First, welcome to the list :)
The about that page, it's not written in Japanese but in Chinese, it's a
little
abstract from the "Tokyo Game Show" that took place during autumn last
year.
Here's a very rough translation of the stuff on the page:
<start translation>
This is a section from a talk show which took place during the 98 "Tokyo
Game
Show". The "cast" was very big, with Red's president Hiroi Ohji, Sega's
president
Shoichiro Irimajiri, Sonic Team's captain Suzuki ??, Warp's president
??? etc
(sorry about not getting the names ^^;;;;;). During this section they
talked
about Dreamcast's affect on the gaming market, and what future projects
they
each have in plan for the DC.
At first, Warp's president "interviewed" Capcom's head of the
development
department ????, then he went on to interview Hiroi Ohji. Don't know if
it was
intended or not, Hiroi Ohji used the keyword "Sakura Taisen 3", everyone
had
gotten very excited because of this! Warp's president pressed on in
order to get the truth from Hiroi Ohji. Hiroi Ohji gave in and
announced that Sakura Taisen 3 will be on DC, and will support network
play. We can see what happens below.
(The "click" button is a link to a Real Video of the "talkshow")
This is the translation to the "talkshow", please Fast Forward to 32:00
(the 32
min)
32:08
What type of games do we need? Let's think everybody.......
32:27
Hiroi Ohji: Ah, I think Sakura Taisen 3 will be the best choice........
Warp's president: WHAT? Sakura Taisen 3? Please give us more details!
(Hiroi Ohji covers his mouth, everyone else starts to laugh)
Warp's president: You what to make this an offical announcement? If
yes then
quickly do it!
Hiroi Ohji: Okay, everybody..........
Warp's president: What? You're do this for real?
(hahahaha, woo, woo, woo <--background laughter I assume)
Warp's president: OKOK, really going to announce it here?
Hiroi Ohji: Can I?
Warp's president: Of course, please......
32:50
Hiroi Ohji: Hm, ah......... Sakura Taisen 3..........
Warp's president: And?
Hiroi Ohji: Will be coming out on Dreamcast!!
Everybody: WOO!!!!!
Clap clap clap......
Warp's president: Dreamcast, Dreamcast......
Hiroi Ohji: Also.......
Hiroi Ohji: Will support network play!
Everybody: WOO!!!!!!

Hope this clears everything up :)
