NFL cheerleaders kind of have the same style throughout the years, so this group of ladies seemed to fit very well with the theme!

Place: Zama, Japan

A morning drive in the less populated Kanagawa prefecture proves to be a nice retro setting, especially from the driver's seat of a relatively retro car (1995 Nissan Skyline GTS).

Place: Chiba, Japan

Us in a crowd of people, though at a modern event called Wonder Festival at Makuhari Messe, proves to be a pretty good pretend-retro setting.

A futuristic looking Evangelion box of chocolates against a computer keyboard makes for a pretty ironic attempt here.

Place: Yokohama, Japan

Landmark plaza is a nice but enduring location at Yokohama. The background of Valentine's also is an enduring symbol of the month, so, creating a retro shot wasn't too hard here.

By Japanese tradition, the ladies give men chocolate on Valentine's Day. So, here's another box of chocolates I received for the occasion.

A birthday cake made by my best friend here in Japan, she made a Star Wars cake customized with figures from the capsule machines in Tokyo. Tried to make it look more like Episode IV era than Episode VII.

Place: Tokyo, Japan

Akihabara, being the place of technology and the anime capital of Japan (most would say the world as well), is well equipped to captivate and entertain, but in mostly modern ways. We found the opportunity to pose with a couple of cosplayers, and this shot is a good one to be retro in an ironic manner.

Place: Zama, Japan

New office! But with an absence of technology prominently displayed, an old/vintage look. As the months go by in this office I anticipate it'll look more modern and have some more personal charm to it.

Place: Tokyo, Japan

An outdoor ice rink in Tokyo, two well dressed skaters, and a nice time. The moment was transcendental, so I imagined it would fit in quite nicely as a cool retro shot here.
