Gunma, expect an update on Script day 4 scene, of a flashback filled with a bit of childhood cuteness, as Seiji will learn of Chiaki and Tsubasa's childhood as well as more of origins behind Tsubasa's motivation.

Btw...as the scene is coming under writing format soon, enjoy this BGM as it will be used for the childhood scene. :3

REPOSTED from Journal thread:

Good news: Had a good clean MT run with TAKMI at Yokohane & Wangan using Tomo & Seiji respectively. Then I took all the DX kings with my DAIKI Z33.

Bad news: I LOST MY FRIKKIN' TOMO CARD OUT OF THE BLUE. I CAN'T REMEBER HOW WHEN OR WHY!!!

Recovery news: Good thing I had it backed up, OH SUPPLIER! WHERE ARE YE!

Lost card impact: VERY VERY VERY MINIMAL. 3% emotional damage.
Status: still okay / sane / happy-to-have-waited-and-walked-GF-home.


-----------

Ah, the power of backing up your data with a reliable source. It soothes the pain, REALLY!

--------------------------------------

So yeah I lost my Tomo card. Checked all possible areas and streets and suburbs & every nook and cranny I've been to for the past 6 hours. No match found. But it's a good thing I had it backed up.

The best way to look at this scenario:

TOMO R34 was not destined to reach Australia in the first place seeing the immense W-L-ratio *leaning more on lose* and the fact that the story canon never covered Australia at all.

How I see it, It's like Viaggio Grande IRL. Supplier is at Hawaii; Viaggio Grande is set at Hawaii... TOMO R34 is fulfilling the story canon as we speak. Gonna tell my supplier to ship out a TOMO R34 copy by Monday so when I get home at Philippines, I'll see it waiting for me.

It's gonna turn out as if the TOMO R34 is Kasumi waiting for my home and when I open the door, see the card there, it's like Kasumi crying happilly and telling me: " Okairinasai... *sniffle* baka! "

Here's the childhood story scene where Chiaki shares her childhood story to Seiji in understanding him more...and Chiaki's planning for Seiji's battle at Day 4's final scene.

Note: Quite a long scene, but do read slowly.

