Known in Japanese as decotora, short for decoration truck.

日文稱作 decotora，是 decoration truck 的縮寫。

These flashy over the top trucks with neon lights and wild artwork were a huge trend in Japan during the 70s and 80s, even more popularized by the local movie series Truck Yaro, which helped push this massive subculture even further into the spotlight.

這些閃閃發光、充滿霓虹燈和狂野藝術的卡車，在七〇和八〇年代的日本非常流行，更是被當地電影系列《卡車野郎》推廣，進一步將這個龐大的次文化推向聚光燈下。

So I did a little bit of interneting and I think I may have found my ride.

所以我稍微上網查了一下，我想我可能找到我的車了。

He told me that he's driving down to Noto with his truck driver friends.

他告訴我，他正要和他的卡車司機朋友們一起開車去能登。

So I asked if I could join and he said yes.

所以我問能不能加入，他說可以。

So I'm here at Iwate Prefecture because that's where the truck is.

所以我現在在巖手縣，因為卡車就在這裡。

And I just got off a three hour Shinkansen ride from Tokyo.

我剛搭了三小時的新幹線從東京過來。

Where I am right now is all the way up here.

And the plan is to drive south while making a few stops along the way, you know, for bathroom breaks and to refuel.

計畫是往南開，中間會停幾次，你知道的，上廁所和加油。

To eventually stop for the day in Toyama, where we'll spin spend the night in the truck.

最後會在富山停下來過夜，睡在卡車裡。

Early next morning, we'll head towards Noto.

隔天一早，我們會往能登出發。

So to make this haul a bit more interesting, my goal is to one, give 10 truckers a gift because, you know, I want to make some trucker friends.

所以為了讓這次的旅程更有趣，我的目標是，一，送十位卡車司機一份禮物，因為，你知道的，我想交一些卡車司機朋友。

Two, see inside of five different Deco trucks, and three, try the local food at each truck stop.

二，看看五臺不同的裝飾卡車，三，在每個卡車休息站品嚐當地美食。

That's Kazuya, the truck driver who I'm riding with.

這位是和我在同一臺車的卡車司機 Kazuya。

He's a member of the trucker group called Utamaro Kai, the Gekko.

他是卡車團體歌麿會月光的一員。

Truck enthusiasts all throughout Japan, with his own local chapter based in Iwate.

日本各地的卡車愛好者，他在巖手縣有自己的在地分會。

The plan is to meet up with other truck chapters along the way to Noto so they can volunteer and serve hot meals to the people of that area who were devastated by the major earthquake that happened there recently.

我們的計畫是沿途和其他卡車團體會合，前往能登，讓他們能為最近在那裡遭受重創的居民志工服務，提供熱食。

這根本就像現實版的變形金剛。

I got a little unpacking packing before we get on this journey.

在我們啟程之前，我得先做點打包整理。

It's kind of like a crunchy Japanese snack.

Be good for them when they're driving, you know, they need a little something to snack on.

開車的時候給他們吃很不錯，你知道的，他們需要點東西來吃。

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit overwhelmed by this.

老實說，我有點被這個嚇到了。

Never been one of these rides before, Y'.

我以前從來沒搭過這種車，兄弟。

He has chandeliers right here, rose stick shifter, this really cool steering wheel.

他這裡有吊燈，玫瑰色的排檔桿，還有這個超酷的方向盤。

I mean, this whole place is just velvet, I guess.

我的意思是，這裡整個地方都是絲絨，我想。

We have a Very white, musky smell in here.

這裡有股很重的、帶點麝香的味道。

All the little details here is just amazing.

這裡的每一個小細節都太驚人了。

Apparently he runs his own dump truck business, which is where Kazia works regularly.

聽說他經營自己的砂石車事業，而 Kazia 也在那裡經常工作。

And he's also the head of their Deco truck chapter.

而且他還是他們裝飾卡車分會的會長。

So here we are, the open road ahead of us.

好了，我們到了，前方是開闊的道路。

I don't know where this particular journey is going to lead, but

我不知道這趟旅程會帶我去哪裡，但是

All I do know is that I got a truckload of time before we get there and a lot of unanswered questions.

我只知道在我們到達之前還有很多時間，還有很多未解的問題。

所以我們今晚要睡在這裡，對吧？

So, so, so, so, so, so have you been driving your Deco truck all over Japan?

那麼，那麼，那麼，那麼，那麼，那麼你開著你的裝飾卡車跑遍日本了嗎？

那你當初是怎麼開始玩裝飾卡車的呢？

Apparently his dream to own a Deco truck never wavered.

看來他擁有裝飾卡車的夢想從未動搖過。

And as soon as he got his license at 18, he bought a 2 ton truck instead of a regular car.

而且他一滿18歲拿到駕照，就買了一臺兩噸的卡車，而不是一般的汽車。

He spent the next 10 years decorating it.

And now the one we're sitting in is his second customized truck.

而我們現在坐的這臺，是他的第二臺改裝卡車。

He wrapped the interior in green, his favorite color, which also matches the exterior.

他用他最喜歡的綠色包覆了內裝，這也跟外觀很搭。

Customizing everything himself, which is pretty common in their community.

所有東西都是他自己客製的，這在他們圈子裡很常見。

On the top of the trailer, Kazuya even wrote his motto, un gai soten, meaning after the clouds, the blue sky awaits.

在拖車的頂部，和也寫下了他的座右銘「雲散天晴」，意思是烏雲散去後，就會迎來晴朗的天空。

A reminder that even when things get tough, better days will always come.

這提醒著我們，即使事情變得艱難，更好的日子總會到來。

所以，這些客製化要花多少錢呢？

He says that each truck is a one of one, based uniquely on the trucker's own design.

他說每臺卡車都是獨一無二的，完全是卡車司機自己設計的。

So all the parts are custom made and even artwork painted by specialized artists.

所以所有的零件都是訂製的，甚至是請專業藝術家繪製的藝術品。

It's their belief that there's no correct design and no truck is ever completely finished.

他們相信沒有所謂正確的設計，也沒有永遠完成的卡車。

我們已經在旅程中開了好幾個小時了。

Aside from the sun that's just flashing in my eyes.

現在我們要到第一個休息站了。

Apparently all the costs including gas, stay and Any supplies are paid out of pocket by the truckers themselves.

聽說所有的費用，包括油錢、住宿和所有補給品，都是卡車司機自己掏腰包的。

But since this particular trip is a volunteer effort, they can get a free pass for express tolls if they registered in advance, saving about 30,000 yen.

不過因為這次的行程是志工性質，如果事先登記的話，高速公路過路費可以免費，省了大概三萬日圓。
