agreed. and easy to tell he has background in cinematography. not to dismiss his career on youtube over the years. the quality is absolutely second to none and keeps getting better. without knowing Chris personally, i'd still say he has a pretty solid work ethic, or so, to deliver quality video after video.

most non car people that make a "what is drifting" video and theyre usually trash and filled with inaccuracies and cringy stuff. This video was amazing and couldnt have shown drifting any better, everything was so well worded and concise but accurate. Amazing job Chris, ill definitely be using this video to show someone what drifting is
Big big fan of Noriyaro! This is like a crossover episode that I never expected! Big ups to Chris for showing more people what drifting is and talking about it's origins 👍🏻
Obviously it's rather thrilling experience, but drifting on a track is actually really safe. Probably much safer than cycling across Japan with bears or eating a mountain of crispy Japanese fried chicken. 🤷♂️
I've got a brilliant idea: Put him in the passenger seat with Daigo Saito behind the wheel. In tandem drifts, he's always keeping his car as close as possible to the front car with only a couple inches to spare
@@ixm2unvrzet him to ride along with either Daigo Saito or Naoki Nakamura both those drivers are so freaking good behind the wheel and drive very close like inches car to car, would love to see Chris react incar to Naoki doing a high speed smooth burst pass or backwards entry. 😂

Nice to see Alexi on here. I am a drifter and want to add that its all about being close to the EDGE while having the complete control. Its an immense feeling as youve felt! Good edit here
“But I’ve always been very dismissive and very narrowminded, I just sort of say: “Right drifting? Isn’t that just going around a corner really fast?” But when you’re sandwiched between 2 others cars going 100mph, pressed into the back of your seat, hoping the car won’t loose control, and smoke billows in through the windows from the smoldering tires below, it’s hard to deny that drifting is one of the most exhilarating experiences you can have. And I can see now, why people obsess over it so damn much.” Never have I heard a better describtion about drifting!
Finally, the content I was truly looking for. I love your "regular" vids, but I was waiting and hoping to find one where you covered drifting. I hope this flings you down the rabbit hole into the amazing subculture, including the whole street scene, Bosu, Touge drifting, all that.
Hey there Chris!! Long time watcher and lover of your channel! Just wanted to let you know if you find this comment that I really appreciate the professionalism and docu-style you put into your videos, the effort can be clearly scene and makes your content more than just entertainment but educational as well. Keep up the great work!
And on tonight's car show: ryotaro laughs. Chris wears a helmet and a man sells his car Chris:*does not die* Ryotaro: and on that terrible disappointment good night!
Not going to lie, as a car enthusiast I was worried a non car channel would do this topic a terrible disservice as most non car channels covering car topics do but I was very impressed! Thank you for the awesome content! You gained a new subscriber!
It's not everyday that Chris mentions any anime in his videos... loved the fact Initial D was brought up in this one :D and ofc, Ryotaro's expressions in this video were hilarious 😂😂

