A Rendition? Hardly.

Thanks to the bunch of chocolates I ate yesterday, I am down with a serious sore throat today and for the next few days. This is annoying because then I would be restricted to only healthy dietarian food. Not that I hate salads and oil-less meals, I still think, damn those infectious chocolates. A few more days later will be the official big release of Initial D The Movie. Coincidently, I have a couple of calls from friends to hang. As much as I like going out with good people, I will murder anyone who intend to trick me into watching the Taiwanese singer in action. Come on give me a break. What was Andrew Lau thinking of when he delegated the rapper the leading role of Fujiwara? I don’t have enough time to tell you what is wrong with the arrangement. So here is my very brief analysis. First, he does not bear any resemblance to the young big eyed cartoon character. Next, in movie and in reality, he does not exhibit Fujiwara’s confident yet humble nature. Last, what is with that dreadful side parting? Can someone who is fair headed fill me in?
For most of the posters that you see in and out of theaters of the cast, you might have noticed that very some with “Fujiwara’s” head resting on the side door of his Toyota 86. Pretty cool, though definitely a very bad impersonation of the non-slacker good looking character. You can check out the website too, it’s almost like his bones are really frail because he is always leaning onto something. Anyhow, here is a nice picture of the character.	The original Fujiwara Takumi
Don’t get me wrong, I do not hate that multi-talented entertainer. I just cannot find anything to like about the performer and I definitely cannot see the connection between him and the well-liked anime character. I am currently watching Initial D Forth Stage if you must know. I like Fujiwara and Ryosuke, who has a sense of extreme judgment. Needless to say for the chap who is acting as Ryosuke, again a very bad impression. And I thought Ryosuke is supposed to be older. So to all my female friends out there who are ready to marry Jay anytime (and a very small minority of the opposite species better known as JC look-alikes), here’s a tip if you are planning to catch the movie, “Don’t watch the anime series at all, trust me (:p).” And to all fellow Initial D fans and the rest of us out there, do what you always do (:D), concentrate on the cars and of course, the action packed dogfight.
