Inside The High-Octane World of the Hashiriya - Street Racers of Japan: My Story「走り屋の世界：俺の物語」

[@maxxas5067]

Do you know how long it's been that I have been looking for this kind of material? It's been a while and ever since I found your channel it's been great. I'm just tired of watching American stuff it's all the same

[@tokirak]

Check out the Juiceboxforyou guys. They have a documentary on street racing in Japan and the guy running the channel is in the process of restoring an 86 from the ground up

[@clyyz]

Maxxas Crow I don’t like the American car culture but I’m only 14 and have started getting into cars and I’m slowly started seeing my passion for them and Japanese car culture is amazing kinda wished I was born in the 90s

[@rsr1145]

Check out The Chronicles / Stickydiljoe if like good quality JMD content. Greets

[@shiroyasha7324]

Indeed, same. :/

[@jaron2670]

Same

[@EpicDonutDudeMemes]

Cant wait to see another documentairy

[@shiroyasha7324]

Same. :)

[@straightbusta2609]

Can't wait to see an Anime based on this

[@streetboyz1096]

I love Japanese car content! Keep it up, wished this was in the us lol. You have sooo much content that we haven’t seen! It’s so exciting! These videos are def going to blow up one day, the quality on these series are getting better and better, good job 👏

[@SuperHoneyOil]

The content is great man, keep it up can't wait to follow along and get to see the results!

[@Snacksu]

Currently self teaching myself to become a developer so I can one day get good enough to work remotely and move to japan. Your story gave me even more motivation. The part where you said that Luck is a combination of random chances and your own efforts really struck a cord with me.

[@danthetravelman9113]

When your not developing you can earn money by teaching English online with a company like VIPKID, I live in Japan as a teacher and earn additional money online.

[@itsreallytom4310]

Funny how I actually enjoyed the "heads up" you gave us for the upcoming ads, "after the break" moments was oddly enough a very refreshing touch compared to other content creators, a very nice touch, and I watched them all just for the support. I really like what your doing and look forward to upcoming content

[@Anwar74]

I know your documentaries may take a long time but they are the best kinds of content on youtube. They are also long tail videos that can live on longer than the fist week with good SEO. Keep it up man!

[@warsawnightdrive1665]

It's nearly 2:30 on Monday, I have to get up in barely 4 hours, but I cannot stop watching!

[@felipebetanzo6011]

Just discovered this channel n im truly astonished with such rich car culture, this is one of the few channels i can say i love n those r not many

[@filipemeliciano]

Damn man! Your story is worth a movie plot actually. Quit amazing how all those things happened and how you managed to get everything working together. I wish I knew about your channel earlier, that's the first video I see from you, definitely gonna keep up with your content.

[@superazell]

Man, I needed this. I feel like I've been idling in life lately, just trying to get through life and not realizing my dreams! This video really reignited my passion for cars and really retaught me what it means to be into cars. Seeing you grow from a few thousand subscribers to over a hundred thousand subscribers is awesome to see, because I know that your awesome content is getting to so many people! So thank you Albo, I want to achieve my dreams, and I hope you have too!

[@ricardo1e93]

Honestly, I wonder how you didn't reach the million. I mean, the quality of these docs are pretty high, you explain every single detail clearly (even a person with add like me gets it at first) while showing the magnificent landscape that Japan has to offer. Thanks for sharing your dream with us! I hope to see more of these coming in the future. Keep up the good work! Cheers from Western Europe ;)

[@vicgofreeformblock7145]

Dude I can't wait for more of your videos man! There's nothing in KZbin that gives so much insight on the Underground Japanese car culture than your channel. Much love from the Philippines.

[@Kelthuz14]

The thing I love the most about your videos is that I literally feel the passion pouring out of my screen. High quality is one thing, but this has it's own soul. And it shows.

[@silverace08]

i am literally saving this video to watch in pieces cause im almost running out of your street racing mini docs which are so real thank you so much for inspiring so many and showing us how it is possible to follow our dreams to become street racers JDM style in japan the content you posts unique and truly an insider look into the underground racing scene of the land of rising sun

[@Videogamepony]

Iv been on your channel for 4 years, and you have my full support! Keep doing what you love and let nothing stop you

[@DavidJames0322]

Draws a tear to my eye, watching someone reach their goals. It's an amazing feeling. I wanted to do something similar and it's just exhilarating feeling to see someone do it. I can't wait until my era starts. You are doing a lot more then you know. Your giving hope to those who have their own goals and dream. From a fellow Canadian, your are blessed more then you know.

