"Stancenation Japan (SNJ)" is Japan's premier car show event, held in partnership between "Stancenation.com," one of the world's largest custom car communities based in San Francisco, USA, and "Geibunsha," a long-established Japanese publisher and media company. The Osaka round of this event will be held again. Holding it in Osaka, which has its own unique car culture, is drawing attention from JDM fans worldwide. This time in Osaka, SNJ will liven up the city with even more power.
"Overwhelming Quality" Born from a Unique Aesthetic and Strict Judging
The biggest feature of this event is the extremely strict judging system for entry vehicles. Only vehicles with a thorough commitment to "Low" (vehicle height) and "Fitment" (pursuing the ultimate clearance between wheels and fenders), and with a unique aesthetic are allowed to be displayed. In the past, the pass rate has been below 30%, and passing this narrow gate to be featured on the "Stancenation" Instagram has become the highest status for custom users.
A Common Language Called "STANCE" That Transcends Genres
The venue will gather top-level custom cars from all over the country, united by the common value of "STANCE," transcending existing genre boundaries such as JDM, USDM, VIP, Drift, and Euro. The event is mainly supported by a younger generation in their 20s to early 30s who are sensitive to a wide range of cultures like fashion and music, creating a unique space where the characteristic enthusiasm of the Kansai region merges with the cool trends of the American West Coast.
Broadcasting in Real-Time to 3.8 Million Followers Worldwide
Symbolizing modern car culture where information is exchanged with fans worldwide through SNS, the event will be live-streamed from the official Instagram, which boasts about 3.8 million followers. The big wave of Japan's "JDM" style is continuously broadcasted directly from Osaka to the world. On the day of the event, there will be an exhibitor appeal runway in front of the stage and an entry car appeal parade through the venue. Short movies will be edited and uploaded later to the SN / SNJ Instagram and the YouTube channel "Stance JP Channel".
