NOTIFICATION SQUAD: 10:56. Screenshot that and treasure it forever.
Ryotaro may have attempted to take me out once again, but at least this time it was ridiculously fun. If you don't hear from me again, it's because I've run off to join a Drift Racing team. (Either that or I've fallen down the stairs).
I wonder if this will have as many sequels as Fast and Furious. (Maybe Risottoro will come back to life and betray the team!)
You had me confused there for a while, then I was like oh yea ‘Risottoro’
Hi new subscriber here and this is cool. #Notification Squad
Number 338! :) Great video! Rename it to Tokyo Drift 2 🇯🇵

@@xyz2001xyz - Love it
That's actually pretty good! Wrll done!
Let's see Chris picking up drifting as a hobby and then making: "DRIFTING ACROSS JAPAN"
And then a side series where Ryotaro joins but only to visit and review restaurants along the way that sell risotto and call it “Risottoro Across Japan”
It will be faster than Journey Across Japan, for sure.
Hoonigan probably will do that one day
I can see it now, "Adrift in Japan" 😁😁
Alright, I'ma head out.
Hopefully with Eurobeat.
I guess Chris really does know, how they drift in Tokyo
If you see him and you mean it then you know you have to go...

I just got the joke I'm ashamed

I laughed way too hard when Ryotaro said "He's gonna die!"
"A complete disregard for Health & Saftey."
A British equivalent to 'this is dangerous.'

Ebisu - immediately thought of Noriyaro and wasnt disappointed
Indeed
Exactly. Saw the title and thought Noriyaros gonna be in here somewhere
My first time seeing North Course from a drone & I'm giddy about it.
jaka tingkir
Legit heard Ebisu and was like “oooh maybe we’ll get a glimpse of Alexi” boom Alexi has entered the chat
Amazing work with the sound on this episode.
Cheers! It was a nightmare.
Hello
So this is how Trash Taste knew about the where to drift
You cant see Joey, Connor, and Garnt cuz they are busy being $h!T at drifting lol
Yes
Chris: "Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt"
Risottoro: "He's gonna die!" *laughs*
Almost spit out all of my drink
He's gonna die AHEUI AHUEFAHFHAFHUAHUFHHAHHAAHHAH *evil laughs* xD
Lol, Ryotaro's face when he said "He's gonna die" is meme-worthy.
I woke my neighbours up from laughter. That was beautiful 😅 Risottoro
I was genuinely hoping Chris would die.
Someone better get on that asap
😂😂😂
Before this video feeling down all week
Now bursting into laughter
I'm sure it lost something in the translation? He probably meant "You are risking your life in a poetic way" or something. Right? Surely?
most non car people that make a "what is drifting" video and theyre usually trash and filled with inaccuracies and cringy stuff. This video was amazing and couldnt have shown drifting any better, everything was so well worded and concise but accurate. Amazing job Chris, ill definitely be using this video to show someone what drifting is
As a car guy, I just found this dude. He really explained shit really well. Most non car guys say some cringy ass shit.
I would have been disappointed if Chris didnt bring up Initial D.
Yeah as that anime made Street racing a more known thing
@Pastadudde We do not talk about that.
A man of culture !
The audio editing in this video is just fantastic.
Haha, it was an absolute nightmare. Your comment made it worthwhile! Cheers.
Yeah! Its super consistent, really hard to do with this kind of video.
Not many UA-camrs who deliver such professional quality; feels like I'm watching a documentary. Lovely
agreed. and easy to tell he has background in cinematography. not to dismiss his career on youtube over the years. the quality is absolutely second to none and keeps getting better. without knowing Chris personally, i'd still say he has a pretty solid work ethic, or so, to deliver quality video after video.
ua-cam.com/video/ryduPlYyWSs/v-deo.html
yeah... this is all i can do.....
Haven't watched him in about 2 years and I'm blown away! Constant and consistently quality
Right
Yeah his documentary skill is insane. Never I would tought I would watch more than couple of videos. The quality of his video alone keep me watching.
Japan's most dangerous obsession explained: "Well, I thought it looked really cool so I decided to do it."
Ryotaro saying “init” is my favourite part
Abroad in Japan: Topgear Edition!
Clarkson met the Drift King! The video's on UA-cam somewhere.
Natsuki as the Sitg.
@@AbroadinJapan This was shot very well. Especially the drone footage. It also seems like you guys were thoroughly enjoying yourselves. Would love to see more speed and power in your videos. Maybe you should collab with James May. If you haven't heard, he has a new show about Japan on Amazon.
He’s not the Stig, but he is...
The Stig’s JAPANESE COUSIN
(the only thing he likes more grip driving is drifting)
I love how Chris is slowly morphing into the Top Gear presenter he was always born to be.
I lost my shit lol
I went there a couple years back, was absolutely insane, loved it!
Wasn't expecting to see you here
what is the feee
Big big fan of Noriyaro! This is like a crossover episode that I never expected! Big ups to Chris for showing more people what drifting is and talking about it's origins 👍🏻
Chris comes to drift track:
[Eurobeat Intensifies]
*DEJAVU*
NO ONE SLEEPS IN TOKYO
And on a taxi. Living the Yakuza 5 life.
*_T h e T o p_*
*[TOP NOTCH TOFU DELIVERING]*
7:49 "this car is precariously close!"
love how articulate Chris is even while he's scared to death
Obviously it's rather thrilling experience, but drifting on a track is actually really safe. Probably much safer than cycling across Japan with bears or eating a mountain of crispy Japanese fried chicken. 🤷♂️
ua-cam.com/video/uIv7J8sUnTQ/v-deo.html
I've got a brilliant idea: Put him in the passenger seat with Daigo Saito behind the wheel. In tandem drifts, he's always keeping his car as close as possible to the front car with only a couple inches to spare
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@ixm2unvrzet him to ride along with either Daigo Saito or Naoki Nakamura both those drivers are so freaking good behind the wheel and drive very close like inches car to car, would love to see Chris react incar to Naoki doing a high speed smooth burst pass or backwards entry. 😂

