Yesterday evening was a sad one: I read Alexi's latest post on Nori Yaho and discovered the Haruna tofushop (aka the Fujiwara tofushop in Initial D) has been demolished:

Fujiwara Tofushop was once here...
Where you see that big empty space in the picture above, used to be the shop as shown in the picture below:

Fujiwara Tofushop in its full glory
Sad, sad, sad....

So, Bunta now has enough space to park the Toyota Ipsum (Picnic). :D

You can read all the details about Alexi's trip to Mount Haruna on Nori Yaro.

I came accross this image on Mattari's blog and it reminded me of the Toyota Ipsum posting I made a year ago...

Initial D replica in front of the Tofu Shop
Too bad the video has been removed now... In a nutshell: it contained another Fujiwara Tofu replica parked in front of the tofu shop and in the background a Toyota Ipsum (Picnic outside Japan) was parked next to the tofu shop on the same spot the AE86 used to be parked... So apparently Bunta has sold the Ipsum! :D

Anyway, below this picture there was a whole (2chan) thread copied in which a couple of users wrote a funny Initial D spoof! I advice you to go to Mattari's blog and read the whole story (with Google Translate for instance)! ;)

Now this is a real happy meal: this guy eats his Mc Donalds meal while drifting the Ebisu North course! Not only does he eat it on the straights, but he also does it Bunta style and picks up and returns his milkshake into the cupholder! Now that is EPIC!

Now if only he could pick up his order on the drive through this way! :D

Also check out his extensive (and humorous) report on this trick on Youtube.

I already saw this news on Failblog last week and apparently a woman who loves tofu ordered a personalized license plate with ILVTOFU and the DMV objected her request for obvious reasons:

So tofu is obscene all of a sudden? Would it be obscene to cook a deep fried tofu Oden soup together with your dog?

(yes I really love cooking with dog!)
And it gives a whole new dimension to Takumi Fujiwara doing nightly tofu deliveries. Would be be a pimp then? And his father a brothel owner because he runs a tofu shop?

Would that mean that Iketani asking for deep fried tofu is asking to be fucked really deep then?

Last week I already added the first Initial D flash game. This new one is even more crappier, however it is backed up by Newgrounds so apparently there should be some quality in it. ;)
