Cast Introduction | Initial D Excite Battle Special [1]

Hello everyone it's been a while hasn't it?
So, I'm here to present to you a cool piece of media that I discovered on some strange Korean file-sharing website. Initial D Excite Battle Special is what it's called, and it appears to be some kind of documentary/battle stage that aired on October 1st, 1998 at 24:40 (12:40 AM), the same day as Initial D: First Stage Act 20 ~The End of Summer~. It contains some unseen behind-the-scenes content. However, there are no subtitles accessible, so I utilized the same technique I did on the other videos for which I made subtitles. And boom we have English subtitles

The VA of Yuichi is exactly how I imagine him, no, even better then that. He IS the real life Yuichi!

Its cool from you for uploading such a hidden gem like that i remember i watched initial d third stage behind the scene and initial d: project d to the next stage ova's and i always feel a little bit weird because i thought we didn't get a behind the scene or a making ova about first stage but now i am glad that this thing exists also
Yuichi's voice actor look sooo similar to yuichi himself tho

My full respect, this is 24 years ago or a bit longer

So, I'm guessing this was recorded back in 1998 when the OVA was released.
