Who did you join up with during the trip to
Tokyo?
For this Flash trip, my buddy Jérôme and I joined
allied forces from Spanish El Solitario crew. For
several years now, we have been partners in crime
and try to travel as often as possible together like a
gipsy caravan...
How did Tokyo become a reality?
You know some trips are in your mind for many years
before becoming reality. I've been dreaming about
going to Japan for twenty years. The Mooneyes Hot
Rod Custom Show (HRCS) was just the pretext that
sparked our trip.
What was the most bizarre experience or
unexpected during the trip?
Our friend David, who already went to Tokyo last
year, brought us in these really old microbars in the
heart of the Town. I couldn't tell you where exactly
they are located, but not far from Shinjuku. We went
to a piano bar of around 8 sq meters. The light was
dark red, on the ground was the piano and hostess,
alcohol bottles were on the wall. We had to go to
the first floor by a ridiculously tiny staircase, not even
enough wide for your shoulders to the point where
you’d have to turn on your side to climb.
When
we reached the first floor there was only one table
where three friends were waiting for us... with the
four of us the bar was full. We drank and smoked
for a long time. It was a very funny and weird place,