“British man experiences the exhilaration and thrill of velocity displacement in deliberately sliding automobiles”
7:11 - "HE'S GONNA DIIIIIIII-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAIIIIIIII!"
I actually LITERALLY almost passed out CACKLING at Ryotaro's unmitigated glee at the prospect of Chris's impending demise.
I.... Really, REALLY needed that. ありがとうございます。
Now we know where Garnt got his inspiration from.
Man, those eurobeat and Initial D memes aren't joking. Drifting obsession is actually a thing in Japan lol.
DEJA VU!

I WOULD'VE NEVER THOUGHT that you'll make an episode based on drifting! Thank you!! :D
It was awesome to cover something original and a bit out of character. I'll definitely be back!
@@AbroadinJapan If you are interested in Formula 1, please vlog the Japanese GP
Ryotaro saying gleefully: "he is going to die" was too funny 😂😂
That was dark tho 😂😂😂
That the spirit
Nice to see Alexi on here. I am a drifter and want to add that its all about being close to the EDGE while having the complete control. Its an immense feeling as youve felt! Good edit here
Who’s here after trash taste’s special video on the Ebisu track
This might be the most unexpected video that you could have covered and yet the one I'm most excited about! Do more Japanese car culture!!!
Yeeeeees. I love Japan's take on Chicano car culture. He's so British though, it would really be a meeting of cultures right there! xD
Even more than spending a week with Hyde? His video just keep getting more suprising!
Saudações Leoninas
Wow. That bit starting at 7:00. The editing choices, the music... it all just comes together so perfectly. This is incredibly good stuff, Chris!
Ryotaro’s assassination attempts just get more and more creative!
Chris: "... in what might be the world's most extreme taxi ride."
Me: *searches Fake Taxi Hardcore*
I was going to say "Sabine might disagree with that." but then again I don't know how fast the Ring Taxi goes .
Oh God XD
Lmao 😂 😂
Got me thinking on a game called crazy taxi that I have lol XD
@@ElizabethBathog i remember that classic.
"Welcome Dangerous Drive"
Advert plays - "Been in an accident that wasn't your fault call injury lawyer's 4 u"
Me: Oh shit! LMAO
hahahah
Oh, that is perfect!
Glad Noriyaro was in this! Great video Mr Christopher all of it was like a magic
Not going to lie, as a car enthusiast I was worried a non car channel would do this topic a terrible disservice as most non car channels covering car topics do but I was very impressed! Thank you for the awesome content! You gained a new subscriber!
1. Japan
2. Drifting
3. Chris in a dangerous situation
Well this checks all the boxes for me.
This is Top Gear quality, Chris you need to take over that show, you as Clarkson, Risottoro as May and Natsuki as Hammond.
This would actually be amazing.
Top Gear Japan coming when?
No its better. Top Gear is often to cringy for me.
My gawd. The solutions has been in front of us all along.
But who will play Mexican Stig
Hey there Chris!! Long time watcher and lover of your channel! Just wanted to let you know if you find this comment that I really appreciate the professionalism and docu-style you put into your videos, the effort can be clearly scene and makes your content more than just entertainment but educational as well. Keep up the great work!
Finally, the content I was truly looking for. I love your "regular" vids, but I was waiting and hoping to find one where you covered drifting. I hope this flings you down the rabbit hole into the amazing subculture, including the whole street scene, Bosu, Touge drifting, all that.
"You know what DK stands for?"
"Donkey Kong?"
:D
Drift King
@@ebindelgado9660 drift?
What do you mean drift?
@Snowy Melody that is a reference to fast and furios tokyo drift
“But I’ve always been very dismissive and very narrowminded, I just sort of say: “Right drifting? Isn’t that just going around a corner really fast?”
But when you’re sandwiched between 2 others cars going 100mph, pressed into the back of your seat, hoping the car won’t loose control, and smoke billows in through the windows from the smoldering tires below, it’s hard to deny that drifting is one of the most exhilarating experiences you can have.
And I can see now, why people obsess over it so damn much.”
