Honda's electric scooter "SC e" showcased at Tokyo Motor Show 2023

Honda unveiled the SC e: electric scooter idea at the ongoing Japan Mobility Show (commonly known as the Tokyo Motor Show). The SC e: concept appears to be similar to the EM 1e: e-scooter currently on the market in Europe. However, it appears to be a larger size than the EM 1e:. The SC e: concept, according to Honda, has two replaceable battery packs with a capacity of ‘about 1.3kWh’ apiece.…

I opened my phone and found a game I pre-registered months ago! It's called "Tokyo Debunker"!

Have you guys seen those creepy ads of a video game that looked like pkmn rip-offs called "Evertal*le"? This is one of their game and the ad caught me so I went for it. I was expecting a pixel-game but, uh, well, it's not TT-TT)... They tend to make misleading ads but this? I got caught by this...

It's more like a VN... BUUUUT it didn't disappointment me in and it served surprisingly well too!

THE PREMISE

Supernatural cases in Tokyo alongside devilish ghouls and quirky cats!

At the prestigious Darkwick Academy, your untily classmates have sold their souls to demons in exchange for a wish... and you'll have to find a way to make them work together to solve supernatural cases all over Tokyo. If you get stuck, you can always turn Darkwick's clever cat familiars for their supports!

It's comes with variety of gameplay modes!

Facilities building where your classmates can work and allows you to interact with them or read a conversation of your other classmates;

It have an "investigation" which is an... auto-turn-based battle mode. You just have to brainwork with their skills and equipments;

As bonus, it have a rhythm game! It's pretty easy since it's linear and you have to tap to allow the cat to turn around. You get 3 tries and is available for later!;

It also have co-op kode but I haven't tried yet!

Now let's start with opening!

As you can see on the imagine above, there are seven characters with each different uniform! Each of them are the leader of each "Houses".

Dark Blue: Frostheim || Yellow: Vagastrom

Orange: Jabberwock (and they have an axolotl in their emblem!!! ♡♡♡) || Dark red: Sinostra

Lilac: Hotarubi || Violet: Obscuary || Green: Mortkraken

The game will make you choose "who will you save"? It have a total of 7 houses with minimum 2 to 4 members. With Frostheim the with 4 members and Mortkraken with only 2! Obscuary is a particular one since it only shows one of its member! Once chosen a house, you will choose a character who will appear in the prolouge.

Aaaaand, yeah. The houses will be mentioned few chapters later :3

I won't spoil much but I can say that despite how lighthearted this this game is later... it knows how to jumpscare :)

And we go with Chapter 1

!!!UNDER THE CUT WILL BE A SLIGHT SPOILER TERRITORY!!!

!!!PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!

Aye! The MC here! They're female in illustration but I prefer calling them in GN! term and named them "Lucien"! We are in a train after a music concert. The chatroom with the people we went in left the chat and only us and another person, Mina, remain. Turns out we're both in the same train too so we decide to meet up!

A moment after the train arrived at the stop...but it's not ours...

Kisaragi Station? The creepypasta °0°)!?! (/j)

So, we're now in another stop... and found ourselves in an eerie place... And an unknown number calls us. Whether we pick it up or hang down, Mina will text us...

Mina makes her way in our car. We look at the number... 7... the door slides wide open but nothing's there other than darkness. Until someone whispers in our ears.

Gehehehe. I'm not gonna show you the whole thing in case you want to see it yourself!

I cut the spoiler of this chapter here but I'll give you preview of other shots because they are gorgeous!

Asgqhdhahs THE GALAXY ILLUSTRATION SOLD ME EVEN MORE WHAT FOLLOWED—

WE HAVE A CAT WITH A HAT FOR A CONDUCTOR 😭💕✨️

And this few panels! It's not much but I wanted to show how the writing and illustration doesn't shy away from showing blood and swearing! (Note: that guy used those mirror shards as the ammo for his gun btw... pretty rad.) So far, it's fully-voiced too!

