Take care of yourself Jimmy, damn, get some sleep and drink a bunch of water. I feel like your dad, FFS. Thanks for bringing us along, it's all very cool. I'm almost 60, so I am living vicariously through you, thanks, lol.
Jimmy, I'm sure you'll be busy participating in Matsuri at ebisu this weekend but one of our favorite meets in the Tokyo area happens once a month, every 3rd Sunday of the month at 0700 up in the mountains in Okutama and it's got alot of the more classic cars. You should try to make it out to one of the Okutama meets on one of your trips out to Japan, you won't regret it.
It was cool we got to see you there! What a surprise. Sorry, we (my son & I) didn't introduce ourselves even if we wanted to. It's the first time my son actually saw someone he recognizes from TH-cam in real life. And we saw more than one!
The touristy stuff is what makes me really want to go to Japan. Ebisu is a money pit, but trinkets from car shops and visiting the cool places we see on IG? Priceless.
Hey Jimmy, ever thought about doing a rebuild series for the SRZ? I was watching the video of you on the Prizzamike channel and you were talking about how all the parts in the Z were what you could afford at the time. Since then you've built so many SRs and with how far engine technology has come since then, could be a way to reintroduce the iconic Z to new followers as well as give the car that started everything for you the love and upgrade it deserves. Just an idea. Loving the Japan vlogs
S15 and the dream! Jimmy and Neal from juice box doing a Japan road trip. Going to OG shops and tracks would be so cool. Especially if they get to talk to older d1 drivers and teams.
Been watching Jimmy so long that I click the like button before the video even starts. Loving the Japan tourism vlogs, can’t wait to see y’all rip at Ebisu again as well! Big shout out to Austin for getting these edited and posted for us to enjoy!
Thank you, Jimmy for these vlogs. I work as a CNA in a hospital and on my more crummy days, these videos are what I have to look forward to when I go on my breaks. They save my day because if I don’t finish the video during one break, I still have my others to finish it
You’re living every JDM car guy’s absolute dream vacation/trip……mine included! Great content and enjoy living the JDM dream cuz we’re loving it through you right now for sure!!!!!!!!!
American car culture is awesome in Japan they have been doing the lowriders for decades 60 and 70’s impalas switches they’ve been loving it forever like we love their cars
Im also in Japan at the moment, and these videos are really encapsulating what its really like just being here and driving around like no videos ive seen before
Its cool to see Jimmy at the second meet spot in the ocean. Been waiting for you to go there, just like Dustin Williams, NIghtRide, Sammit, Noriyaro and all the other youtube car guys I watch.
I loved those nights where all the boys link up and you’d go cruising all night and pull till 5.30 or 6 in the morning. Then sleep in the work CARPARK for 8 haha This video is wicked.
Daikoku is amazing, but Umihotaru is just on another level. That long tunnel mobbing with other car guys, then the view overlooking the water and bridges just doesn't exist anywhere else I know of. Easily my favorite Japanese meet spot
This episode felt like a throw back to early oakes garage where it was just jimmy on the cam,people cameo'd but it was just first person jimmy, cruising along.
I love the side quest vlogs. Helping me piece together a Japan bucket list for when I have the time and money for it 😅 I definitely wanna see some Japan food content in one of the vlogs tho! Seeing an authentic sushi bar would be sick
Loving the Japan content bro! Could even next vid or vid after that do a 50/50 vlog half Japan/matsuri antics and half shop antics would love to see what the boys are getting upto!
Potentially a Japanese guy in a corvette being passed by a American Jim in an S15, In Japan, is wild 😂
What are the odds lol
😂😂😂
dood i never thought of that but it's funny af
One of these days them old Japanese guys will pop out in some new balances too imma lose it 😭😂
he needs a 7-11 sponsor
5:43 Hey! That’s my s15 thanks for the compliments!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jimmy saving me from being bored🙏
Facts 🤣
Go tot he gym, do something loser
ong😂😂
lol fr tho
ONG
Lunch break gang checkin in 🫡
I’m real grateful I’m in mountain time so it always drops between 11:30-12:30 for me
Take care of yourself Jimmy, damn, get some sleep and drink a bunch of water. I feel like your dad, FFS. Thanks for bringing us along, it's all very cool. I'm almost 60, so I am living vicariously through you, thanks, lol.
Imagine pulling up to Daikoku to see your friends from all around the world... So cool man!
You've been coming to Japan for so long and it's just one thing, Drifting Drifting. This set of vlogs been so better
15:20 Jimmy casually passin through an Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV, Japan is so cool
The 2tone Rolls-Royce sittin pretty
Too bad he only shows the S15s he sees 😆
pretty sure thats a 2000 gtv, dont believe the 1750s got that multi slat grill. still cool to see another alfa enjoyer!
Brother, a Kiwi, in Japan, wearing a Drift Games snapback, the drifting community linked on an insane global scale, love it

