'''Tanakako (hereafter Ta)''': Oooh, great work. The Winter 2017 Event "Reconnaissance Force Emergency Deployment! Operation 'Hikari'" is soon coming to an end, but this time (Editor Note: interview was conducted in late February) - just like last time - the clear rate looks like it'll be higher than that of previous events.

'''T''': Many players picked Easy Mode, didn't they?

'''T''': Many players picked Easy Mode, didn't they?

'''Ta''': For the first map of the main operation Hard Mode has been the most common choice, for the second map it's been Medium Mode. For the final map Easy Mode has overwhelmingnly been the most popular choice, but what I considered peculiar was that this time there were many admirals who cleared even the last map on Hard Mode right after the event started. The numbers should have pretty much evened out by now, but by the last day Easy Mode will probably be the most selected difficulty level for the last map, even if just by a slim margin.

'''T:''' Hmm. So this time it's going neatly from Hard to Medium to Easy. And after the Winter Event that foreign heavy cruiser is finally getting her second remodelling!

'''Ta:''' Yes. This spring we're going to implement "Zara due", who boasts excellent daytime shelling capabilities.

'''T:''' Ooh, "due"! Sounds strong!

'''T:''' For example?

'''T:''' For example?

'''Ta:''' For example, as you can see with Kiyoshimo here I've had several seasonal and other designs added for ship girls like the Yūgumo-class, not to mention merchandise like Prize or Nendoroid figurines. This year I would also like to add more ship girls in casual clothing, be it in the game or in collaborations.
