I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jessica Nigri for promoting Lollipop Chainsaw. Not only in North America, but in Japan as well, she did her best to promote the game. But that's not all. She is also an amazing cosplayer who helped promote "Killer is Dead".…

Lollipop Chainsaw will always be like family to me, and I brought it back to life as a modern action game called RePOP. I’m not working on the recently announced sequel, but I’ll be watching over it together with the Lollipop Chainsaw fans.…
This isn’t a lie. I reached out to Suda-san in May 2018 and again in July 2020 after I set the direction for RePOP. He declined both times due to his own projects. In addition, I learned that the producers and directors who once worked with me had already gone independent.…
Bro, you didn't even brother reaching out to Suda51 or James Gunn, they knew about the remaster at the same time as us, what are u baffling about 💀💀
The partner for Dragami Games’ new Lollipop Chainsaw project has been announced, and I've received a wave of messages from fans and media alike. Over the years, many fans have told me they hoped the original dev team would make the sequel. So I understand that some fans may…
Many old friends from the original Warner Bros. team supported me again during RePOP’s development. At the time, everything from rating approval to localization into non-Japanese languages, voice recording, and music licensing was handled in the U.S., and I couldn’t reach all the…

かつて世界のゲーム市場で半分のシェアを握っていた日本のゲームは2000年以降、急速に存在感を失い、「ガラパゴス」と揶揄されてきました。復活の秘訣はどこにあるのか。日本興業銀行からゲーム会社社長に転身し、6月末に経営の第一線を退いた安田善巳氏に聞きました。 toyokeizai.net/articles/-/887…

I learned so much from working with Warner Bros. on Lollipop Chainsaw especially when it came to publishing. One of the most memorable parts was the QA approval process. Beating “the final boss” Mario, the head of QA, was both challenging and eye-opening. When the feedback came…

I’m truly pleased that the official release date for the European physical edition of RePOP has been announced. Over the past three years, I’ve learned just how highly many Western gamers value having game data stored directly on a physical edition. This is particularly important…

Thank you so much for all the birthday messages celebrating Lollipop's 13th anniversary! RePOP devs has been making games with strong female leads since KADOKAWA GAMES days, so you can definitely look forward to a steady stream of stylish and exciting outfits. Look forward to…

I have been committed to faithfully recreating RePOP without censorship. This was not just about meeting player expectations, but also about reflecting our creative vision as the original development team. From the very beginning, we aimed to create an action game centered…

The best moment of the RePOP Project for me was getting an M rating from the ESRB. We’d been feeling our way through the approval process, unsure of how things would play out, so that confirmation came as a huge relief. Once it looked like we might be able to release an…

Even if I imagine the original team reuniting to make the sequel, it still seems impossible. The younger members from back then have all grown into project leaders now, and just discussing ideas would likely turn into large debates and nothing more. It’s only because a group of…

You guys are excited for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP! Just to confirm; The release will be Ver.1.12. This is the most recent version. 🍭🔥