Anyways, supernatural, eldritch beings, monsters? Check! They're very creative on it uwu). Good writing? Yaah! The art? Beautiful! Good humor? Nyah! (^=w=^)b

As said before, I'm not far in the story yet. I hope to see more creepy and cool stuffs but the daylight story isn't bad either! The characters have personality. Even MC had a good impression on me. They are down-to-earth and is quick at picking up to things happening around despite the sudden event in their life.

The only sad thing is... they all have body shapes... like... um... twink shaped in their 2-D.... and only one "dark-skinned" character 🥲... usgjqhsqj the Ad*nis Ot*gari of the game 🫠🫠🫠 I think he's cool and adorable tho! He went to the academy to search for his twin brother.

No romance, just classmates being sillies(/affectionate) going around to solve the supernatural in order to mantain the world's order.

The game is rated 16+ so I'm not sure if I'll post much about this here. I just wanted to show in case someone's interested!

The illustrations really do well at gorgeous scenes and at eerie scenes.

Audi Avus 

Named after a race track in Berlin, the Avus was not only Audi’s way of previewing its W12 engine and aluminum-intensive construction, but it was also a sign of things to come in terms of a mid-engine supercar.It stole the show back in 1991 in Tokyo with its beautifully crafted body with hand-beaten panels, which were only 1.5-mm thick and were left unpainted as a nod to the Auto Union race cars of the 1930s. The retro twist created a wonderful mélange with the concept’s futurist shape, managing to withstand the test of time as it still looks spectacular even after a 32 years.Thanks to the aluminum-intensive construction and the proprietary Audi Space Frame, the all-wheel-drive Avus Quattro tips the scales at a remarkably low 1,250 kilograms (2,755 pounds). It granted the supercar with a sprint to 62 mph (100 kph) in just three seconds before reaching a top speed of 334 kph (210 mph).However, these are all just hypothetical performance numbers because the concept did not actually have a real W12 6.0-liter engine developing 502 horsepower (374 kilowatts). At that point, Audi was still developing its twelve-cylinder unit, so the Avus actually had a dummy engine carved from wood and plastic.

Even so, it was a marvelous piece of engineering, with three lockable differentials, rear-wheel steering, and a NACA-style duct mounted on the roof. Another interesting aspect is the fact about half of the car’s height was represented by the 20-inch wheels and its tires.

The Avus Quattro concept was never destined to enter production and rumor has it Audi even turned down offers from at least a dozen of potential customers willing to pay as much as $12 million for a road-going version.

Should you want to check it out in all of its mirror-like aluminum body glory, Audi has the Avus Quattro concept on display at its museum in Ingolstadt, Germany.

Subaru Impreza Electra One.

Super weapon Impreza Electra One armed with powerful aero

<First> The base is the STi version VI

<And> Limited time sale instead of limited number

<Also> Price is expected to be around 3.5 million yen

<Note> The exterior will be slightly changed

Various types of WRC-related special versions have been released so far, starting with the WRX STi version that can be said to be synonymous with the Impreza, which will undergo its first full model change in September. WRC Makes title won,

The V Limited, a commemorative model of the Colin McRae Champion, and the Limited Series, which are still on sale today, have been released almost every year. It can be said that the ultimate model is the 22B, which has the same width of 1770m as the WR car. This is a special model (released in 1989) that is coveted by enthusiasts.

However, until now, all the special versions of the Impreza have been related to the WRC, but this time it's a bit different. The impreza is finished with a racy feel, showing its extraordinary potential in circuit races, such as in the Super N1 endurance race.

It is That is the Impreza Electra One introduced this time. The Impreza has a strong image of the WRC, so it may feel a little different, but it has been decided that it will make its debut in early April as the model that decorates the end of the special version of the current Impreza! Impreza Electra one

individuality that draws a line

creates an atmosphere.

Attention 1

Fierce front mask

The biggest feature is the round 4 headlights of the projector. The front mask that makes you imagine a ferocious cat-like animal is impressive. Wide open bonnet air intake, ultra-large air dam bumper is also a masterpiece

SMALL PIC CAPTION

Road version of this coming.

