Teppei Arita and Hiroya Yamazaki were appointed as Chief Wicolle Officers!
The two men, who are good friends in their private lives, took the stage at the event together. They have known each other for many years and talk about Wicolle all the time when they are together as "Wicolle friends" rather than senior and junior comedians.
Mr. Yamazaki is a Wicolle user who has won the world championship held once every three months in the game, and his partner Mr. Shibata is also aware of him.
My Shibata-san (partner) knows that I became the world's number one, and he laughed when I won the world's number one. "First in the world! He laughed like a gibbering idiot."
Mr. Arita also commented on this.
Arita: He was happier when he won first place in the world in Wicolle than when he won M-1.
Mr. Yamazaki: Winning the M-1 is a great joy, but winning the Wicolle by myself was like winning the R-1 Grand Prix for me. Winning by myself was like winning the R-1 Grand Prix for me. It was like winning the M-1 Grand Prix!
Now that Mr. Arita is the Chief Wicolle Officer, he can openly promote the fact that he plays the game," said Mr. Arita! He has not been very public about Wicolle until now. She also said that she plays Wicolle to take a break from raising her children.
Arita: There are stressful moments when we are raising our children, but I keep Wicolle in one hand all the time. I hold my child's hand with my right hand while playing Wigol with the other.
Ms. Yamazaki: I'm raising both of them. I want people to understand that.
Ms. Arita: Uicol is the eldest. My daughter is the only one. I tell her to call him "big brother.
What is the "love for Wicolle" that they talked about because they love it so much?
Next, the two of them shared their opinions about their "love for Wicolle. They said that Wicolle is appealing because it is easy to operate and you can start playing for free after starting the game.
Arita-san revealed that she is passionate about Wicolle, saying that she spends " all my time except for recording. Mr. Yamazaki said that he thinks about Wicolle even in his dreams.
Arita: It's a game that you can press a button and leave it on all the time, even during work meetings and other small meetings. It's not that we are not listening. Our brains are already made for that kind of thing, so it's a game that allows us to do double tasks. It's almost like a double task, and because it's so easy to do, we push the button even more. That's why I press and hold the button next to me before I go to bed.
Mr. Yamazaki: In my dreams, I am playing the Wicolle gacha. If I want a player so badly that I can't get him, I get him in my dream. When I wake up, I sometimes feel depressed and think, "It was a dream after all. I think my love for Wicolle has even influenced my dreams.
Arita: Yamazaki-san was a little bit sick and had to take time off from work. When I called him to express my sympathy, he said, "No, Mr. Arita, thanks to you, I can do Wicolle for 24 hours. I can do Wicol for 24 hours thanks to you." (laugh)
Ms. Yamazaki: I knew that was the best prescription to beat the disease. Wicolle is the best prescription for me.
The two of them love Wicolle so much that it has become a part of their lives and a motivation for them to do something about it.
What is "Wicolle's ambition" as he talks about his future goal?
Next, he talked about the ambitions of UICOLE, his future goals after being selected as the Chief UICOLE Officer of UICOLE.
Mr. Arita.
I think of myself as a representative of the players, so when I am working on Wicolle, I am always thinking, "It would be great if this part of the game were better like this," or " It would be great if there were more developments like this. I always think, "It would be great if this could be done better," or "It would be great if this could be done better," when I am working as a wicollete. As you can see from the people who play Wicol, we have signed contracts with some of the biggest clubs in the world. The actual names and the forms are almost all great, but there are still a few things that are missing. I want to sign that player.
Mr. Yamazaki
I want to play Uicol at the National Stadium. The National Stadium is the place where soccer games are held, big games. We would like to gather all the people who love UICOLE there and have a qualifying round called the "tournament" before that, and then have a top-of-the-table competition, or maybe a semi-final or quarterfinal round. Instead of watching the Wicolle video on this (tablet) screen, it could be projected on the field, as if the players were moving. Konami can do it. I want to put on VR and make it look as if the world's great players are moving on the soccer field.
Each of them talked about their own ambitions for Wicolle, and the audience had high expectations for the game.
