OMG. haha. I think we went to the EXACT same places in Tokyo. I recognize most of the spots and pics. Especialy the spots in Shibuya you went to and the alley shop area in Harajuku. I swear I saw those two EXACT same girl in the 109 building (was that pic taken there?). Glad you are enjoying it, Japan is AMAZING. It's a HUGE culture shock to see how nice and friendly most of the people are. I can't wait to go back.

If possible, try to hit up superautobacs in Tokyo Bay/Shinonome. PM me for super easy directions via the train. Stock up on Tommy Kaira stuff.

Haven't seen it but now that you mention it, I'll need to check it out because I definitely want to visit Japan someday. Thanks for the info!!

Yeah, it's hard for Socal guys to go travel abroad and find a concentrated mecca for unique cars unless it's Dubai or something.
You have to really go on a track or a meet for that kind of stuff. But hey, the rare domestic Japanese makes are always fun to look at. Wish I could catch TAS some time soon.

Ohh hahhaha. I picked up PJ's, funky boxers, funky socks, and some marijuana shorts. I'm still on the hunt for odd translation t-shirts.

Yeah, we are spoiled in So cal that's for sure. I've only seen a handful of cars that I thought were nice and they were Silvias or Vans. Nothing else special so far.

Seriously, how the hell do you get away with these sneaky shots?
