“People may not use them, but I want them to feel cared for when they're here.”
Kojima opened in January 2023 Kojima Productions’ in-house sound studio with the commemorative podcast recording. He had wanted something more specialized but did not provide the budget, saying they could not build a complete foley studio because that requires a foley artist and they do not have one on staff. His ideal was to be able to do everything in-house as the best use of time in terms of productivity. The complex includes a scan room, a studio for recording videos, and a Hollywood-style green room for artists with very tall mirrors that he laughs about but defends, noting that people may not use them but he wants visitors to feel cared for when they are there.
“So this is Kojima Productions' in-house sound studio, and this is our first commemorative recording. […] Like, we couldn't make a complete foley studio. […] We have a scan room, a studio for recording like YouTube videos, and a green room for artists and talents.”
