The Porsche 718 Spyder RS Has Arrived: The Ultimate Street Machine Brings the GT3 Within ...

Racing Yellow Takes Center Stage: My First Look at the Spyder RS The long-awaited 718 Spyder RS has finally been delivered. Seeing it in person for the first time, I was struck by just how fantastic Racing Yellow looks. In today’s parlance, it’s the very definition of a color that “pops”—one that stands out against any backdrop. For this build, Porsche’s expansive yellow is deliberately balanced with black. By specifying black-finished PCCB brakes and keeping...

Our Family’s Porsche Parade 2025 at Suzuka Circuit!

In May 2025, we finally joined the Porsche Parade. The Porsche Parade is a members-only event hosted every two years by Porsche Club Japan. Porsche owners from across the country gather with their cars to enjoy track sessions, parade laps, and everything Porsche. The event is usually held in the height of summer, in July, which seemed like a tough prospect with small children in tow. But this year it took place in mid-May, so...

A Taycan Road Trip to CARAD, Okayama’s Import Car Dealer!

Since I started appearing on camera on YouTube, I’ve had more chances to mention, “I actually write a Porsche blog, too.” More and more people have responded with things like, “Oh! I know it—I read it!” or “I didn’t know you had a blog!” Those conversations have gradually led to new connections with businesses in the automotive and Porsche worlds. So, on this visit, I stopped by CARAD in Okayama. The dealership specializes in buying,...

Seven Years to Give It Everything｜Working Toward a Taycan and Carrera T in the Garage

It’s been a while since I last posted on the blog. Thankfully, life has been moving at a dizzying pace, and I’ve been completely immersed in work. I may never have worked this hard at any other point in my life. Whether that’s a good thing or not, I still don’t have an answer. But there’s one thing I know for sure: this is the time to give it everything I’ve got. I made the...

Why Men Are Drawn to Women Who Drive Sports Cars: The Appeal of a Confident, Cool Woman

A woman behind the wheel of a sports car can capture a man’s attention and hold it. It’s not just about driving a beautiful or expensive car. A sports car can also suggest an image of an independent woman—and the hope that she understands a man’s passion for cars and might enjoy sharing it. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at why men are drawn to women who love sports cars and explore...

At the end of last year, I met up with a friend from my university days. Somehow, we’ve stayed in touch for about 25 years—a rare and precious connection. I have very few friends from my student days, so she’s about the only one I’ve remained close to for this long. After graduation, she put her talent to work and moved to a major corporation. She continued working after having children and built the kind...

New Year’s Eve with the 911 Carrera T | Rediscovering Its Magic on My Final Drive of the ...

My final drive of last year (or, more accurately, yesterday) started at the Royu Driveway. I had the wonderfully indulgent chance to end 2024 behind the wheel of a Carrera T again, thanks to TAKURO, a Carrera T owner who has been so kind to both my husband and me, and K, who recently took delivery of one of his own. Whenever I head out somewhere—whether to Royu or anywhere else—I seem to bring rain...

How to Enjoy Porsche Ownership: Focus on What You Love, Not What’s Wrong

No car in the world is 100% perfect. Even so, many owners find the things they love about their cars, appreciate them to the fullest, and simply enjoy the experience. Still, every now and then, you’ll hear people picking apart the smallest flaws. Perhaps it’s a particularly Japanese tendency. On social media, you’ll come across posts saying, “This part is no good” or “That’s a problem.” When I see them on X, I sometimes think,...