This is the GT Championship version exhibited at the Tokyo Motor Show. This one is more flashy, but this time it will be marketed with practicality!

COMING SOON.

Coming soon

5 new cars.

Announced in early April

It was exhibited as a reference at the Auto Salon. The concept of the Tokyo Motor Show version was that it was a GT machine for participating in the popular race, the JGTC (All Japan GT Championship). However, since this car was a racing machine, the practicality of the aero parts as a commercial car was disregarded, so it was unrealistic. The Auto Salon version brought it closer to a commercially available model. Look at this exterior! It radiates a powerful force that can be said to be more ferocious than any other domestically produced vehicle that has debuted so far. Exterior tuning that is a bit different from WRC.

Attention 2

Side view like a racing machine

Adoption of projector type independent round 4 headlights, hyena, lynx and

the animal that went

reminiscent of fearless

Front mask is unique claim. One

once you see it you forget Impreza.

a typical face.

A front bumper spoiler integrated with a large air dam, side skirts that stand out on purpose, a towering rear spoiler (the same type as the limited series), and a rear bumper that can be said to be the same as a racing machine. Adoption of 17-inch tires for the first time in the Impreza is also fully conceivable. However, it will not be marketed as it is, and it seems that some shape etc. will be changed.

The base STi version show model was equipped with a high-power ECU, so more than 280 horsepower was expected, but there were no changes to the engine specs, and it remained at 280 horsepower/3500km.

The price is around 3.5 million yen, which is about 500,000 yen higher than the base model.

It will be for a limited period rather than a limited number of units, and BC expects the period to be three months from April to June.

The side skirts show a rather racy finish. Adoption of 17-inch tires is also fully possible. The overall length may be slightly longer depending on the shape of the aero parts.

Attention 3

Rear view with presence

The rear has a different impact than the front. Race

The rear bumper that can be said to be the engine itself is cool.

A large diameter muffler is also installed. The rear spoiler is the same type as the limited series

“Design that inspires”

1996 Subaru SVX🇯🇵

The Giugiaro-designed SVX, short for “Subaru Vehicle X,” replaced the aging and angular XT Coupe and gave Subaru buyers a chance to own a true concept car. Introduced at the 1989 Tokyo Auto Show, the SVX’s slippery lines and “aircraft-inspired glass-to-glass canopy” were striking, mirroring designs kept mostly to Italian exotics. The unconventional window-within-a-window was carried over from the concept car, though many owners were puzzled as to what purpose it truly served.

Available since September 2’nd for “No Limits” and “All Inclusive” tiers exclusively.

Model with HQ interior, open/close doors, trunk and functional light.

Daihatsu P-5X and P-5, 1967/8. When they were still an independent company, before Toyota to them over in 1969, Daihatsu fielded a sports racing car. First shown as the P-5X at the 14th Tokyo Motor Show, the P-5 car won its class, and finished tenth overall in the 1968 Japan Grand Prix. It was powered by a rear mounted twin carburettor DOHC 1.3 litre 4 cylinder engine that produced 140hp. The No. 15 car was restored for the 2019 Tokyo Auto Salon

9 p.m. on a saturday night. you inside the near empty office building. tinted glass windows blocking any view to the outside world as if the roaming people down the 100 floor building would be able to see what you and the others were up to.

families, couples, friend groups littered the busy streets of Tokyo. free from work and school, people were out tonight having a gala time, enjoying all the fun Japan's largest city had to offer.

