Masa took the high road and I’m all for it. There’s no right and wrong. It’s all dependent on how you feel. If he felt he needed to move on then that’s ok. People come and go but those that matter stay.

[@anthonyng3014]

Her acting here is better than in any of Masa's videos. Really shows what her priorities are. It's all about the followers, fame, then cash in that order for her. Masa absolutely made the right choice in the end. She should've been transparent from the get-go with Masa, just tell the guy you're not interested in him in 'that' way but can agree to hang out (as long as his videos get enough viewers) lol lol

[@86glint]

My guess is that she friendzoned Masa but still used him for a lot of her content (masa's gtr was everywhere) and possibly him holding her camera or taking the shots. This is just a guess based on Masa's video explaining why he decided to stop spending time with Moe and remove any content that has her in it for the specific reason I mentioned above. Honestly if I was in Masa's position I would do the same. Why do the bf duties when there's no intention from Moe to pursue that kind of relationship, and then also seem sad that he has another gf now and that he didn't show up. Red flags noticeable tbh for anyone that's been on many dates or relationships.

[@gavinr9107]

I got that vibe from Moe from the beginning to be honest. Typical female nature really, I hope that Masa has wisened up from the experience as he is a top bloke!

[@wadehendricks362]

Bro i have BEEN observing this yet i didn't want to say anything

[@burningvirus7731]

i guess we all can sympathize with masa´s situation, thats why we know how he feels, and its not good and yeah he did the right decision her off, but i dont think moe is doing this on purpose, maybe shes just not to try to hurt him in her own way but diddnt realize that its more painful for him this way... what u guys think ?

[@jensvingaard5344]

yeah saw it on her insta too

[@Vulex]

Don’t know if albo saw Masa’s last video but regardless of content I wouldn’t talk about masa like that 7:40

[@RysaurusRex]

My favorite part of your videos that is the CC keeps calling you elbow. Makes my day every time.

[@Mysticfateee]

Honestly love how cozy and chill these videos have gotten. The music selection is on point 100% of the time and i'd love to get a playlist of all the songs you use for these videos. Also Moe is super cute! her eyes are super expressive and you can tell she really loves her little Lotus

[@benoitcousineau2341]

One Friend told me this : " It's all great on camera, but what you do and how you act when no one is watching are the real questions. " So because of that, we can't really say who was right, and who was wrong, and why it ended that way. Only Masa and Moe knows the full story.

[@dilancascante9289]

Facts

[@moisesgaribay4893]

Facts 💯

[@MrBejkovec]

Nah, bro. She has a lot of her parents' money. And Masa is a lovely, but normal guy, like a lot of us are. She seems to love to be exposed on the camera by Albo. Her eyes 'scream' it. If she was a normal girl from a middle class, they would make a lovely pair. But like this...Masa just wasn't good enough for her.

[@Blballerboy]

@@MrBejkovechow da hell can she afford a car like this?

[@Historylover1980]

@@Blballerboy the price is only MSRP (JPY): 7,452,000

[@cgh1060]

Sad to hear about Moe and Masa but some things in life don't always go to plan but i hope they both find happiness in life whatever happens in their own future. Liking the Elise a lot, especially the colour. I prefer the Exige 430 cup. Lotus are pretty popular in Japan and Asia in general.

[@OllamhDrab]

Well, Masa seems like a great guy, but you really can't predict if any two given people have that kind of chemistry. Really in something like a car scene it's prolly more important to have friends, the broader the social circle the more likely people are to meet someone they click with eventually. (Also Lotuses are cool. I'd kind of like maybe a green one. In my case maybe I'd go up to an Evora for more of a touring balance, room to bring a bit of stuff on trips, etc. :) )

[@RyotaRyoichi]

I'm just hoping that Masa is doing well right now. I can understand the reason why he wants to cut off tie, I just want to wish him all the best and I can't wait to see more video including Masa in it ^^

[@hungryalien]

our boy masa is too good for moe.

[@jensvingaard5344]

[@p-ter1638]

You guys are so dramatic 🤣

[@dluu25]

Maybe Masa felt friendzoned and moved on to someone else

[@keifykat2647]

Felt.. nah bro he was told SO! She’s in another league…he knew that..

[@gavinr9107]

@@keifykat2647 she is hardly in another league. There are many attractive Japanese women just like her around - her loss that she did not give a relationship with Masa a chance.

[@tear728]

​@@gavinr9107 we all love Masa. But Masa has like 50 Tenga eggs bro. He needs to become a man before a woman will want him

[@grod6998]

Look at his recent video. Basically says it wasn’t healthy for him to continue being friends with her when nothing more was to happen. So he decide to cut her off and move on.

