Happy New Year!!<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

 
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks for a wonderful 2014 everyone!!<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

This year I will once again be writing up all sorts of blogs about GSC and it’s products here on Kahotan Blog<\/span>, and I hope you’ll all stop by once in awhile to take a read!<\/p>\n

I’m sure that many of you started work or school again as of yesterday… how has the start of 2015 been for you? I still don’t think I’ve eaten enough New Year’s goodies yet!\u00a0Personally I like to eat my mochi with sweet soy sauce or shichimi soy sauce!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’ve decided that the\u00a0first blog of 2015 is going to be some interviews with the GSC Planning Team members!\u00a0<\/span>(\uff40\u30fb\u03c9\u30fb\u00b4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

They will each answer the following three questions!<\/p>\n

1) What was your first dream\u00a0of the New Year?
\n2) What was most memorable about the end of the year?
\n3) What are your aspirations for 2015?<\/p>\n

<\/b>Let’s get started! \u266a<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe man behind all the KanColle and Nintendo Planning, with hobbies ranging from mountain climbing to Nagoya idols! He also stands 186.5cm tall… perhaps the tallest of anyone in the offices!<\/span><\/b> (Translator’s Note: Liez! I’m taller!)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\\ Kyojin \/<\/b><\/span><\/center><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

1) What was your first dream\u00a0of the New Year?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/b>I went to a concert and met someone I never expected to see there. “What! I never knew you were a fan?!”<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

2) What was most memorable about the end of the year?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>Snow on New Year’s day at my parent’s\u00a0place!<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

3) What are your aspirations\u00a0for 2015?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/b>No rest (in moderation), no moaning, always be grateful!
\n<\/span><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

1) What was your first dream of the New Year?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/b>One of my friends was warning me that something was coming in the second half of the year.<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/span><\/span>The problem is… I don’t remember what that something was…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/b>I caught a cold. Spent half my out\u00a0enjoying\u00a0myself and the other half stuck in bed.<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I had a headache most of the time I was out causing more trouble than it was worth… but I went out to watch ‘Big Hero 6’ which made the whole year end worth it!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u00a03) What are your aspirations\u00a0for 2015?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/b>To reach for the unknown!
\n<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s always scary\u00a0to try new things when the old things are still working, but at the same time it’s a great thrill and can be well worth the effort. I want to put some time and effort into that and see what comes out!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
