[TRANSLATED] Joy Car! Japanese gravure idol Hitomi Yasueda examines the 86.
 

Good evening everyone,

I am sure many of you have seen the curious gallery of images featuring an attractive young Japanese lady in what appears to be a lab coat.

I was curious too, and I needed to practice my Japanese, so I have translated the accompanying article for your reading pleasure! I'm no expert at the language, so don't hate on me if you notice any mistakes, but I think I got the general meaning across. Ahh, those crazy Japanese...

Enjoy!

Absurdly stupid. Who ever came up with this is devpraved.

Japanese culture is.... very.... different. And that's all I'm gonna say. They build some damn amazing cars, though!

Hehehe she looks good though :clap:

.... The fuck?

Lulz, this is why I love Japan!

Ha ha ha - - very cute.

I guess this is also the origin of the "girl in trunk" pic?

That was just weird. Nice pics though.

oh gawd... someone actually went to the trouble of translating this? this is embarrassing to be seen by non-japanese...

Like I said, I was curious and wanted to practice :P

Interestingly, the gallery also features our main man Mr. Tetsuya Tada, so this is clearly something done in collaboration with Toyota (and the marketing spin of the conversation backs that up).

I think it's just a bit of fun, and certainly not worse than models posing with cars in certain import magazines. And hey, this car is aimed at young men; it's good to see that this article reinforces the message of 'affordability'!

"Meanwhile... in Japan.."

lol awesome

Did find it funny, though I've seen videos and pics of this gravure idol. But this is the first time it had a dialogue. Thanks for this it made my day! :happyanim:

O_O ... What...did I just read?

Wait.... what the hell did I just read?

Anyway I wish this girl was my doctor. :(

I am amazed and terrified of this conversation between a japanese idol and a car. Coming from japan this seems normal...

In the first pic, why do JDM girls do this!?! It looks like they are gargling. :lol:

it's supposed to be a cute angry face or a cute confused face. i know, i -_- every time i see it.

ROFL!

I can't get that time back can I?

I'm half-Japanese and this makes me ashamed....

i fell like i is stupideer nowee

lol I don't know, I found it funny. If you're in tune about Japan's "culture of cuteness," this is nothing really out of the ordinary, lol.
But yeah, if you aren't familiar with that, then it comes out as extremely awkward.

Ohhh I wish Yasueda-san would also check out my 86 when I get it :bonk:.

Spot on. Japan's actually quite 'normal' for the most part!

And, like I said before, these galleries and others like it on the site are quite tame and, dare I say respectful, when compared to some more well known car sites...

Nice parody on Idols and superstar interviews in the magazines.

Like the alternative is so much better?

:lol:I enjoyed this.... What has Japan turned me into?! :lol:

Check out the Subaru Version here: http://autoc-one.jp/subaru/brz/joyca...hoto/0003.html

lol I'm with this guy. I watch a lot of anime and stuff so I'm pretty used to seeing things like this.

BTW, is that the Good Smile Racing logo?

is someone gonna translate the brz version too? cuz i'm not. :bonk:

I suppose I could if people were interested :P

やめとけ　笑

Yep :thumbsup:

lol That's awesome. Did you do the Personal Sponsor thing for the GSR team?

まあ、時間もないし。。。

It's not quite as funny as the Toyota one anyway :P

ive seen better