[@AMPISOUND]

vid was bananas bro

[@abhigyandutta6168]

Will be waiting for your film one day. More power to you brother.

[@adamslim4937]

Bananas! For having seen this last year before it was complete, there was nothing that stuck out to me as missing, then to watch the Patreon version, I was surprised, pleased and excited for what you put in there with the new style that you tried, very well done indeed. After watching this version, I am once again blown away by your skills of content creation and editing! Your story itself, the way you convey it, the feeling of your videos, I have already told you of course, but I love it! Again, brilliant job!　がなｂってアルボ！ PS I showed a friend of mine bits of your video with Highsnobiety. He's not into cars, but he did say that if he was he would definitely follow you, that you were a great editor.

[@felipelemos6184]

HE'S BACK BOYS! Cheers from Brazil m8, keep the good work.

[@Fiachcon]

The fact that you did meet a midnight club member is crazy. You should really try get an interview with him, so much ppl would love that

[@Streetw1s3r]

Yep, I'm one of those 60,000 subscribers who came from watching the Loop Racers video. I really like how you make your videos/documentaries, it's more than just racing, you actually dig deeper. It's about the people, their passion, and a whole culture. Your content is 10/10, keep up the good work! I look forward to learning more about Japanese street racing culture, and maybe seeing you on Discovery Channel one day. Street Outlaws: Japan. xD

[@mirok1659]

I remember finding your channel from a comment you made on some video like 2 years back. You had just started to make the initial d vlogs and i was blown away that you didn't have more subs (you were at like 2k subs at that point). You were and still are the only proper youtube channel that explores the japanese underground car culture in this way. Keep it up Albo we're rooting for you!

[@thaoni1831]

i love watching your videos, mostly because you keep it real, you don't feel like a youtube personality, you feel like a regular person. watching you has helped rekindle my passion for car culture and i thank you for that.

[@spydirtek]

this is the first video I've seen that sets up the youtube advertisements. very impressed, excellent production quality

[@petergeorge4567]

i usually don’t like videos but this one is one of the best videos i’ve seen in over a year keep up the great work!!!

[@Califormula]

EPIC. . . this is one of the few real car underground guys on KZbin no fluff no extra bazzaz to get views just REAL JDM Life!! Thank you for what you bring, your videos are one of the main reasons I'm going to go to Japan!

[@ValkyrieMagnus]

I found this video because it popped up on my feed. Great video and I wish great things and success for you and your KZbin channel.

[@radoisdope2]

I'm so happy you achieving your goals ,your whole journey was so exciting and so beautifully crafted.and best thing is its not even over yet not even close

[@Tracerz_tv]

Your videos are bananas! I'm so glad you never quit chasing this dream. Keep on filming, my brotha!! Great things are sure to come.

[@RicardoRodriguez-kz6co]

wow, the story telling is on point, i got so into the vid i lost track of time. you obviously seem like a hard worker and i can respect the time and effort you put into your vid and passion. great job and keep it up.

[@arnaudj.5314]

*I'm one of those child who grew up watching the 3 first Fast&Furious and other cars movies, playing Need for Speed on the Gameboy and PS2 all day, buying some HotWheels models to make them race on the floor, and I've always wanted to have the opportunity to see real japanese street racing one day.* Now thanks to your channel I know a lot more about japanese street racing culture and as an western European guy, where even unofficial car meets are illegal, I wish I could go to Tokyo one day to discover the nightlife I've always wanted to be part of.

[@jordanrobshaw1406]

Beautiful, I wish to do the samr

[@BarakaGitari]

Glad I found this channel, been looking for something like this pretty much forever.

[@IoshyClan]

Veery good Quality, keep it up, i love your style of videos. Never stop chasing your dreams, Japan looks like the best place on earth..

