...traveling across the country after visiting some friends in Sapporo, Hokkaido. It's been 200km, 300 more to go....

Neko: "I went there to give my new ride a drive. Just got it last week, after waiting for it for month. A brand-new Datsun...no..it's Nissan now... anyway. It is a Nissan March K10, with its 1.0 Turbo engine. Four way fuel injection, electronically controlled. It runs like a charm. Even when I do not push it above 3000 rpm. You know, it's brand new. I have to take it slow..."

...It’s the 80s, neon lights and synth wave are a thing...

Neko: "...and the newest B-side of the mixtape, I got from a friend, is soon to be played at the cars stereo. This fancy new thing with LCD and 6 station memory...
But first, let’s grab a coffee from the Lawson at the corner. It is past 11 in the night, and I get a bit sleepy. So it's time for a break!"

"I wonder if I will see him ever again, when he'll leave the parking lot in some minutes, after he finishes his BOSS Coffee. That's some crazy dude. Why is he telling me all this. I don't care...but at least, it's less boring in the middle of the night. So I guess it's ok." thinks the guy at the cash register.

Wonderful and insanely detailed artwork by the talented  BrunoRust

Character is mine  wingedneko

(to clarify: it is a made up story. What is real is, that I went through Japan from north to south and east to west, but in a rental car.
The car shown in this commission is real and is owned by me. But neither did I drive it in japan, nor was I around japan in the 80s )