[@_hi_pwr]

​@@grod6998good decision imo, self growth is better. We are all gonna make it brahs.

[@raheelgill6318]

Moe's got nice taste in cars but man was I kind of disappointed at her response when she was sad that masa had moved on. She just proved that she's just a typical woman who likes stringing along a man for her own benefit but won't actually let him pursue her romantically even though that was the intention from the beginning. Men, better to be lonely drivers than being left in the middle like that by some woman. Masa dodged a bullet & good for him!!

[@tear728]

Honestly never thought for a second it would work out lol Masa is a bit of a goof for someone like Moe. Moe should have been up front about it if she thought it wasn't going to work out, but this is Japan we are talking about and no one is up front

[@technosworld2]

that's making a LOT of assumptions. 99% of the story we don't know and probably will never know.

[@dluu25]

@SpacePurpBarney yup happens all the damn time

[@xdiggar]

Albo... If I were you I would get rid of your 30 second intro... KZbin viewer are moving to a bit more fast pace editing because of a short attention span... No joke this is actually fact... I advise you to shorten your intro or get rid of it entirely because you will lose new potential viewers... Sure the ones that are already here don't mind it but it really stops your channel from growing... In general the main reason viewers click on your video only starts at minute 2:40 (at least in this video) up until this point people already have left your video... I would put your sponsor more into the middle of the video and get rid of your intro completely... of course this is only an advise and you don't have to do what somebody tells you but I really like your channel and you as a person and I want more people to watch you videos because of the positivity and enjoyment your videos provide... And of course JDM Much love

[@saschamisty]

I absolutely agree I have seen a lot of creators lately who are talking about this issue and all of them said that this is a problem that comes with tiktok. You watch a video for a short period and then just swipe to the next one, most of the time not even remembering what you just watched Even I find myself skipping intros and sponsors showcasing because they are so time consuming everything has to be on the point these days. So yeah I totally agree

[@hardtobearit]

yeah make it a pinned video on the channel front page and leave it at that

[@xdiggar]

@SpacePurpBarney yes on one side I love it just because, as you mentioned, we don't have as much time as we used to have but on the other side it is sad... Because you don't really build a connection with the content creator anymore, you just watch a video purely for entertaining purposes (I know entertainment is the main focus) but there isn't that feeling of a "family" anymore like it used to be in almost every youtube channel back in the days... They used to build a connection with their audience. Now it's just a feeding machine...

[@xdiggar]

@@hardtobearit not even that... If a viewer is actually interested in the person that produces the video (which isn't common these days) just go to their about section and read what they have to say... At least that's how I do it. Besides that albo basically has his intro in his about section so whats the reason for putting it in every video

[@broodo1]

That long intro & now sponsorship ads, has got to be killing his view duration metrics

[@jamesgriffith288]

Can’t wait to see more driving vlogs with Moe included!! That blue on the lotus is gorgeous

[@turkerbahtiyar1291]

[@abcdLeeXY]

I’m glad my boy Masa moved on and found a girlfriend. No one is going to know what moe’s true intention was but she was definitely leading him on.

[@AbeyantHero]

I hope to see house updates & possibly a garage build for ya Albo! もえちゃん: "I think I saw something I shouldn't have" haha

[@timhayward6833]

Probably most important thing for Moe is to get a driving lesson or two on how to drive a mid-engined car differently to front engined, so she knows how to corner and doesn't spin it.

[@fabrb26]

Closest thing from a MR car you can build for cheap is a Civic EG with good gacchiri , inverted upper front arms, rear DC2R ARB and 55/45 front/rear spring rates ratio. Best under steering tips i ever took from a Japanese car magazine. Now in corner when the a052 are cold if you lift you die. 😅👌

[@peizz]

Hey Albo I missed your videos, happy to see you again mate!

[@3ujin]

the lotus fits her more than the other car that she was previously driving =)

[@victorgarciap.4788]

I'm 22 and drive nearly always with driving gloves since I was in driving school at 18. It's better than driving without them. The difference between me and her, is that I drive my parents 2016 Opel Astra station wagon diesel, instead of a Lotus, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. But theoretically, as far as I'm concerned, they give you better grip (necessary for emergency manoeuvers), in long trips, your hands don't get so tired, and with them, you can better preserve the car interior, specially if you have sweaty hands like I do. I store my driving gloves in the glovebox.

