(Police 06) This is what I call a real service

When I was living in Japan way back when, there was no such thing as the "Self-Service" gas station. I guess the time has changed because I heard they're everywhere in Japan now. Such a shame.

Who wouldn't want to feel welcomed when you pull into the gas station and be greeted by at least 2 or 3 uniformed employees. They usually come running at your car. Cheerful(almost loud) employees, I might add.
One of them will pump the gas while another employee would wipe your windshield(and you don't have to tip them either!), and if there's one extra hand, he/she will clean out your ashtray. And I mean CLEAN as in dump out the cigarette butts, and wipe the inside of the astray clean.
But wait, what's the coolest part of going to the full-service gas station? It's to witness the gas station employee's ability to stop the "ever-so-congested" traffic flow in Japanese roadways. He/She can step out into the middle of the road, regardless of how many cars are whipping by, and signal you that it's safe to pull out into the roadway. How cool is that?

One side note. Yes the "Zet!" is back.
About him, see here;

It would be awesome if you could manage to write something about the celebritys, what they usually do like Yutaro was a famous actor or something like that.

I'm dying to know what was going on near the end with the Jimmy Onishi video.

While on the subject of subs, does anyone know where I can grab subfiles(separate file) for 2004's Onsen, the Onigoko game, Matsumoto's haunted house, and the High School batsu game? I've got 2003's Onsen game, the hospital game(obviously) and I recently found subs for the newspaper game. I've seen the High School game and 2004's Onsen completely translated on Youtube and I'm wondering if there are subfiles floating around for those so I thought I'd ask, though I'm curious about all of the ones I'm missing really.

@Jinzo

Where did you find the Newspaper subs? I need those! :]

Jinzo said...

I can't for the life of me find it on D-Addicts anymore, which is where I got it two days ago. Either they removed the thread or I can find it anymore. I uploaded it to Megaupload 'cause I gave up looking for it. =P

*Tumbleweed rolls past*

...Where'd he go? Maybe we've just been spoilt with his frequent updates, but usually he says when he's going on vacation, etc.

MOAR!!!

Haven’t been waiting so impatiently for a continuation since LOST.

I'm worried. Has shibatabread become toast?

I think some of us became spoiled with a new video every 3-4 days while our friend was subbing the newspaper batsu.

The whole point of the driving thing is to get payback on Endo, who pulled that kind of prank on Tanaka about 10 years before this was filmed.

It can be seen here:

I actually made a typo, it won't let me paste an URL in here so I had to transcribe the whole youtube thing. This new URL should work, please enjoy it, you'll see why they're doing the whole car thing:
