tiger YAMATO / SOUND

There is this kind of standard thing called the R series, but this time we've turned the stock R1 into a real Beamer. However, my beloved car, a Gloria Grand Tourismo, had a gasket freeze, and the engine blew out. I had to decomission her. The result of the work that I rebuilt amidst my grief is this R10k. I want people to think about my Grand Tourismo while the play this song! Next time I'll be breaking into the Y series (if you're supposed to get it, you probably already do). The next song will be Y31.

VJ GYO / MOVIE

Hmm ... so it's another song about his Grand Tourismo eh ... Nevertheless, it's a song born fream the sadness surrounding a decomissioned car ... It's a much lighter, cheery techno-poppy song than any of the other R-series songs. It's kind of hooked into that ambient techno-pop feeling, where it's like your floating around in the sky above China, so we decided on a kind of poppy light pink image character. Goli says he wanted to draw a character that made him want to eat nikuman whenever he saw her ... I guess the humour value is the main point here. (For more information about this character, please look in the Q&A section.) tiger-san doesn't seem to have seen this movie, but he's already announced the name of his next song ... Why is it gonna be "Y" ... ... ... do you guys get it?

4TH STYLE Q&A CORNER EXCERPT

Q11) What's the name of the character wearing the Chinese-style clothes in R10K?

Well, it's from a picture tiger YAMATO-san drew for the movie, but it became something totally different ... Hmm, what should we do ... When I saw the Chinese clothes design, it said "tora yamato" ... What was I supposed to think! Her name is Tora Yamato [tora is Japanese for tiger]. It looks like the name hit a little too close for him ...
