Private Notes
A spin-off episode of Yamaha Motor's original video animation “Master of Torque,” featuring Fuuka Torimi and Nanami Hiyoshi.
It has been one year since the events that occurred at the Hyuga Corporation’s underground testing facility at the foot of Mt. Fuji. Dan Amo rides his MT-09 Tracer on a solo touring trip headed for a certain destination. What awaits him when he arrives? Dan Amo, Makina Mikage and Kotaro Hyuga—three riders brought together by intertwined threads of fate—overcame the troubling events of their parents’ pasts and deepened their bonds as they each restart their lives headed down the individual paths they believe in.
Hyuga Corp. is in the final stages of developing the "Marishi Machina," a new powered suit utilizing an electronic interface and artificial muscle fibers. As the one in charge of the suit's development, Kotaro is anxious to complete the project quickly. He dons the Machina suit himself and heads out into the night in pursuit of Dan. What are Kotaro's motives? Who is Makina, and why is she lying in wait for them?
Despite his suit’s cutting-edge digital technology, Kotaro yet again loses sight of the “Zebra.” His pride in tatters, he rides aimlessly down nighttime R246, as if to calm his frustration-racked nerves and quell his envy. Dan returns to the Genesis Café and a slightly worried Sanae. Having no parents or kin of his own, Sanae raised Dan like a son, and she can’t help but be concerned for his well-being. But then, freelance journalist Makina appears at the Café. Knowing nothing of Sanae’s worries, she approaches Dan—who’s relaxing at the counter—tricks him into showing her his Hyuga Corp. ID card, and promptly snares it from him. What is Makina after? What are Kotaro’s true aims? The fates of these three riders begin to entwine...
Makina exits the Genesis Café with Dan’s Hyuga Corp. ID card and her camera in hand. She notices that the surrounding area has been closed for construction, but there was no construction planned for tonight... Seeing the Hyuga Corp. truck parked inside the construction site, she realizes that there is some kind of connection between the development of the powered suits that her father and Dan’s father were once involved in, and Hyuga Corp.’s closely guarded company secrets. Makina approaches Hyuga Corp.’s suit-testing mobile container to obtain irrefutable proof to back her suspicions with her camera, but the container’s computer system suddenly reacts to the pendant given to her by her father, and straps her into a prototype Machina suit—one with an incomplete brainwave-synchronization function. Who is Makina really? What did her father and Dan’s father have to do with the development of the Marishi Machina suits? The gears of fate begin to turn...
Makina's mind is under the control of the Marishi Machina suit's digital technology. Dan is in hot pursuit, using his razor sharp senses to maneuver his motorcycle through the construction-strewn Shutoko. Kotaro, not far behind, is refusing to be defeated by Dan and anxious to prove the capability of the digital suits. What awaits these three young riders as the climax of their chase approaches?
Makina lost consciousness when the Marishi Machina suit developed by the Hyuga Corporation seized control of her body and sent her charging onto the new Shutoko expressway. Dan was able to stop her before it was too late. When Makina confronts Mitsukuni about the truth behind the incident that claimed their parents' lives, Dan is given an order he would never have expected. Can Dan face his past and free himself of the curse he has borne and reclaim his future with his own hands?
Dan Amo hears from Hyuga Corporation Chairman Mitsukuni Hyuga that his mother is still alive. To see with his own eyes if there’s truth in his words, Dan goes together with Makina, herself hoping to discover the whereabouts of her father, to the Hyuga Corporation’s secret testing facility at the foot of Mt. Fuji. Seeking to lay claim to the world’s emerging market for powered suits, Mitsukuni is bent on finally completing the Marishi Machina suit. He tells Dan and Makina that conducting once again the test that the original development team had done in the past may bring them both what they seek. They both have their reasons: Dan wants to revive his mother from her cold-sleep; Makina wants to know what her father really desired. They decide to go through with the test, but will doing so finally help free them from the ghosts of their pasts?