100 floors up the ground level you blocked the oncoming kick, shoes squeaking against the marble flooring, heating up from the fiction. 

lights dim, the room almost dark and the smoke bomb you had just thrown made the visibility even lower. taking advantage of the situation, you unsheathed your sword and ran through the smoke. bless your perfect vision because you cut through half your opponents as you run with the blade in your hand. 

just as always, blood splattered on your face and dark clothes and screams of pain faded eventually. you were sent here to kill the women but had to deal with her minions first. 

you barely hear the footsteps approaching you. they were so faint, if you weren't paying close attention you wouldn't have heard them at all.

punching the man in front of you straight to his gut, you take a quick look behind you— not wanting to deal with more back up.

you do a double take, convinced the smoke deceived your eyes because you could make it out to be him just by the familiar silhouette.

a semi-auto pistol in his hand, he makes his way right in front of you. turning his body with his broad back facing your front, he shoots the rest of your opponents while you just gawk at the long black hair, tied in a high ponytail, swaying from his head. unbothered by the constant gunshots but just the mere sight of him has you frozen.

"you just gonna watch the show or actually finish your mission?" he spoke up, and it was that exact deep voice you had fallen in love with that brought you out of your trance.

long black hair, deep voice, the same fragrance of that cologne. he stood right in front of you after 7 months of radio silence from each other. well more from him than from you.

keisuke baji.

after the initial shock had worn out, memories of what happened before and what didn't happen during these 7 months flooded your brain and you found your blood boiling again.

but right now wasn't the time. even though you didn't need his help, you weren't gonna lie, it did make your work easier. if he deals with these unnecessary problems you can deal with the actual problem.

refilling your own pistol, you make your way towards the target hiding somewhere on this floor.

—

walking over the dead bodies splayed out on the floor like some random obstacles, you walk straight towards the exit of the office room. mission completed successfully, now you can go back to the headquarters, take your payment and enjoy the night at your home.

"(name)," baji tries to get your attention.

but somebody is here to ruin your night.

you simply ignore him. keeping your head high and back straight, your boots make a click clack sound against the blood covered floor.

"(name) please, just listen to me." he requests but he should know, this won't work now. 

"c'mon (nick-name), i know you can hear me." and just as you are about to grasp the door handle he comes in front of you, blocking your path.

you turn your head away, not in the mood for this. not right now. you were exhausted.

"(name), please. please just listen to me. i know you are mad and yes you deserve to be but things aren't-"

"save it baji." you cut him off, tone laced with venom. "i don't wanna hear it. you did what you had to do. now leave me alone."

"baji? so now we are on last name basis?" you don't reply. and even if you did sense the hurt in his voice you didn't think much of it.

he sighed. "i can't- you can't expect me to just up and leave?"

you let out a dry laugh, "isn't that exactly what you did 7 months ago?"

"i- things were different back then (name). it was for a mission. it hurt me just as much as it hurt you."

"yeah and yet i was the only one trying to mend our dwindling friendship."

"i have a job, (name). it demands me to make rough and sometimes unethical decisions. you know i don't mean them." 

"you do realise we have the same job right? don't preach to me about unethical shit. i don't- i have never EVER FUCKING LIED TO YOU KEISUKE BAJI! I HAVE NEVER USED YOU FOR PERSONAL BENEFITS! I HAVE NEVER USED YOUR TRUST FOR ANY OF MY MISSIONS NO MATTER WHAT!"

that shut him up. he didn't speak, neither did you.

it felt good to finally let it all out. it had been hurting you all this while. and even though seeing him sad never made you happy but right now, it did ease your aching heart that he got to feel at least a fraction of your pain.

"you are right. i am sorry." he looked like a lost puppy. no, a wet kitten would fit him more. but ignoring the apology you ask the question that you'd wanted to ask from the start.

"why did you come here anyway? the mission was assigned to me. you came here to save the damsel from distress?"

"what- no never. i- i know you can handle yourself and your missions just fine. i was just-"

"trying to find a way to become the hero? and then magically wipe off everything you did?"

silence filled the room. you just now realised how creepily quiet it was up here. and that it was only your voices filling the pin drop silence. 

"are you fucking kidding me?" you spoke. "you think this is some type of romance movie? God, sometimes i don't believe you."

"but i care about you! i was worried for your safety. this was a high rank mission too and you were alone!" he argued.

"you doubting me, baji keisuke?" you raised your eyebrow, daring him.

"ok ok, fine. but at least cut with the "baji" bullshit. that's not my name!"

