Hello Special 10th Anniversary Charity Event
If you've been following us for some time now, you probably remember our coverage of the Osaka Kyusha Expo last year. After 2 years of scarcity, Oda-san, the man behind Hello Special, came back with a vengeance, and put together a trouble free "boso event" near Osaka city. When you gather some of the wildest folks around, it's not an easy task at all! And it was a huge success!
Back then, most people didn't really realized it.. but it was just an appetizer! Oda-san had already something bigger in mind... The 10th anniversary of Hello Special! The date and details of the big party were announced earlier this year and it quickly became the most anticipated event of 2017.

The boss himself, in his KenMeri, ready to join the parade.
Hello Special is a small shop located in the Kyoto area, specialized in Kei Trucks (small trucks widely used in Japan to move small stuff around) and Gurachan (decorated vintage Japanese cars. More info > here <). 86 Special (pronounce "halo supeshalu". In Japanese, 8 is hachi and 6 is loku, so "HA", for 8 and "LO", for 6 > halo = hello... You got it!) is "only" 10 years old, but Oda-san has been around for a while. After retiring from the bosozoku life (he was the most respected member in the Kansai aera) he created a club dedicated to cars and bikes called Car Club Hello. The family grew rapidly and after few years, he naturally decided to launch his own shop and brand. Hello Special was born!

Toyota Cresta 70 on SSR Mark II
More than 500 cars, trucks and bikes (mainly cars though) showed up to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Hello Special. The event was huge! Bigger than mass market events organized at the same location! We're not gonna lie, it felt good! Teams from all over Japan came to Maishima Island (west part of Osaka, near Universal Studios). Some even drove all the way from Nagasaki, 800km down south! Now this is dedication!

Liberty Walk KenMeri and Savanna
Few month ago, Liberty Walk organized a really cool event in Mie (J-Nation). Oda-san was their and LB returned the favor. Kato-san brought his Mazda Savanna, which was, hands down, the nosiest car around. Probably the nosiest car ever!