When is this happening? Landed into tokyo earlier today close to shinjuku. Wouldn't mind attending.
“We did it”
Congratulations Jim. ✌️that is an epic experience. We are ALL shaking with you. Awesome!
It was cool we got to see you there! What a surprise. Sorry, we (my son & I) didn't introduce ourselves even if we wanted to. It's the first time my son actually saw someone he recognizes from TH-cam in real life. And we saw more than one!
Jimmy not getting sleep to make content because he's a real OG
The touristy stuff is what makes me really want to go to Japan. Ebisu is a money pit, but trinkets from car shops and visiting the cool places we see on IG? Priceless.
james oaking around japan. that’s what the world really needed

Seeing Jimmy nerding out makes me so happy rn
The smiles per miles on these recent vlogs are so good. Love seeing so much genuine excitement.
Z31 appreciation is appreciated
5:42 The "We did it." part hits kinda hard, ngl. I've been here since the LS Z32, and it's wild to see how far you've come in life.
Your excitement for Daikoku was the best !
Dream trip
Been watching Jimmy so long that I click the like button before the video even starts. Loving the Japan tourism vlogs, can’t wait to see y’all rip at Ebisu again as well!

i love my yotube car channels having random cross over episodes. I knew when i watched Randys last video i would see him in this one
The way you explain things is amazing!
Thx bro
you must be a bot, because no one has ever unironically complimented jim's mastery of the the english language
Im also in Japan at the moment, and these videos are really encapsulating what its really like just being here and driving around like no videos ive seen before
insanely stoked for you jim! loved seeing you have the opportunity to go to Daikoku
whoever picks the music for this video did a solid job
I love how much you show your appreciation to be able to do the things you do. Dont lose that ❤
Morning Patreon gang 🎉
Having a nice lunch break while watching jimmy in Japan, nice 👍. Now I won’t be bored
Love this type of video from you Jim! The pure excitement and joy that is just plastered all over your face is great!
Big Jim has huge baggy eyes, the time zone change is wild. Also 8:27 look at the yellow Honda, those little boys are awesome!
The pure joy on Jims face... Im making a side trip to daikoku next year when I go to Japan for the first time
Love how hyped you are for japan. My Japan trip was the same just go go go go go go till you drop. Enjoy it jimmy!!!!!!!!!!!!
A wild Jimmy running around Japan solo I content I didn’t know my heart needed. Stay safe out there!!
Its cool to see Jimmy at the second meet spot in the ocean. Been waiting for you to go there, just like Dustin Williams, NIghtRide, Sammit, Noriyaro and all the other youtube car guys I watch.
Killer video! Love to see some more of the day to day stuff in JP!
New T blanks look CRISP.
That last spot on the bridge was crazy! Great video.
I loved those nights where all the boys link up and you’d go cruising all night and pull till 5.30 or 6 in the morning. Then sleep in the work CARPARK for 8 haha This video is wicked.
It was vibes the whole night!! Im glad we got to catch up! Ebisu Vibes this week!
I'm over here geeking out over YOUR experiences
Enjoying the vlogs! Honestly I like this stuff and builds more than the drifting stuff. But to each his own jimmy has style!
That “Goooood morningggg. Tokyo!” Reminded me so much of Tommy 😂
Daikoku is amazing, but Umihotaru is just on another level. That long tunnel mobbing with other car guys, then the view overlooking the water and bridges just doesn't exist anywhere else I know of. Easily my favorite Japanese meet spot
What it do Oakes Gang 🫡🙌🏽
Thanks so much for sharing your trip Jimmy.
Great experience for you....

The best content! The best creator, our biggest Dream!
This just made my day better!
Love Japan content!!! So good! I'm glad you're having a great time!
Always enjoy a video on my lunch break best part of my day jimmy content of life
I high key think Jimmy should do a “Dajiban” build. That would be hella sick
he's not 45 and he doesn't own a motorcycle
My favorite time in the day is when I hit play on a new video of Jimmy 🔥
This episode felt like a throw back to early oakes garage where it was just jimmy on the cam,people cameo'd but it was just first person jimmy, cruising along.
Happy you get to show us the experiences jimmy
This is super wholesome man! Hitting bucket list meets in your own s15 is epic! 🤙
such a good car journalism this is great. i wanna see daikoku so bad now 😭
We love the Ebisu content Jim!!!
You're killing these videos
“That was really cringe.. cut that out Austin” 😂 we love it Jim relax🤣🤙🏼
Z31 build would be awesome
I love the side quest vlogs. Helping me piece together a Japan bucket list for when I have the time and money for it 😅 I definitely wanna see some Japan food content in one of the vlogs tho! Seeing an authentic sushi bar would be sick
So happy to see the love for the new GR86 & BRZ in Japan. It is so hard to get cool "legal" Parts for my GR in germany but man oh man I love it.

2:14 that's not how you say infrastructure. Sound it out, Jimbo.