Never have I heard a better describtion about drifting!
It also sounded spontaneous! Not scripted!
i just wanna say: a common belief is that drifting is faster than grip driving, this is false
@@r3uvsgaming on the other hand there's slip angle and 4 wheel drift which give you better corner speed and exit
Its always so rewarding to watch your videos with a black tea in the morning with all this quarantine. Its as if we are travelling with you into those experiences that you have. We laugh with you and your friends and are happy to have learned something new at the end of each video.
Love how you keep stepping up your game. Feels like you keep trying top the next video. Better than the last. Been watching your channel for a while now. I really enjoy it. I wish you the best of luck!
"Risottoro cam" 😂
No Eurobeat but...
Hachi-Roku,
Noriyaro,
Initial D
AND PANDA TRUENO!?!?
The guy who made the best Eurobeat songs (Deja Vu, Running in the 90s,...), Dave Rodgers, still regularly uploads to UA-cam!
That's his channel ua-cam.com/channels/iipJgscQRIxaugbhmOsxRA.html
Riemenschneider EPIC ITALIANO!
Eurobeat would’ve been the icing on the cake in this video.
Riemenschneider bruh I listen to tohou eurobeat. The only superior form of eurobeat to Italian eurobeat.
Dropping a like doesn't feel like enough. I've been following your channel for years and always wanted to see you go to Ebisu. Even commented that on a video way back when. To see you finally make it out there and drop such an amazing video is so awesome!
What an amazingly edited video with so much cool history and on information and thoroughly entertaining all at the same time.
And on tonight's car show: ryotaro laughs. Chris wears a helmet and a man sells his car

Love your videos. You brighten my day with your cuteness and wicked sense of humour. I’m looking forward to moving to Japan to work as an Eikaiwa in a few months. Your videos help to make my expectations more clear and fun ! Keep up the great work !!
As someone who loves cars/drifting/and your channel I’m very glad you chose to display drifting in Japan and especially at ebisu circuit!
6:54 Oh gotta love the Japanese politeness... Blinking left when entering a ludicrous racetrack!
Yep, it also translates to street racing. Japanese street racers keep watch for traffic and race to improve as drivers. American street racers just do it for the thrill of disobeying the law
@@philspaghet Except it depends on the street racers. Bosozoku does it almost entirely for the thrill of breaking the law.
Tbh I'm not entirely against street racing as long as they do it away from congested areas.
@@1nSovi3tRussi4 For sure. Bosozoku guys were def more gang than racers tho
You are getting the wrong impression here. Your ordinary Japanese driver are one of the worse drivers I have come across. They are as bad as our drivers back home. They rarely use signals to indicate which way they want to turn at junctions. Most drivers do not observe the speed limit when passing through residential areas as they take short cuts through it. One of the biggest bad habit here is using their mobile phones while driving. I have been living in Japan for a year now and this is what I observed in my town. On the bright side, they do let pedestrians pass/cross at street crossing or at exits/entrances - that is when they are actually watching the road instead of their smart phone.
Racers are better drivers than your ordinary Japanese drivers because they know it could cost them their live.
@@zam023 darn, I thought they had fairly rigorous driver's ed systems
It's not everyday that Chris mentions any anime in his videos... loved the fact Initial D was brought up in this one :D
and ofc, Ryotaro's expressions in this video were hilarious 😂😂
I first watched your videos years ago but life happened and youtube was not a part of it. Now life is kinder and I have thoroughly enjoyed catching up. I’ve laughed A LOT and then realised I’ve learnt stuff. The subtle knowledge-ception has been appreciated. Planning a two week trip to Japan next year and feel like your videos and podcast have been the most helpful in the process so thanks! 😊
Lmao...that editing of him "he's gonna die"....i can't stop laughing typing this

