Rauh Welt Begriff x Illest "Pandora One"

Well, its been a couple of weeks since SEMA and RWB's big showing there with the Illest, Mark Arcenal Pandora One and the other Hoonigan RWB creation.  When the pictures started pouring in from all the blog outlets, I didn't know how I felt about Nakai-san's newfound mainstream success.  I suppose I now know how those people who follow indy bands feel when their favorite band goes mainstream.  Its great that all of Nakai's hard work is being recognized and is paying off for him, but at the same time I worry about the negative side of all this new attention.  Luckily his work doesn't come cheap, so hopefully it'll stay rare.  I missed the chance to see these animals in action, but hopefully soon I can check them out in person, from the comments I've been reading, its a totally different experience in person.  Until then, I can only drool from behind this computer screen.
