I am truly delighted to be able to hold such an exhibition at the milestone of Sonic's 35th anniversary.
The content is designed to let long-time fans who have supported us for years, as well as those who have recently discovered Sonic, fully experience its history.
We are also exhibiting wonderful artworks created with the cooperation of many people and those who have supported Sonic over the years, so we would be thrilled if you could stop by when you are in the area.
