Rin + Ren Racer vs MikuMiku Racer in Super GT

Rin + Ren Racer vs MikuMiku Racer in Super GT

We heard about the racing debut of a Hatsune Miku pro-itasha recently; now the news is followed up by the debut of another Vocaloid racer, which as you can see is a Kagamine Rin/Ren themed Fairlady.

Both cars are racing in the GT300 round 9 race at the Fuji Speedway, set to commence in mere hours.

    http://supergt.net/supergt/2008/0809/0809race_e.htm Sorry to disappoint, guys. The Fairlady came in 6th in the race, 12 places above the Z4, and took the GT300 title. The result is sort of expected, considering that the Z4 in the Fuji... More

Caramelldansen Ferrari Itasha

Caramelldansen Ferrari Itasha

This looks to be one of the most stylishly realised itasha thus far seen, at least equalling the famed Hatsune Miku racer (which is now ignominiously reduced to seeking sponsorship by selling Miku goods), though still quite far behind the Macross ero-van.

Macross Ero-Itasha

Macross Ero-Itasha Extreme - Ranka Lee

This rather erotically decorated itasha, featuring not only a tastefully nude Ranka Lee posed over a prophetic remark, but also a bullet riding Sheryl Nome sure to create some uprising, looks to be the most interesting ero-sha to date.

Now updated with much more detail and even a video; the vehicle in question was unveiled at Macross Galaxy Tour Final to great interest.

Loli Ero Itasha

Loli Ero Itasha

This photo of a rather erotic itasha depicting a girl of tender years has surfaced. Driving it in public would probably incite arrest for disturbing public morals, even in Japan… Surely it is a Photoshop job?

Kyonko Itasha

Kyonko Itasha

This itasha, spotted parked in Akihabara, sports an interesting motif, incorporating as it does Kyonko, the long suffering gender swapped companion of Haruhi. Feminised Koizumi also makes an appearance.

Touhou Itasha

Touhou Itasha in Akihabara

Itasha fans seem to concentrate on bishoujo games and majokko anime, so seeing this Touhou itasha on the streets of Akihabara is something of an unusual sight. Nicely done, too.

Pantsu Mobile

Pantsu Mobile - Brazen Strike Witches Itasha

I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether the owner of this spectacularly emblazoned vehicle is brave or crazed to be seen behind the wheel of the dear witch’s striped not-pantsu. Certainly one of the more extreme examples of itasha around.

Found on the director’s blog, Vanishing Point, from a while ago when dubbing on the final episode of Strike Witches finished – I’m afraid the content is a little crude (he babbles about treading in excrement), so let us ignore it, and focus on the itasha he spotted. No wonder it took so long for this to come to light.

MikuMiku Racer Set for Super GT

MikuMiku Racer Set for Super GT

Japan’s largest sports car racing event, the Super GT, is set to see a full on itasha participant with this automobile, graced by the likeness of none other than ultimate virtual idol Hatsune Miku; the racer has just been completed (the all important chassis at least) and the photos ensuing are an impressive sight.

Eroge Itabus – Platonic Heart

Itabus / 痛バス

Cars decorated with anime artwork, itasha, may be old hat, but an air of novelty still surrounds the rare ita-bus, perhaps due to the sheer amount of photoshopped buses floating around (see below for some interesting examples, especially the Shinku Liner), outnumbering the confirmed instances by far.

However, here we have a very definitely confirmed example, and it happens to be advertising a bishoujo game and mixed media franchise, 絶対衝激～プラトニックハート～ / Zettai Shougeki – Platonic Heart. Whether we can call it an actual eroge remains to be seen, although it is certainly not lacking in pretty ladies in CG form.

Huge Itasha Convention

Fate Testarossa (itasha) at the FSW Itasha Meeting, by Ascii.jp

I couldn’t help but be astonished on seeing this enormous itasha convention (easily the largest in Japan, and also the world), the FSW Itasha Meeting, covered by Ascii.jp in detail in three parts here, here, and here. Veritable throngs were in attendance, and participation (including non-itasha observers) was around 300 vehicles, gathered from all over Japan, despite the bad weather.

All kinds of vehicles seem to be in evidence, from flatbed trucks to motorcycles, and the meet was held at a race track, the Fuji Speedway, so they naturally hit the track (great Shana paint job there), though not all look as if they belong there.

Itasha seem to be gaining prominence lately; there has been media coverage, of course they are omnipresent in Akiba, and now this. Not long before we see itasha paint jobs as options on the latest models? Still a bridge too far, I’d wager.

Itasha Mass Media Coverage

Itasha on Asahi TV, by Jabro

It seems all that hanging around in Akihabara looking for a breakdown in law and order has given the folks at Asahi TV an idea or two. Today on ナニコレ珍百景, loosely “What the hell is this, 100 views of the bizarre”, they aired a feature entitled “美少女の車軍団”, “Bishojo Car Corps”, covering the variety of itasha around – I couldn’t help but be reminded of Danny Choo’s article. This via Jabro, head on over there for more pictures.
