Dragon Quest of the Stars", a new commercial starring Goro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Shingo Katori, went on air today, January 1!

SQUARE ENIX announced that the new TV commercial "Goro Inagaki's Confession" (15 and 30 seconds) for "Dragon Quest of the Stars" (hereinafter "Hoshidora"), a title for smartphones that has been downloaded more than 19 million times, will air sequentially nationwide starting today, January 1, 2019 (Tuesday).

The new TVCM announces the appointment of Goro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Shingo Katori as "HOSHIDRA" producers, who are closely associated with the Dragon Quest series through their appearances in TVCMs for Dragon Quest VII Eden Warriors, a game released in 2000, and other numbered titles in the series. Inagaki, who is somewhat awkward while interacting with the characters in a studio that recreates the Dragon Quest world, comes out that he has never played Dragon Quest, and delivers a shocking and unique storyline that shocks Kusanagi and Katori with his high-tempo talk. The content of the program will be presented along with a high-tempo talk show.

The special site also features a rare "Inauguration of Producer" interview with Yuji Horii, the creator of Dragon Quest, and Ryutaro Ichimura, who is currently the producer of "Dragon Quest of the Stars" and will be working with Inagaki, Kusanagi, and Katori in the future. The "Commemorative Interview with the Producer" is also available for viewing!

In addition, a 30-second commercial of Goro Inagaki's confession and a web-only 45-second video are also available!
The audience is stunned by Inagaki's words and actions...

Commemorative interview to commemorate the inauguration of the producer
Three members of "New Map" (Goro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Shingo Katori) talk with Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii and senior producer Ryutaro Ichimura about their former collaboration, filming secrets, and future aspirations in a special video!


Three members of "New Map" (Goro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Shingo Katori) were appointed as producers.

Ichimura: In a new venture, we have decided to welcome you all as producers of "Dragon Quest of the Stars".

The "Dracula generation" was thrilled to meet Mr. Horii. What about you, Inagaki-san?
Katori: If I include the time since you were a child when you were actually allowed to play the game, that would be 32 years, right?
Horii: That's right. That's a long time.
Kusanagi: That means we have known "Dracula" for a long time.
Ichimura: That's right. Since birth.
Kusanagi: I have known it since the beginning. We are exactly the same in terms of generation.
Ichimura: I was born in 1976, but I got hooked on "Dracula" when I was in elementary school. I was fortunate to be able to work with Mr. Horii.
Katori: That's right. I was shocked when I met Mr. Horii for the first time.
Katori: I thought Goro didn't experience that shock at that time.
Inagaki: No, no, no, no.
Ichimura: Yes, yes, yes.
Inagaki: Maybe there are people (like me) who have never done it before, so I'm going to study alongside them.

The common language between father and son is that spell from "Dracula"?
Ichimura: Katori-san, do you have any memories?
Katori: I still remember spells such as "Beguilama" and "Hoimi," which I mentioned in the commercial. It is amazing to think that even after more than 30 years, children today are still doing the same spells that I used to do when I was in elementary school.
Ichimura: "Dracula" has become a common word.
Kusanagi: That's right. Children and parents of all generations can do it together. It's like having your own child play "Dracula.
Ichimura: There are many parents and children who play "Dracula" together.
Mr. Kusanagi would like to be a traveling entertainer. Mr. Katori, who wants to be a painter, defeats his enemies with his paintings!
Ichimura: Is there any occupation you would like to do, or any type of occupation you like?
Kusanagi: I would be a traveling entertainer. Making people laugh.
Ichimura: I'm a comedian. There are superstars above that. I'm more of the entertainer type.
Kusanagi: I would like to work in a profession where my sense of adventure is not limited to one place.
Katori: I draw pictures, so I could be a painter.
Ichimura: A painter. We have to create one. Shall we add a new one?
Inagaki: That's interesting.
Horii: Like drawing pictures and damaging the enemy?
Ichimura: Draw a picture with a bang. Shall we do it? Horii-san, shall we make it? Shall we think about it?
Horii: Yes, let's think about it. Let's think about it.
Inagaki: I'm currently playing the role of a musician on stage. A person who makes music.
Ichimura: A composer.
Inagaki: A slightly different theme.
Ichimura: That's good.
Inagaki: I wonder if it would be interesting if it were optional. I wonder if that's not allowed. I wonder. Sound is very important, isn't it, games?
Horii: Yes, it is. It really is.
Ichimura: It is very important. Dracula" is also famous for its music. But it also brings out the characters, doesn't it?

My enthusiasm as a producer
Ichimura: Lastly, please give us your enthusiasm as a producer.
Kusanagi: Inagaki-kun, you are also going to start this project, so I would like to ask you all for your cooperation!
Inagaki: Even if you are not sure if you can suddenly enter the world of "Dracula," let's start "Dracula" together with me and have fun.
Katori: If you are watching this right now, you can start right there and then in an instant, so please start now. And I will change everything so that there will be no more "Dracula" at all until now! I will change everything!
Everyone: (laughs)
Ichimura: Let's work together from now on and make Hoshidora exciting for everyone!

The content of the interview is an excerpt from the conversation to commemorate the appointment of the producer.
