Here are my notes on reading:
Rides: The Japan Issue (Ganbare Nihon!)
July/Aug 2013 Issue, $5.99, rides-mag.com
In this issue, the Editor's Letter talks about not only an "impromptu trip to Japan" in January 2011, but how the staff "vowed to get back there [Japan] not only to present you with a magazine full of their culture (and, as we've seen, a love for ours), but as a reminder that Japan is strong, innovative and always building bigger and better than before." Within this issue, not only do they talk about cars, they also mention Akihabara,
The article "Hood: Turning Japanese" talks about the general roadtrip this crew took through Japan. They mention the vast differences of driving between the two countries, especially on freeways, and trains in Japan.
"Carte Blanche" actually caught my eye. It was about how people can rent "tricked out" go carts and ride through Akihabara (Akiba cart) and tour the area.
They interviewed "RIZE" who is internationally famous in America and Japan (hip hop star) for his album "Stand up!" He's an example of American Influenced Japanese musician returning music to the states.
