It has been announced that 8.6-second Buzzcart will join as a guest voice actor in the animated film "Initial D Legend 2: Fighting Race," which will be released in theaters on May 23, 2012.

Initial D" is an anime based on the popular manga (author: Shuichi Shigeno), which was serialized in Weekly Young Magazine from 1995 to 2013 and has sold 48.6 million copies in its 48 volumes. The main character, who has the mark of a "young leaf," drives his father's old Hachi Roku (AE86 Sprinter Treno), which is owned by his father who runs a tofu shop, and engages in heated public road battles with other drivers from all over the country with his amazing drift driving... The story is told in four TV series from 1998 to 2012, plus one movie version, plus several OVAs. The series was a huge hit from 1998 to 2012, with four TV series, one theater version, and several OVAs produced. The new film version is produced by Sanzigen and Raidenfilm, which are known for their CG production techniques, and all the sounds of the cars in the film are reproduced by professional racing drivers. In addition, the cast has been completely renewed and the film depicts the battle between the "Rotary Takahashi Brothers" (older brother Ryosuke: FC3S RX-7, younger brother Keisuke: FD3S RX-7), who claim to be the fastest in the Gunma area, and the main character Takumi Fujiwara in a three-part story.

As a "Hachiroku" connection, the comedy duo 8.6 Seconds Buzzcocks, who are currently enjoying their big break with their "Rassungorerai" material, will be guest voice actors for the second chapter, "Legend 2: Toushi". They will play the role of the "older brother" in the gallery who watches the heated battle between the HACHIROKU and the GT-R. Here is what they had to say

8.6 Seconds Buzz Car comment
We never thought we would be asked to play this role. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of role I will play as the older brother of the gallery that has gathered to watch the battle. I was also the fastest driver on campus, so I am honored to be involved in this Initial D production, in which we compete to be the fastest on public roads. I also feel a strong affinity with the main character, whose car is nicknamed "Hachi Roku," so I will do my best to play the role. It has been 20 years since the manga series of Initial D began, and now that the series itself has ended, I am honored to be a part of a work that has been made into a movie and has been loved by fans for a long time!
