Hello, everyone, I am Wildgun. , this time I still bring you a report about “Love the Train – Pure Station -”. Last time I mentioned that I was keen on a Japanese galgame called “Love Train-Pure Station-”, which was translated and introduced by HIKARI FIELD in September 2018 and sold on the Steam platform. During my trip to Japan in October, I also met Mr. Leopard several times with this screenwriter
Later I learned that Mr. Leopard will come to China in November to draw the story of China’s prototype for the sequel to the “Love Train-Pure Station-” (tentative name). I contacted Mr. Leopard and HIKARI FIELD, and applied for the same amount at the expense. Thanks to the good intentions of both, I was allowed to walk with me, and I was able to participate in this material journey as a newcomer and a sinister journalist. Between November 5 and 10, a short trip was held in Beijing with Chengdu, and the interview was conducted on the Z49 train from Beijing to Chengdu designated by Mr. Leopard. Mr. Leopard experienced a train in a hard sleeper, and it must have been a memorable one
After the trip, Mr. Leopard also opened Sina Weibo @ Carry the leopard. . Welcome everyone to pay attention and actively interact!
This interview contains a total of 11 questions, and questions are prepared by Wildgun. . In addition to the seventh question, other questions were translated by Ms. Zhang, and then written by Mr. Leopard. After that, my Wildgun. translated the answer into Chinese and asked one of my friends who had ID for Big Apple to proofread. Present it to everyone now. The seventh question relates to the R-18 content related question. It is not the content of HIKARI FIELD’s introduction of the Chinese version of “Love Train-Pure Station-”, so I asked for a translation when I asked questions. The interview question was made on the window seat of the Z49 train hard sleeper, which is very meaningful
The interview content is as follows:
Wildgun. : Carrying Mr. Leopard, it’s hard to get a trip! Welcome to China!
Next, please allow me to conduct some questioning interviews as a sci-fi reporter
One,
Wildgun. : Chinese players know about you, from “Mao Shen Qi Tan” (ものべの) and “Love the Train” (まいてつ) Start. However, as far as I know, you seem to be working outside the game, and also working on lyrics creation and fan writing. I would like to ask, what types and works have you created so far?
Carry the leopard. :
I was a cartoonist when I was young, but I didn’t do anything that I could call “creation.” My real creation begins with article writing. There is a game called “play by mail” that uses a mailing method. I worked as the game master for the game and started writing as an opportunity
This is what happened when I was 20 years old
In the test of whether or not to become a game manager, I started writing articles in my original novel form. I didn’t write it very hard, so I felt that I might have talent in this area
After that, a painter friend invited me to be the original ofエロcomics, and finally wrote for a long time
During that period, there were also awards for children’s literature newcomers, or teachers who were not guided by non-fiction literature (documentary literature), but there was no development in those areas. The artist friend mentioned above said that “I want to make a fan game,” and it became an opportunity for me to write a game script
After that, I met Mr. tO. At his invitation, I participated in the creation of the business game (Mao Shenqi) and the storyline (プロット). I was also responsible for all the writing. Work until now
Translation Note:
For mailing games, please refer to: Wikipedia: Mailing Games. Mr.
TO: President of LOSE Society (ボーントゥ), the production company of “Mao Shen Qi Tan” and “Love the Train”
II.
Wildgun. : I noticed that your work seems to be based on the more remote areas of Japan. For example, “Mao Shen Qi Tan” is in Gaozhi County, “Love the Train” is in Kumamoto Prefecture, and “Love the Train” AR camera (まいてつカメラ) Take the railway of the Chiba Prefecture Scorpion as the prototype. What is the main reason you choose these more remote areas?
Carry the leopard. :
Because I think it’s easier to find good stories in strange land and unknown things
If the feelings that I have found in the story are conveyed as the touch of the character, then the story is likely to become lively and lively
In addition, there is also the idea of “hope that the player can travel to the stage of the story (if possible, take the train)”
Three,.
Wildgun. : In the previous Twitter, you mentioned that you are living in Saitama Prefecture, your father is from Niigata, and your mother is from Hokkaido. What is your childhood growth environment? Does this also prompt you to actively describe the story of remote areas of Japan?
Carry the leopard. :
There is an ancient city called Kawagoe in Saitama Prefecture. I was born in a residential area in the countryside of Kawagoe. The nearest station is the new riverside station on the Tobu east line. Adjacent to one station is the Kawagoe station that shares a station with JR (when I was a small state railway). I used to take the tram to the tutoring class in Kawagoe. At that time, there was a ticket office at the east exit of Kawagoe Station, where hard tickets were sold, so traveling for tickets was a small pleasure. Then, I gradually grew up, entered the junior high school, and then entered various schools, and began the writing of the above-mentioned nature during the reading period… This is the very ordinary growth process. In addition to borrowing from the housing of Yuanzhuji on the Toyoko Line, the only students in the era were Kawagoe (New River Bank) and Sayama (Into), which has been in Saitama
The growth process is more or less related to the selection of the stage: “Because there is no sea in Saitama Prefecture, my growth experience does not involve the sea, so I lack the confidence to create a story of a coastal town. (So, there is no stage on the coast. s work.)”
Translation Note:
About JR, National Railways and Private Railways – Japan’s railways are divided into Japanese state-run railways and private railways. In some cases, the same station will have two or more lines of national and private railways. Later, in 1987, the Japanese railway was restructured and the national railway was privatized. It was divided into seven companies, namely JR Hokkaido, JR East Japan, JR Tokai, JR West Japan, JR Shikoku, JR Kyushu and JR Cargo
IV.
Wildgun. : What does the railway mean for you? When did you start with the idea of “I want to write a story about the railway”?
