Captain Bradford, Is it possible to teach us in every video one word in Japanese related to automotive? Since we're geek JDM fans we love to learn everything related to that.. ありがとうございました :)

[@GhostHawk76]

With one Japanese music or song in every video, like this one 1:17

[@lysterbernrada]

Didn't know that the RX7 ɛ̃fini was pronounced as アンフィニ (Anfini), So much to learn wow!

[@renaldisaputra91]

if you play the japanese gran turismo, then yes it's the spelling

[@Squireissocoolie]

Set the record straight! Hit us with the correct "Bride" pronunciation. Just watched Albo's new vid, and it sounded like Bu-ri-do, Sammit's sounding like BRID, and one of the previous JDM Masters video sounded like Bree-De.

[@Miky9560]

I think we can find this by watching some old best motoring videos on youtube with modified cars, listening to the native japanese way to say it ^^

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Isn't it said like buhdee-day?

[@DasE30Cuz]

In the Bride commercials that play during the Formula Drift broadcast, the guy pronounces it like you said, "bu-ri-do"

@@DasE30Cuz Now I know. Thank God I've never had to say Bride in public.

In regards to the cultural influence abroad, Ireland was into Japanese cars since the late 80s, AE86 were being drifted in the Dublin mountains during the early 90s and many Honda Civics were stolen and raced around at night, Small engine turbo cars were also big here like the Pulsar Gti-R and Glanza. It started to die off a little around the late 1990s then the first Fast and Furious film came out and my country went through an economic boom, suddenly the early 2000s were full of Supra, RX7 and Skylines and we went crazy for cheap imported performance cars.

[@pinetezza]

I've seen Ireland has soooo many JDM cars, like go and watch juicebox videos. I'd like to visit there once The covid19 situation is over.

[@rajzkhadgi7308]

I love how the vowels are pronounced the same way in Turkish, it is very easy for us to read the words accurately when they're written in Romaji

I once heard it is also related to old Turkish languages. After I read that I always thought watching Japanese videos that it sometimes sounds Turkish.

[@sataneatcheese6243]

I feel there is a long conversation in how Gran Turismo influenced car culture to generations of people who did not know about these foreign, exotic cars. I learnt about Initial D through Gran Turismo. The memories associated with the music that played when you bought a car, serviced it, modified it and so on. I noticed the Gran Turismo music you were playing XD.

[@jptls]

Thank you so much! The car community was really in need of a video like this. I wish you had included the correct pronunciation for MUGEN. The this word is often butchered when it is referred to in videos.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

My favorite is Moo-Jin 😂

[@DasE30Cuz]

Also APEX'i is pronounced as just "apex" The "i" stands for international.

[@rowboyto156]

the i stands for integration not international

[@texannationalist5887]

i didn't know that zenki and kouki applied to all cars, i had only ever heard them in reference to the s-chassis. very interesting

[@visionenippon-captbradford9344]

Yes. Zenki and Kouki is widely used for reference to every car in Japan the same way English speakers say Pre Face lift and Face lift models. For some other models with a lot of revisions like Subaru Impreza WRX STI the Applied model from A-G is used in addition to the head light appearance .

[@VirtualGuth]

Excellent - thank you for this! As far as requests go, I have a few different thoughts: 1.) Are there any insights that you could provide with regards to either the most popular or the most highly regarded hand tools or specialty automotive tools used in Japan? 2.) I know that you've toured a shop specializing in the diecast scale models, but have you already given a detailed tour of your own collection that can be seen in this video? 3.) I can still recall the very first time I ever saw a Datsun 240Z soon after that car was first released here in the United States (I would have been only around 8 years old). Obviously that car made a huge impact here in the USA. With the new Z car about to appear on the market, I would be very curious to know about how the original Fairlady Z was received in Japan.

Nice video.

[@renaldisaputra91]

what's interesting from watching Best Motoring, there were several different pronounciation for Impreza they once spell インプレッサ (inpuressa) and once spell インプレッツァ (inpurettsa) just like Altezza as if it's a double Z coz yeah it's italian where double z is spelled "ts" like in pizza they call ピッツァ (pittsa) Japanese also had some weird way of spelling AMG, they said アーマーゲー (aamaagee), well that's pretty close for the German spelling but I wonder why they didn't go for ア・エム・ゲー (a emu gee), but the chose the english spelling later into エイ・エム・ジー (ei emu jii)

[@visionenippon-captbradford9344]

I can answer this right now but I will also mention it in a follow up video in the future. Subaru officially states “RA” as “Record Attempt” their first RA model was a challenge to set good times on the Nurburgring

[@bunsofsteeeel]

@@visionenippon-captbradford9344 that’s the later generation cars not the early 90s gc8 cars it stood for something different then.

[@visionenippon-captbradford9344]

Not just the recent cars. Since the first generation Legacy RS Type RA it has stood for “Record Attempt”. Although at this time it was not Nurburgring but the 100,000km challenge run.

[@bunsofsteeeel]

@@visionenippon-captbradford9344 now that is interesting but I did find this statement online how true it is I don’t know “Subaru Japan clarified in October 2006 that RA stands for “Racing Group A” for WRX models as they competed in the Group A category for WRC and previously before that stood for “Record Attempt” on the BC RS-RA Legacy's”

Heehee. 'Chasah' ain't so hard for Bostonians. :) (Also Americans say 'Nissan' the way we do cause Nissan went to a lot of trouble advertising that that was the right way to say it when they switched from Datsun. :) ) (Speaking of VR4s, though, how do they say 'Legnum?' I'm a wagon fan. :) )

I was always a bit confused with the Japanese language adding the extra syllable to characters especially for example the anime character Takumi Fujiwara when the written kanji is only 4 characters.
