Hate to rain on your parade but Tsuchiya kinda blows at drifting. If he were to enter D1 he wouldnt get very far.

Well what christian says does have some merit, Tsuchiya is a quick driver no doubt about that, but i rarely see him drift D1 style, he drifts to get around some turns faster, but i don't really see him as a completely sideways kind of guy.
Tsuchiya can drift, but he drifts for speed, exhibition drifters drift to get sideways, i think there's gotta be a distinction drawn between the two.

yeah dude Tsuchiya INVENTED drifting for god's sake
I mean....Drift 'bible', Tsuchiya is your 'god' and drifting is your 'religion'
come on Tsuchiya doesn't drift D1 style cause he's too good it...he's the JGTC Arta NSX driver, he won friggin' Lemans, D1 is totally beneath him!

AE86's can beat Evos, Skylines, and RX7's if driven by a teenage tofu delivery guy you know.
It was never his driving that helped him. It was the Fujiwara Tofu Shop logos on his car. Haha.
BTW, I've used had handle name on the internet on boards I frequent since 2000 and it was ironic that I chose to drive an Impreza now, GC no less. For anyone who's keeping up with the latest issues of the manga would know the story behind it.

well so far i've only seen the first season (or stage one) it's a 3 disc japanese import with subtitles. so they all have thier true names. I still think the music blows though.
Hopefully i'll be getting the second one by the end of this week or maybe the next.

Re: American version music...
HORRIBLE! My God! It's like they found the first rice hip-hopper that could speak English and told him to make the worst product he possibly could. I'll take the somewhat cheesy techno from the Japanese version any day over that garbage.
So Bushido... Lemme get this right, you got a three disc set with 27 episodes on it? Because right now I've been buying the recently released ones which only have 3 episodes on each disc. This is not only pricey, but also annoying having to wait such a long time in between release dates. Have you see other copies of this on E Bay? Thanks for any info...
