Have You Been Listening to Hidechan Radio?

In case some of you don’t know, Hideo Kojima has his own net radio show called “Hidechan Radio.” The language may be in Japanese, but if you do get a chance to listen to it, it’s bound to be entertaining. It’s in this radio show that he gives Metal Gear fans like us some lovely previews on the upcoming Metal Gear games coming out on the PS3 or the PSP. And in this week’s radio show, other than the usual voice actor and Kojima talking and having fun during the show, they gave a really great update for us fans.

“Hidechan Radio” presents to us a radio drama called “Idea Spy. 2.5 Epic Battle.” Is it still Metal Gear related!? Of course it is! It in fact streams from 6pm until midnight everyday (ideally), but only new episodes come out every Friday night. Now that’s a damn long radio drama. The story is written by Shuuyou Murata, the screenwriter for the Metal Gear series, and Hideo-chan takes unto his own directing the voice actors. It is independent on the events of the Metal Gear series. Seriously, I think it’s just Hideo’s crack meter running again.

“Idea Spy” is set in New York wherein a cargo of plain clothing was being maneuvered by an extremely awful (yes, this is how they put it) group named the Junker Expensive of America. The group plans to sell this all over the city. The FBI then forms a covert ops group called 2.5 who will be fighting off the JEA.

Honestly, it sounds weird, but then the show will only start Friday, so we’ve got to wait and see what happens. For all we know, it could really be related to Metal Gear like Hideo said. He hopes that it becomes extremely popular and hopes to push for merchandising and even paid downloads for the show. I have no idea about the campaign against bad clothing, but with the pilot image of the drama showing Snake in a tuxedo and an unknown lady dressed pretty well, Hideo may have wanted to add some class into our favorite Snake. Maybe it’s the fact that Hide-chan has been dressed quite well himself. If you check his blog, he happily posts an acknowledgment to the designer of his clothes – Jean Paul Gaultier. Is he trying to promote fashionable gaming now?
