Kazunori Yamauchi Makes TV Debut
March 26th, 2009 by Jordan
In a rather surprising “public” appearance, Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi is starring in a Japanese commercial for GT5 Prologue, which you can see above. There’s nothing new (aside from Yamauchi-san’s acting skills), but it’s interesting to note that we are seeing some new efforts to advertise the series… This video just popped up on the web, but it could have been running for quite some time now -- if any of our readers in Japan could clear this up (along with what is being said), please let us know.

He’s basically saying that his aim in producing Gran Turismo is to express the feeling of driving and that the Playstation 3 is the best tool for achieving this.
Haven’t seen this ad on TV but then again, I don’t watch TV much these days.

well he has never done this before. I would say this is pre advertisement for the release of GT5.
otherwise there would be no point in doing it. It would just waste his time.
