Yuri Shibuya has two more slideshows on Media Defrag (Japan) with music by Quim Cardona (Quimtime). The 1998 Report appears to be about Rookie Skateboards and the 1999 Report captures images inside or around Supreme. If anyone knows Japanese it would be great to translate via comment.
1999:
the meeting spot with skaters ware Brooklyn Banks or Supreme. if i couldn't contact them i just go supreme. always some guys were there.
in that time supreme were more like skate shop, many skaters come there on the way to hitting other spot.
there were nothing special but in the front of supreme was meeting spot for skaters. thery are chilling watching the Videos or built a new deck at there.
it was like a living room for theme. ZOO YORK crews came there so often.
Harold made us smile he always kidding with tourist or girls. after colsing the store we go night skate to Union or somewhere.
and nextday we hang out at supereme. the day is seems like same day. but it's diffrent.
Our friend LYU sent over the following rough translation:
1998:
after i got my skateboard i ride on it everyday. one day i met with Alexy who is a photographer from France.
he said like ' i'm gona introduce you the skate company named ROOKIE.' then he tooke me to the office of ROOKIE in China town.
the office was in the building of Chinese sawing factory. i thougt the place is so cool. there were some art and pics in the large space, and the entrance door was filled up with lots of portlate pictures of artists and skaters. i could see many guys who I've seen so often in town.
only 3 girls are doing the company ROOKIE. they are good friends with ZOO and 5BORO. some artists visited the office so often.
anytime i go there they look busy for making grafity of board. while they take braek we talk. i was happy to visit there. i could be exited from them.
they were kind for me even i couldn't speak english very well. Not so many girls doing skate so we become friend easily.
they gave me a chance to take picyure. and they introduce some girl skaters for me.
the ROOKIE is one of the place i visit everytime when i come to NY.
