Rhythm Tweezers/Development: Difference between revisions

[[Rhythm Tweezers 2|Rhythm Datsumo]] was originally going to use a photo of a development staff member's face, but was replaced because the developers found it a little too gross<ref>"Takeuchi - At first it wasn't an onion, but a person's face. We were using a real photo of someone's face, but it was a little too gross." ~ [http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/rhythm-heaven/0/1 Iwata Asks: Rhythm Heaven 2. Rhythm Tengoku: The Arcade Game]</ref>. The [[Hair Vegetables|onion]] design was inspired by the Arabian music used in the [[Rhythm Game]], and the shape of a [[wikipedia:Mosque|mosque]]<ref>"もともと、『リズム脱毛』のキャラクターは、開発スタッフの顔写真だったのですが、『リズム脱毛』で使用される音楽がアラビアンな曲ということもあり、モスク（たまねぎ型をした寺院）をイメージしながら描いたのがあの、たまねぎキャラなんです。" (Originally, the character for "Rhythm Datsumo" was a picture of a development staff member, but as the music used in "Rhythm Datsumo" is Arabian, I drew the onion character while imagining a mosque (a temple shaped like an onion).) ~ [[w:nintendo:Ko Takeuchi|Ko Takeuchi]], [https://www.1101.com/nintendo/rythm_heaven2/16.html ほぼ日刊イトイ新聞 - 樹の上の秘密基地。] (Hobonichi Itoi Shimbun - A secret base on a tree.)</ref>. It was also proposed to have the hairs be removed from the head rather than the beard, but the idea "wasn't suitable for everyone", so it was scrapped<ref>"ちなみに、リズムに合わせてヒゲではなく頭髪を抜くという案もあったのですが、それだとちょっと万人向けではないということあり、その案はボツになりました。ま、当然ですね（笑）。" (Incidentally, there was also a proposal to remove the hair from the head instead of the beard to match the rhythm, but that idea was rejected because it was not suitable for everyone. Well, of course it was (laughs).) ~ [[w:nintendo:Katsuya Yamano|Katsuya Yamano]], [https://www.1101.com/nintendo/rythm_heaven2/16.html ほぼ日刊イトイ新聞 - 樹の上の秘密基地。] (Hobonichi Itoi Shimbun - A secret base on a tree.)</ref>.
