Inonaki Vol 1855
26th June 2008
The three of us?!
Do you all remember the taxi driver with the incredibly good memory? The one I wrote about a few days back?
He was a 75-year old veteran taxi driver, who could remember the names of countries, emperors, prime ministers, presidents; perfectly.
Yesterday, we were on location, shooting for VVV6 V-shuran 2, and the guests were Ishida Yoshizumi-san and Manabe Kaori-san. During the bus journey, the two of them, together with Sakamoto-kun and Miyake and I, we were talking about the taxi driver.
I told them about how the driver had said "I can recite the names of all the 202 countries written on the page of this file, within 1 and a half minute", about how he had organised his music by different eras, and also about the fact that he still uses cassette tapes.
Then all of a sudden, Manabe Kaori-san shouted out.
I know that person!
Wh...what?
On top of that, she had taken a ride in that taxi, twice!
Wh...wha...what!?
And then Ken immediately shouted too.
I also know that person! I have taken his taxi before!
What is this! How can this be!
Out of five people, three have had the chance to appreciate him!?
I inquired about it, and it feels like he had shown the file to the two of them too.
And he had also recited clearly, all the 202 countries' names, without fumbling even once.
Un~n.
What are the probabilities for such a thing?
I am very surprised with the driver's wide patronage, which makes me start to suspect that he may have a franchise. Maybe he has like 200 taxis all around central Tokyo
I feel that probability is just about right, yo
But I don't think that (suspicion) is reasonable, ne
Anyway, without a doubt, the driver is an incredible 75-year old, yo
I hope I will get to ride in his taxi again!