SPOILER

*Both cars continued on Yokohane Downbound as the camera fades out slowly, two cars are headed towards the parking area nearby* *As the camera fades back again into the scene of a parking lot, The Evo VIII parked besides the 911, and soon both Chiaki and Seiji are seen sitting on each other’s cars* Chiaki: Great driving back there…Mr. Tsuchiya. You were following my line closely. I didn’t expect anyone with that much courage to do so other than Tsubasa himself at certain occasion. You’ve improved a lot…at least more than the time when we first met. Seiji: It was nothing. I feel like your driving is just really smooth and sometimes too ideal, so I just had to follow at some point, since I know an ideal racer with an ideal driving mindset and technique are almost too hard to find, no matter how skilled a person may be. Chiaki: You’re giving me too much credit. Until now I am just driving like how I used to when I race. But enough about that…do you have something you want to ask me? Seiji: Yeah…but it’s nothing of real importance anyway, if you’re busy, I can talk another day if you – Chiaki: No. It’s alright, today is my day off anyway…besides, your driving tells me that you wanted to chase me and ask me something important…so saying it as “nothing of real importance” would only mean that you’re lying. So tell me…what troubles you today? *smiles* Seiji: Well…it’s about your friend…Aramaki Tsubasa. Have you heard of what he did last night? Chiaki: Last night…? Oh, the 13 Devils again huh? Seiji: Yeah…seeing how he has progressed throughout the moment when he has his car back running, I couldn’t help but feel like this is no longer just about the matter of being brave while driving a disadvantageous car, facing against highway monster machines such as these, your friend has done something incredible last night…challenging the leader of that group, among all people. Chiaki: From what I heard, it seems that the leader won though. No matter how strong a car is, an 86 is still an 86 after all, even if it’s my childhood friend’s powerful Trueno, it’s no exception.\ Seiji: Then it’s probably your friend did something that managed to make Jintei, the leader of the 13 Devils feel humiliated enough that he feels like he just got trampled, despite being the victor. There’s no bigger shame than losing to a car that is so much worse in performance power than your own car…especially when that car is the car that you have absolute confidence in. Chiaki: Jintei…he drove an R34, right? Seiji: Yeah…and it’s a very modified one too…to be honest, I never liked the 13 Devils’ motivations, but their leader is very skilled, and so are the members themselves. Aramaki Tsubasa can actually force the leader to this state alone is really saying something. Now I just wished to know…what could be the motivation behind his fierce driving…? What is it that drives him all the way till this point? Chiaki: Well, it’s a pretty simple reason of motivation to be honest. If you wish to know…it’s because of his old fear when we’re still children. Seiji: Fear…? Chiaki: Yeah. Well…he had always felt like he’s missing out something or feel left behind when he was still a child, back when we’re still kindergarten…he’s not even every bit as near as bold as he was back then, when I came to know him recently. He’s like a child, who’s desperate in wanting to be stronger by himself…a very independent child even back then. Seiji: I see…though I am not exactly interested, but do share the story, if you would? Seeing as how close you both are, I might get a chance to understand him more. Chiaki: *giggles* Well, it’s kinda embarrassing, but if you insist...back in kindergarten, he was always alone…working on any activity without anyone’s help. He didn’t want others to see him as being reliant over people…as he believe that if he try hard enough, his work can be just as good or even better than the work of something done in one group…even when we’re both just 5 years old that time…he already had such mindset…something that impressed me until now… Seiji: Even as a kid, he’s a loner huh? Chiaki: Yeah…but I am always there for him, because I believe that’s what made him so special to me… **Cue BGM Usagi to Kame starts to play** *Flashback begins as it shows a kindergarten scene, where a young child resembling Tsubasa can be seen sitting alone in the class, glaring outside while coloring a picture. Everyone else has almost finished drawing, except for him. Soon, a tiny hand reached out and grabbed Tsubasa by his clothes, pulling him gently and wanted his attention* Young Tsubasa: Hmm? Young Chiaki: Ehehehehe~ What are you doing, Tsu-chan? Everyone has almost finished coloring! Young Tsubasa: Emm..I wanted to finish too…but I dunno why I couldn’t color as good as you, Chiaki. Young Chiaki: *sees Tsubasa’s drawing of an apple, it’s colored halfway* Ah! It looks so delicious! Young Tsubasa: Really huh? But it’s only colored halfway…I am scared of showing it to teacher…everyone colors so nice and yet I am the only one left behind all the time. I wanted to bejust as amazing as them…but I want to see if I can do it alone…but it seems so hard…*pouts quietly* Young Chiaki: It’s alright, Tsu-chan. We will color together, okay? Young Tsubasa: Umm…Sure… *colors along with Chiaki* *After a moment, the drawing was done beautifully* Young Tsubasa: Ah…beautiful. Young Chiaki: It looks so much yummier now~ Teacher: Oh…Aramaki, Miyazaki, you both did this? Young Tsubasa: Ah…teacher…I… Young Chiaki: I only helped a bit, Tsu-chan did all by himself here. Please don’t give him a bad grade. He finishes last but he really worked hard! Teacher: Hmm… *takes picture and examines* well, I can’t say it’s bad or anything that you helped him, but I do like the fact that you cared for him, Miyazaki. I’d give him an A+. Young Tsubasa: Oh…please don’t do that, teacher…I didn’t do it 100%, so…I…I wish to do another one, if you would? This way, it will be fair, right? Teacher: It’s alright. Just think of this as one step in learning to work together, Aramaki. I’d give you an A+ and that is final, alright? *wink* Young Tsubasa: Oh… Young Chiaki: Isn’t it good? The teacher finally gave you a good score. Young Tsubasa: Uuu….thank you then, teacher. Teacher: Well then, do keep up the good work too in studies later, Aramaki. Young Tsubasa: …yes, teacher! *smiles* Chiaki (narrating): Tsubasa…he was always filled with doubts of his own ability, and even more so when others helped him, so that’s probably why he keeps a distance from other when he’s working hard on something alone, just so that he wished that he may achieve something someday without relying on anyone. Seiji (Narrating): I see…even as a kid, he has his own sense of persistence at least…at his own way. Chiaki (Narrating): That’s just the tip of the iceberg, really. He did everything poorly at the beginning, especially studies, but that’s also what made him such a strong person…back in his primary school days… *Flashback continued as now they’re in primary school, and Tsubasa is later seen grown up a bit. He took the result papers and noticed that they’re all evaluated in very low marks. Tsubasa seemed slightly disappointed, but he managed to force a smile still, Chiaki later appears and saw Tsubasa holding his papers, while she was congratulated by her students for scoring most papers with flying colors* Tsubasa: *Sigh* …Another failed attempt…oh well, might as well double my effort next time. Chiaki: Hold on for a second, everyone. I’d be right back, okay? Girl student A: Ah…Aramaki, never thought you’d be interested in him…you’ve got great taste, Miyazaki. Hehehe…. Girls surrounding her together: OOOOOooohhh….! Chiaki: *blushes* Cut it out, you girls. Tsubasa! Tsubasa: Hmm? Chiaki…congrats on getting top score again…this is the third time in a row for this year. Chiaki: Well, it’s unfortunate that you have to work harder next time…but I am sure you’d get a higher mark next year, if we do more revisions together! Tsubasa: Sure thing. But as much as I like to study with you, I think it’s much better if I figure many of the subjects here by myself. Chiaki: Are you trying to shoulder everything on yourself again? You’d exhaust yourself if you keep going like this, you know? Tsubasa: It’s alright. I can endure it all. It’s for the sake of me getting a good grade to ensure my career path in the future after all. This year may be bad, but I am certain next year will be better. Thanks, Chiaki...with you helping me on certain occasions, no doubt I’d be able to climb higher next time. Chiaki: *smiles happily*Right… *Tsubasa returned a smile too* **Cue Music Utada Hikaru - Beautiful World Acoustica Mix starts to play** Chiaki (Narrating): And well, he keep trying to study on his own, despite me having helped him a few times before throughout the years…as soon when he graduated from primary school, he ended up scoring as the second best student scorer in the school…surpassing even mine. *End of second flashback* Seiji: So…the motivation behind his racing spirit is that he’s more or less very persistent in trying to surpass his own limits…pretty typical thinking to be honest, for someone whom has low-confidence in his own strength at the beginning. He was afraid of being left behind and being known as weak compared to others… basically anyone with a fraction of mindset of a desire to be good will eventually begin to think that once they work hard enough, their desired result will blossom. Chiaki: Exactly…to overcome his fear of being left behind and being weak, he choose to be the fear itself by accepting his weakness at first, then eventually cleared his mind to overcome his own weak self. It doesn’t matter what he does, as long as he believed that he can achieve something, he will acknowledge his weakness and do anything to strengthen himself. The same applies for his life in racing, he choose a car simply because he likes it…and if anyone wishes to challenge him, he’d acknowledge his own weakness easily and do something to overcome it. Seiji: Yeah…as much as I don’t want to admit it…the AE86 and him are a good combination…the car was meant to train a driver after all…and he who insist on finding ways to become better…there could be no better matched car for him now. Chiaki: Well…so now you know the backstory of him, and probably me too. Did that helped you a bit in understanding him more? Or do you wish to know even more about him? I may not know him as much as a family, but I’d try nonetheless if you still have questions. Seiji: No…that’s all I wish to know for now…since I haven’t even met him in person yet…speaking of meeting, can you do me a favor, Miyazaki? Chiaki: Yes? What is it? Seiji: Can you plan a race tonight for me with Aramaki Tsubasa? I’d like to see him in person. There’s something I wish to see for my own eyes. It’ll be a long race…tell him that he can make the race as long as it takes. I may be able to find the answer I need, through racing him, I might be able to find my true worth as a racer. Chiaki: Hmm…sure thing. I’d call him now and see if he’s available tonight. Hold on a minute, alright? *takes out phone and start dialing number while waiting for a response* *phone clicks* Chiaki: Hello? It’s me, Chiaki. Are you free tonight? Oh, that so? Well, can you meet up at Yokohane tonight? There’s someone there whom you longed to see in person, he has finally answered your call and wished to see you in person. Yeah…I am certain, why do you think I’d joke on something like this? Oh…so it’s tonight then? Alright, thank you for replying…haha. You take good care too, alright? Bye! *shuts off phone* Seiji: …so, did it go well? Chiaki: Yup. Both of you will meet up at Yokohane first. I’d be waiting somewhere at the Wangan Line, I have a feeling that the race tonight might stretch across the Kanagawa Area. *smiles confidently* Seiji: The high speed stage…sure hope that kid knows what he’s going to expect…since knowing what he’s capable of, it feels like I can hardly relax…heh. It’s been a while since I’ve met racers whom can give me an adrenaline rush. So, you’d follow up from Wangan later on as we passed through I suppose? Chiaki: Of course, watching you both race will also be a great experience. Seiji: I see…alright then. Thank you for sharing your stories with me, Miyazaki. Now if you’d excuse me, I have some other business to attend to. Let’s meet again later tonight… Chiaki: …at the Wangan, I got it. *wave goodbye* Take care then, Tsuchiya. Seiji: *turned around and waved goodbye too as he enters the Evo VIII and left* Chiaki: *gazed upwards the sky* …do your best and don’t overwork yourself, Tsubasa…you’re already a very strong person… *The scene ends as camera fades out afterwards*