[@samueldowney2806]

Congratulations Moe on owning the car with the best steering and chassis feedback of any car at Daikoku! Some Elise nerdery: That front wing line is called "The Becker Line", named after Roger Becker the famous Lotus test driver and chassis engineer that said you need to be able to see both front wings from the drivers seat to be able to place the car as accurately as possible on a corner apex. (AP2) S2000 190bhp/tonne Elise 220 235bhp/tonne Get PPF for the front end at least Moe, these cars stone chip as soon as you look at them :(

[@nueldejesus9252]

I just want all those cars! RX7, S2K, GTR's. I'm still happy with my 86, but I want new ones too waah! So envious of night driving in Japan. Crappy ass roads here in the PH haha. Nice vid!

[@SportsCars_TE]

Great video! Nice to see some Lotus content Albo.

[@elijahransom4147]

Love the Lotus! She should consider a carbon roof to match the rest of the carbon bits on the car!

[@BlitzSRM994]

Natural progression: I had a Miata 👍🏽 sold it. Got an S2000🤙🏽 sold it. Got an NSX ❤️ sold it. Now I have a an Elise 72D💕. I think the Elise drives the best, But I wish I never sold the NSX. 😢

[@MrCaptainbirdman]

I sold my 1995 red nsx to get a new type s one but agreed, I wish I never sold the old NSX, something about it is so JDM 😔

[@p-ter1638]

From a nsx to an elise 72D? Isn't a downgrade? I belive a nsx in good conditions can be around 80-90k euros (I'm italian) isn't the 72D worth half of that? (I'm asking genuinely)

[@thai6670]

How'd you like the elise compare to the s2000? im planning to add one and cant let go of my nsx

[@ChapHammersmith]

I’m with you there! I went from having a string of Mx5s to an Elise 220 to a 250 cup. Always wanted to drive an s2000 and NSX type r is the dream car.

That Lotus has the Toyota/Yamaha 2ZZGE. Stateside it came in the Celica GT-S as well as a Corolla, Matrix and Pontiac Vibe. Revs to 8000+ rpm and has an equivalent of VTEC.

[@track86]

I think S3 Elise in Japan probably has another 1.8 engine 😀

[@LujinCustom]

@@track86 Lotus put the 2ZRFE on later models, with a supercharger. Both engines are 1.8l

[@track86]

@@LujinCustom yeah I know. I just don’t think that one in the video has the 2zzge

[@LujinCustom]

@@track86 well they’re both fast af! I didn’t get a good enough listen to hear the supercharger whine.

[@ChapHammersmith]

Yeah this is an s3 so it has the 2ZR supercharged engine. The US never got the s3 due to safety regs or something. This unfortunately doesn’t Rev to 8000, redline is 6800 but the added torque makes up for it.

[@Anespian1]

Look forward to hearing on Masa's take. He already have a new gf?! Moe seems disappointed. :)

[@kurok1tenshi]

I think is that since he moved on and is giving attention to another person she feels that way. If that´s what happened i think it was the best decision, nothing good comes from being attached to someone that doesn´t want YOU but still wants you around.

[@hazexo1131]

Albo asking Moe to sit in the front seat in a two seater 😆

[@yentl147]

The suspension of the lotus elise is indeed verry hard. Like when you are driving on a bumpy road it feels like your teeth are faling out. But it's a fun little car for young people.

[@ChapHammersmith]

It’s actually very compliant suspension on the sport 220. The sprint got the same setup as the cup 250 which is more setup for track. It’s still not as stiff as a lot of performance cars though due to the fact it doesn’t need to be because it’s so light. You mainly feel it because it’s a pretty barebones car and the seats, whilst not uncomfortable are not that padded.

[@krrk6337]

I just finished the blind date series and knew how it ended, don't know why many of you guys are salty about this. Masa said himself right when they met that she's in different spectrum but he took his shot anyway, she wanted to be just friends, he didn't so he moved on. That's what mature adults do. If it's anyone's fault it's on you guys hyping him up that gave him some hope when he clearly knew from the start.

[@45WASH]

[@ArneHulstein]

Love Moe’s new car. I am biased though, as I own a 2003 Lotus Elise. 😉

[@technosworld2]

I love the Elise but it's sooo tiny. I sat in once and the frame cuts into the leg room a lot. I owned an MR2 Spyder which, if you swap to the 2ZZ-GE engine is like a super low-cost Elise except it doesn't look NEARLY as nice and is still a bit heavier at 2,100 lbs

[@ChapHammersmith]

Or the chassis, steering feel or double wishbone suspension. I used to own an Mr2 mk3, and it was pretty fun but just swapping the engine will not really get you that close to an Elise unfortunately.
