Tokyo hot rodding! MOONEYES Street Car Nationals 2017

[@moralesjjorge88]

I remember reading (in lowrider magazine) that there are more 58 impalas in Japan than there are left in the USA. As someone who grew up in the SoCal lowrider scene I love the level of dedication they have to these things it's awesome

[@scettzvill]

12:15 that ones not been unlocked yet, you need to do a couple more races.

[@ARTechworks]

Or Maybe The Car Texture Is Not Load Properly

[@Figureight]

That Geo Prism being in Japan is fucking cool. Although I assume, being that it's RHD that he's just had Geo parts shipped over and made a replica, but still cool.

[@vladbrandis5667]

For Japanese people, that was an import car show? :)

[@anamarievivero7774]

Nope! Ano hito tachi wa onnaji shumi de tada tada wake ai ai shiteru dakedesu. Show mo nanimo arimasen yo. Tabun sns de renraku shiatte atsumari mashita de aro kato omoimasu yo.

[@chromedome745]

for anyone thats not american/canadian this is an import car show xD

[@TimothyJavier]

@@chromedome745 If a car from the US is brought over to Canada it's still considered an import.

[@chromedome745]

@@TimothyJavier i mean they sold American muscle cars in Canada from dealerships so alot of these are not classed as imports as they were sold on the Canadian domestic market, if you buy a car that was never sold in Canada and then imported it you own an import (basically most cars in most countries are imports but when people talk about imports like this they mean it was never sold in that country) makes it rarer and special and someone really wanted it to go out of their way to import it, like the Japanese guys that own muscle cars from the 60s that where never even sold in japan to start with

[@TimothyJavier]

@@chromedome745 Does that mean if I buy a USDM 370Z from a Nissan dealership in the US it's not considered an import even though it was made in a factory in Japan?

[@ae86hachi]

American Graffiti, Vanishing point, The 70s gone in sixty seconds, Dirty Mary/ Crazy Larry, Hot Rod, Bullit, Return to Macon county... I could go on and on. My dad was huge into muscle cars and drove the 56 Chevy he bought as a teenager until the month he passed away. She's safe in my garage. Right next to my Ae86.

[@sigmaprojects]

Nice, glad you still have the Chevy in the family.

[@lorddrac_dontaskmetodance]

Ae86 Hachi American Graffiti was a kick-ass movie.

[@ae86hachi]

Sigma Projects Thanks man. She's seen plenty of use and abuse. I hope to one day give it a proper restoration.

[@ae86hachi]

Grindcore Racer Iotta dream iron in that movie that's for sure!

[@freikinpoptarts]

Why does everyone forget Hollywood Knights? It had Project X in it and a sick Pontiac GTO.

[@Kittensandpuppies123]

[@clippingpointmedia1105]

I'm from Canada and used to seeing these types of cars all the time. But I would still go to an event like this in Japan. Great coverage,hope to see more vids from events like this.

[@miked6036]

bless you for keeping the van scene alive, Japan.

[@metaomicron72]

So good that you show us all these different cars. Some of them are awesome and they actually sell in Europe second hand. So the dreams are alive!

[@HNRichard]

"I have only 20 minutes to cover the entire show " makes a 22 minutes 59 second video out of that time, I'd say you've got amazing time management! covering the event with all the time you have left

[@keatonlusk1679]

Classic car shows in the states are usually pretty chill, especially aircooled vw shows. The only ones that aren't that chill are the tuner ones because everyone gets into little cliques and act all weird when you wanna ask about their cars.

[@MiikeyLawless]

Keaton Lusk agreed dude. the classic jdm shows are cool though.

[@keatonlusk1679]

yes but those aren't as popular, at least where I'm from

[@lookItsJayden]

Keaton Lusk yup I was drooling over a 454 ss Chev truck at a free anyone can come show and a tuner butted in my conversation about big blocks saying they aren't shit and blah blah.

[@loomi58]

Exactly why I bring my Skyline to the predominately American car shows in small towns. Mostly chill old guys. "Import/JDM" people are often so obnoxious.

[@Iiemp4926]

Thats the beauty of japan shows. Peoplr apreciate any type of car. Tuner, ricer, bosozoku, lowridee, hot rod

[@Japonic]

Hi Alexi! You said you are trying a new mic today. It sounds awesome and cancels the noise from surrounding. Could you please let us know the model? Thank you.

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

That'd be a pretty killer car show even over in the US. Thanks for taking us around for a look!

these car meet videos are great, really shows the passion everyone has for cars/bikes... Keep up the great work!

[@RedSunrise91]

That rollout put a big smile on my face, just awesome to see THAT many different styles together. And yeah, lowriders together with those 50s styled 'Leadsled' type of cars are my guilty pleasure. Keep it up Alexi, big support from The Netherlands!

[@ae86hachi]

[@AshtonCoolman]

I'm from Houston Texas. I drive an R32 GTR and I love JDM cars, BUT I absolutely love this scene in Japan. The muscle cars and regular USDM cars there are better than a lot of ours down here. This is incredible.

[@Kurzawaa]

I really enjoyed this video, the workmanship is amazing. I seriously dont mind if you more 'exotics meets'

[@SwipaXNoXSwipen]

Just love the amount and varieties of car culture you have there Alexi. Please visit as many of the meets as you can and share them with us. Though I will say, I'm a bit disappointed I didn't see that many Mustangs there.