Carry the leopard. :
The railway – or the train ride – was originally just a “small interest” for me, but it has been more than that recently
Very occasionally my birthday is October 14th, which is Japan’s railway anniversary. So I began to feel that the fate between myself and the railway seemed to be deeper than I thought. I have always wanted to write a story about the railway. The waste case before the adoption of “Mao Shen Qi Tan” was also based on the railway
Thanks to “Mao Shen Qi Tan”, “Mao Shen Qi Tan – Happy End-” fortunately with the support of many players, I finally got the dream come true in “Love Train – Pure Station”
Fives,
Wildgun. : Can you tell the players about the sequel to “Love the Train – Pure Station” in the scope of the license?
Additional question: Can Chinese railway dolls “common sense” (resonance) with Japanese railway dolls?
Carry the leopard. :
Related information will be updated on the ci-en website at any time. I would be very happy if I can go to that website for confirmation
https://ci-en.jp/creator/922/
Thinking is speech, so there may be difficulties in including the common sense of complex intelligence – this is my current idea, but I have not yet clarified this issue
Six,
Wildgun. : Since the story of the Chinese railway doll (レイルロオド) has been announced, has there been any discussion of local offline activities in China with HIKARI FIELD? For example, will Mr Wong consider letting the “No Machines and Pavilions” to come to China to participate in the fan exhibition?
Carry the leopard. :
Offline meeting, whenever you are welcome! If you can get your favorite, then please!
Because there is a problem of language barriers (my comrades are all based on words), I have not considered (to China) exhibitions. If it is possible to hold an event such as “86 Coupés @中国”, it will be wonderful!
Seven,
Wildgun. : The following is a question of adult content. What do you think about the contents of the R-18. What is the content of R-18 in your work? Is it an increase in sales to increase sales? Still an indispensable part of the story itself?
Carry the leopard. :
I wrote it voluntarily and spontaneously. I also thought that if I wrote it, the sense of love will become higher, and it will also make people’s relationship deeper
However, as far as “Love Train-Pure Station-”, R-18 content is not an indispensable element in the story
Also, when writing or writing on commercial media, whether or not to include R-18 content is not determined by my personal wishes
Eight,
wildgun : For galgame, AVG games, some manufacturers believe that this game form is declining. As a planning and game playwright, what do you think about the status and future of galgame?
Carry the leopard. :
It can be felt that the business model based on the physical version has not completely disappeared, but it is gradually declining. However, galgame is actually a form of “love-themed story”, so I think that even if the form of sale changes, it should be able to survive in the world and be always sought by the world
九,
wildgun : You seem to be publicizing your day’s plans on Twitter every day and reporting progress and time in the evening. When did you start this habit? What is the reason for this?
Carry the leopard. :
This should be the habit I developed when I started using Twitter
So, probably started three years ago? The reason why we want to continue is to let ourselves not slack off! !
十,
wildgun : Every year, many Chinese tourists travel to Japan. There are also many college students and young people. They are actively learning about Japanese culture and have traveled to Japan more than once. For those young people who have been to many metropolitan cities (Tokyo, Osaka) and are planning to visit other small cities in Japan, what are the recommended viewing angles or points of view for Japanese railway culture?
Carry the leopard. :
Recommend the Railway Museum in Kyoto. It is really easy and convenient to take a steam train on the road
If you want to enjoy the snow scene, we recommend a heater train for the Tsugaru Railway in Aomori Prefecture
If you want to enjoy the scenery and atmosphere, then the “Orange Cafe” train on the Fatsa Orange Railway between Kumamoto Prefecture and Kagoshima Prefecture is recommended
Then, since Kumamoto is mentioned, of course, it is necessary to take the “SL Renji” sightseeing train to visit Kyrgyzstan! ! I think this is definitely not to be missed!
Translation Note:
Kyoto Railway Museum: http://www.kyotorailwaymuseum.jp/sc/.
Heater train: http://tsutetsu.com/stove.html.
Orange Cafeteria: https://www.hs-orange.com/kankou/
“sl Renji” sightseeing train: It is the prototype train of “8620 in “Love Train-Pure Station-”, and Renji City is also the prototype of “Yuyi Night Market” in the game. So Mr. Leopard will recommend it like this. SL Renji itself is also a very famous sightseeing theme train. Website: http://www.jrkyushu.co.jp/cn/train/sl.html.
十一,
wildgun : Before and after the end of the tour, please use three words to summarize the imagination of China before you come to China; and use three words this time to summarize what you see after the trip. The feelings of China
进行豹 :
It should be said that it is not a sightseeing trip, but a journey of materials. Before it came, it was “expected”, “uneasy” and “unknown”. After taking the materials, my feelings became “touched”, “thank you” and “goodbye.” “.”.
This time, in China, thanks to the fact that I have helped me in various places or through the Internet, and encouraged me, thanks to you, this trip has become a fruitful and wonderful journey. I thank you from the bottom of my heart
Thank you!
Then, for the “Love the Train Sequel” and the script for the Chinese stage, I would like to ask for more! !
Finally, it is “Love the Train” to carry out the message of Mr. Leopard in China and finally to the Fans (video).

Time: November 10, 2018.

Content meaning:
“Hello good Morning!”
Now, I am carrying a leopard at the airport in Chengdu. After I spent five days in Chengdu and Beijing, I am going back to Japan. In China, it has received support from both of you and peers, and it has become a very successful source. In the sequel to “Fall in the Train”, the script of the Chinese stage will definitely be very good, so look forward to it! Then, I want to come back to China, and I will take care of it at that time!
“Goodbye!”
