Celebrating Sonic's 27th Anniversary at Tokyo Joypolis

Its Sonic The Hedgehog's 27th Anniversary and what better way to celebrate than being in Sonic's home country of Japan! My second year attending the annual Sonic event in Joypolis, Odiaba Tokyo Japan. As the day fell on a Saturday this year the event was a LOT more busier. There was queues in the morning taking several hours just to get into the event but it was very much worth it. Many exclusive to the day Sonic merchandise was available and head of Sonic Team himself Takashi Iizuka himself was there to promote Sonic Mania plus and Sonic Team Racing, revealing 3 new playable characters, Amy Rose, Chao and Big the Cat. There was many Sonic fans at this event, more than I've ever seen before at a Japanese event which was great to see, seeing as Sonic isn't as popular as other franchises here in Japan. This video is a little different to the one I did last year which was pretty much a full tour of the event, this time I showcase all the new merch, the stage event and what's new from last year (of which there is quite a lot) Sit back and enjoy and Happy 27th Anniversary Sonic The Hedgehog!
