Hi All
I don’t know if any one is aware of a Japanese cartoon called Initial D- for anyone whose interested in Japanese modified cars, drifting and street racing its a must see. Im hooked on it!
"Initial D is an anime about a 18 years old boy Takumi Fujiwara, who helps his father Bunta Fujiwara deliver the tofu from their home to a hotel at the top of the Akina Mountain everyday. Takumi Fujiwara started driving since he was 13 years old. His driving skill is very good, especially in drifting. The story begins when the racing team Redsuns comes to Akina, and challenges the local racing team SpeedStars for a race. Everybody expected SpeedStars to lose in this race. At this time, a mysterious AE86 shows up and against the Redsun's RX-7 FD and ......."
Theres loads of car racing and a few nice cartoon women, you can download it or buy it with English subtitles. One of my mates gave me the first couple of episodes on a disk and I have since purchased all the series and the movie off ebay, everyone ive lent the cds to are also addicted to it, so if you have broadband down load the first couple of episodes of kazza and see what ya think! The soundtrack off it is also excellent, be carefull though, my mate peter played it in his MR2 and thought he was Takumi and put his car through a barrier drifting!
I was wondering if OZ knows of any other similar cartoons? also if could recommended any Japanese dance music? I love driving around in the beat listening to it, I haven’t got a clue what they are saying but im sure it reminds my car of home and it makes a very welcomed change from the usual rubbish on the radio. Im seriously looking into moving to japan to work for a year after i graduate on a programme called JETS, im having dreams of Meet The Beats already!!
Thanks
Michael
