Overview
While on tour as a photographer for numerous punk, hardcore, and indie bands (including Jeff Rosenstock, Minus the Bear, Cursive, Alkaline Trio, Har Mar Superstar, Lawrence Arms, Selby Tigers, Mike Park and more) , Japanese photographer Hiro Tanaka spent 10 years compiling a naughty notebook filled with NSFW slang words and crude drawings. Tanaka was known to have a pen and notebook with him at all times that he filled from cover to cover with english colloquialisms, dirty phrases, slang, jokes, and drawings that he would learn from the bands, fans and other people he met travelling.

Reviews
Hiro's notebook quickly became a series of notebooks, and Hiro studied their contents tirelessly until his command of American slang was beyond that of anyone else I knew. His conversational English was still limited, but as a slang speaker, he had no equal. , - Brendan Kelly, vocalist of The Lawrence Arms Hiro helps me see the road with fresh eyes, perhaps similar to how I envisioned it as a teenager. When I look at his photos, it's not the wild, rock and roll shots that most affect me...but the stillness of the salt and pepper shaker, the crack in the sidewalk. , - Tim Kasher, vocalist of Cursive
