Co-published in November 2009 by Taisho, the photographer's own imprint that usually issues editions of about a thousand copies, and Label M. The pages show his own Skyline GT-R with its high-performance engine, the whole body in a beautiful rouge. He had already published Car of Mine in 2001, about his former yellow GT-R. At 420 x 420 mm, almost the size of his original prints, and about 3 kg in weight, the book has a very large format and is heavy. Sanai keeps cars out of necessity, to reach shooting locations several hundred kilometres from Tokyo, and the vehicle seems a kind of assistant, partner and even friend in his work.
