We’re beyond thrilled to share our incredible experience at Tokyo Auto Salon 2024, one of the biggest and most prestigious automotive events in Malaysia. Known worldwide and especially loved among car enthusiasts, this event brought together passionate audiences, car collectors, and creative minds from all corners of the globe. The energy was electric from start to finish — and we’re so proud to have been part of it.

CAPTURING THE HEART OF TOKYO AUTO SALON 2024 — LEGENDARY CARS, CAR CULTURE, AND GLOBAL CONNECTIONS

One of the highlights for us was the amazing opportunity to create exclusive content for some of the event’s most iconic cars. Among them was the Fairlady 400Z Veilside, a car that turned heads and drew crowds with its bold design and legendary status in the automotive world. We poured our heart into capturing its presence, and it felt surreal when our work caught the attention of both the event organizers and car enthusiasts internationally. It’s moments like these that remind us how powerful visual storytelling can be, especially when it resonates across different countries and cultures.

But it didn’t stop there — the absolute standout moment for us was working on content for the legendary GT-R R35, brought to the event by the one and only Smoky Nagata. Meeting Smoky in person was a huge honor. Despite the language barrier, as he spoke only Japanese, his kind and welcoming nature made the encounter truly special. Connecting with someone who’s made such a huge mark in automotive history was an experience we’ll always treasure. It felt like we were witnessing history firsthand — and being able to capture those moments behind the lens made it even more meaningful.

Beyond the cars we worked on, Tokyo Auto Salon 2024 was packed with so much more to see and experience. The event featured an extensive car showcase that included everything from modified supercars and JDM legends to classic collectibles and futuristic concept cars. Every hall was filled with automotive artistry, custom builds, and next-level craftsmanship.

On top of that, there was a vibrant section dedicated to diecast shops and car accessories. This area was a haven for collectors and hobbyists, offering everything from limited-edition diecast models to unique automotive merchandise. It was awesome to see enthusiasts of all ages geeking out over tiny replicas of their favorite cars and digging through racks of rare parts and accessories.

The entire event was a celebration of car culture — from the roaring engines and meticulously designed body kits to the passionate community that keeps this world alive. We left the event with full memory cards, new connections, and unforgettable memories.

We’re incredibly grateful for the chance to be part of such a legendary event, and we look forward to more opportunities like this in the future. Here’s to chasing passions, capturing stories, and celebrating the automotive world together.
