This issue spans Autumn 2013 to Spring 2014, continuing MOONEYES’ tradition of blending custom-car/bike culture, vintage-inspired lifestyle, and a full product catalogue. Clocking in at 144 pages, it offers a mix of editorial content, build showcases, culture snapshots and the brand’s clothing and gear catalogue. Mooneyes+1
The volume includes a “Sneak Peak” of the Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show 2013 — with interviews and photos of guest builders and custom shops from around the world, including acts like Old Crow Speed Shop, Cro Customs, Noise Cycles, and others. Mooneyes
Beyond the show coverage, Vol. 12 dives into various cultural and build-focused stories: a “Sixties Customizing” themed piece ("Futuristic Flash — Rise Above the Times"), a feature on a MOONEYES High-Ace van, an article titled “Link Beyond the Shop in Kyushu Kumamoto,” a nostalgia-driven photo essay by artist/photographer Shige Suganuma (“When We Were All Young”), and a look at an eclectic mini-car collection by artist/pinstriper Wild Ishii.

As always for Moon Illustrated, the issue includes a full-colour, bilingual (Japanese/English) mini-catalogue covering MOONEYES clothing, decals, parts, accessories, and novelties from that period — making Vol. 12 both a cultural read and a functional catalog.
