Asian Tim - July 26, 2007 01:50 AM (GMT)
haha of course thats Bonkura.
Dude. I finally got to see his face! :jawdrop: :lol: B)

Hmm...I expected him to look much cooler....but that vid was great though. :P a Daisy :P
And he should learn to spin a more...normal pen...hehe

bonkura is a very shy person, he doesn't speak very loudly, even in japanese, I'm surprised he accepted this.
RandomNewb - July 26, 2007 02:45 AM (GMT)
Omg, now we can use our Death Notes on him! I mean... *cough*
Naaaice.

What is the idea of the show?
ShortAssassin - July 26, 2007 02:48 AM (GMT)
Appears to be a panel of some sort that discusses whatever they are featuring on the show, but I could be wrong.

Proness :bowdown: :bowdown: . Damn do I love seeing him spin :grin:

Well of course it is, it was a rhetorical question...
This is like the second time ive seen bonkura spin an MX! And he has a bunch of them apparently. Mindblowing to somebody like me who tries to see every possible video of bonkura ever.
edit:
What tips are on his dr. kt? Cause they aren't dr. grip.

Eh, I can't really translate all of this. But I'm sure most of you know what's going on.
EDIT:
They mentioned that bonkura is best 10 in an online tournament. Which one? I don't know.
And bonkura says that "I make it a rule to practice at the very least 1 hour. There are times where I practice up to 5-6 hrs."
I didn't get the rest. >_<
rookee - July 26, 2007 04:32 AM (GMT)
LOL 5-6 hours, wtf. thats 8 hours of sleep, 3 hours of eating and 6 hours of PS. That kills 2/3 of his day.

You seriously spend 3 hours per day eating? You need to sort out your life.
ShoeMan - July 26, 2007 06:55 AM (GMT)
You can bet that he didn't become as good as he is by eating for 3 hours every day..
Teatime - July 26, 2007 07:58 AM (GMT)
I don't get it...
Can someone explain my noobish self why is Bonkura so famous? How far did he get in the world Tourny? Obviously his spinning is cool and slick but still..

well.. for me, why i think bonkura is so cool is due to the fact that he is able to make 'simple' tricks look so cool. his triangle pass rapes so hard i didn't even know he was doing triangle pass at the 2nd round of the world T.
the way he moves his hands are just so..... bonkuraish. creative too. you don't see much people doing things the same style as him, which i intend to adopt.

[INTRO SONG]
Coniciwa shonig-a chonidgi gu sun nija getchi bujo orohai bunyeredes [turns to face panel] haka sais capias des oto [some freaky laugh].
Gara guys ne.
I stopped there coz it was getting hard to follow the words. Especially if you know no Japanese whatsoever (besides coniciwa but I can't spell it correctly).

Call your local TV station.

haha whats up with the star wars music
And as for all the buzz for bonkura, it was mainly because of his videos before the WT07 including his famous isonics, fingerpass, and incredible inverse sonic hybrids.
If you want to see the videos, you should find and download the bonkura tribute. That video is a compilation of most of his work, and although they are outdated, they still manages to impress me.
Webo Splash - July 26, 2007 06:53 PM (GMT)
I got a headache from that lol. Truely the best fingerpasser yet.

In addition to having a large amount of personal videos out he also has a tendency to be one of the best combos in every collab he's in

They look like the tips for the pen, not the pencils, the pen ones don't have the little stub at the end.
Crzyazn - August 20, 2007 02:03 AM (GMT)
he probably filed the tips down
some japanese spinners do that so they don't stab themselves
TEKKEN King - August 22, 2007 08:44 AM (GMT)
ya eriror can be on the american verson of his show :P

Eriror is from the Netherlands.
I wonder who would be the best person to be on American TV coverage... Besides Kam, of course.