I'm thinking of slightly moving stuff a la GRID, but that is too advanced lol. I may have better ideas for this too.

^ something like that. or if any, I'd just make an NFS style instead. but yeah.

TOMO BNR34 GT-R HEROES Edition Review has been uploaded!

TOMO BNR34 GT-R HEROES Edition Review has been uploaded!

did you notice that I bumped the yellow wall at 1:34?

EDIT: Carbon FRP hood again? That sounds redundant bro. Paste an annotation saying it's a Carbon ducted hood (or a CF hood if it isn't ducted).

This post has been edited by +-!mma_N00B-+ on Mar 26 2012, 11:44 PM

FRP is different from Carbon. SO I just go with what I know and what the machine says.

FRP hoods are light but not as light as the carbon Fibre ones. and both are totally different



[ Post merged on Mar 26 2012, 11:58 PM ]
read lv. 14 in the Dress up thread. It says FRP hood there.

There's:

> Stock
> CF, original form
> FRP, ducted
> CF, ducted

c'mon, there isn't a CF FRP hood in this world at all, the machine is probably speaking Engrish >.>

meh... either way... it still works... XD

At least Rin will now see how bad the 34 is... XD And shove it at the faces of those at his area giving it a bad name.

Superb review as always, Gunma.

Can't wait to see the other heroes coming.

There's still Seiji and Daiki, right?

Too bad Tsubasa will never make it to the cut, unless we have MT4 here by now... ;___;

I wonder what short quote I'd use for Daiki & Seiji since Tomo's was about the "Sanctuary of Speed."...

I am not too expert in quotes stuffs, but...here's what I have in mind.

Daiki: "This is my...Sanctuary of Speed."

Seiji: "Who else will find their Sanctuary of Speed from here on...?"

Daiki? Probably Silverblood

and oh, trust me, someone would ask you wtf is a CF FRP hood eventually.

LOL I just got word from a friend of mine that she shared this with her friend and I was labelled as a hipster for bashing the 34.

HATERS GONNA HATE! POTATOES GONNA POTATE!

Day 4 script is finally done.

As always, I'd leave the editing to Gunma before finalization.

I just checked on the TOMO review video... APPARENTLY, THE FIRST DISLIKE APPEARS! LET THE HATERS COME!

For RIn to get as reference for the Takumi VS Seiji encounter battle


[ Post merged on Mar 28 2012, 09:33 PM ]
Hiei VS Gatchan has been made. Check it out here; don't forget to share, like, comment, & subscribe to the youtube channel.

Warning: May Contain ponies.

Whoopie for BUTTSECKS

Just a matter of time before the big bad wolf (USA) hits 4shared. Just a heads up, you'd probably be better off uploading to your SkyDrive. Just a thought.

I'd just like to leave this here, in case Rin didn't get it on his MSN:

http://www.4shared.com/video/4pt0FpAK/TAKM..._encounter.html
It's the RAW-edited file for the Takumi VS Seiji encounter on PSP (Street Supremacy)

Hey, I did got it. Sorry that I didn't reply sooner.

It's a bit blurry, but I'd try and see to it happen on Day 5.

Thanks for the share. So at first Takumi go all BULLY-ISH on the first few drivers, before Seiji jumped in and started the battle, huh?

So I just wanna know...who won in the end? Seiji or Takumi? (I still can't see clearly due to my own monitor's poor lighting setting, even though I set it to the higest brightness)

First of all; my apologies on the quality/for it being too blurry. I shouldn't have added the soft border but that's the only one giving it a bit of drama & lessens the contrast without fine tuning it.

The winner was Seiji, his nose was leading a bit.


[ Post merged on Mar 29 2012, 07:37 PM ]
Also, Seiji was challenged by Takumi. If you read the synopsis post I made pages back, Seiji is testing out the customer's Evo VIII after the suspension change and he just got challenged by Takumi out of the blue. Oblivious to Takumi, he doesn't know that Seiji was driving said Evo VIII.

Ah...so that's how it triggers.

Well then, might as well put that in Day 5.

I know this belongs in the WMMT Journal Thread but... Since it's also Supido related...

I'll be completing the SEIJI FQ-600 in a little while. Going to Brisbane to avail of the $15 Speed Pack - 15 games. And Complete SEIJI. I got Aero C, all I need now is to reset the Wing. and I'm done. This will also be my last Wangan Session.

I'll make sure to make this count via perfect ghost battle win. I won't take any risks. And will be sure to see Seiji evolve intensely. THen I'll post a pic once its done - the complete SEIJI EVO VIII FQ-600MR Akiyama-Tsuchiya Fusion (Akiyama spec Color + Tsuchiya Aero)

Tomo's waiting at home in the Philippines, Daiki has said Sayonnara via Tokyo Metro TA, holding top 1 on both DX & DX+ cab, It's time to do Seiji & Keisuke (doing Keisuke Tokyo Metro TA when I return from Brisbane).

I'll end everything. TONIGHT.

Gonna go there dressed like Seiji - jeans + zipped up hoodie Jacket. (Shame it's not in red)

P.S. Typing this resolve with initial D THird stage Movie soundtracks (non eurobeat, the ones with the Piano) playing. SO EMOTIONAL!!!
