'Drift King Shutokou Battle 2: Tsuchiya Keiichi & Bandou Masaaki'

[SFC] [JAPAN] [MAGAZINE] [1995]

"Keiichi Tsuchiya (土屋圭市, Tsuchiya Keiichi, born January 30, 1956) is a Japanese professional race car driver. He is known as the Drift King (ドリキン, Dorikin) for his nontraditional use of drifting in non-drifting racing events and his role in popularizing drifting as a motorsport. In professional racing, he is a two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans class winner and the 2001 All Japan GT Championship runner-up. He is also known for touge driving. The car he drives, a Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno, has become one of the most popular sports cars; the car is also known as "Hachi-Roku" in Japan (hachi-roku meaning "eight-six"); his car is also called "The Little Hachi that could." A 2-part video known as 'The Touge' produced by Pluspy (styled as +P) documents Tsuchiya's touge driving with his AE86. He was a consultant for the popular manga and anime series, Initial D, of which the main character Takumi Fujiwara is a character which describes him. He also served as a stunt coordinator and stuntman on The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, where he also made a cameo appearance." ~Wikipedia

Far Removed EP

====

Shoegaze / alt rock band from Dallas. Formed back in 2013. This type of music to me is really nostalgic and something that I would see live consistently when I was younger going to shows all the time. I wouldn't necessarily know the band going in, but would instantly become a fan after watching them play. This EP is really consistent all the way through--no filler music and no skips. I also went in and listened to their top tracks and they are a really tight technical music group. The vocals in 'Nodding Off' reminds me alot of Chino. Love it.