[@_0_LoStSoUl_0_]

I know i’m late for this, but there is something special about how this video makes me feel. Your happiness is amazing, contagiously happiness. Car culture is the best, i hope that one day I will reach something so amazing as you have done. Congratulations.

[@tofufregit]

Such a great surprise to see Hector in your video, he was the very first spanish blogger writting about his life in Japan to have a huge media impact, I've been following him for 15+ years. Also been following you for some years now! :) Great video as always, man! Looking forward for the upcoming Kanjozoku documentary! Kind regards!

[@Wytor]

Can't wait to see your work on the Kanjozoku, love your content, cheers from Brazil, BANANAS

[@SketchaMan]

this video deserves way more views and likes, this should at least have 1 MIL views, keep up the good work and one day you will have your own movie that will take over fast and furious. Good Luck !!!

[@streetboyz1096]

Wow it seems like your page grew so fast! But since (we as fans) been here since the beginning, we would say” your page deserves more subs!” And now your over 100k subs, congrats man!! Proud to follow u since the beginning( didn’t have a KZbin channel 3 years ago, and initial d was what I really enjoyed and when I found your channel, I started to always watch u till this day. When my KZbin channel finally went up, first thing was to do car culture/ content of the us and hopefully japan. I’m only 15 but I knew I have to start somewhere) 🙌🙌

[@TheLAexplorer]

I actually did enjoy your daily vlogs, but I must say, I'm loving this documentary format!

[@luisote953]

man, in my life as a Venezuelan refugee, my dream has always been to have a car of my own, I am a big fan of the JDM and your videos are that bit of happiness that I need to keep going, keep with the good work my man!!! 💪💪💪

[@r_dreamer5462]

you are criminally underexposed, this content is definitely the best of its kind on youtube

[@walkingw3348]

Taking a look back at your journey just sends chills down my spine.

Your truly an inspiration man. I love your videos, I plan to visit Japan within the next few years to see JDM culture for myself before it goes away. Again, great video!

[@AmorAmor360]

super stoked for the outlaw racer doc coming up.

[@Madeyoulook872]

I've waited for sooo long for another video from you and I was NOT DISAPPOINTED!! Another incredibly and without a doubt beautifully made video, I can't wait to see the next video/documentary. The book you're writing looks so good as well, I would but it in a heartbeat! I love the videos/documentaries you make, in a sense as a viewer it makes me feel immersed and as if I'm living the experiences you are experiencing through these videos.

[@ALBO]

Thank you so much man, I was nervous that people would think this video is just about me, but I’m glad my intent to show you the world through my eyes came through!

[@joekerry123]

Albo, found your channel when you were running a yellow miata and can i just say that this message couldn't have come at a better time for me. Keep up your grind man.

[@bzg_]

[@beef1340]

[@Leri0th]

Love the lessons that you've learnt and shared from your journey. Keep it up, I feel like your channel is going experience exponential growth. GL

I'm given a chance to study abroad in any country of choice, and your video immediately makes me want to come over there. Great content, and amazing mindset! Keep it up!

[@MikeFontelera]

Such a great video! It's great to see how you started and where you are now. Very inspiring to see that you kept your passion lit and how much hard work you put into it. Keep up the great content!

[@ssonera88]

I really enjoyed this documentary. The shots are really good and your words are very inspiring. They are in fact inspiring me at this moment. Currently I'm trying to get myself into the high performance car world. Eventually I want to move to Japan and own my own shop. I'm always watching videos featuring The Chronicles, No Good Racing, Temple Racing, etc. I aspire to have a life like the drivers of the Kanjozoku.

[@layer.0481]

Thank you for this inspiring video this is inspiring me to work harder on my business and KZbin

[@arthatis]

I think you should make a series playlist in order - i'm looking at your best of playlist now but it seems sort of in mish mash order and im having to use this video to figure out what order to watch these in

[@jesselopez4229]

Awesome content as always, keep driving forward. We will be here for the journey.

[@galantdesign]

You are doing a great trip.... Into life in Japan.... And showing what is not possible for us to get even a glipse.... Keep this up.... Just discovered your videos.... Will be waching...... Thanks for everything

[@Madison.drives]

It’s @sookie_wrx from instagram, and I just want to say this inspired me so much. I’ll be chasing my dreams. One day I’ll be helping you guys out there or here in LA. Thank you Albo, and all the hvnters for doing this. Can’t wait for more!!

