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 [...]
Feb 20 was part of “Golden February”. It was the one year marriage anniversary for me and C☆！
Wow, one year already!? It’s got to be fun if one year went by that fast!
February is “golden” because it has Valentines Day, our anniversary, and my birthday in back to back to back weekends.
Anyways, [...]
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
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 [...]
Merry Christmas everybody!
This year, I’ve grown out my beard to look like Santa.
皆さん！メリークリスマス！
今年はクリスマスのためにサンタみたいに毛を伸ばしてみました。どう？
似てる？
And since today is Christmas, they asked me to show you my new outfit…
そして今日はクリスマスなので僕の衣装を見せるように指示されました…

これでサンタを待つだけ！

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!!
Icchi (Hayato Ichihara) was there to make sure Masatoshi got super [...]
I recently took C☆to Atami for her birthday! Since I wanted to do something different for her, I decided to rent out a 2 bedroom condo and cook some fresh seafood and steak gourmet dinner! First off, I rented this piece of shit Mazda car.
C☆の誕生日だったんだけど都内のレストランとか定番の事をするより、ちょっと拘った行動をとりました。熱海で２LDKのマンションを借りて新鮮な貝とおいしい肉を料理するグルメツアにしてみました！まずはこのダサイレンタカーを借りました。
Without knowing what to expect, we just [...]
Our friends from Dr Denim were in town so we decided to get some drinks after a long day’s work.
Here is Alex, Morten, and myself.
Dr Denim が仕事で来日していたので夜も一緒に遊ぶ事に…
マーケティングを担当してるアレックスとデザイナーを勤めているアレックスの父モーテンさんが今回来ました。
Of course, in Shibuya, there is nothing to do except drink lots of alcohol, dance, or play darts/ billiards.
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 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、
BBQ!!
BBQでした!!
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！
First off, I have to thank Moris for seriously hooking me up. He basically helped me move for FREE AND paid for the rent a truck! WTF!? What I am I supposed to do?? How can I repay you???
最近超〜お気に入りの新居に引っ越したんだけどモリスにはマジで感謝！！！引っ越しの手伝いをFREEでやってくました！トラック代まで払ってもらっちゃって…一体どうなってるんじゃ！？！？なぜお金を受け取ってくれない！？申し訳なくて夜寝れな〜〜〜い！どうすればいいんだ！？君はどんだけ良い人なんだ！？
Moris scored the Toyota 2-ton rent a truck. We thought we didn’t need [...]
So we went out to buy some groceries and happened to stumble across the Sendagaya omatsuri festival!
冷蔵庫に何もなかったから近くのスーパーへ…そしたらなになに！？
Of course, that meant that it was time to street drink again!
千駄ヶ谷のお祭りではないか！！
Unlike the recent Yasukuni omatsuri, the games and booths here were a little low budget…
靖国のお祭りに比べてかなりしょぼかったけど…（笑）
However, they had live [...]
Here we are on the way down taking a break…
そしてみんなでビーチに行く事に…
Once at the bottom, we decided to enjoy the local seafood.
Beer, fresh grilled scallops and Sazae sea snails…yes, that sounds wierd but it tastes really good.
江ノ島と言えばサザエのつぼ焼き！？ま〜俺の中で勝手にそう思っているだけ。サザエと貝柱を買って缶ビールタイム！
いいね〜
Asami trying out a real camera…
あさみっくすも一眼レフに挑戦…重たそう…
Another delicacy is “Nama-Shirasu”. They’re super small fresh [...]
The theme here was Tokyo street drinking…
テーマはストリート。ストリートDRINKING!!
Drinking in front of the conbini…
コンビニの前でも…
Representing good friends…
仲間と一緒に…
Hitting up trendy cafes in Shibuya…
渋谷のカフェでも…
Establishing our ground…
店を乗っとり…
Then off to a high class spinoff of TGIF?
そのまま次の店へ…
Trying to figure out what the hell is going on…
この時点ではもうやばい！
Being drunk [...]
With everyone here from LA, NY, SF and Tokyo, we all went to the FATLACE party at the new club/bar/lounge called the Good Life in Harajuku.
This place happened to be just 2 minutes walking distance from my house!!
LA,New York, San Franciscoから友達が来てたのでFATLACEのパーティーに行ってきました。
そしてその場所にびっくり！俺の家から徒歩２分じゃないか！これはいいね〜
The bar had a great vibe and was just the right [...]
No summer in Japan is complete without the “omatsuri” or festival.
夏はやっぱお祭りだね！
They’re usually held at temples you often pass through these huge gateways called torii.
今回は靖国神社の祭りに行ってきました！
There’s dancing and the whole atmosphere is charged with people drinking, partying and enjyong the night.
盆踊りとかやってて賑やかだったな〜。こんな規模のお祭りは初めてだったかも。
It’s super hot and festive. Here uyou see girls [...]
