Back in 2012-2013, Magenta travelled back and forth from France to Japan with the entire crew (at the time Soy, Leo, Vivien, Koichiro, Jimmy & Zach) to film for what was to become the SOLEIL LEVANT, a tribute to the Japanese skate scene which was largely overlooked at the time, but a big inspiration for them. There they met with rider Koichiro Uehara‘s crew of TIGHTBOOTH in Osaka, KUKUNOCHI in Yokohama, Takahiro Morita, the FESN & FATBROS crew in Nakano, Tokyo, and some of the many friends they made in Japan while visiting there for the past 6-7 years.
