Giuliano's ressurection

As I was driving by the highway with the car I just got from the
BANDAI NAMCO garage, it suddenly stopped. I seem to have forgotten to
top up the car's fluids, to charge my phone, & the number of the
Assoluto Emergency Roadside Assistance, so I went hitchhiking for
help. As I was calling for help, some driver saw me & stopped to help.
His face seem to be really familiar, like I know him from somewhere. I
asked him who he was & I was right.

He's Giuliano Gilbert, son of RTS manager Enki Gilbert who died in a
crash two decades ago. But why is he alive?

He told me that, in that time he crashed, he hit a member of his dad's
racing crew who looks like him & is wearing a racing helmet. His dad
seem to not have recognized who the guy was, mistaking it for his own
son. Now, he works as a professional mechanic for his dad's team,
hiding his identity to all. Then, he put his calling card on my car's
wiper, just in case I need him, & left.

How unbelivable was that? A dead guy is actually alive & had been
hiding for 20 years? Wait 'til I tell his dad!

Yours truly,
Reiko Nagase

Going back through memories

I am here, sitting on a chair, typing out words on a keyboard, with nothing to do but search many things in the internet like Pac-Man's existence, Giuliano Gilbert's death, my sister's status in the war, job posts, & so much more. Instead of travelling to different places, meeting people, doing photo shoots, et cetera, I am here in my own apartment, indulging myself with the normality of this world (which I am not used to) &, of course, potato chips.

You may be guessing who I may be. I am that girl you see in almost every intro & ending cutscene in the RIDGE RACER series. I am that girl who was there on the track, thanking fans, supporting drivers, & more. I am that girl who have faced a lot of controversies & received a lot of support since the company I work for replaced me.

I am Reiko Nagase.

I was just searching through memorabilla of my past. Pics & articles from the Real Racing Roots of 1999,  support mail from my fans, clothes that I used in the photo shoots, list of drivers that I went out with, contract with Kei Yoshimizu, another contract from the BANDAI NAMCO group of companies (revised), Pac-Man memorabilla, a letter from my sister with her picture in it, a copy of another 'Katamari Damacy' game for the PlayStation 2, & keys to my yellow Assoluto Fatalita MkIII...wait a sec!

Seems that I better rush down to the BANDAI NAMCO office tomorrow & get the car. (It's written in the contract that it's mine!) Oh well! Another day, another surprise!

Yours Truly,

Reiko Nagase
