Romantic Touge Date Gone Wrong…Driving Japan’s Famous Initial-D Courses ! / S4E39

[@G_Ozare]

You've become one of my favorite automotive YTbers man. Its not just the cars but your personality and genuineness shines through. And we see what a great dad and husband you are and how much your family means to you. I think many of us can perceive this. Its amazing how far and fast you & Kota grew from the first episodes before you sold from your old house before The Land. I still have your OG decals unused haha Wishing you continued success & blessings bruh!!! Stay Rad. -Gio

[@romaineknight7539]

This is exactly why I patiently wait for new videos to drop! You couldn’t have said it any better!… Bless up Josh

[@lilAckerman]

It’s a whole Ep fr . A Show . . Truly magnificent. .

[@D.S.T.K]

You're absolutely right.

[@wheelg307]

Gotta love the longer vlogs with everything from the upgrades to the japan culture/places content and the touge run. That center console and armrest is a must for street driving 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@RAZGR1Z]

The look on Leah's face when you guys heard the noises was priceless! Glad you guys survived the haunted ryokan. Thanks for sharing this trip with us!

[@kheeezzy8324]

Thanks for not breaking up this video into multi parts. Love the full episodes even if it longer than usual

[@offrimits]

what a epic episode dude , love the longer run time and leah taking the mick was hilarious

[@Jjjjjjj750]

Mic* as in Microphone. mick would be someones name

[@offrimits]

@@Jjjjjjj750 here in the uk "taking the mick" out of someone is making fun of them or "taking the piss" is another uk saying for the same thing 🤣

Honestly, this is one of your best videos ever. Great job. I love the personal feel of it and the interactions with your girl. The overall vibe is on point. Keep it up.

[@beltalowda]

damn! we get food, family, CARS, culture and friends all in one video. You've hands down become my top 3 fav youtuber of all time. This was a treat to watch.

[@imnotsurewhy]

The fact that this was almost an hour is the best. The linger the video the better. It's a mix of car content and everything else is just the perfect blend.

[@Jonmajorsmith]

I love this longer form video! Thanks for always releasing new episodes so regularly!

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

Vibe is the key word with this one. Used every minute of runtime to the fullest. Great stuff.

[@davidboyce6427]

Josh Lea has so much class and sophistication. Thank you Lea for showcasing Japanese tradition 👌

[@harshivjotsingh8073]

that was soo much fun to watch Josh! The passenger queen view of Hakone was honestly the best! Can't wait for more driving content this year :)

[@spoonv]

Josh, this is one of those videos that shows the best of makes you stand out from the other youtubers. You and the people your surround yourself with really make your content easy to watch and really feel like I could be there jamming with you guys. Love the different commentary between your jokes and Leah's factual excitement in regards to Japan culture. Even though I've been watching only you for less than a year, definitely one of my favourites really motivating me closer to getting into the JDM lifestyle. You and Kota are easily my Top 5 channels. I've cancelled cable TV already...no pressure tho ahahaha

[@brandonogden3926]

First thing I thought when he opened the boxes was “that boy ordered 99-00 headlights for a 96-98 front end 😅” love the CTR

[@Jaycapo1990]

Was looking for comment before I posted the same thing

[@405BryanH]

Same 😂

[@peaceminus1]

cars, togue runs, the scenery, the food.. being in japan in general>>>>>>>>>> pd: living the car dream in japan and having a wife that georgeous is beyond insane, you really hit the jackpot

[@DrFishyRS]

100% run it back in the summer with a squad in drift cars. also crazy to see the vibe change in the videos from back in the states vs Japan - you seem wayyyy happier brother :)

[@Snake_47]

crazy seeing u here haha, miss rb days 🥲

WE LOVE THE LONGER VIDS KEEP IT UP!

[@0zWaldKuozjiee]

The moment Jeff and e_ought figured out cutting the ac belt was the answer and said the famous line (ITS Just A Honda) they became true Hoooonnnddaaa Booooooiiiiiisss😂😂😂

[@kenkawai4223]

Love the vid. Also love watching you and Leah doing things and traveling together through Japan. Keep it up

[@scottsvintagefire]

Man I swear everytime you post a video it just gives off the best Vibes ever as soon as I press play I'm transported into another country that I may never get to visit thank you for this experience bro keep up the good work

[@Mikedlasvegas]

This is a dope video with all the variations of cars, food, and scenery of your day and Japan. Nice to see Leah on video more often and yes go back whens the weather is better. Do like seeing the snow and rain. Great job Josh. Keep it up Love the content. ❤☝️

[@JohnHenryFernandez]

What an amazing video!!!! Loved every minute of it. Love how you mix automotive content with your everyday life in Japan! Keep it coming! More blessings & success!

[@Ascorbicon]

This is the best video you’ve posted yet! The ambiance is unmatched like it definitely felt like a core memory caught on video

[@Josh_Walter]

Hahahaha koda calling you out for not working on your cars!!! Love it 😂😂😂😂

[@lowcountryfungi]

Love this episode!! Keep doing these, it's fun seeing you and Leah hanging out.

[@Diamondhillchi]

Those headlights are for facelift model ek 99-00. People usually do facelift conversion because it looks more aggressive but you need to change the fender, bumper and hood from memory

[@Jaycapo1990]

Yeah seen that also he brought wrong headlight luck he didn’t spend $1ooo on oem ones from Different year

[@oronarjett]

Man's just bought his dream Skyline R34 GT-R, and here we are with the Homda Civic Type-R content. Love it! I miss my Civic Jordan, and my dream is the Skyline! Keep it up Josh, loving the content!

