My buddy had a Cappuccino in Florida in like the first year they were legal to import. He daily drove it, heavily modified it and loved it dearly. Sadly he passed away and the car was sold off by his mother. I loved the little thing, and took any chance I could to drive it. Miss ya, B. Thanks for the memories Alexi, loved watching this!
i'd love to see the japanese take on slightly older euro cars, like the late 70's to mid 90's ones, when the transition from boxy to round was happening. bonus points if you can find some cars from companies that no longer exist/make cars, like DAF or an old Saab.
@@niilomakinen well, i have seen the higher end Mercedes and BMW and stuff like that. but outside the either high end models, and maybe the popular mid segment stuff, i haven't seen much.
I look forward to any video you upload, don't worry about what is "good content" anything you post is good content and greatly appreciated. im always excited to watch :D
I couldn't stop giggling during this whole video. These Cappuccino's look absolutely adorable sliding around corners. hahaha 5:58 The size comparison is on point here.
I've got a Suzuki Carry and I knew the Cappuccino was small, but nothing could have prepared me for exactly how small these things are in person. Had the chance to drive one the other day and I was blown away by how damn low to the ground it was. Surprisingly it actually felt more spacious inside than my Carry does. I'm 5'11" and was relatively comfortable in it. They are such fun cars. Even the automatic transmission one I drove was a blast. It felt like you could just crank the steering wheel and it would turn on a dime where ever you wanted it to go.
Watching Cappuccinos race a skyline brings back some fun Forza memories with friends where we would all race wacky combos together. Also gives me Top Gear rallycross vibes.
Ah yes The engine that i called *Baby VRDETT* Sounds nearly identical, but in a smaller package *Love it* Edit: Ouch. That Koyori-GTR *definitely* has an engine problem. Sounds real rough. But hey, those Grip-chino actually hauls ass. Impressive.
4:10 i love voiceover sections like this where you explain certain parts of cars/the japanese scene! would love for u to do this more-- keep up the amazing vids alexi!
This was an awesome video. The Suzuki Wagon R is my favorite Kei car, I would love to see a video dedicated to those. I just love how much they look like those squished toon car fan art but like irl
Since Gran Turismo brought to light one-make series, why not see if their real life counterparts, like the Nissan March or like they have in Canada, the Nissan Sentra, or in the US, the Mazda Miata/Roadster?
-All Altezza meet or track day would be interesting to see! -JZX110W or Toyota wagon meet/track day? -Honda track racing! -Spec racing of an odd model? -Touge driving and meet lifestyle? As always I love the content! When I see the upload the stoke is real
8:45 HOWWWWWW! I own a beat and drift a Miata. I for sure get drifting a cappuccino i couldn’t imagine drifting my beat. Please please please get us some more info on this car if you see it again! This is amazing, I’ve never seen a beat drifting before. The front ends are so light every time I’ve ever tried it just pushes the front end.
He mentioned the stock Cappuchini required soft spring in the rear for more drift stability and the best tuned drift car had to use a lock of rear ebrake mid drift so that means It's very hard to drift.
omg those things are cute af!!!! in all the videos of cappuccinos you never get the scale of how tiny those really are. But with your video i finally have a reference about the size. I sooooo want one!!! I love small cars and those are amazing.
Would love to see a VW meet on here! Would be interesting to see what people in Japan do to their old Golf's and Polo's, and what sort of style they go for on them too.
This is a perfectly timed upload for me, because I’m on season 4 ep 11 on initial D where takami is racing the red cappuccino. Great video my friend! 👍
You should check out an rc drift shop. I don’t know how big rc drift cars are in Japan but I think it would make a cool video. Those guys really go into detail with those little 1/10 cars and it’s pretty entertaining seeing a train of 10 of them drifting around the track.
It would have been really informative if you went over how to make these things faster. There's not too much information on the internet about these kei cars.
For parts stuff, you can probably watch some Hot Version videos, - they have kei cars featured sometimes too, and the parts are usually shown before a shakedown. Else, usually power upgrades (with probably slapping a bigger turbo than the teensy tiny stock one), bigger and stickier tires, etc etc
Great Video Alexi! Glad to see the car covered. I owned one in 2016 and we met back then in Mobara. These cars are surprisingly fast and it was the most fun I ever had in one haha. Too bad you don’t fit in one :D
My ex-girlfriends dad had one of these and was heavily modified bigger turbo, intercooler, monster exhaust, tuned etc. He didn't drive it much and would regularly hand me the keys to drive it to keep the battery charged etc. I remember gapping a LS1 holden ute and surprising the driver. Most fun car to drive and I have an r33 boat. They rev to a million! Drifting was heart stopping as the rear axle was about a foot behind your bum and made the angles feel extreme.
