Thank you very much for your continued support of Sonic Official SNS. In appreciation of our fans, we are pleased to announce the ‘Sonic Official Fan Meeting Tour 2023-2024’!

Building upon the success of last year’s ‘Sonic Official Twitter 1st Meetup,’ this event is getting even bigger! While the previous event was held at a single venue in Tokyo, this time we are expanding to four locations across Japan and also hosting events in the Asian region, making it a total of six venues!

During the event, we have planned activities that will allow fans to interact with each other, as well as discussions with our official SNS staff and development team members. Through this Fan Meeting Tour, we hope to facilitate interactions among fans, both with our staff and among fans themselves from Japan and Asia, and continue to elevate the Sonic and Sonic fan community. We encourage you to join us enthusiastically!

From all of us on the Sonic Official SNS staff.