youtube started recommending me this video because the boys and chris will do a drifting video this weekend.
Looking forward to it! A Trash Taste special!
These videos are getting better than anything on TV. Keep it up forever please !
Story time: My fiancé booked us a surprise trip to Japan - I've always wanted to go, and as such I've been following you for a long time as I love your vids!
I also love cars, so I've been following Noriyaro for a long time too. When I found out about the trip I suggested to my partner that we binge your videos, but she's already seen the majority of the Tokyo/Kyoto based ones, which was a nice surprise. Yesterday, I get home from a work trip abroad and she's talking about drifting this, drifting that, so I suggested Noriyaro's content, and she surprised me for a third time! The final surprise is that thanks to this video, she found the Festival of Motorsport on the 5th April near enough to where we are staying, and that we're now going to see that too 😄
All that, you just randomly bumping into Noriyaro (though if you head to Ebisu enough it's a given 😜) - feels like stars aligning or worlds colliding. Awesome :)
Anyway, cool vid as per and thanks!!

Everything on this channel could easily be on TV and I wouldn't question it.
Abroad in Japan does really good script work, great editing, over all good content really.
"Work hard behind the computer, then come out to Japan to blow it all on lovely cars". Chris, in one sentence you have just described my life's goal and the reason I actually try at uni studying Computer Science, so I can make a shit ton of money and blow it all on project cars and track days - and visit Japan a lot for a multitude of reasons.
Running in the 90s!!!
Aah! Waited a long time for this. I knew it would happen someday and I was not disappointed. Well done Chris!
I had a smile on my face all video long! That was fun 15 minutes, thanks Chris!
I had a smile on the whole time, amazed how you managed to capture the excitement of the moment in your composition. it's honestly your most action packed video in the channel. great Job Chris!
Chris I can't help but notice you and James May have switched spots for a bit. You're with the cars and he's done a journey across Japan!! XD
this is the collab the world neeeeeeded!!

This is now one of my favorite videos of yours Chris. Cool that you hooked up with noriyaro for this one. If it is possible, you should get into this. It is a hell of a lot of fun, and very therapeutic. It will make your balls grow bigger. lol
the “he’s gonna dieeee” part has me dying. looks like you guys had tons of fun there. i’m jealous. haha.
two of my favorite japan vloggers in one video, perfection.
Never in my life I would have thought you made a video about car scene/drifting video but glad you did love all your videos and love with the car scene and drifting ! Go all the time back here in California! And will be in japan in May and will be going to ebisu lol
You can tell Ryotaro is a really good friend to Chris. Only the best of friends laugh like that while gleefully saying that you are going to die
The best japan-based foreign youtuber AND drifting? I clicked this video with more excitement than Natsuki meeting Hyde!
Man, that looks like fun. But more than that, this video was among your best technically. Great filming and camera work, and exceptional editing. Well done!
I've been following you for quit a while and your videos improved a lot (altough the first ones were the funniest to me). You actually gave me the inspiration the learn kanji again cause the first time I tried I quickly gave up. Yeah drifting gave me that inspiration...
Never would've thought Chris will talk about this, it's a huge topic
I was disappointed to hear stock soundtracks & not eurobeat in the background... :/
Well he has to get this vid monetized
@Filip Gasic Right. I would love to get something like The Top or Night of Fire in this vid, but I understand why he wouldn't do it. Or he can use royalty-free eurobeat.
@@yozora1047 This is because of copy-right, right? YT doesn't block a video for copy-right, it just demonetizes?
SI0AX Copyright-related issues, yes. Demonetization is most likely to happen but if push comes to shove, blocks or takedowns could happen.
Dave Rogers is on UA-cam, he might have authorized the use of his new tracks.
Amazing video, pal! Great fun, so happy for your two :)
As an 16 year old American, it’s amazingly hard to get into this sport, yet I absolutely love it

At the start of the video I said "where's Alexi" and the camera pans and there he is. Nice. Bonus points for Dori Dori.
It's interesting getting to see drift culture through the eyes of someone that isn't clinically insane
i was so happy and excited to see Alexi in this video, I love him
