XLARGE Drops First-Ever Collab With Takumi Ramen
From Tokyo's underground music scene and the rise of hi-fi listening bars to the bustling izakayas lining its streets, XLARGE's special edition tee with Takumi Ramen pays tribute to the city's fast-paced slurp-and-go ramen culture that sets the rhythm of its streets. The uniform-inspired T-shirt design features XLARGE's gorilla icon at the front panel and 'Sapporo Ramen' lettering, spotlighting the restaurant's classic dish. The T-shirt arrives in white and black colorways, accompanied by a variety pack of branded stickers in green, red, black, orange and blue.
Takumi Ramen was founded in 2007 in Düsseldorf, Germany. With the motto, 'No Ramen, No Life,' it has since gained recognition for its warm, flavor-packed broths and Japanese street-style food. To celebrate the collaboration, XLARGE and Takumi Ramen held a special event in Berlin that blended food, fashion, and music. 'Japanese quality meets global culture.' This collaboration marks a bold step forward for XLARGE — a project that fuses fashion and ramen into a global cultural phenomenon.

Leaked Prelude Pricing: Too Pricey for Its Own Good?
The Honda Prelude is making a comeback. On paper, it has all the right ingredients for a frugal sports coupe: sleek styling, a hybrid powertrain, and a nameplate that still resonates with enthusiasts. But according to a leak from Japanese outlet Creative Trend, it might arrive with a price tag that could alienate the very buyers who made it iconic. According to the leak, Honda will officially debut the new Prelude on September 4, and orders in Japan will open the next day. The first production run will be limited to just 2,000 units. The leaked Japanese MSRP puts the 2026 Prelude at ¥6,179,800, or roughly $41,000. That's significantly more than the Civic Type R, which starts at ¥4,997,300 in Japan. It also puts it uncomfortably close to the price of more performance-focused cars. A limited-run ON Edition will also be offered at launch for ¥6,540,000 (about $43,400), with unique details like a black roof and bundled extras. However, buyers must pay in full, are limited to one unit, and cannot resell it after purchase. For a Honda coupe, that's unusually exclusive. The Prelude shares its platform with the Civic, but Honda is treating it as more than a badge-engineering job. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter hybrid system with two electric motors, paired with a CVT. Brakes and suspension are adapted from the Civic Type R, and the Prelude gets heated seats, a digital dash, and a BOSE sound system. Adaptive dampers and 19-inch wheels come standard, along with Google-based infotainment. It seems like less of a reskinned Civic coupe, and more like a grown-up Type R that you can cruise in without needing a chiropractor. Its ¥6,179,800 ($41,000) price tag feels especially steep when compared to what else the market offers. The Nissan Z starts at ¥5,497,800 ($36,500) in Japan, while the BMW Z4 - imported from Austria - starts at ¥4,995,000 ($33,200). Both are rear-wheel-drive and pack more power. The Prelude, by contrast, is front-wheel-drive only and CVT-exclusive. If built in Japan, export fees could bump the US price even higher. Initially, we thought it would go head-to-head with cheaper, enthusiast-approved options like the Toyota GR86 and Mazda MX-5 Miata. But if not, it's hard to see how this version of the Prelude will connect with the younger buyers it seems to target. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

