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.

Back in Japan for Tokyo Auto Salon…CHRNCLS Vlog 2020 #1
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!

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 […]
