oh and go off on koyo

 

Good find. Fleshes it out more than I did

As a complete non-sequitir, my favorite Japanese electronics chain is Sakura-ya, or "Cherry Blossom House". The one in Shinjuku is 8 stories of electronics madness, with every floor a different theme (i.e. cell phones on the ground floor, video on 2F, audio on 3F, videogames on 4F, appliances on 5F, etc.)

 

i went there

there are a few places that are like that in shinjuku

 

why not? they got to choose a color. better controversial than boring, isn't the
kind of car sti is?

 

it is cherry blossom, that is traditional japanese. japan is known for their cherry blossoms. just like subaru means stars in the sky, thats where the stars came from.

 

Subaru is actually the Japanese name for the Pleiades constellation, which consists of six stars in a formation that has become the basis for the Subaru logo.

The Japanese word for star is actually "hoshi"

 

i guess i broke it down to much choku on the stars thing, thanks for your information. i am learning alot from my girlfriend who is japanese and we were talking about it and she told me what it meant but basically was stars, made myself look like a tard haha.

 

No worries. It's good that you're learning Japanese!

 

pink is hawt!!

 

I've wondered what the symbolism of the Subrau emblem was about. The Pleiades is one of the coolest things in the sky, especially when viewed with a good pair of 15X70 binos. My question now is: why the Pleiades? What is the reason for picking this particular constellation for the Subaru emblem?

When I popped the hood of the WRX the first time, I actually told the salesman the engine looked like it had been retro-engineered from alien technology.

 

What some people don't realize is that the Pleiades is a seven star constellation.

Maybe they just wanted to be different from eveybody else and besides what's more embarassing than getting beat by a pink car? I wouldn't know because my sti is a MONSTER!

I would post pictures but my it says that the file is too big.

 

Good read pleiad7! I knew about the 6 divisions of FHI but I didn't know that it was a personal thing for Kita Kenji

 

Thanks, pleiad7!
