Thoughts Inspired by Momoe Yamaguchi’s “Playback Part 2” Lyrics — Don’t Make a Fool of Me...

Crimson Porsche Recently, in the 911DAYS 2018AUTUMN Vol.73, there was a column titled “Back then, Momoe Yamaguchi sang about a crimson Porsche speeding through the greenery.” It was based on the lyrics of Momoe Yamaguchi’s “Playback Part 2.” A blog reader had previously told me, “It’s interesting, you should read it.” So I read it right away, and… “So these were the lyrics of ‘Playback Part 2’ (;゚Д゚)!!” It was shocking… I’m not from Momoe’s...

Answering the Question: “Is This Really a Personal Blog?”

The other day, I received a comment on the blog asking, “Is this blog really a personal blog with no connection to Porsche?” Indeed… many readers might think that, and lately, even I have found myself wondering, “Who exactly am I…?” (laughs) So today, I want to answer some of the questions readers have asked me so far. ① Is this really a personal blog? Since I have previously...

How to Sound a Cool Thank-You Horn?

Wanting to Say Thanks in Style The road in front of our house is pretty narrow. With so many utility poles, when meeting oncoming cars, one of us always has to stop and give way to pass. It’s only about 200 meters to the main road, but since there’s quite a bit of traffic, I encounter these give-way moments almost daily. Sometimes, when passing each other, someone sounds a cool thank-you horn, and I’ve always...

Porsche 911 GT3, Ferrari, Lamborghini Gather at Royu Driveway

Sunday Morning at Royu Driveway If you’re a car enthusiast living in the Keihanshin area, you’re probably well acquainted with the Royu Driveway.

Which Watch Suits a Porsche? A Woman’s Perspective

Watches and Cars I often see people on Instagram posting photos showing their wristwatch and car steering wheel together. (↓Illustration) *Image source: http://blog.livedoor.jp/itsoku/archives/51795198.html It seems that people who love cars often have a strong interest in watches too. I’m not very knowledgeable about watches (actually, I’m pretty clueless about brands and recent trends), but I do have a vague image of what kind of watch I’d like men who drive Porsches to wear. So today,...

Mastering the Porsche Boxster GTS (MT) – Until That Day Comes Vol.3

Will I ever be able to drive the Boxster…? Last year, at the start of 2017, I set a goal: “This year, I will finally be able to drive the Boxster GTS (MT)!” But when I look back, I only drove the Boxster two or three times all year. Far from getting better, I actually found myself drifting further away from the Boxster GTS. Then this year’s New Year came around. With a faint hope...
