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 […]

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.

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!

I think that it’s incredibly important to have an open mind these days. If we just live in our comfort zone and do what we’re used to, life can get a little stagnant. It’s important to grow, you know? I found myself living like that for much of my twenties, […]

I bet you guys never expected to see this happen. To be honest, I don’t think I would have ever thought it would happen either. I went to a Hot Import Nights event—not here in L.A., but all the way down under in Sydney, Australia. Why? You ask. Well, I […]
