A Japanese Hot Rod magazine, CRUISIN released a DVD.
A photographer Mr. ZAP worked on shooting to editing.
It is not just a film. It is more like a 'Moving Photographs' and showing the truth and reality in it.
The sub title was Mr. ZAP's idea as well.
He is Japanese but has spent more than 30 years in the States hunting good spots and taking true photographs seeing from the Japanese point of view with American influences.
The cover illustration was done by Yoshio Nakazawa.
He is another very important guy to lead the Japanese Hot Rod and vehicles scene with Mr. ZAP.
You just need to check this out. This is definitely leading us to the new world.


CRUISINからリリースされたこのDVD。
撮影から編集まですべて写真家であるZAP氏によって制作された映像作品だ。
映像作品という言葉よりも「動く写真」という表現が適切なのかもしれない。
全てが曇り無く真実を写している。
日本語のサブタイトルもZAP氏自身の言葉で綴られている。
アメリカで30年間活動を続けてきた日本人である氏の視点を共有する事ができる。
そして、ジャケットのイラストレーションは中沢ヨシオ氏の描きおろしだ。
ZAP氏と日本の自動車文化を牽引する重要人物の興味深いコラボレーションだ。
新しい何かの始まりを予感させる興味深いDVDだ。









PROFILE
Wolfgang Honecker. The vocalist, the guitarist and the founder of the legendary heavy metal band MGFT.
It is just a coincidence that on Friday 13th of February, 1970, the same day that Black Sabbath made their debut as the first heavy metal band in the world, Wolfgang Honecker was born in Berlin, the capital city of the former East Germany. He was a quiet child and not really that much different from the other kids at school.
