Best thing about Dragon Quest Treasures is that if you use the code "YUB" in their mystery gift thing they give you a King Slime voiced by Actual Yuuji Horii.

He says stuff like "It's me, Mr. Horii!" and "Takara arisou da naa"

Note to non-olds about the phone conversation in the song: this song was written well before we all basically had caller ID in our pockets. Generally speaking, if the phone rang, people picked it up without knowing who it could possibly be. (I usually had to brace myself before picking up a phone call.)