5 Japanese Cars That Will Have Massive Price Drops in the Fall of 2025
Summer is halfway over, which means you can start looking forward to not just cooler weather, but hot deals on cars. If you are in the market for a new ride and have your sights set on a Japanese brand of car, there's good news on the horizon: during the fall of 2025 several makes and models from Japan are set to see their prices go down, potentially giving drivers a good deal to get behind the wheel. See Next: Try This: GOBankingRates got in touch with Alex Black, automotive expert and chief marketing officer of EpicVIN. He shared the five Japanese cars that will have massive price drops in fall of 2025 based on EpicVIN auction trends and dealership stock. 2021 to 2023 Toyota Camry Estimated Price Drop: $2,000 and $2,500 Toyota produced too many of these Camrys before focusing more attention on hybrids. Black has seen lots of used ones available at the dealers and customers desire SUVs, with large discounts will likely sell through metal ahead of 2026 deliveries. For You: 2020 to 2022 Honda Accord Estimated Price Drop: $1,800 and $2,200 'The new-gen Accord isn't selling like Honda expected,' Black said. 'More used Accords are entering the market as leases expire. More of a good thing? No, it means resale values decrease.' 2022 and 2023 Nissan Altima Estimated Price Drop: up to $3,000 According to Black, the Altima market is slow for Nissan and fleet renters are disposing of thousands in the fall. 'That'll bring the private market prices lower as well,' Black said. 2020 to 2022 Subaru Impreza Estimated Price Drop: $1,500 and $2,000 'Crosstrek and Outback are winning over Subaru customers,' Black explained. 'The sparkle of Impreza has worn off and used ones are stockpiling at the dealership.' 2021 Mazda CX Estimated Price Drop: around $2,000 In Black's professional opinion, the car market's full of mini crossovers nowadays. 'Mazda's putting out new CX versions, so used CX-5s will need to be priced lower to be competitive,' Black said. 'We're getting advance pre-season signals that prices of a few favorite Japanese rides are heading south later in the fall,' Black explained, adding a pro tip to buyers hoping to cash in on the drop in pricing in the second half of 2025. 'If you're purchasing later this year, go bargain hunting in late October or early November. That's the time of year car people panic to make year-end clearance-doubly so if interest rates remain high and buyers continue to wait.'

Pharrell's auction house sold a 'holy grail' watch collection for over $1 million. These are the 5 priciest pieces.
The musician and entrepreneur's online auction house, Joopiter, said it sold just over $1 million worth of luxury watches, including Rolex, Cartier, and Herms models, that were put up for bidding in July. The auction was described as a curated selection of collectible watches that span generations of style. It's unclear how many of them, if any, were part of Williams' private collection. He's been spotted in watches from many of the brands that went up for auction. Robertino Altieri, CEO of said the "eclectic collection featured some holy grails, vintage pieces, and Japanese watches that sold at some surprising prices." For example, two one-of-a-kind watches from tsuka Ltec each sold for $12,500 and $13,750 apiece, respectively, about $10,000 more than the brand typically retails for. Five watches in the collection made up the majority of the $1 million grand total. Together, these items cost $756,250. These are the most expensive watches sold in the auction, and how much they went for. Rolex Daytona Ref. 16519 'Sodalite': $43,750 The Daytona "Sodalite" sold on the "higher end of its expected value," Altieri watch — made with a rare blue sodalite dial and eight diamond indexes — is the first Daytona model to be produced in white gold with a stone dial."Rolex remains king when it comes to the secondary market," Altieri said. This Cartier Tank Cintre is a "one-of-a-kind model that was made as a special order," Altieri said. He wasn't surprised the watch sold for so much at auction."This unique dial color makes it especially special, as the blue is extremely rare for Cartier watches," he told Business described it as a unique creation made through Cartier's exclusive New Special Order program, which ended in 2025, watch publication Hodiknee reported in April. This specific Rolex Day-Date model has a bezel set with 24 baguette-cut diamonds — two for each platinum hour mark. Altieri said it's an off-catalog watch, meaning it's part of Rolex's exclusive secret menu that isn't promoted in its catalog or website."Williams has a flair for rare dial colors and off-catalog pieces," Altieri said. "These tend to do well, so it was expected that these watches would sell around market value." Richard Mille RM030 PSG: $137,500 Williams is no stranger to the Richard Mille brand. He's been spotted wearing the sporty watches on many occasions. The RM030 PSG is a limited-edition collaboration with the football club Paris Saint-Germain. The final price was somewhat shocking for Altieri, considering similar models list for around $250,000."The sale price could potentially be attributed to the description, which suggested that it may require servicing," he said. Patek Philippe Celestial Ref. 6104R-001: $387,500 Despite the hefty price tag for the highest-ticket item sold in the auction, Altieri said it's considered a low point for a Patek Philippe with a market value between $400,000 and $700,000. It features a diamond bezel and a starry dial."While this low selling price may be shocking to some, this is somewhat expected as a piece like this is very particular and has a small client base seeking it out," Altieri said.
