Hello and welcome to Hill Top Terebi. In this special ‘on location’ video I travelled all the way from the UK to Tokyo, Japan in search of all things Sonic the Hedgehog and SEGA.
Tokyo is a city that I used to call home. When I lived out there, despite the rumours that Sonic doesn’t have much of a presence in Japan, I always found plenty of Sonic events to attend, and plenty of Japan exclusive Sonic and SEGA merch to buy.
But maybe times have changed? In the five years since I left, the SEGA arcades have been sold off, it’s been since months since the last Sonic game (Sonic Frontiers) released, and lingering restrictions mean that they are not many public events running at the moment.
Would I find much in the way of Sonic in Japan in 2023? Hit the play button, and let’s find out!
As always if you enjoy the video please hit that ‘like’ button as it helps me out a lot, leave a comment, share the video out there and subscribe (if you haven’t already) for high quality, evergreen Sonic and SEGA videos covering the past, the present and the future!
Thank you for watching!
