The Good Smile Hatsune Miku Z4 is the 2015 series champion!!\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span>\u30fd(*\u30fb\u03c9\u30fb)\u4eba(\u30fb\u03c9\u30fb*)\u30ce<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan<\/a><\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n

I am still unable to get rid of the excitement from yesterday’s race! It was my first ever time watching the race live, and it was much more thrilling than I could ever have expected!<\/p>\n

Today I’m going to share some of my experiences from the race track! First up are some photos of the Miku Z4 close up! This was just after the free test run – this is when the final adjustments are made for the race!\u00a0<\/strong>(\uff40\u30fb\u03c9\u30fb\u00b4)<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I spot a wooser peeking around on the back wing! \u2665\ufe0e<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plus if you look really close at the area below…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

An oshirase wooser (<\/b><\/span>@PR_wooser<\/span><\/a>) charm!!<\/b><\/p>\n

Including this one, there were three of these charms plastered on the car for this race! The combined power of these charms the wooser’s beloved race queens was clearly amazing!! (\u30fb\u2200\u30fb)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Notice the ‘Definite Victory’ headbands!\u00a0\u2605\u2606<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

GSR’s PR agent Swemy (@gsr_swemy<\/span><\/a>) was also wearing the band around his head to help ensure victory! Everyone was confident from the start!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

As the race came closer I also started to get rather excited!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Just 20 minutes until the race starts!!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

You would think that\u00a0director\u00a0Ukyo Katayama and the drivers would be nervous… but it seemed they were all in relax mode! \u266a<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Obviously the ability to remain calm and decide on the best course of action is very important for these guys! They’re clearly very capable of staying calm under pressure!<\/p>\n

But after no time at all it was time to begin the race!<\/p>\n

Ready, Set, GO!!!!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

My heart was going haywire throughout the race!!<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Each time the announcer said anything my heart would skip a beat, constantly changing between excitement and worry…! I kept my eyes on the result board all the time…!<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Every time the car finished a lap the cheering voices were heard all over!!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a really strange feeling… it felt so long and so short all at the same time!<\/p>\n

But in the end…<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We ended in 3rd place securing a series victory!!<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The fans\u00a0all cheered in a standing ovation!!
\nIt was such a wonderful experience!!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Thank you!!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Congratulations!!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I for one waved my cheering flag around so much that my right arm is all stiff today! (\uff61\uff65\u03c9\uff65)\u3063\/\u25a1<\/p>\n

Huge smiles on the winners’ podium!\u00a0\u2661<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/b>Ukyo-san held a Racing Miku flag, while Taniguchi and Kataoka held the trophies!<\/b><\/p>\n

Meanwhile everyone else looked up with tears of happiness!!<\/span><\/p>\n

In February 2014, a concept illustration by Shoji Kawamori of a transforming Miku robot quickly gained popularity, and now it is finally becoming a real product. The car itself is sculpted to the same level of quality as any other model car, faithfully reproducing the paintwork of the actual racing car in full detail.<\/span><\/p>\n

When transformed into robot form, the 1\/24th scale car becomes larger than you may expect, standing an impressive 275mm in height. The transformation has been carefully calculated by Shoji Kawamori and makes use of dynamic movements which allow the transformation to look amazing even when only halfway through the changes! It’s a product born from an amazing project, that fans are sure to enjoy in their collection for years to come!<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/div>\n

As I’m sure most of you already know, this product is a 1\/24th scale model of the racing car… which also transforms into a giant Miku robot!!<\/strong><\/p>\n
