Tokkōfuku pt.2

Blue like the liquid used to cool the motor. White like the air and fuel to push the car. Brown like oil, the vital blood for any engine.

A Tokkōfuku is essential for the Mad Max Street Style. Tokkōfuku translates to Special Attack Uniform. That means any clothing/gear you wear for combat. Even if that means bombing the kanjo. Sometimes they may look plain, but wearing it shows an image of readiness and preparedness to get dirty if your car breaks down, and/or to show that you take your work seriously with pure passion. “I put in work so much I never take it off” -type of look.

Originating from the days of WWII fighter pilots of Japan, some add slogans referring to the past on their Tokkōfuku. Many pilots of the past would carry charms and amulets with them as well…

With the various colors that members of PVTANTRA have, we commonly go with the Navy Blue boiler suit. The color represents the working man, especially the blue collar field. Also, oil stains and dirt hide pretty well with this color.

Real G shit:

Bosozoku Tokkōfuku.

Miura-San wears a plain jumper with little to no patches and slogans on it. Because his skills and knowledge speaks for him. Let yours speak for you as well.✌️🙏

So What

It’s Saturday night. You just got off of work from a 6 day work week and you’re walking toward an alley way in Japan that’s full of little bars. You’re looking for a spot that has a nice atmosphere and chill music, maybe even have a drink, but that’s not a priority. Amidst the glowing lights of all the bars you faintly hear some Jazz music playing… you walk towards it and stumble upon a cozy spot playing Miles Davis… it’s a listening bar.

You ask the owner what’s the name of this place? He responds “TANTRA”

As the song fades, it’s almost like it starts over. You’re thinking “is it on repeat?” But no, it’s not…

Time slips by as if you were in a tantric daze. You completely forget about all your problems and have a self realization. Keep places like this close in your heart and memories. Visit again when you need to let go. ✌️

For those

Who say they are an official member of a kanjo team in Osaka. And certified! There was a time a gaijin living in Osaka “joined” an infamous kanjo team. A member from a different kanjozoku tribe stole a civic from another team and t-boned it into the gaijin’s car. The infamous kanjo team did nothing for the poor gaijin. So know that, they ain’t gonna do shit for you. Besides give you some swag. LOL 🖕

Osaka, Japan.

This message is brought to you through me as an interpreter of a kanjozoku. Thank you.

If you’re not from Osaka, you’re not a kanjozoku.

You don’t gotta take it negative. In fact be enlightened. Respect the culture. ✌️
