Did I really go back to Japan again after just being there less than a month ago? Weren’t I just in Hawaii? Do I actually even live in California? If I really did go back to Japan, what exactly is the purpose for my return? I guess we’ll find out in this episode… Joey Lee …
My Adventures in Japan 2019… Part 4…
The concept of taking all these photos and documenting all these experiences is that they will have a long-lasting effect in the bigger overall ‘picture‘ (no pun intended) of the worldwide automotive tuning community. I want not only myself, but you as a viewer to be able to pull these photos up some day and …
Living The HI Life With Wekfest – CHRNCLS Vlog 2019 #8
Not long after returning home from Japan, I was off on yet another plane ride, this time with the guys from Wekfest USA. The annual Hawaii event was happening and I was anxious to head back after missing the 2018 event due to a conflict in schedules. It’s always nice to go back to Hawaii, …
My Adventures in Japan 2019… Part 3…
So much has been going on lately that Japan almost feels like ages ago. I guess that makes sense since January always feels long as fuck but admittedly, I think I’m getting a bit worn out with all this traveling I’ve been doing lately. After coming back from my Tokyo Auto Salon trip, I spent …
Adventures in Fukuoka at M&M Honda – CHRNCLS Vlog 2019 #7
On the evening before our final full day in Japan, I make the executive decision to take a bullet train ride down to the Kyushu region, Fukuoka in particular, to visit a tuning shop that I’ve long been wanting to visit but just never found the right time to. M&M Honda is one of those …

My Adventures in Japan 2019… Part 2…
It’s currently 4:17 AM, I’m half asleep but also still need to pack for Hawaii, so I’ll just go ahead and leave these photos for you here to view. As mentioned in Part 1, I decided to take a different approach this year with my photos from Japan. Instead of dividing them into what we …
The Uncommon Cars of Common Snapper! – CHRNCLS Vlog 2019 #4
Tokyo and Osaka were fun but we were off to yet another part of Japan to visit more shops and see the unseen. On this episode, we head to the countryside of Mie, an area more popularly recognized for the famed Suzuka Circuit. We visited Suzuka Circuit for the first time last year after Tokyo …
My Adventures in Japan 2019… Part 1…
I love Japan. I really do. I don’t think there’s really anything else that needs to be said. Most of the time I feel like I just use Tokyo Auto Salon as an excuse to go back so I can hang out in Japan with my friends. It’s funny because every year, people ask me …
