Sonic's Birthday 2014

Did you know that Sonic's Birthday is on June 23rd? For a limited time, you can acquire Sonic related items from the FUN Scratch and 2nd Anniversary FUN Shop! But if you wish Sonic a happy birthday during the event period, you'll receive several prizes.

Just say 誕生日おめでとう in chat sometime between now through June 25th's maintenance to receive:

• One SEGA logo Light
• One  Short Cake
• One +50% Tribooster

You can say it in any of the following ways:

• 「誕生日おめでとう」
  ▲▲The Exact Phrase▲▲
• 「ソニック、誕生日おめでとう！」
  Other words and punctuation can be used before or after the phrase.

However, if you break up the phrase by adding in punctuation 「誕生日、おめでとう」, or break up the phrase on two or more lines, or say the phrase in English 「Happy Birthday」, or use the wrong kana 「たんじょうびオメデトウ」, you will not qualify for the prizes.

The prizes will be distributed mid-July at the Visiphone.
