Popeye – Issue 926: The car is on my side

POPEYE magazine is the “Magazine for City Boys”.

(JAPANESE LANGUAGE ONLY)

The founders printed this on the cover of the magazine when it debuted in 1976. What’s a “city boy”? The term doesn’t appear in the dictionary and no expert panel could define it. So we felt we should explore every aspect of what this “city boy” might be. After decades of debate, it still makes for a topic of lively discussion. It can be a style or a way of thinking. To get an idea of what makes a city boy, read POPEYE magazine.  

Popeye – Issue 926: The car is on my side

Suddenly I want to see the sea at dawn, so I drive on the highway late at night.
I vaguely watch the sun rise over the early morning horizon as I hurry home.
It's not all such romantic stories, but
Even when I go shopping all day long,
When you're helping a friend move and moving their belongings,
The car always takes care of me without giving me a bad look.
Of course, it's important to take care of yourself on a daily basis so that you don't suddenly lose your temper.
Every time I get behind the wheel, whether I'm near or far, my memories grow.
If your living environment or hobbies change, you may find yourself getting a new car.
After many years, if you come across a car model that you once gave up on,
It must be nostalgic, embarrassing, and proud.
For us, cars are irreplaceable "friends."
With this in mind, we created this special feature on cars and car-related culture.
If you have a car, first make eye contact with your car.
For those who will own it, it will be an opportunity to think about the days spent with friends.
