Akira Kaneda Special bike

IT media LifeStyle choose their own most interesting article in 2004. Their best is this, KANEDA's bike in Tokyo Motor Show. How cool! The bike is a replica of the one which Kaneda rides through Neo Tokyo 2019 in the movie Akira(Cool English fan site).This is the official bikes which is the director Katsuhiro Otomo approved, however unofficial Kaneda special bike are sold in a sort of order-made online shop already.

Anyway here is another such site Tanomi com.  On this site people request something they want, if many people assent to this request or the maker has an intereting to the orders, they will produce it. I checked some requests, and found some interesting favors.
This is a simple order in food section "I want  Gomen-ne again!". Ha! Gomen-ne was a fruit juice named I am sorry(=Gomen-ne, yes strange) and which halt in production some years ago. She wants Suntry to begin producting Gomen-ne again, and now 24 people agree to this request.  In PC section, 172 people said they want simple USB AM/FM radio, then last month it was finally released.  In health section, a girl needs sanitary napkins in a one-week pack. For day time, night time, heavy day, light day, those 4 types of napkins are packed for one week. I think this is a good idea!

Great Tip

I found the shape of Kaneda's bike is great. It is so strange to discover the way Japanese create things, they are just different from others.

I would like "Skillit" shiso-flavored mints again. When I went to Japan in May, I discovered them. They were gel capsules that dissolved then released the tasty flavor of akashiso into your mouth. They were very refreshing. (They looked somewhat like ikura. Maybe that made people think they would taste mazui or something.) But when I went back in November, they were already discontinued. Shoganai. I guess when you find something you really like, you have to buy a lot before it is gone from the market, ne?

it was more than the shape which made Kaneda's bike the bomb..but it would still be fun to shoot around town on that little rocket, as long as there were no clowns around to ruin the fun. I LOVED Gomen-ne, I just thought the local stores stopped carrying it, like they do the Mitsuya cider every once in awhile ( But Calpis is forever). I also liked the little packages of suntory candies that tasted like the soft drinks..heh.. I remember the Gomen-ne candy..had a little rabbit (usagi) on the wrapper. Man...I'm simple. meh.. what would even be cooler is a USB radio built into the sanitary napkins, and then custom music for heavy days, light days, you know..like Opera for those "drama-queen-not-so-fresh" days...nothing says heavy flow like Pavarotti. :D
