Of course this drawing would be so boring without the proper music (idea borrowed from the "Initial D" anime/manga: some Eurobeat (a derivation from Hi-NRG [Eurodisco, Discofox] and Italo Disco from the 80s, very popular in Japan and mainly produced by Italian artists. Don't confuse with Eurodance. Also known as "Para Para" (パラパラ) or "Eurobeat Flash" (ユーロビートフラッシュ) in Japanese jargon). ^^

PS: Who's the mysterious "Orange Tiger"??? One day you'll surely know!!!

The "tuning event" is finally here!!!

The artist decided to be part of a car-racing adventure so he drives his "Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno" properly tuned for the moment. If you know some Japanese, you'll realize some credits extracted from his DA main page.
