Hello everyone, this is GATER KAZUKI.

I went to Motor Fan Festa 2026.

This was GT-Rotaku.com's first event booth since TAS, so I was honestly quite nervous, but it turned out to be really fun. It was a day where I got to talk endlessly with fellow GT-R enthusiasts after a long time. Thank you to everyone who came.

Sold T-shirts and miniature cars

At this booth, we sold original GT-Rotaku.com T-shirts and miniature cars.

I was genuinely happy to hear comments like, "This is exactly the kind of T-shirt design I wanted." Many people also picked up the miniature cars and looked at them closely, with some asking, "Where can I buy these?" Well, you can buy them right here.

Honestly, more people than expected stopped by, and I hardly had any time to leave the booth. Next time, I'll think about the operations a bit more.

Wheels currently on sale at GT-Rotaku.com were also exhibited

In addition, we also exhibited actual wheels currently on sale at GT-Rotaku.com.

It's completely different to see them in person compared to on a screen. I'm glad we exhibited them, as I heard comments like, "They look better than in the pictures." If you're interested, please check out the product page on our site.

The GT-R exhibition was truly excellent

Enough about the booth, honestly, what excited me most was the GT-R exhibition.

A lineup of successive GT-Rs, starting with the R32, was displayed at the venue. It's truly special to see actual cars up close that you usually only see in photos or videos. I found myself unable to move from the spot several times, thinking things like, "Is this that Calsonic color...?" or "This car is in exceptionally good condition."

Even though I was supposed to be at the booth as a salesperson, I found myself standing silently in front of the GT-Rs. I have no regrets.

I also got to take a picture with Rahman Yamada-san

And this was my personal highlight of the event.

I got to take a picture with Rahman Yamada-san.

He was very friendly, and we had a lively conversation about GT-Rs for a while. I think these kinds of encounters are the best part of events.

It was really good that I came

My simple impression after the day was over is, "I'm glad I came."

A space where people who love the same cars gather in one place is truly special. The passion is completely different when you meet and talk face-to-face with people you usually only interact with online, and talk about the same GT-R in front of you.

I'll be back again. I'll bring something interesting next time too, so please say hello if you see me.

That's all from GATER KAZUKI.
