I have a long-held belief: no matter whether you’re young or old, good or bad at the game, male or female — as long as you’re playing the same game as I am, you’re just another person putting in the same 100 yen and sitting at the same arcade machine. There’s no “pro” or “casual” there. I simply feel happy when more people drop a coin and enjoy the game I love — because that’s what keeps the game I cherish alive for a long time.