[@sapper3504]

dude your videos are legit cool as hell and chill. 100%

[@darrylrossa309]

My favourite vlog just got a million times better, for what its worth the ek9 was my dream car since I was probably 11.. I now own a ek4 b16a and she bad as hell.. big ups guys this is where it all started for me.. literally at the edge of my seat due to this incredible honda content..

[@wilsua]

17:42 almost thought Jeff had some crazy backfire for a second there lol.

[@ryanjayson9390]

Eg and ek style never gets old...

[@keonerawlins5173]

Loved this vid. It’s cool seeing automotive content mixed with scenic Japan settings. Always a plus seeing the in4mation hi clothing in your vids! Aloha 🤙🏾

[@Okkin2410]

Leah mocking you “so let’s go 😝” lmaooo

[@Serbennai]

Love the video! Seeing you rip through Hakone Skyline makes me wanna go back again on my 86. It never gets old! I wanna see how my 34 performs next when I get new coilovers for it.

[@RAZGR1Z]

Ohhh snap almost a full hour of Josh and the gang? This is gonna be good!

[@lucioalonso4547]

Thanks for the awesome video content you guys! Really enjoyed the hatchy's in action . I would agree with you Josh that more content with nicer weather is goals!

[@mort7987]

The coastal car scene is so cool! The lifted Trucks, motorbikes, Supercar and even a bagged/lowrider car

[@chrisnuggets]

Your left side is OEM zenki EK9 with dark housings. Your right side is normal non type R zenki lights. The one you bought is a Kouki design which wont fit the zenki fender bumper and hood line perfectly. Itll be off by a bit because of the different kouki design Sadly Zenki EK9 stuff is all discontinued including headlights. Im sure you can hunt for a good condition zenki light at upgarage or autobacs though

[@Jahoo89]

KEEP IT UP! this was so badass, touge run was smooth and you both got some amazing shots of how it realy is there! :)

[@asiaeuphoria]

Leah's reactions to the noises remind me of when we would watch scary movies at y'alls house lmao miss you guys

[@KillAiHD]

[@sheasmythe7472]

I just came here for my weekly dose of sarcasm. Thanks Josh 🤣😂😂 Really love your vlogs man. Your edits have really gotten good. You two are like my favourite youtube couple, nothing but good vibes with you two. None of that typical KZbin fakeness here, just 100% good vibes. Love your character, love your content dude.👌🏼 May 2023 Be Your Year 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@brenreidy8763]

How TF has this glorious channel been hiding from me for so long? Old school Honda Boi here, so I was subbed within aboouuutttt 30 seconds. FanTAStic EK. Great content duder. When I built my CRX, I had the same issue with there being no center console...my arm would just droop and feel like a noodle. There weren't many options so I had to fancy something together, but it gave me so much relief and comfort. PS - OE wheels are BEST...imo.

[@Lord_Ronnie]

I love your show man, you're the best!❤️ I always check everyday if there's a new video

[@dLEARiousZ]

Everything about this video was great! Love the touge runs with the hondas!

Good times. Well Leah was right. You'll definitely remember this hotel for years to come. Great vid, thx for sharing.

[@UpTownDanny]

Yoo that beach spot is dope! @ 16:00. The whole video was a vibe. Glad you guys had a good time.

[@john.f.remedy.237]

Great video man. That’s definitely something I would want to see more of…

[@capillarysystem]

Very beautiful vlog , full of ups and downs, funny moments and you and leah both showed of ur interests

[@Jjjjjjj750]

When you popped the headlight out of the box, I immediately knew you got the wrong ones. Your car is a 96-98 and you got 99-00 headlights. 96-98 are round and 99-00 are a little sharper looking.

[@mohamadakmal9137]

This is sick bro ! Love the touge run

[@reneflores1853]

Love watch his videos, started not to long ago but I can’t stop watching his videos fun and always interesting

[@aquascapes_or]

that episode was amazing! smiles all around!

[@SyDollaSign]

The headlamps you got were for a 99-00 and the ones you need is 96-98 headlamps. The corner lights different and shape is the easiest way to tell. The 99-00 front bumper is different too. A lot of people do the 99-00 facelift and the dash radio console on the 99-00 fits a double din

[@samchunghoon1819]

That was priceless man. Thank you for sharing the adventure.

[@Stay_positive_Test_negative]

almost 50 min video… thank you 😢😂🫶🏼

[@JoeMurks]

Appreciate you for almost giving us an hour long video lol. You’re the best 🙏🏾😂

[@El_jefe_562]

We need more this content. Ek9 and togue and Japan culture. And content this long. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@RAZGR1Z]

Sucks that the weather wasn't good but it's still a cool experience to drive those roads! That was WRX weather!

[@cingkole7893]

MORE TOUGE RUNS PLEASE

[@GaryV209]

🔥 love the vibe of this video. EK looks sick!!!

[@MoNSt3r9535]

this didn’t even feel like 48 minutes 😂 keep the long vids coming !!

[@Mr.Grimm_380]

This was a great video, you should do more couples type videos like this. Beautiful area!

[@dynadaily801]

This video was so god damn cool I watched every minute favorite blog yet the old Japan history is so cool thank you for sharing do more small travel videos!

[@malnik77]

I recognize Hakone when you passed by the train station. We took the train there from Tokyo. Once we got off the train, we had to cross the pedestrian bridge that appeared on your video to get a taxi. We went there mainly for the onsen hot springs and sightseeing. I didn't know about the Inital-D course, but without a car, it would've been hard to get there. There are a lot of kids attractions in Hakone. The pirate boat you saw is a shuttle that takes people around the bay. There is also a Little Prince theme amusement park. We also took the red tram at the train station up the mountain and leads to a bunch of switchbacks. I honestly forgot what the destination and attraction were for the tram.

[@bmcshane80]

Bro you're living the DREAM Josh! Killer video! Big Love from Australia guys!
