Hello Mr. Wada, first of all thank you for all of the wonderful works that you have had a hand in creating. Also, thank you for taking the time to do this AMA. I have three questions that I would like to ask.

Over the past few years publishers have had a risk-adverse approach to funding game projects. The most interesting commercial games these days are either sequels or ishoku games. However, for much of your career it seems that you have focused on developing original and interesting titles. What is your personal approach to creating games and what type of unique experience do you hope that Birthdays The Beginning will offer the user?

I would also like to know if you feel that the role of producer has changed since your career began, and if so in what way?

The catch copy for Toybox Inc. mentions "Love, Peace and the Earth". I think that "love" is very important to game design. Could you please elaborate on the significance of this motto and in particular how the concept of love relates to the work that you do at Toybox Inc.

Thank you very much for your response.

I think that "middle ground" developers such as Toybox Inc. have the courage to introduce new and interesting game concepts that the larger companies lack. これからも頑張ってください!

I understand the meaning of "Love, Peace and the Earth" better now, thank you.
