[Music]
this this right here is where our video
for the day starts let's start with some
introductions of the characters in
today's video this right here is the
drift hunter elbow you may remember him
from the video that's linked up there
and you are my name's Andy burns and
I'll be tagging along tonight and yeah
Andy here is as you can tell a
spectacular musician so let's just enjoy
this a little more as we head out for
the night
[Music]
brief stop for some fine dining I was
really looking forward to getting ice
cream but they don't have any and this
is a pole you know what I was really
enjoying that music so let's just get
back to that
pure power hahaha my purse beat the
highway gets like less and less less
crowded so thank that's why people will
race on the highway all in one night not
to say it's illegal or anything they
don't really do as much as back home
like you can about to crack down on
racing on the highway so it's just very
interesting
[Music]
today we are in Japan's car Mecca
welcome to dico gusto
[Music]
alright guys it is 10 p.m. nope 10:30
p.m. right now
and I am out in de coca tho in Yokohama
area
engines roaring away in the background
today today we're doing a car episode
and I just couldn't be more excited I
love cars in case you didn't know that
my name is norm and I love cars we'll
talk about that in a minute
for those of you who watch me regularly
you will know that I am into music
specifically the Tsugaru shamisen but
before I got into the shamisen I was
really heavily into cards you see when I
first moved back to Japan I bought
myself an s14 Silvia used to come out
here as well as hit some of the tracks
it was short-lived and it was expensive
[Music]
my car life here in Japan ended very
abruptly and somewhat seriously
I'll leave something up here so this is
the first time I have been back to this
area since I had my drift car oh my god
it feels like toke it Brit and like I
mean like that'd like not the most fun
corny cheesy way boss another really leo
feels like that it feels like how you
would imagine an anime about cars
brought to life would feel like it's
exactly like that but today albo has
brought me out here for the first time
in probably what 7 or more years and
some of these guys get really serious
like let me show you the condition of
somebody check this out
like this guy right here look at the
look at the condition of his car
look at these headlights for example I
that cannot be legal
look it down here
and look at the roof there's a pretty
good chance that he's rolled this let me
turn on the flashlight with my phone and
show you guys this this car has no rear
bumper
and this isn't even that surprising of a
condition to see the cars in the guys
who actually go to the circuit out to
the tracks and practice drifting all the
time a lot of their cars are just like
this a lot of people when they go to the
circuit of drift they actually take off
the front end or rear bumpers just to
minimize the damage failing curve
[Music]
and look at this s15 silvia right here
like he's basically just holding his
bumper together with duct tape it's a
somewhat familiar scene my old s14
Silvia also had a lot of duct tape I
done up a mountain at one point and it
got really really narrow and in trying
to retreat I ended up ripping off the
front bumper and before I could leave I
had to reattach the entire thing with
tape it was it's a terrible experience
good memory
even the minivans like to get in on the
action
maybe carry it's a thousand car with a
stick 6-speed this is this great this is
a people timid sweeper
the Norman Norman meet had like this
cool idea to switch cameras for like a
minute or two and I just want to take
this big moment to introduce myself to
you guys thanks for watching this video
is really really cool spring arm out to
this incredible place but my channel
which is a documentary series about many
facets of Japanese car culture from
being underground drifting and street
racing repulsion to the history let's
quickly
here we got like super isthmus for you
at the enca really nice evo-devo 7mr -
everywhere you
Levens over here Gaspar
[Music]
stop trying to do all the cool or moves
I really hope that you can kind of feel
something passionate I have work for
this it's now about so much more than
the cars it's about the people and the
culture and like this amazing facet of
Japanese society that is it's kind of
hidden from normal life and to be able
to experience it to be able to see what
it's like this it's like all of this
100% this the area is a great place for
car lovers alike to come and hang out
and get to know each other and just
enjoy the overall atmosphere and car
culture of Japan the number of people
out here is who design man so that's one
other things that this particular car is
very very interesting because unlike all
the other guitar which have anime
designs which are very reminiscent of
like current generation anime this is
like from the 70s like look at this ours
now you don't see this anymore this car
from like the 70s yeah any matching it
with this kind of period specific it
shows so much thought has gone into such
a work of art like this this labor of
love it's really really it's moving for
me you know it's it's so cool to see
cars like this work you can tell like
the person who made it it's just
incredibly passionate and speaking of
passion this is why we're gonna come out
here tonight with albo in case you
didn't get what he was talking about
when he said eat Pasha he Pat means eat
Thai which means hurt shop means car
Yasha is a car that hurts to look at
they say that because these people who
decorate their cars would like the anime
and everything like that
yeah Japanese people call that eat touch
up why don't we take a look at a few
[Applause]
okay well I'm pretty sure this doesn't
count as a traditional etosha that's an
idol so it's in the same realm while you
will find some etosha like this one out
here and I go gusto you're more likely
to find them in areas like Akihabara in
fact they're quite common and like you
have also I don't know how well you can
see the perspective but look how tiny
this is it it's so tiny let's go see
what gnomes up to hey buddy what's up
man we've already had some drifters
coming by oh really any cops no cops yet
so that's it that's a robot right yeah
that's the amazing thing about it is
that the police box is right there so
over here is what's called a gallery and
people will line up and to spectate this
is really the world stage of street
if you can call into the selectivity it
like Street drifting that's having like
like a world stage I mean this is as
legitimate as it gets
[Music]
I just got a really good idea since we
opened today's video with that beautiful
beautiful guitar playing I think we
should end with that song does that song
in the title
no no of the moment maybe title it is
about something related interesting
what's this play school together sake
let's go whoo there we go
ladies and gentlemen I give you Hawk
Ozaukee by Andy burns
you
