The 2016 edition of Mooneyes International Magazine captures the brand at a milestone moment, celebrating 30 years of Mooneyes in Japan. This issue digs into the company’s origins—from the early Motomachi shop to the formation of the now-iconic Honmoku Area-1—and paints a vivid picture of how Japanese hot-rod and custom-bike culture took shape under the Mooneyes banner. It also looks back at early contributors like Wildman and the underground art, pinstriping, and graffiti that helped define the brand’s visual identity.
The magazine features a strong lineup of custom builds, including classic hot rods, vintage bikes, and standout machines like the ’73 Harley-Davidson XLH1000 “MOON Speedster.” Alongside the mechanical highlights, you get a look at the broader lifestyle that surrounds the scene—garage culture, Mooneyes Café food features, and the distinct SoCal-meets-Japan aesthetic that gives the brand its global appeal. Event coverage from the 2016 Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show rounds it out, capturing the energy of one of the biggest custom-culture gatherings in Asia.
As always, the issue doubles as a full bilingual (Japanese/English) product catalogue, showcasing Mooneyes’ apparel, accessories, decals, parts, and lifestyle goods from that year. It serves both as a time capsule and a visual guide to the world of Mooneyes in 2016—equal parts history, culture, machines, and merchandising.
