Kyusha Car Gathering on Awaji Island in Photos…

Kyusha Car Gathering on Awaji Island in Photos…

How about we get back to looking at some good old fashion photos, huh?? Yes, yes, I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted any photo sets on the site, but there’s a huge reason for that; I simply haven’t had the time to. The YouTube channel has been jampacked with videos the past few months because it is so much easier for me to churn out new Vlogs while I’m on the road. Editing video is a much easier process for me than processing photos because I’m much more picky about how I want my photos to look. I still shoot a lot, probably more than I have before, believe it or not—I also take more time going through the photos now because my tools have expanded as have my skills as a photographer. At the core of it, this site has always been about both the written content and the photos that accompany it. That’s still my focus. It just takes a lot of time to go through the photos, organize them, write copy, and post them here. I don’t know if you guys have ever done any type of blogging before, but it is incredibly time-consuming. I used to be able to post so much more simply because I wasn’t doing anything else. As I’ve gotten older, there is just so much more on my plate now. The Chronicles started-off as just a side project for fun and now it’s my main source of income. As such, I dedicate so much of my time to everything involved with making it sustainable…

40 Days In Japan Ends With Nostalgic 2 Days!!…

Alas, my Japan journey comes to an end. It”s been an eventful 40 days here but it is time to go home! I’ve had a blast but I do have to remember that I have a life at home to live so it is time for me to depart. Before I go however, I did have one more event to go to; Nostalgic 2 Days in Yokohama! I’m always trying to see new things and expand my horizons in the world of Japanese automotive tuning so this is the perfect event to cap-off my trip! This show is specifically catered to the Kyusha, or Japanese classic car, community and there’s always something rare or unique to see here. Whenever I dive into the rich history of the Kyusha car scene, I always find myself learning new things. And this event was no different. Join me and my friends as we walk through Nostalgic 2 Days and let’s all appreciate these classics together…

Massive Kyusha Gathering In Japan!!…

Massive Kyusha Gathering In Japan!!…

While I’m in Japan, I’m always looking for new stuff to see and experience when it comes to car culture. I know I’ve become known as more of a curator for Honda content over the years but my interests actually extend far past just Hondas and Acuras. I’m just exposed more to it than most and have built a strong following within that subculture. When my friend JC Pepino from Work Wheels informed me of a big Kyusha meet happening in Hyogo, I instantly knew that it was going to be a positive experience. I’ve never been to an old school Japanese classic car gathering before so I wasn’t going to miss this one. It just so happened that this meet was happening on Awaji Island where Sara wanted to go anyway so it all kind of worked out. I got to see some car stuff and she got to do her thing at Naruto land. What’s Kyusha and what is Naruto? Well, I attempt to explain at least one of those things in this episode…

Notable Builds From JCCS & Autofashion VIP Festival!!… CHRNCLS Vlog 2021 #25

It really feels like this entire past month has been filled with non-stop events! I’m not saying it’s a bad thing but boy has our weekends been busy. You guys got a glimpse at what was special about this year’s SEMA Show but before that week-long event took place was the annual Japanese Classic Car Show. Because of all that’s been happening, the event had to be moved from Long Beach to Angel’s Stadium in Anaheim, which changed the entire vibe of the original event series! It can be debated on whether or not this change was a good one but I will say one thing, this year’s JCCS was HUGE. I don’t even think I walked the entire thing. I did spend some time finding some of the builds that stood-out to us though.
