Before we flew back to Japan, we had a few hours to spare after checking out of our hotels so we asked Yasu to drive us over to Rauh-Welt Begriff. We were staying in a hotel that wasn’t too far from Kashiwa were RWB is so we’d pass through there […]

The day after Attack Tsukuba, we headed straight to Yokohama to attend our first-ever Nostalgic 2Days event. We only had one more day in Japan before we flew back home to California, and there was honestly no better way to cap-off our incredible trip than to check-out some modified Japanese […]

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 the Attack Tsukuba event ended and we all survived my birthday party that night in Tokyo, I had an extra day and a half to just relax. We met up with the boys from JDMYARD to see their Civic off to Taiwan, randomly came upon some really nice AE86 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
