Next-generation concept cars in all their glory… Japan-U.S. showdown! Motor Show “Beauty Companion” Bold Standing Photos
Local Report!

The latest models filled with future technology and beautiful women were intoxicating–a dream-like event was held simultaneously in Japan and the United States at the beginning of November. The dream-like event was held at the same time in Japan and the U.S. in early November. Let us report to you the atmosphere of the event as the frenzy continues to heat up.
The “Japan Mobility Show” held in Ariake (Koto-ku), Tokyo, was the successor to the popular “Tokyo Motor Show” and was held for the first time in four years. 11 days from October 26 to November 5, the show attracted more than 1.11 million visitors this year.
Mika Okumura, a companion in charge of the TOMY booth, said.
This year we may have fewer companions than in previous years. But we tried our best to pose as well as our main car!”
Meanwhile, the SEMA Show was held in Las Vegas from October 31 to November 3. It is one of the world’s largest festivals for modified cars.
About 2,000 companies set up booths on a site about six times the size of the Tokyo Dome. Each venue was connected by underground tunnels, and unmanned vehicles drove around, giving visitors a sense of the near future.
One person who attracted a lot of attention was AKI, who is in charge of the famous oil brand Liquimori. He is from Japan and gave us an interview in Japanese.
I usually work as a show model mainly in the United States. It was refreshing to pose astride a car.
The high-level battle between beautiful companions from Japan and the U.S. will never be settled!
