Racing Miku Itasha!

Miku Itasha? That’s pretty normal right now… But a race-car Miku Itasha? Now THAT’s amazing! How did it come to this? Well, thanks to dtshyk, here’s the translated dialog…

Chief: “Does anyone have a novel idea for the team concept?”
Manager Kiyo-san: “How about ‘Itasha’?”
Chief: “Adopted!”
Jun-san: “Which character should we choose?”
Kiyo-san: “The licence handling will be troublesome if we choose ‘Haruhi Suzumiya no Yuutsu’ or ‘Lucky Star’ or ‘THE iDOLM@STER'”.
Ue-san: “Why not Hatsune Miku!”
Kiyo-san: “Good idea! We can celebrate her birthday by GT racing!

  1. Japan never fails to impress me xD They look like they’re having a lot of fun! All the staffs must love that car very much xDD It will be more amusing if the driver is listening to Miku’s song (Miku2 ni Shiteageru?) while driving xD

  2. Yeah, it’s awesome xD
    LOL, I don’t think so but it’d be so amusing if the driver is driving while listening to a Miku song xD
    if they win the GT, it’d be a perfect birthday present for Miku =3
