OTHER6? I'M CLOSING-

I'm going to do something a bit personal for the next ten bonus pages and tell the tale of the Suzuka Circuit grand prix I went to on September ?th. As it happened, I caught a cold two days before. I ran a high fever, but I managed to make it to the Suzuka Circuit anyway. I'd been to several car races, but this was my first motorbike race, and I'd been looking forward to it for some time... and of course I was sick, and it was raining. So I wore my raincoat and watched the race. At first, I was so excited, but pretty soon, I got dizzy, and my head started pounding. By the second half, I was out of action, and when I dragged myself home, my fever was back... —TO BE CONTINUE?-- all the help, /V\r. Moriwakil

Japan Gran Prix (cont.) Though I was a bit dazed from my cold, I had Haruka Takachibo with me, famed novelist and CEO of Studio Nue, who taught me all about the bike races. Assistant Matsuyama, who also went with us, took lots of pictures, so it was a successful day all the same. Incidentally, several days later, Matsuyama came up to me and said, "Urn, aboutthat camera I took to the races... Urn... Well, see, it broke." "Wh-What! ? You mean, you didn't get any pictures"Urn, well..." "Not even one!?" "Erm, see..." and so on, ruining my bonus-page photo plans. I have to apologize to the race coordinators who gave us a press pass and let us go all sorts of places without paying a cent. Sorry! Luckily, Tanaka-san over at Studio Nue took a few photos, so I'll be using those for the next bonus page. To all the folks at Nue and the CEO of Logi Auto, please invite me again! I promise not to catch a cold!