"it is though." you don't look at him.

"yeah- well-" he groans. "pleassseeee i am sorry okayyyy."

"please please please." he makes pouty faces.

"please uwu." he plays with his index fingers looking up at you through his lashes.

"baji-" you laugh but get mad at him for making you laugh.

"stop with that. stop whining, you aren't a 5 year old- KEISUKE!" you smack his shoulder hard.

"ouch- aaaah there she is!" he grins triumphantly.

"fuck you." 

"i am gonna need the date, time and venue, gorgeous." he opens the notes app in his phone, looking at you.

"are you seriously flirting with me right now? and right here of all places?"

"fits our personalities, i'd say." he shrugs, fangs adorning his highly tinted pink lips.

you took your time taking in his features. and somehow even though you have a crush on him for years, you only now truly realise just how attractive he is. just how hot he looks. and just how hot he makes your skin. maybe it's just the hormones. you turn your gaze away instantly for the thoughts had started to turn a little inappropriate if you catch the drift.

"drop the act keisuke. you have five minutes to tell me the whole truth if you actually wanna fix things. i have not forgiven you yet." you cross your arms, tapping your foot as you look at him with your signature no-bullshit face you use with your underclass people and rivals.

he heaves out a sigh. with no more escape and a huge risk of losing his friendship and you, he spills out all the details of why he did, what he did. and as the curtains shift from the truth you realise how it all was a part of the plan. still you don't like how he played with your emotions, though the plan wasn't in his control though. although you were mad at him, you trust him enough to know he would never purposefully hurt you in any way.

frankly you are happy that you can get your keisuke back because no matter how mad you are, you can't deny how much he means to you and how much in love with him you are.

"you know, you could have told me about this and all this would have never happened. there wouldn't have been any misunderstandings if only you had trusted me more."

"i do! i do trust you, (name). i was just bound by the contracts. and man do i hate the kind off stuff." he grumbles.

"whatever happened in the past is past now and i forgive you. but, keisuke baji, let me make this very clear— this will be the last time you lie to me." you state, voice firm and unwavering. eyes glinting with a warning sign.

"yes ma'am." he salutes.

"but, i need you to have a little more faith in me too." he requests. and you agree, so you nod.

"(name), i am genuinely sorry for everything." he walks closer to you. he holds you by your shoulders and looks into your eyes. "i would never do anything like this, not unless we have talked about this before. i should have known how it could have affected our relationship. i was wrong. i admit it. but please don't go away from me. you mean so much to me you have no idea."

you are a hardened assassin. you have done many wrong and unethical things too. you have used people to complete your missions. you have had fake relationships, sex, one night stands, etc. for the sake of your work. and yet it takes one look from those brown eyes and your resolve snaps and dissolves into nothingness.

you push him against the door he had blocked your exit from. and as if he knew, this would happen as if he was planning on it, he jumps right into it quickly. his arms wrap around you as you smash your lips into his. eyebrows furrowing you press him harder against the metal as he pulls you into him even closer. 

tilting your heads again you suck on his lips, drinking in the taste and that has your head spinning. you let out a moan in sync with the groan that escapes him when you bite down on him. 

he quickly changes the position and this time slams you against the door, using his fangs to give you the taste of your own medicine. but you don't let him get any further as you change the positions yet again.

"it's my time to take out the pent up anger. so don't you interfere, pretty boy." you growl. you words leave baji gawking because he has never been so turned on before.

Starting in 1990, Veilside began creating custom made to order body kits for a number of vehicles. They soon began to gain traction at shows like the Tokyo Auto Salon where their builds won many awards. Veilside was also one of the first companies to offer a custom kit for the Nissan 350z that had released in 2003. Veilside is also well known for providing cars for the Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift movie in 2006.

It’s hard to just choose one but here are each of these builds in order of appearance; Porsche 911, Toyota MR2, Nissan Skyline GT-R, Toyota Celica, Mazda Miata, Acura NSX, Nissan 350z, and Toyota Supra.
