Asaka, like other Honda domestic car carriers, sports a light blue and bright white paint job worthy of being sung about in a Jan & Dean or Beach Boys hotrod song.

"It's not a big oil tanker just a groovy little cargo ship..." would be some fun alternate lyrics to the song "Little Honda" by The Beach Boys. Or not..
