He praises that the source material and artwork are incredible, moreover the mise en scene is spectacular.
Later, he talks about the community of Naruto fans across the globe. He states that different countries have a strong community of Naruto fans. The next shot shows Matsuyama in various conventions dressed up like Naruto with the fans.
During the interview, he reveals that in the story mode of "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4," there is a special piece that CyberConnect2 has not yet unveiled.
Studio Pierrot, who is responsible for the TV anime, and TV Tokyo allowed CyberConnect2 to use the actual cuts from the animation. Fans can see the real animation throughout the game.

Towards the end of the video, Matsuyama signs off and falls down from the treadmill.
In an earlier video, he shared how he is a big fan of Kishimoto, creator of Naruto.
"We can talk about being fans personally, but having worked on the Naruto project together, and that included Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo, Shueisha and Kishimoto-sensei, we know lots of stories that ordinary people don't know. So half of me is just a personal fan of Kishimoto-sensei and his work on Naruto, but the other half of me is a member of the team working on Naruto."
