ふつうではない日、ふつうではない心境ですが、ふつうに出社し、ふつうに開発に打ち込んでいます。それが岩田さんのためでもありますしね。なすべきことをします。 — 桜井 政博 (@Sora_Sakurai) July 13, 2015
Oggi non è un giorno qualunque Anche la nostra mente non è la stessa. Siamo presenti come al solito, siamo dedicati allo sviluppo come al solito. Anche questo è per Iwata-San. Questo è ciò che dovrebbe essere fatto.
