Yes, this is a real thing. Ryosuke Takahashi's Fastest Typing-theory came out in Japan in the year 2000 for PC, Mac, and PlayStation 2. Drift racing, non-stop eurobeat, and typing tutor combined!

The company that currently owns the rights to Initial D's music claimed all rights to my original upload and then slapped a copyright claim on it. I disputed it in every way I could, but they still refused to lift the claim, saying that it wasn't fair use.
I would have dealt with it and left it up had they not proceeded to disable all embedding of the video, applied a bunch of restrictions on who could watch it around the world, and also added forms of advertising I am not okay with.
So that's why I've reuploaded this with the gameplay's background music removed. I also took the opportunity to add in a small section comparing it to Mavis Beacon's driving minigame, because why not. Thanks for the understanding, copyright claims are annoying!

Makes sense the second game was called -Second Stage- cause that is also the name of the second season of the anime series.
(Highly recommended anime BTW. The music is awesome and completely fit the action scenes. And the characters are quirky and they do all sort off weird special tricks during the races. I laughed my ass of watching the first season. (later seasons become more serious though) And I have absolutely nothing with cars. Don't even have a licence (age 46) )

Ahh har so that-s what happened, not nearly as exciting as 2 desperate initial d reviews, but hey version 2. 0 after also catching 1. 0 pre copyright is a pretty good bonus! Nice one and love your work!
It-s just Too bad the current owners aren-t more interested in getting all the (up to date) initial d stuff out to the o/s markets instead of fluffing with oldskool copyrights.

At first I thought this is a new Initial D typing game. Then I quickly realised this is the same game then I read the description and your first comment to find that this is a re-upload due to copyright sh-t. I watched anyway to find which scene was altered because of the music and which scene was added. I was not disappointed and highly amused: ) Thanks, Clint!

I love that (despite your name) you didn't do the lazy thing that many game reviewers do when they are faced with a foreign game and just say -I have no idea what any of this says. - Taking the time to understand what is written down gives so much better of a review experience, even for something so odd and out of nowhere as this. Really sets you apart!

That sucks that they went out of their way to take down the original video.
If you want more anime typing games, there is a series of Fists of the North Star typing games. And yes, you do make people explode

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is gonna be running 3 Honda Civic's with spoon engines. On top of that he just came into Harry's and ordered 3 t66 turbo's with NOS and a Motec System Exhaust.

Anyone have the original video? If so mass re-upload it at spots like Vimeo or Dailymotion or the Internet Archive. I hope something horrible happens at the Creative Music Group headquarters like say a fire.

I know Edutainment month is over, but here's an idea. I didn't see it on your list of videos, but it's one I spent many hours on. Gizmos and Gadgets. I saw that Pushing up Roses did a video on it.

damn, copy right strike and adds? lol, I am going to strike this video for you having a hand and 5 fingers, I too have those! But if you start displaying adds for Hemorrhoids Cream 5000, I'll let it -slide-
