Every year, the event offers a wide variety of content, including Esports, music, anime, talk shows, and hands-on exhibition booths, and is attended by a diverse range of gamers from core to casual. DreamHack Japan, which will be held this weekend, is the first event of its kind in the East Asian region, and is attracting a great deal of attention from gamers in Japan and abroad.
DreamHack Japan" will be packed with attractions such as exhibitions where you can watch top players battle it out, and live performances by "Creepy Nuts" and "Wednesday's Campanella". Of particular note is the "TOYOTA GAMING SPOT" booth, a collaborative project between "STARBASE" and "Toyota" called "Drive Your Teenage Dreams.
A familiar jet-black Hiace appeared at the venue. Once inside, visitors were able to experience the game on a specially installed monitor. The game being played was "Street Fighter 6," which is scheduled for release in June of this year! This is a special content only available at this event, where you can enjoy the game in the car before its release.
There are other exciting tricks, too. After playing "Street Fighter 6," follow Toyota's Instagram page and post a message with the hashtag "#DYTDxSF6" to receive a limited-edition collaboration T that can only be obtained at this event. The design, featuring a group illustration of the characters from the film and the Toyota logo, is sure to be a hit with fans.
This extraordinary space embodies the concept of "DYTD," where the car is the plaything and the car is the secret base. Come and be one of the first to play the game and get your limited edition T!