These are so cool and cute, some look like a small S2000 or a small Miata, really like them and thinking to have 120-130hp in such a light rear wheel driven car makes me think i would love to drive them.
I’d love to see a Nissan Serena drift meet, Alexi. It was my family’s car and surprisingly good at getting sideways. The black one you had in a previous video was awesome!
One of my most fun cars of all time was my 1979 RX-7, with the 12A. It only had about 135HP, but it weighed almost nothing, and it drove amazingly well. Good times.
A massive 1L "big block turbo" swap that's hilarious and awesome. I'd drive things like this too if I got such cuts on the road tax. Also holy shit that little red cappuccino hauls ass. The turbo Wagon R is just chef's kiss, beautiful. It's very much THE senior citizen car in western Europe.
The cutest event ever. Featuring Tenny37s, that mini wing from wish, and big dreams in tiny cars. But seriously, I 120% want a Cappuccino or Alto Works. My two favorites Kei's.
I bought a Jimny not long after watching your night Jimny video. Best investment I've ever made, thing puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it, soo much better than my Grand Vitara even though that car was fantastic. Good things come in small sizes sometimes. P.S.- Yep I had bad steering wobble on my Jimny for months till I properly shimmed up and to my great surprise it did no damage to the tires whatsoever. Lightweight wins again.
The commitment to driving that cappuccino was sorely lacking... Surely the fans deserve limbs chopped off in pursuit of the art! 🤪 Fab video, what a great fun event!
7:45 “the wipers won’t go on, i can’t indicate right and it won’t go into 5th gear.”
ALEXI NASCAR CAPPUCHINO CONFIRMED lol
underrated comment
But if Alexi had a NASCAR cappuccino, he'd need to fit in it tru the window 😂
@@NahBullshit NASCAR Cappucino? I thought it was milk cappucino.
My buddy had a Cappuccino in Florida in like the first year they were legal to import. He daily drove it, heavily modified it and loved it dearly. Sadly he passed away and the car was sold off by his mother.
I loved the little thing, and took any chance I could to drive it.
Miss ya, B.
Thanks for the memories Alexi, loved watching this!
Hope your mate rests easy man
Great car story!
Rest in peace
Rip
Were parts hard to get?
Didn't expect Koyori skyline to show up again on this channel, truly a chekhov's gun.
It would be cool to see a foreign car trackday, like euros only or whatever and see what cars and style they're going for.
There’s a lot of those
i'd love to see the japanese take on slightly older euro cars, like the late 70's to mid 90's ones, when the transition from boxy to round was happening.
bonus points if you can find some cars from companies that no longer exist/make cars, like DAF or an old Saab.
@@scettzvill believe it or not there is quite a big scene for euro cars in japan
@scettzvill You didn't see the Volvo meetup in the "Rental Skyline Drift" Video?
@@niilomakinen well, i have seen the higher end Mercedes and BMW and stuff like that.
but outside the either high end models, and maybe the popular mid segment stuff, i haven't seen much.
I’ve never seen these things drift before, let alone in such a huge group! 😂😂 awesome video Alexi
No kidding
Frrr
I know it doesn't necessarily count, but there's a Cappuccino that drifts in Initial D lol
@@tinystar3010 that's fiction. Feels better to see it in real life isn't it?
@@JoCaTen "I know it doesn't necessarily count"
cappuccino, az-1 and honda beat are some of the coolest cars ever
I look forward to any video you upload, don't worry about what is "good content" anything you post is good content and greatly appreciated. im always excited to watch :D
Yep, this!
14:46 A Prodrive steering wheel! Love seeing how far things like this travel.
Any specific videos like this are awesome! I love model specific videos at the track like this. Nobody does it like Noriyaro.
世界中にカプチーノの魅力が発信されるのは嬉しい事だな。
他のドリ車と違って外国人にはそもそも乗れない、という事も伝わって何より😁
A neighbour of mine had one of these in the 90s, it blew my mind how tiny it was! Had a soft spot for them ever since
these things are a top 5 favorite of mine, seeing so many in one place is fantastic
I love one of your older videos where you went 4wding with a bunch of Jimny's. I'd like to see more of that stuff, it was so fun :)
an itasha R32 racing a fleet of kei cars at a drift event has to be one of the most JDM things I've ever seen
I couldn't stop giggling during this whole video. These Cappuccino's look absolutely adorable sliding around corners. hahaha
5:58 The size comparison is on point here.

