Tokyo Toy-Otaku: Yodobashi Akiba

For toy lovers around the World there really might not be a better place to go than the capital of Toyko, for this place is really just one big giant playground full of toys and the only limitation is your imagination! Okay, that part might be stretching it a little, let’s try it again, your […]

Tokyo Auto Salon 2015: Day 1, Part 3-Subaru and The Pride of Boxer

Trying to fight back a somewhat sad image of late due to a rather uninspiring (and not very attractive looking) fleet of cars on sale, Subaru have jumped on the offensive and brought out a nice selection of Concepts for the Tokyo Auto Salon. The one i was most interested in was this red hot […]

Tokyo Auto Salon 2015: Day 1, Part 2-Boom Craft and The Dream Chaser

If there’s one thing that the Tokyo Auto Salon isn’t short of, it’s Lamborghinis, loud Lamborghinis. And none louder or brasher than those of Shinichi Morohoshi-san. For those who’ve been living in a well for the past year, go watch this video before scrolling down any further. Now living his dream which he first started […]

Tokyo Auto Salon 2015: Day 1, Part 1-Liberty Walking!

It’s a chilly cold winter Friday morning and all i had for sustenance was a ball of rice and a cup of Doutor latte from a convenience store. But all was right with the World for i was standing in front of the halls of Tokyo’s Makuhari Messe, waiting for the doors of the 2015th […]

Tokyo Food-Otaku: The Great Tokyo Tri-Burger Experiment

Granted, I’m no food critic, nor a bonafide epicurean specialist. But i do enjoy some good eats every now and then. Good eats, good meats and of course, a good burger. Having some of the best places to eat, i reckon it’s pretty hard to find a chow-down place in Tokyo that will disappoint, but […]

Tokyo Auto-Otaku 2015: Hardcore Tokyo Fresh Meet in Odaiba-Part 2

Many people have asked me during my travels to Japan if i’ve ever visited Daikoku and although i’d love to one day have a go, without renting a car or having a local bring you around, it’s pretty much impossible for most overseas visitors to make trip. Sure i could have taken a taxi cab […]

Tokyo Auto-Otaku 2015: Hardcore Tokyo Fresh Meet in Odaiba-Part 1

Organised by Super Street magazine, Hardcore Tokyo and All That Low Japan. I have decided to split up this event’s writeup into two […]

Tokyo Auto-Otaku 2015: R(oppongi)WB

With the Tokyo Auto Salon right around the corner, my first day upon landing into Tokyo turned out to be a rather busy and tiring day, with places to go and meets to attend packed so close together on my schedule, i really only had my first meal of the day during dinner time, at […]

Tokyo Auto-Otaku 2015: Bingo Sports – The showroom of Dreams

If you have ever lusted over a Supercar, you’ll probably find it here one day or another. This is the showroom of dreams, this is Bingo Sports. I’ve been following Bingo Sports for a short while on Facebook and since i was in Tokyo, i decided to drop by for a visit. Little did i […]

Tokyo Auto-Otaku 2015: The Cut & Sewn BMW i3

Surprises are always fun (the good ones as least), most people enjoy a surprise or two, so upon landing in Tokyo and on my way out to Yodabashi Akihabara for a data sim card, i chanced upon this very uniquely decorated i3 in BMW Group Studio right next to Tokyo Station. The artwork was a […]
