Initial D: Initial D World Eurobeat shoutcast stream

July 17, 2008 / / 0 Comments

During programming at work I like to listen to some music because I can concentrate more and it makes me focus much more upon the progamming instead of being distracted by colleagues.

Today I really was looking for some Super Eurobeat because I needed to speed up the typing even more… So I started looking for an Eurobeat shoutcast stream. Then I discovered Initial D World opened a shoutcast stream featuring Eurobeat on the 16th of April last year. Talk about nice birthday present more than a year afterwards. ;)

They say that Eurobeat will be broadcasted at least 12 hours a day between 4:00 AM ~ 4:00 PM PST, and the rest of the time it will be filled up with DJ sets and some other music whenever needed. Currently it should be Trance and Eurobeat, however I currently only hear Eurobeat…

This is their current schedule:

Initial D: GBA Initial D game movies

July 12, 2008 / / 0 Comments

Aah, I still remember having the Initial D game on the GBA emulator… I tried and tried to remember all options, figure out what the best option per corner would be. But I sucked soooo hard at this game I gave up after trying it for a day or something.

It’s great to see some people collected their walkthough on Youtube now! Take this Keisuke vs Takumi walkthrough for instance:

I love the oldschool GBA music (mostly Eurobeat in sid/gsf/chiptune) and the graphics are very nicely animated as well! Those Wantanabes are really well done!

This is a lot better than those crappy Initial D flashgames I collected. ;)

Some other videos:

Japan Classic Sunday pictures

July 9, 2008 / / 0 Comments

I finally uploaded all photos I shot at the Japan Classic Sunday 2008 last sunday!

Too bad I started chatting too much and didn’t shoot much pictures. I planned to do so, but all of a sudden most cars disappeared because they attended the tour around the area. So after a while me and they other AEU86 guys decided to join the tour as well.

After the tour I had to go home and I did not have any time left to shoot some more photos. :(

I will highlight the event later, and hopefully with some borrowed pics. ;)

Anyway, you can find most photos I shot here:

Video: Japanese 1986 Celica advertisement #3

July 1, 2008 / / 0 Comments

I found this 1986 Celica advertisement on Youtube:

It features the TA64 Celica which surprises me: the A6 Celica wasn’t sold after 1985, so why advertise with the archaic (in that era of course!) A6 triumphs instead of the new FWD or AWD Celicas, or could it be that the AWD Celicas didn’t hit the market by then?
