Sabukaru’s inaugural issue is a journey through Tokyo’s layered pulse — a city where underground stories meet icons like Takeshi Kitano, here in an exclusive interview. Taking its name from sabukaru (サブカル), the Japanese shorthand for “subculture,” the magazine celebrates what lives beyond the mainstream: independent voices, alternative aesthetics, and unexpected connections across continents.
At its core: a portrait of Thaiboy Digital. Surrounding him, the visual language of Tim Lindacher (Berlin), the sonic textures of Palmistry (London), and contributions from Shinichirô Watanabe, Yoon Ash, Bloodz Roi, Ichiro Tanida, Mike Sunday, and Freq.
A bold, borderless snapshot of contemporary culture — anchored in Tokyo, resonating everywhere.
