometimes talk about how I want to visit Dobuita. They mostly laugh and wonder why I would want to visit that place!

I was visiting The Tokyo Museum in Ueno today and I noticed something very familiar...

As you may know I am currently living and working in Tokyo. A couple of months ago Ziming sent me a private message telling me there was a special Sega event coming up in Tokyo celebrating Sega music from all consoles. Luckily for us Shenmue was included. I am not sure how strict the rules are with cameras but I tried my best to get a good recording for you guys without getting thrown out.

It was absolutely amazing to hear the music played to perfection. After the song was played there was talk of Shenmue 3 but I don't know what was said as I can't understand Japanese but I will give the footage to Ziming at some point.

I've linked the website so that you can see all the songs that were played and also all Sega composers and musicians who were there.

Hope you enjoy and sorry for the odd positioning and scuffling noises I was trying to be stealthy!

I will be attending TGS 2016 tomorrow and will be looking for anything shenmue related. Will keep you updated if I see anything interesting

Tokyo game show 2016 was a great experience!

I noticed that this years event was strongly focused on VR and mobile gaming. I checked out all the Sega related stuff which was mostly yakuza based things. The merchandise stand only had badges and marsh mellows like stated earlier in the post. The only way to get badges was from the capsule machines and unfortunately it wasn't my day as you can see from my pictures! Overall great experience it looks like next year will be the year for shenmue.... Maybe

Holy shit snoop you went too?! Peter, Adam Sipione and I went on Sunday. What day did you go? Sorry you didnt get the badge. Was super hard to get. All of us got it with varying hit rates.. I was lucky enough to get it on the first try..

Haha yeah I was there on Saturday tried to get the badge but at 200 yen a try and I couldn't afford too many attempts! I didn't realise you were in Tokyo how long are you here for? Hit me up if you want to hang out I'm free on Wednesday.
Tough break.
I'm already back home down south in Fukuoka.
Peter will be there until tomorrow I think though so you should contact him.

Ahh man I wish I knew you were around! Well if you are ever in Tokyo before the end of January let's hang out! Yeah I got in touch with Peter but unfortunately I think he has been too busy with TGS and interviews to meet up which is understandable.

Always absolutely amazing to know that after all these years new things are found. Looking forward to discussing other things you have found when I return to Tokyo! Hope you are well Switch!

As some members will know I've been around since almost the beginning of the dojo. I was searching for some old fan art I made at most likely the age of 12 (28 now)

This beautiful piece has not been credited and renamed retarded Ryo and Ren. I demand justice for this piece of history. :rotflmao:

Yeah just received an email from Yu Suzuki asking me to be a concept artist for future Shenmue titles!

Recording

Will the movie be available on YouTube at any point?

Thanks for the work by the way!

Well if me, B_Ren and co don't get to see any Shenmue III stuff at least we will get to see some Shenmue fans and have a few beers!

Awesome meeting everyone at Gamescom17 Had a great time!

As a day one fan.. This has been a crazy couple of years.. From visiting Dobuita to meeting Yu and fellow fans at gamescom and now seeing 3 Shenmue titles in production..

Better prepare my wallet!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Been here since the very old days.

Looking forward to seeing the new Shenmue Dojo.

See you all on the other side!
