A special edition of MOTO-BUNKA News Magazine, created to celebrate the 5th anniversary. This issue covers a wide range of BMX genres - street, freestyle, flatland, and race - centred around interviews with the diverse individuals who have shaped the scene over the past five years. It’s a major upgrade from the previous MOTO-BUNKA News Magazine Vol.3 - now in full A4 size with 138 pages packed with content, and full English translations. Most of the interviews were conducted face-to-face, capturing raw words, real atmosphere, and honest stories that dig deep into each person’s essence. The magazine features key figures who continue to lead the BMX scene in Japan and around the world, including Satoshi Deguchi, president of JFBF; top pro racer Asuma Nakai; Hiroshi Uehara, founder of 430; X GAMES gold medalist Yohei Uchino; Yumi Tsukuda, a standout on the global stage; Van Homan, who has paved the way in the BMX industry; women’s BMX media The Bloom BMX; and Will Smyth, founder of DIG BMX. It also includes a feature on all 38 active local BMX crews across Japan as of 2025, as well as an art collection themed on the iconic MOTO-BUNKA Earth Logo, created by 34 artists from 12 different countries.