[@C-M-E]

One of my prized possessions at the time (back when DVD's were new; yeah, I'm old!) was a DVD I found called Hashiriya all about street drifting and mountain touge. Still have it with a bunch of option vids. Perhaps by the time I finally get to Japan when all my kids get the hell out of my house, Keichi and I can talk about the old days when cars had tires...

[@owenh770]

Bananas! Great video as always! Love seeing your story, it's super inspiring and mind blowing not only for the side of me who likes cars for what they are, and the culture as it is today, but the incredible backstory, and it truly is almost incomprehensible how much there is to learn and respect about where what we all love came from. I love the long videos, because I love taking it all in, and it would be INCREDIBLE if you made a film as you talked about. For now, these videos are still super intriguing and entertaining. Despite how many foreigners are going there and messing things up, people like you are proving we aren't all like that, and I really want to follow your footsteps and live a similar life one day.

[@FranciscoHernandez-fi9pn]

That preview gave me goosebumps. Can’t wait to see what comes next!

[@addy660]

Man watching that preview of kanjozoku gave me the chills! Keep it up bro! Looking forward to it!

[@Flako92]

Yoo you're not the only one, I got goosebumps. I was looking to see if anyone else said something.

[@bloodsupremking]

Man this such a beautiful video, Albo can't tell you enough but keep up the great work man

[@silverwave010]

Finally. Our Wishes have been granted haha.You're doing some fantastic work man, and I appreciate your humble attitude throughout this whole journey. You'll get that big screen movie, keep at it.

[@ALBO]

Thank you Kelly my dude

[@BongChongy]

Dude this channel is amazing. This is the content I was looking for. I’ve been researching The Mid Night club and this is perfect material. Thank you so much for this. I subbed and definitely gonna keep watching

[@shaneanning180sx]

Unreal dude best vid in a while very inspiring makes me want to go to Japan even more

[@streetboyz1096]

Man! One day I’ll be there, Japan. Visiting everywhere I wanted to go since a couple of years, drifting in circuits(ebisu, fuji), visit daikoku during the midnight, street racing, street drifting, meets, etc. Can’t wait till that day comes! And hopefully meet you🤘

[@staticshock9419]

Better hurry up before the culture dies completely. It's already died a ton since it's peak in the 90s

[@streetboyz1096]

Nate Costin Lol it’s still EXISTS, there still is a huge car culture over there, not only jdm cars, but Italian, German, American, etc. midnight street dorifto still goes around in japan, daikoku also,. Don’t think it’ll die any time soon, if they do, we take over😉

[@staticshock9419]

@@streetboyz1096 oh of course it still exists! But the police are cracking down hard so the culture is slowly shrinking. Like in Cali how they made that new dumb law, in Japan it's much stricter now

[@streetboyz1096]

Nate Costin it’s not a new law, it already existed it just became more stricter, instead of being a “fix it ticket”, you’ll prob get a 1k ticket/ state ref. In the 90s and early 2000s, the police were very strict, not only for car enthusiast but in the basozuka gang, cops were cutting down the motorcycle gang and now it doesn’t even exist at all(barely). If u don’t do anything illegal you’ll be fine, but when that eurobeat kicks in, you ain’t stopping for no mofo cop

[@FRS_Heero]

See you there, fellow driver. I'll be flashing my lights at you! Take care until then!

[@SpitfireGaming740]

I’m 19 , big fan of the evo series, I bought my first car which is a lancer gt , a year later my car and me have came a long way, I learned so much from the car scene and I’m surprised that in the car world , everyone which is different is the same when we are in the car scene , my team members consist of lawyers, teachers , inspector, police officer even , it simply just keep showing me stuff and honestly is the only thing I won’t change about myself which is loving cars

[@theunknown8959]

I love this channel man keep it up

Thank you man

[@Mohandas.Gandhi]

Keep at it dude, I love your content. I've been making stupid videos for the better part of 10 years and finally decided to get serious and kick off my first real channel building and racing cult classic cars from the 90's. I got it started in October and I'm already getting overwhelmed just trying to stay ahead so I can release quality videos regularly. It's rough out there.
