Hello and welcome to this very special Shenmue Dojo Show! Since we have just published an exclusive, huge face to face Shenmue interview with the man himself, Yu Suzuki - https://shenmuedojo.com/yu-suzuki-shenmue-interview-may-2024/, we decided it would be fitting to discuss what this day was actually like, the questions asked and the answers given, and what happened after the interview! This interview was conducted by Shenmue Dojo co-owner James Brown (SkillJim), and also Switch from PhantomRiverStone.com. Joel Tess provided interpretation of both the questions and answers for Yu Suzuki. Many thanks to both of them for the incredible hospitality and allowing us the time to get through almost all of our questions. We hope that you enjoy this deep dive and discussion.
