not sure what to make of this.. hope he's ok, but.... if he isn't, that's a really random way to make folks aware? if we even needed to be aware?

 

[RedAssedApe]

master troll like ono (i hope)

 

[Darmik]

I think it's just odd translation and they're just saying he hasn't been to work all week. Surely if he was missing from home there would be more news than just a tweet. I certainly hope this is the case.

 

[SmithnCo]

Weird... Hope it's just a joke.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Maybe they were making a joke to see if gaming journalism will make it news. Like Kamiya

 

[zroid]

If it wasn't a joke/marketing/whatever wouldn't they have tweeted it out in Japanese?

It sounds like they were addressing his followers who have probably been tweeting him tons of junk in English for the last week with no replies.

 

[Sandfox]

He's probably going to be at E3. If this was real they would have made a bigger deal out of it and it probably would have been on the news.

 

[Anth0ny]

I hope this is a joke.

 

[Soul Beat]

Oh god, I hope he's alright.

Please be safe Harada!

 

[Antiwhippy]

He's been tweeting roughly daily since a week ago though, with his second last tweet being being at 26th may.

 

[jayu26]

I hope this is a joke.

If it is, it's a bad joke. I hope he is okay.

 

[Snakeyes]

Hope he's okay.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I hope it's nothing major

 

[Baby Milo]

hope this a joke

 

[Zurres]

hahaha, i guess that he is in some bar still drinking XD

 

[Village]

i hope the guy is ok

 

[patsu]

wtf is going on with the gaming world ?

Is this a real life Persona 5 game ?

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I hope this isn't serious.

 

[LiK]

Hope he's alright

 

[Orpheus Telos]

I hope everything turns out ok. I dont really see how it could be a joke, there's absolutely nothing funny about it.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

It seems like joke. I'm sure it is. Did anyone ask him to verify?

 

[Immaculate]

Hope he is ok. I need my Tekken man.

You're worried about him making more Tekken games than his well-being and safety?

come on man.

 

[Ouren]

i dont fucking like this one fucking bit. stay safe, folks!

 

[androvsky]

If he's supposed to be at the office, and support is looking for him... why is there only a tweet in English? I'm assuming the tweet's coming from the Japanese office given the time of day.

 

[entremet]

I think it's a joke. It would've been in Japanese if not.

 

[Rhapsody]

Hopefully this was a joke and that it was lost in translation when they wrote it. : /

 

[gundamkyoukai]

hope he is okay .

 

[Marmaladefire]

I hope he's ok. I mostly hope it's a bit. It'd be a shitty one, but he would be safe

This seems pretty real...

Hope he's alright...

 

[ShinobiFist]

Damn, I'm getting Nujabes vibe out of this Want to be wrong. And also, this better not be a sick joke.

Hope he's alright...

Alright now I'm getting a little worried

 

[Hattori]

He's probably tired/stressed and taking time off, if this was real they wouldn't make it public and would contact the police instead of tweeting about it in English

 

[Zukuu]

This seems pretty real...

Hope he's alright...

Wow, seems he got really angry then.

 

[zroid]

oh boy...

 

[Blablurn]

Doesn't sound too promising : / I hope he comes back soon!

uh oh

 

[The Grim Heaper]

This isn't good. What awesome game designer am I going to sing Idolm@ster songs with now?

Be safe, Harada! At least contact someone!

Hope he's alright...

holy shit.

Has to be something really bad then...maybe decision to have all future Tekken projects on hold?

 

[the androgyne]

Last minute Smash Bros. 4 work at Nintendo for surprise E3 launch!

 

[-Eddman-]

I hope everything is all right. He seems to be a nice person and I really want to see his version of Tekken vs Street Fighter.

I wonder who he was yelling at.

(...Sakurai?)

At least it means he should be safe, right? Whatever happens or did happen, that's about as much as I can ask for.

 

[ShinobiFist]

Yeah, liked I replied on that tweet. He is most likely laying low. Hopefully, that would be the case.

 

[DEATH™]

Just for all the Tekken community and others...

Please shut up and stop complaining about the game... whatever your complaint was on the near-perfect fighting game full of fulfilled requests.... Namco is listening and we're making the man's life miserable...

 

[Off-Kilter]

Good lord I hope he's ok

 

[xJavonta]

The tweet made it seem like he's just tired and stressed and decided to take a break for a while. I go through periods where I just cut off communication from everyone for a while to relax. Hopefully this is one of those times.

 

[Terra]

One week is a pretty long time to be AWOL. I really hope he's alright, and that this is just a temporary break.

 

[Ragingnight]

Just for all the Tekken community and others...

seriously?

 

[phosphor112]

I'm hoping this is something E3 related... because otherwise it's REALLY bad

Would be a shitty PR joke. I wouldn't buy anything they touch if it was. Fuck that.

Hopefully he's ok though.
