One of the main reasons why I returned to Japan yet again on this particular trip with Ryan Der was to attend this year’s Attack event at the Tsukuba Circuit. I had so much fun last year being at Tsukuba for the first time that I had a feeling I […]

This is the good stuff. I’m serious. If there was a “meat and potatoes” of my Osaka photo coverage…this is the post. Some of my favorite photos ever might actually be in this single post alone and it all just kinda happened by chance. I didn’t plan it, none of […]

One of the questions I get asked the most often during my different adventures in Japan is what the difference is between Tokyo Auto Salon and Osaka Auto Messe. To fully understand the differences, I think you really have to experience both Tokyo and Osaka. But…if I were to give […]

Hi all, don’t worry, I didn’t forget about the second half of the Wekfest Hawaii photos, I’ve just been super busy here in Japan. We’re in the midst of a three-day Osaka Auto Messe event and I’m typing most of this at a tiny desk situated right in-between the No […]

Somewhere wedged in-between my multiple trips to Japan is the annual Wekfest Hawaii event. People often ask me why I go to Japan so often in such a short span of time and my main reasoning behind it is simple; I have to go to Hawaii. It’s often considered paradise […]

It’s crazy to think that it took me this long to unpack all the photos I shot from Japan last month and I’m now already getting prepared to go back. In total, we all just went through about 428 photos together in all 9-parts of this series. That’s not even […]

After we left Central Circuit at around 11:30 AM, we hopped in Yasu’s Civic and headed back to Osaka. The Autofashion Festival event had started already but we knew we’d have plenty of time to see everything since it didn’t end until 4. I missed last year’s event since it […]

I really had no idea I shot so many photos this time around in Japan. Granted I was there for almost two weeks but I don’t even remember having my camera on my that much. I didn’t shoot much or at all while I was in Hong Kong but then […]

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.
