2020 marks my 7th year in a row going to Japan. What once started out as a bucket list trip for me has now become a regularity. I never thought I’d have many of the opportunities that have been presented to be over the years but if there was one true “game changer” for The Chronicles, it most certainly would be my first trip to Japan in 2013. Going to Tokyo Auto Salon and seeing everything else that came with that trip really opened my eyes to a new level of potential for what I could do covering car culture—and I’ve been going back ever since. Every trip since has offered so many new opportunities to see more of what Japan had to offer. I find it funny now when my friends ask me if I’m going back to Japan every January because for me, it’s a certainty. Unless I’m absolutely unable to afford the trip, you’ll definitely find me there…

After spending the morning and early afternoon at the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon event, we sat in traffic for what seemed like forever just so we could stop by Spoon Sports Type One in Suginami. Spoon was hosting a little gathering of their own titled the “Spoon Collection 2020” where they used their workshop facility to showcase some of their famed race cars from year’s past. The following day, Yuta joined us at Tokyo Auto Salon to go over some of the more talked-about builds of this year’s event and we provide some insight of our own—whether it be useful or completely ridiculous.

We’re back in Japan! For the first time ever, I’m actually uploading new videos while I am actually still in Japan! I’ve never been able to do this because I just didn’t have the technology, and frankly, the time to film, edit, render, and upload a new episode while traveling. Hope you guys enjoy the new look and going back to the early videos without the letterbox. To kick-off the new 2020 season, I take you guys with me as I hop off the plane in Tokyo and dig right into the meat of why we are in Japan; the annual Tokyo Auto Salon event. There was some great stuff this year, some great surprises, and plenty of high quality stuff. See for yourself!