[@SCFIII]

Howdy Noriyaro, my name is Kenichi Smith. I'm a 27 year old Japanese Toonaholic (Cartoon fan for you foreigners). I draw cartoons and comics on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior American games. (Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty) I train with my 1911 every day, this superior weapon can shoot straight through steel because it kicks ass, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my gun license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day. I speak English fluently, both the Midwestern and the East Coast accents, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about American history and their Constitution, which I follow 100% When I get my American visa, I am moving to New York to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Nickelodeon or a game designer! I own several cowboy outfits, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to America, so I can fit in easier. I keep cool to my elders and seniors and speak English as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

[@noriyaro]

+1 relevant copypasta.

[@donloder1]

Took me three visit to notice what you meant by your comment!

[@220Hoi]

I just love the variety in car scene you got over there and furthermore that you show us every kind of style you can find a meet of!

[@m4ini]

I think the "single solid colour SUV" thing is supposed to look like a clay concept car maybe?

[@Shred475]

it's nice seeing the different car cultures of Japan along with all of your drift videos. would love to see more like this!

[@OutcastAngelV]

I love seeing this. It makes me so happy to see other cultures embracing ones that aren't their own. I love these giant mixing pots. I am very curious, do Japanese love it when they see Americans, etc embracing the import/ drift style?

[@HybRidChrome]

It's always great to see shows like these, especially here where they're real big...

[@distracted8950]

please make a video about modification laws in Japan, it would be realy interesting.

[@kinafermusic2456]

I've recently found your channel and it has had a huge positive influence on the car culture aspect of my life. Thank you so much for your channel. Life changing

[@power1212]

Hi Alexi, enjoy your videos but can I make a recommendation. I think you should invest in a gimbal stabilizer as you do alot of walk and talk, with sharpe camera movements I find I get slight nausea from this. Also this will improve your production quality and really lift your game as a KZbinr. Something to think about anyway...

[@noriyaro]

For these sorts of shows, I think you might be right...

[@refard5]

I get slight nausea and headaches sometimes.

[@afterlifedes]

I did too! I had to pause it.

[@skydoosher]

Matt Ford I totes gree, brah. It will up production quality immensely.

[@skydoosher]

noriyaro I second that motion. It will bring your production quality to another level✌️

[@artdroid]

So cool that Japan has great custom and hot rod culture! Thanx for vid Alexi!

[@cmanxz]

That papa johns delivery car is amazing. sound is good btw.

[@emb2661]

Thats so cool seeing so many different kinds of card culture styles in one place.

[@poisonbang2178]

Please go to the lowrider event. I'm interested to see how that scene's in Japan. Also, what's with that Monsters Inc. logo at 22:04 ??

[@morganrees6163]

I met that guy who showed you his modified Hiace back in January in Japan. He owns DMC paint and kustoms in Chiba, actually on the same road Top Secret is located on. He showed me around his workshop, his customer cars and his drag build he was working on. If I remember it was an old 50s or 60s mazda with a cappuccino engine in it. Really nice friendly guy, and sums up the hospitality in Japan for people traveling just to witness the car culture. Looking forward to re visiting his shop again in January.

[@claytonspyker8364]

[@spencervalek2173]

All these American cars and no burnouts! I guess they are frowned upon on public roads in Japan?

[@BigWheel.]

Spencer Valek There just wasn't a big enough crowd to plow into...

[@spencervalek2173]

BigWheel there weren't any mustangs at that show and most land barges go pretty straight during a burnout

[@BigWheel.]

Spencer Valek A monster like some of those wagons can go through about 40 people with ease if you aim it correctly Although Japanese are lighter and smaller than American people A crowd of about 80/90 would be a good start...

[@BigWheel.]

It's all about aim my friend

[@mokeimusic]

This used to be at a different location but we got kicked out because of burn outs and basically being loud. Almost didnt have this show because of it.

[@americanjedi4938]

Oh my lord, those ford f100 pickups..... i want to import one of those into australia, my dream car.

[@blanktemplate4415]

Kaneikins They are sold in Australia, most aussie's just ran them until they broke.

I think around the 70's they were produced in Aust but I want the 50's which I would prefer to import rather than buy here.

NOTIFICATION SQUAAADDD

[@wvlfkvnt]

Dude, I think this was by far the most "interesting" video you've done. This was an awesome treat seeing all of our domestics over there. Including that DSM Eclipse. Keep up the good work man! I think it would be really cool if you went to an exclusively lowriders show. I mean, there are quite a few instagram guys covering the scene but it would be cool to get your take on it.

[@squallleonhart104]

Japan has more cool American cars than America does. Or at least unique

[@LiquidyToast]

We certainly have some cars like them over here, but you find one or two each local car show. There in Japan it's easier to see that if youre dedicated enough to import something like them you'd want to go all-out

[@ZeroOne01Rus]

Besides, for Americans "its just another old chevy", when for people outside of US those cars are something they rarely see if at all.

[@gaiustrollius9920]

Because they take good care of them, they don't treat them like scrap metal.

[@pablopicaso8374]

lol, have you ever been to a car meet in Cali? There is stuff just as amazing in America easily.

I live in SoCal. The classic car meets and shows here are unrivaled. Still, it's really cool to see the Japanese scene. Much better than I would have expected.