Cappuccino!
Kei cars are cute in general.
My personal favorite is the Honda Today JA1 with its googly eyes. It's tiny! It's cute!
I'd love to see an NSX meeting if such a thing exists
There's a meet for everything in Japan.
Yes please! Went to the comments to post such a request) happy to having seen your comment!
this please!
@@ToreDL87 yes. Like even CLUB RE and Stars of Pleiades.
@@AKarinskiy amin.
Ah yes
The engine that i called *Baby VRDETT*
Sounds nearly identical, but in a smaller package
*Love it*
Edit: Ouch. That Koyori-GTR *definitely* has an engine problem. Sounds real rough.
But hey, those Grip-chino actually hauls ass. Impressive.
please keep uploading theres no one else on this site like you. literally the best content we could ask for
Still cant get over how good this channel is and has always been, truly a massive thank you Alexi for countless hours of entertainment
Cappuccino is such an underrated Monster
ive never heard someone refer to the cappuccino of all cars as a monster lmao
Monster 💀
@@supawonk You may want to re-watch the 4th stage of Initial D. 👍
@@supawonkI giggled reading this
more of a pocket-monster ...
Too good 😂 now we need to see Cappuccino vs ProSucc
4:10 i love voiceover sections like this where you explain certain parts of cars/the japanese scene! would love for u to do this more-- keep up the amazing vids alexi!
these drivers turn cappuccino into espresso. Love it ❤️
I love those little things, they look like so much fun even with so little power
This was an awesome video. The Suzuki Wagon R is my favorite Kei car, I would love to see a video dedicated to those. I just love how much they look like those squished toon car fan art but like irl
Would love to see more model specific videos! I am not that knowledgeable of different drift cars, so these are a good entry point for me.
I own a cappuccino in Minnesota and love it! Not confident to drift it but it will definitely slide in intersections haha
Since Gran Turismo brought to light one-make series, why not see if their real life counterparts, like the Nissan March or like they have in Canada, the Nissan Sentra, or in the US, the Mazda Miata/Roadster?
There was also a factory-supported Nissan Micra (March) cup in Canada :)
@@gregormonkey I was very surprised how small that GTR made them look, lol.
@@gregormonkey what about NR-A ROADSTER CUP?
-All Altezza meet or track day would be interesting to see!
-JZX110W or Toyota wagon meet/track day?
-Honda track racing!
-Spec racing of an odd model?
-Touge driving and meet lifestyle?
As always I love the content! When I see the upload the stoke is real
Thank you so much for this! Awesome to see some Kei content.
If ever possible, I would love to see any of the Daihatsu Copen meets 😁
coffee and a new noriyaro episode, what a way to start the day

@@SI0AX yah beats just have no weight in the front, they are mid engine rwd, mine will push the front before the back ever thinks about coming out
@@pop_pops_garage Oh, didn't know it was mid engine. That explains it.
@@SI0AX yes sirrrr
omg those things are cute af!!!! in all the videos of cappuccinos you never get the scale of how tiny those really are. But with your video i finally have a reference about the size. I sooooo want one!!! I love small cars and those are amazing.
5:30 HAKUI KOYORI SIMP MY MAN. Car probably runs on mayonnaise instead of oil.
My sister owned one of the first in the UK. I can honestly say it was the most fun car I have ever driven.... and I've driven a few!
Classic minis would be a dream, the community is huge in japan
That kei truck at the end would've been cool to see more of.
Seeing one-make track days is super fun! I think the next one make event you have to go to will definitely have to be a Probox meeting!
They look like little chonkers. Adorable cars. Thank you for showcasing Kei Cars. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
Would love to see a VW meet on here! Would be interesting to see what people in Japan do to their old Golf's and Polo's, and what sort of style they go for on them too.
the vibes are immaculate in this one
Best handling beverage out there
3:52 takahashi ryosuke moment
This was inspiring, I hope to be as good as them in my cappuccino someday
Got an insta?
