Sonic Heroes Recording Script: Story Summary

This is a translation of the story portion of the Sonic Heroes Japanese recording script. It contains descriptions of what’s going on in each scene, the dialogue for the characters, and the length of each line. The scenes described in the script may differ drastically from what the game scenes show, but as all the dialogue is mostly the same, you can read along to this video:

Sonic Channel Staff Column: Introducing Sonic Channel’s Wallpaper for January ♪ (January 18, 2024)

Hello! I am Hayane Tomoko, a designer at Sonic Team!

Starting this year, I will be introducing wallpaper illustrations around the middle of each month, so please look forward to it!

Let me introduce January’s wallpaper.

This year’s illustrations are in the style of icons and symbols, so it might have been difficult to guess the character by looking at the silhouette.

As for the character that appears in the wallpaper illustration this time…

That’s right! It’s Sonic’s partner and reliable mechanic…

Tails!

New Video: Sonic Free Riders | Complete Story (Japanese, Translated)

Hi and good day. If you happen to be a Windii veteran, you probably remember that I uploaded my translation of this game around this time 2 years ago. Well, just 4-5 months after I posted it, my old YouTube channel got bonked for dumb reasons and no one downloaded a copy of that video, so I made this one from scratch. The timing was great too; as of 2023 you can finally play this game on a computer with a controller thanks to the awesome modding community, so that was a great opportunity to improve the video quality as well. I also thought it would be fitting to make the (inadvertently) last Sonic video on my old channel the last Sonic video of 2023 as a sign of a promising future ahead. This was probably my most productive year, especially after the major setback that was the channel bonking of 2022. There are plenty of things I planned at the start of this year that didn’t pan out due to other obligations and what have you, but I will hopefully spend 2024 on actually bringing them to fruition. This is where most normal people can stop reading this update and start watching the video, but if you’re one of the crazy terminally online nerds, feel free to keep reading beyond this point so you can be exposed to my unhinged ramblings about some of the things I managed to do in 2023.
