Yeah, it's been mentioned before, but now (read: almost a year ago) you (read: car owners in Japan) can have an over-the-top male villain (read: Norio Wakamoto) or a tsundere (read: Rie Kugimiya) in your car to drive you on to victory (read: your destination somewhere in Japan)! The MAPLUS Portable Navi 2 is the perfect GPS unit for itasha owners everywhere. It is insane. Or awesome. Or scary. Take your pick...

And actually, there are far more than just those two. On the MAPLUS2 demo page, you can hear samples from, in order, Tooru Furuya, Hikaru Midorikawa, Eiko Masuyama, Yurika Ochiai, Shuiichi Ikeda, Rie Kugimiya, Norio Wakamoto, and Akio Ootsuka.

Youtube videos after the break...
