This is one step removed from Kaneda's bike. Awesome.

But yeah, fix that fucking exhaust. I don't care how cool the bike is at that point.

Kaneda is from Canada.

Osric Chau. Played the young Monk in Emmerich's "2012", and Kevin Tran on "Supernatural".

Can they also make Kaneda's Bike from aKira now too?

Kind of.

Uber cool looking bike. Very very nice. Looks a little uncomfortable and hard to steer.

120MPH, great.. can i see it going round a corner please?

Can they also make Kaneda's Bike from aKira now too

I've heard that last song before. Does anyone know who that is? It's awfully familiar and I can't place it.


The last song (Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros) was used for Planet Earth and a few trailers...

For that matter, what's the first song, too?
Definately music plays a part in this vid!


The one at the start... over the credits is used in Finding Nemo near the start of the movie.
The main theme they play after that though is Overture by Michael Kamen and originally from the Robin Hood (Keven Costner version) soundtrack, but a portion of that theme, the part they played here, is used by Disney/Pixar films when the Disney logo is up. Can't say I knew before just now it was in Robin Hood, I just associated it with the Disney logo.
From there it goes into Kaneda's Death, Pt. 2 (Adagio in D Minor) by John Murphy from the Sunshine soundtrack and used in tons of trailers since then. That one I was able to place instantly... he is one of my lead choices for the Dark Tower score...
Then of course goes into the last song already mentioned.

Here's the original Akira English dub, which is cheesy, but it's still fits the time period and pretty damn awesome in my opinion.



And here's the great Kaneda and Tetsuo trade that is famous with fanboys.

Interesting how battles being wages using technology not even in sight is so well backed by music made by the most primitive of means.


This song from Akira (Kaneda) is so utterly fantastic.

Kaneda! KANEDAAAAAA!!!
