I still do. The entire series really!

The only good thing about Monday's is this series of videos... Once they're over, Mondays go back to shit again 😔

[@juiceboxforyou]

The plan is to get the Vlogs back to a weekly schedule too, so hopefully thats worth the watch, stacks of progress on the 86 is on the way.

[@rong9tagger]

@@juiceboxforyou hey don't get me wrong I have always loved the content each week when you aren't in Japan. I'm an 86 guy so how could I not, but this is such an epic series that I never want to end... Is that really so much to ask? 😂😂😂

Lad, once again I am in awe. the entire Kanjo segment really did well to show just how fast those dudes were driving, shaky cam n all. This whole series is the piece of content I am most hype for this year, hands down.

[@linerk5925]

I've never felt so connected to people that I have never met, than with you guys. I feel like I'm sharing all of your emotions each time I watch. The way you've presented these episodes with the post commentary makes me feel like I'm right there with you. its so overwhelmingly enjoyable.

That means a lot man, it takes twice the effort to edit, but I thought this would be a nice format, with us reflecting on the madness of each scenario. Cheers for the feedback and the kind words.

I was going to say something along these lines, but you've absolutely nailed it. It's not that I feel we're friends, I just recognize that Neal and the lads are my kind of people and had we grown up in the same place we would probably be mates, if that makes any sense at all :D The petrolhead soul connection runs deep!

Humbled by that Barry, Im still shocked when I watch back these videos. We were very fortunate to experience a lot of this stuff, glad we managed to document it and put out this content.

[@G_Ozare]

"Earphones ON" That Kanjo Loop racing gave me the biggest grin, chills and brought tears to my eyes man. It reminded me of exactly why and how I fell in love with cars as a young kid playing Gran Turismo2. I haven't felt that way in 20+ years. THANK YOU.

[@thatsohclife]

I love kanjozoku culture, and going on the loop in person is a truly amazing experience also lads I'm loving this series. Hopefully I'll bring my ek up to the bbq someday 🤣

[@jiltedgaijin9320]

Thank you so much for this episode. As a Honda kid, the Kanjo racers and the loop have always fascinated me. It’s so good to see some of them still exist and want to keep the culture alive. This video alone has made me want to get back into a screaming VTec 👌🏻

[@juiceboxforyou]

For sure! It always had my interest, we are incredibly lucky to have experienced this little insight.

[@martimlourenco1]

Just got my first car today, an Honda civic EK3 hatch, the 1.5ils. I´m so excited and watching those guys over at Japan gives me so much motivation to make my car cooler! Thank you Juicebox

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen

[@johnrtrucker]

As I've grown older I've come to respect all forms of car mods and culture because at the end of the day we are all car enthusiasts who sink our hard earned blood sweat and tears and quite a few cuss words into our cars and weather it's hydraulic lowriders, fart can civics, drifting, jdm, American muscle, etc I respect it all now I have my favorites and don't really prefer civics but style is like a fingerprint all of em are unique and I will never put anyone down for their particular style

[@arachnenet2244]

Watching this tired, stoned and drunk really hits hard. This is some good stuff! I really love how different Neil's documentary style is and how it just bleeds passion. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@alimikahaka85]

I dunno how you guys are gonna top this episode, but I’m sure you will! Me and a friend sat in Izumiotsu PA for hours one night just hoping to luck into experiencing something similar; didn’t happen of course. Did manage an equally messy night in Dotonbori. But man alive it’s so cool to hear you guys talk about it in such detail and see the footage. Real thankful you guys are doing what you’re doing.

[@juiceboxforyou]

The next few are a little more relaxed, but yeah, most of the mental stuff happened in the first few days, and then at the very end.

[@fintanhanratty]

Wow, just wow, lads. This is the most nuts, most exhilarating, most emotive series I have seen in years. You capture the emotions, the cultishness, the sheer speed of it all so well. Keep fulfilling your dreams; life is short.

Legend Fintan, really appreciate the kind words man, glad the madness has translated onto these videos.

Nice one Callum, glad you've been appreciating them so far, the next episode is a little more laid back

Rad stuff man! Another eight on the way.

[@ogentor_no]

Fuck man. I just spent the last two weeks rewatching the enterity of the current vlogs, leading back into this series. Your production levels have gone through the fecking roof with this one, all that time spent working on sorting footage and editing has been well worth the effort, this series is outstanding and we're still only on episode 3. Great music selection, brilliant quality and good captures and just the overall vibes. The fucking moment of the music fading out as the Civic hammered it out onto the straight on the Kanjo. Some of the most exhilarating shit i've ever watched. Love the series, love everything you do Neil. Cheers and love from Norway

[@213davidhunter]

I'm an AE86 guy, but this was one of the best episodes I have seen on KZbin! The danger and excitement came across really well. It's true that a dodgy situation can make for a great story!

Ive been sharing every episode with anyone who will listen. Keep it up boys

[@Ambient129]

Man, Kanjo culture is wild. It's something you really wouldn't be able to fully replicate anywhere else, as it's not only a need for speed but also a statement against Japan's conservative culture. Even if you got a bunch of Civic drivers together to do something like this, it wouldn't have the same amount of depth, and in that regard you guys have probably witnessed one of the last generations of Kanjo racers in Japan. Truly special stuff, keep up the great documentary work Neil!

[@juiceboxforyou]

Yeah man! This stuff makes a lot more sense out there. Glad you enjoyed the episode.

[@andrewclarkeinfo]

Neil, we’ll impressed that you had enough batteries / memory cards to keep filming as much as you did on each day. Not easy to get a full set of freshly charged batteries waking up in a van with no power socket too! Kudos for being enough battery juice to keep the camera going strong! 👏🏻

[@juiceboxforyou]

Haha ! I appreciate that man, the comical scenarios trying to find outlets to charge batteries at convenient stores is something we should have added to the videos. I think the battery was dying on the loop so I was turning the camera on and off and switching to the phone.

[@waxedmint1451]

random a couple moths later but this is amazing, i have searched high and low astonished by the lore and history of the racing and kanjo racing in general and this has to be some of the most refreshed and amazing footage, perfectly describing like....the break between serenity and peace japan has and the quietness you can almost see broken by these amazing cars im so glad to see that it is continuing and I remember seeing and being sad about the fact the this was dying out, its dangerous and it breaks people but can also build so much. Its almost inspiring to see these people and you talk and even communicate about this broken translation or not, thank you.
