Initial D.

One by one, they kept on telling me

To see what all the fuss was about.

I looked at his smug expression,

Irritated beyond belief.

I can’t learn anything from such a character.

“No, you have to try. Watch this guy and you’ll understand.”

Flashing = Do you want a card? I don’t think I’ll need it.

Holding the steering wheel, I tilted my head in apathy. Just do it and get over it.

“Stop your self control…” the song pumped inside of me,

until it took hold of my whole body.

You want to make it to the end, honey.

Locked in place,

Pressing the accelerator.

Don’t be left behind.

You know how to turn, damn it!

Taunting me in a language I was just learning.

He talks too fast, but that voice.  Oh…wow...

It’s just a computer, why are you excited?

Feeling the heat, the apex was approaching,

“What? Did you say to drift???”

I lost and a sweat drop went down my face

as I bit my lip.

“What’s that guy’s name again?”

“Takahashi Ryousuke.”

I bought a card for this dangerous machine

called “Initial D”.

Years later, it still feels like the first time

we battled.  *wink*