Yep, it also translates to street racing. Japanese street racers keep watch for traffic and race to improve as drivers. American street racers just do it for the thrill of disobeying the law
@@philspaghet Except it depends on the street racers. Bosozoku does it almost entirely for the thrill of breaking the law. Tbh I'm not entirely against street racing as long as they do it away from congested areas.
You are getting the wrong impression here. Your ordinary Japanese driver are one of the worse drivers I have come across. They are as bad as our drivers back home. They rarely use signals to indicate which way they want to turn at junctions. Most drivers do not observe the speed limit when passing through residential areas as they take short cuts through it. One of the biggest bad habit here is using their mobile phones while driving. I have been living in Japan for a year now and this is what I observed in my town. On the bright side, they do let pedestrians pass/cross at street crossing or at exits/entrances - that is when they are actually watching the road instead of their smart phone. Racers are better drivers than your ordinary Japanese drivers because they know it could cost them their live.
Story time: My fiancé booked us a surprise trip to Japan - I've always wanted to go, and as such I've been following you for a long time as I love your vids! I also love cars, so I've been following Noriyaro for a long time too. When I found out about the trip I suggested to my partner that we binge your videos, but she's already seen the majority of the Tokyo/Kyoto based ones, which was a nice surprise. Yesterday, I get home from a work trip abroad and she's talking about drifting this, drifting that, so I suggested Noriyaro's content, and she surprised me for a third time! The final surprise is that thanks to this video, she found the Festival of Motorsport on the 5th April near enough to where we are staying, and that we're now going to see that too 😄 All that, you just randomly bumping into Noriyaro (though if you head to Ebisu enough it's a given 😜) - feels like stars aligning or worlds colliding. Awesome :) Anyway, cool vid as per and thanks!!
DÉJÀ VU!!! I've just been in this place before Higher on the street And I know it's my time to go Calling you and the search is mystery Standing on my feet It's so hard when I try to be me uoooh!!! DÉJÀ VU
Its always so rewarding to watch your videos with a black tea in the morning with all this quarantine. Its as if we are travelling with you into those experiences that you have. We laugh with you and your friends and are happy to have learned something new at the end of each video.
This is now one of my favorite videos of yours Chris. Cool that you hooked up with noriyaro for this one. If it is possible, you should get into this. It is a hell of a lot of fun, and very therapeutic. It will make your balls grow bigger. lol
"Work hard behind the computer, then come out to Japan to blow it all on lovely cars". Chris, in one sentence you have just described my life's goal and the reason I actually try at uni studying Computer Science, so I can make a shit ton of money and blow it all on project cars and track days - and visit Japan a lot for a multitude of reasons.
Chris, I don't know what you've changed in your life that enables you to put out regularly scheduled, high quality content but it's much appreciated! Amazing work!
You've turned a subject I literally don't give two shits about into something that genuinely excited and amazed me. You struck the right balance between kickass action and cultural background. You had the right amount of gags and soundbites, the interviews felt effortless and unprompted, and your summary at the end hit the right notes - nothing felt out of place. It feels like you've levelled up as a filmmaker. You need a new coat, though. :p
I fell in love with Japan and a lots of aspects of this country. As a kid, I was looking at the VHS vids of streetracers from Japan with awe of envy, and was fiddeling on the cars of my rich neighbours. It was the time of the Ford Sierra Cosworth and first Subaru Imprezas. Now I'm an adult, and I drive a Lexus IS300 (Toyota Altezza), that is an incredible car. It is not "fast" even if it is in a way, but DAMN does that thing drift. Without japanese car culture, I would probably be an other person. I would have a lot of thanks to send to Japan, but I will spare this for a public video. ^^
“It felt like I was in a vr headset or some thing” ... no sausage, that’s called real life 🤩 This vid looked like loads of fun - I’m very jealous. Your hair looked very sharp at the end of the editing 😎
I think this channel is going in the right direction. About time Chris makes the transition from covering his personal experiences into covering the myriads of Japan’s popular subcultures. Let’s just hope we don’t have to wait too long for each upload.
@Filip Gasic Right. I would love to get something like The Top or Night of Fire in this vid, but I understand why he wouldn't do it. Or he can use royalty-free eurobeat.
Dropping a like doesn't feel like enough. I've been following your channel for years and always wanted to see you go to Ebisu. Even commented that on a video way back when. To see you finally make it out there and drop such an amazing video is so awesome!

@@autohmae Those "on" sound of "front", "turn on". And "do", those vowels sounded surprisingly like a native speaker to me
The best japan-based foreign youtuber AND drifting? I clicked this video with more excitement than Natsuki meeting Hyde!
“It felt like I was in a vr headset or some thing” ... no sausage, that’s called real life 🤩 This vid looked like loads of fun - I’m very jealous. Your hair looked very sharp at the end of the editing 😎
don't clown the guy. he's normie
Running in the 90s!!!
I'm so glad you finally visited ebisu it's so fun and a great but expensive hobby
I think this channel is going in the right direction. About time Chris makes the transition from covering his personal experiences into covering the myriads of Japan’s popular subcultures. Let’s just hope we don’t have to wait too long for each upload.
Mate, you don't know how happy I am seeing this. You just made my day. Thanks :)
At the start of the video I said "where's Alexi" and the camera pans and there he is. Nice. Bonus points for Dori Dori.
I was disappointed to hear stock soundtracks & not eurobeat in the background... :/
Well he has to get this vid monetized
@Filip Gasic Right. I would love to get something like The Top or Night of Fire in this vid, but I understand why he wouldn't do it. Or he can use royalty-free eurobeat.
@@yozora1047 This is because of copy-right, right? YT doesn't block a video for copy-right, it just demonetizes?
SI0AX Copyright-related issues, yes. Demonetization is most likely to happen but if push comes to shove, blocks or takedowns could happen.
Dave Rogers is on TH-cam, he might have authorized the use of his new tracks.
These videos are getting better than anything on TV. Keep it up forever please !
Dropping a like doesn't feel like enough. I've been following your channel for years and always wanted to see you go to Ebisu. Even commented that on a video way back when. To see you finally make it out there and drop such an amazing video is so awesome!
"I can't feel my face"
You're wearing a helmet Chris.
