@PinkHorror9 ありました。検討もされたと聞いています。問題は他の小説に比べて、膨大な製作費が予想されることでした。 もう一桁上の、ものすごい部数が出たらgoサインが出たかもしれませんが、それは難しかったです

@ayanakajima3 やっぱり… 神々の血脈も女神転生のように映像化されていたらと思うと。 せめて小説の第一巻がOVA化されていれば、メディアミックスとまでは申しませんが、のちのUNも完結できたのでは、と思ってしまいます。

懐かしい！当時はホラーや伝奇小説が流行っていて小説家が如何に日常を破壊出来るかを競っていたように思えます。当時の角川書店の勢いは凄くてスニーカー文庫など新しいことに挑戦する素晴らしい時代でした。 twitter.com/ayanakajima3/s…

A senior in my college was close to Mr. Garriott, the creator of the Ultima series. Through this connection, my senior said to me: play Ultima IV and if you are inspired, write a novel about it. I did, and it was a wonderful, great game. So I wrote these three books. pic.twitter.com/xgJSreTQar

@8CXOv5wGQLZeVWN そうでしたね。何かが壊れ、何かが生まれようとしていたように感じられました。。

@makomako713 池田さんと経営陣の間にあったお話は、池田さんご本人からはやわらかい言い方で聞いていました。 「あなたは、責任をとれますか？」といわれたことも。 その、閾値を越えるくらいのメガヒットにはできませんでした、という意味です。

@makomako713 小林さんは、そういう立場だったのだと思います。僕はその時期、徳間の人と思われていたように思います。実際そう言われたことがありますし。

I wrote this book in a setting where the world of Ultima and present-day Tokyo are connected. In the second book, it took me a month to draw six pages of a sailing ship. The illustrations are so beautiful and powerful that Jun Suemi, the illustrator. Thanks to my senior. pic.twitter.com/V3Io9QYhHI

There is a band in the first volume of the novel Ultima. I wrote it with the image of a guitar called Les Paul, but my editor disagreed and I pulled up the manuscript after an argument. Kadokawa Shoten published the manuscript. pic.twitter.com/Dcdw3e5nk6

西谷先生の先輩とロードブリティッシュが仲が良かったんだ！😲 学生時代に読んだ時、なぜウルティマの小説を書かれたんだろうって不思議に思っていたんですが、こういう経緯があったんですね！！ twitter.com/ayanakajima3/s…

@GVENTEVE0 そういえば、書いたことがなかったかもしれません。 外国語で書くと、正確に書こうとするから思いがけないことがわかったりしますね。

Yesterday, I paid a visit to Tsukiyomi Shrine in Ise. This place is dedicated to the three deities Tsukiyomi, Izanagi, Izanami, and Tsukiyomi's Aramitama (spirits with power). pic.twitter.com/CzszA7PNKc

Some Japanese readers have visited the shrine because of Narukawa who is excellent police officer and the reincarnation of Tsukiyomi in the Digital Devil Story 2. Tsukiyomi is the son of Izanagi and Izanami pic.twitter.com/ISA3rjTCfa

By the way, do you know what '女神転生' means? It means the reincarnation of a goddess, whose name is Izanami. In Japanese mythology, our country is created by a couple of gods, Izanami and Izanagi. The wife, Izanami, dies in childbirth. pic.twitter.com/SHkQgGnDAC

Her husband Izanagi goes to the land of the dead and almost brings his wife back to life. But breaking his promise and seeing her rotting body, Izanami is unable to bring her back to life and curses her husband. There’s a similar story in Greek mythology. Orpheus.. pic.twitter.com/5xo3cxd81q

As a child, whenever I heard this story, I thought what a fool husband Izanagi was. I could have helped her. Then I came up with the idea of using the system of reincarnation, which had taken root in ancient Japan, to help Izanami. pic.twitter.com/oYyGIeXdqf

Reincarnation is an ancient Buddhist concept, and until the 13th century, many stories using the reincarnation system were written in Japan. But in the 13th century, a Buddhist monk called Shinran appeared and taught that people could go to heaven without reincarnation. pic.twitter.com/BlVtLALYmi

Then the reincarnation stories stopped being made, so I decided to revive them. Interestingly, the secondary and high schools where I studied were created by Shinran's successors. pic.twitter.com/tDm6lUwOaJ

@ayanakajima3 Hello Nishitani-san! It's wonderful to read your posts. I had a question, were you involved in Nakajima's inclusion in Last Bible? I hear Nakajima created their world, but since the games are not in English, the western audience is not aware of the story. pic.twitter.com/EVrqJiAfzJ