This is a perfectly timed upload for me, because I’m on season 4 ep 11 on initial D where takami is racing the red cappuccino. Great video my friend! 👍
Oh boy... i wish i still had mine... A big like for this video, as a kei car lover i could't ask for better content
So glad alexi is a larger human like myself always hard figuring out if I would fit in some vehicles or not and alexi solves it
every initial d fan knows the cappuccino
Really loved the little build breakdown there, fantastic stuff as always!
a civic meet would be pretty interesting, would like to see how they build them in japan
Mom, Alexi just uploaded!
You should check out an rc drift shop. I don’t know how big rc drift cars are in Japan but I think it would make a cool video. Those guys really go into detail with those little 1/10 cars and it’s pretty entertaining seeing a train of 10 of them drifting around the track.
The three cappuccinos look like little shopping carts next to the skyline lmao but they’re fast
It would have been really informative if you went over how to make these things faster. There's not too much information on the internet about these kei cars.

great vid as per usual , theres a load of us into the VQ skylines in the uk so to see some v35's shredding or just a static meet would be epic
13:32
what a lovely picture, everyone had loads of fun
good times
8:00 - the best side bit in a noriyaro video is seeing Alexi try and fit in awkwardly sized vehicles. Someone make a compilation surely 🤣
The wheels and blue on the thumbnail car is fantastic
Love my Cappuccino! It's such a little giggle generator to chuck around.
was not expecting koyori to make a surprise appearance on the itasha car in this video
Great Video Alexi! Glad to see the car covered. I owned one in 2016 and we met back then in Mobara. These cars are surprisingly fast and it was the most fun I ever had in one haha.
Too bad you don’t fit in one :D

The kai truck dipped and 3 wheeled once you panned away always enjoy watching your vids buddy
Love the background narration on this, reminded me of your OG videos
These are so cool and cute, some look like a small S2000 or a small Miata, really like them and thinking to have 120-130hp in such a light rear wheel driven car makes me think i would love to drive them.
more kei-cars!!! it i such an underrated car category. i love it 😭
I’d love to see a Nissan Serena drift meet, Alexi. It was my family’s car and surprisingly good at getting sideways. The black one you had in a previous video was awesome!
Can we jus appreciate noriyaro's production evolution tho 🤯
One of my most fun cars of all time was my 1979 RX-7, with the 12A.
It only had about 135HP, but it weighed almost nothing, and it drove amazingly well.
Good times.
It's all cool to see Alexi!
Show us whatever you have time for!
Great video. I am always happy to see new content on the Cappuccino. I look forward to the day I complete my Cappuccino track build. 🤙
Always thrilled to see an upload by you thanks for another great video
1 Video 1 month? I’m grateful already 😂 Thank you Alexi for the uploads! ❤️

Just leaving a comment on how much I appreciate all your content!
I would love to see a rotary meet or drift event again!
Anyways lovely video again from you Alexi, greetings from Germany! :D
Ooh! It's so cool that there are events that specialize in those cute things!
The cutest event ever. Featuring Tenny37s, that mini wing from wish, and big dreams in tiny cars. But seriously, I 120% want a Cappuccino or Alto Works. My two favorites Kei's.
A Daihatsu Midget meet would be fun! I recently saw one in a Bozuzoka style and it was wild looking!
Koyori - lets goooo!
This is top tier content! Thank you!
I was on planes back from japan, so glad I get to sit down and watch this but sad I missed the event
Hearing Alexi say he could potentially deal with a beat gives me hope for driving one as someone who's 6'1"
The intro is legendary
I bought a Jimny not long after watching your night Jimny video.
Best investment I've ever made, thing puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it, soo much better than my Grand Vitara even though that car was fantastic.

Lightweight wins again.
Sunday morning meet & cruise videos would be amazing!
I think drift days at tracks you've never shown on the channel before would be interesting content
3:51 probably the most direct comparison between a kei-car and a normal car!
The black cappuccino with the big wing is awesome!
video was excellent btw, keep up the good work alexi
5:13 no it's the Koyori Skyline 😂
The commitment to driving that cappuccino was sorely lacking... Surely the fans deserve limbs chopped off in pursuit of the art!
🤪
Fab video, what a great fun event!
I thought this was only possible in gran tourismo. Thanks for another upload Alexi
I love this Suzuki Wagon R and Cappucino especially the RM version of Cappucino. Made me miss Gran Turismo 5 again.
Nothing like watching a new Noriyaro video to get me more hyped about being in Japan in less than two weeks.
Everything and anything! please just upload more. I want to see you working on your projects too!
Cappucino racing is one of the best things I've ever seen
please post more in general, literally will watch everything
