Risa Unouchi's comment on becoming an official supporter
PR TIMESI'm really honored to be an official supporter of the Tokyo Game Show, as I visit the show every year. When I first heard about this opportunity, I was so happy that I almost broke the eardrums of the people around me. This is the best present this year for me. I would like to visit every corner of the venue to find out what new games will be created, and I would like to try out the various games at the areas where we can play them and convey the fun of them to as many people as I can.
In addition, for the first time at TGS2023, we invited official influencers from Asia-Pacific countries and regions to help us disseminate information not only within Japan but also to the rest of the world.
