I recently had the chance to catch up with Robby!
You may remember him as one of the creative directors of JDM INSIDER!
Since then, he’s advanced quite a bit and it was great to hang out with him in Tokyo.
Robby, thanks for the fun time and wasn’t partying the bomb?
hahaha…hope you made it home [...]

As Golden February moved on, it was time for my Bday party at Medusa in Ebisu.
Golden Februaryも順調に続き、恵比寿のMEDUSAで僕の誕生会が行われました。
I was so happy that everyone could make it out. Usually they are super busy people so it was really heartwarming.
みんな忙しいスケジュールなのにわざわざ出てきてくれました！
The place had multiple aquariums filled with tropical fish, jellyfish and more…
店の中はこんな感じでした〜
On Feb 2, 2010, the drifting community lost another important member.
Atsushi Kuroi passed away due to a motorcycle accident. He was 42.
I had the pleasure of working with him on various projects including JDM INSIDER and all the D1 events…
It’s quite a shock and I’m just sorry that I had to find out [...]
I recently went to Grill Suzunari to drink with D1 drivers Ueno and Yoshioka.

Since 2010 is the year of the tiger, I thought this rare picture of the Tin-Tiger in the wild would be nice.
2008 was a year of restarting, 2009 was a year of difficult preparation and study, but with all that almost done, 2010 is going to be a year of execution and active [...]
Today we gathered at a bar somewhere in Tokyo for Masatoshi’s Birthday bonanza!
今日は都内のバーでマサトシ君の誕生日会を祝いました！！
“OK, who says we all get wasted tonight!?”
Masatoshi! Your hand isn’t up!
「よっしゃ〜！！今夜死ぬまで飲む人〜〜！？」
マサトシ！手が上がってないぞ！
Ahh, but there was no escape for the birthday boy!!

Here is Alex, Morten, and myself.

We opted for darts and tequila…as [...]
It’s only been almost a week since Halloween and it already seems like so long ago!
ハロウィーンが終わってから一週間も立たないんだけどすげ〜昔のような感じ！
So for Halloween, we all met up at the usual place in Shibuya.
I finally got to live the dream of being a real pumpkin head…not just being called one by Jeff all the time.
今年のハロウィーンはいつもの場所でパーティー！
俺もPumpkin Headで登場〜！
学生の頃からJeffにPumpkin headと呼ばれていたため、若干トラウマだった…
この帽子で本当にPumpkin headになっちゃった…
Finished work and went out to go eat yakiniku BBQ beef in Shibuya.
今夜は仕事を終わらせ、みんなと食事。今日は渋谷にある韓国風焼き肉。ボンちゃんもおつかれ！
One shot with Erika, Bon, and Masatoshi. Shikachan and Kamecan couldn’t make it because they were too busy trying to conquer the fashion world.
えりか、ボンちゃんとマサトシ君でワンショット！シカちゃんと亀ちゃんは仕事が忙しく、来れず…
Behold the Shibuya river…
食事も終わり、きれいな渋谷川？の横を…
We [...]
I just heard from a friend that Shaun Carlson passed away this past Sunday at his home.
“Shaun Carlson, considered among the top 10 innovators in the sport compact world, died suddenly Sunday at his Long Beach home. He was 35.After three heart attacks in one month earlier this year, Carlson was [...]
I grew up in Corona Del Mar ,CA, a section of Newport Beach.
今日はCorona Del Marの実家でBBQです！Newport Beach市の中にある街です。
It’s obviously right near the beach and very “California”
とてもカリフォルニアっぽくていい感じです！海の真ん前なのでいつでもリゾート気分!
The weather is usually nice and it makes you want to go outside or take a drive.
この雰囲気もLAでしょう〜？
This is the street in front of my [...]
I recently had a chance to catch up with one of my best friends from childhood. Matt and his family, Pamela, Adrian and Quinn have been close with us forever and it was something that was long overdue.
I went to go visit them at their new house nestled in the San Bernadino mountains.
最近幼なじみと会ってきました！
MATTとその家族: [...]
I recently was invited by Shikachan to go wakeboarding and jetskiing with Kamechan and the crew!
シカちゃん、亀ちゃん達に誘われ、wakeboardとjetskii BBQに行ってきました！
Of course, the crew was in full effect!
もちろんいつものメンバーが勢揃い！
It was a unexpected day of good sports, good friends, and…
友だち、スポーツと、

Here’s Shikachan showing Tintin all the food…
シカちゃんとティンコマスター…食べ物をじ〜〜っと見てる。
Not wanting to a quitter (like me), Nabs was up super early challenging the river and the 5 fish that lived there…
I was over it.
DJNABSは朝から釣りに燃えていた。俺とは違い、諦めていなかったみたい。
Meanwhile, here is Tintin’s idea of mixing with the other dogs…
その間、他のワンちゃん同士の触れ合いタイムがあったんだけどティンティンは全く興味無し…
Here’s a POV from the middle of that river. I froze so you could have [...]
I left Tokyo and passed through the crumbling suburban towns to move towards the mountains…I was going camping!
I went to unplug myself from the world for one full day and night.
都内を離れ、古いくたびれた田舎の町を通り抜け、山へ向かった。
キャンプに行く事になったのです！
現代社会から逃げ、すべてのコネクションを切り、自然とゆっくり時間を過ごす事にしたんです！
A nice pleaseant drive through the twisty mountin roads…
気持ちいい峠走行…
Over bridges…
橋も渡り…
Welcome to the Owata Camping Grounds!
約一時間半で大渡キャンプ場に着きました！
