Published in 2006 as a limited edition of 1,000 copies, Carburetor is a rare photography book dedicated to the influential Japanese rock band Blankey Jet City. This visually striking volume captures the raw energy, intensity, and unique aesthetic of the band, offering an intimate look into their career and onstage presence.
Formed in 1987, Blankey Jet City—comprising Kenichi Asai (vocals, guitar), Toshiyuki Terui (bass), and Tatsuya Nakamura (drums)—became a defining force in Japan’s alternative rock and punk scene before disbanding in 2000. Their sound blended rock and roll, rockabilly, and punk, establishing them as one of the most distinctive bands of their era.
With its evocative black-and-white imagery, Carburetor serves as both a visual archive and a collector’s item, offering fans a rare glimpse into the artistic world of Blankey Jet City.
