It’s always a good day when Albo post a new video.
ikr? His videos are so chill i love it
Dude you are being super open and real. Makes the channel more interesting. It’s car life with actually “life” in it. Different from most car guy channels.
I really htink its more A kin to how he started. Sort of going back to his roots. When I first found this channel That is exactly what it was. HE was still trying to figure everything out and part of that reality made the videos that much more enjoyable. All too many people have Hyper Finished Videos with near Michael Bay levels of work put into them and thats nice and all, but it gets old. Sometimes you just want to see "What its Like" not "what THEY Want it to look like to you"
Let’s get ALBO to 01 MIL 🎉🎉 by the end of the year, congrats ALBO ❤🎉
This takes some balls and I'm elated to see this happen! Good luck Albo! I'll be watching and routing for you man! Been watching for about 2 or 3 years now and loved every second! Here's to more rad content and mad respect!🎉
Newborns are no joke. The sleepless nights seems never ending but it will get easier month by month. Looking forward to more contents from you.
Congratulations man on your decision!!!!! It has been an honor to get to know u and good luck!!!🙏
Bro, Congrats on ur baby. Looking forward to more new contents! 1 million subscribers coming up soon, I feel it!
Congratulations again kuya Albo! Been here since the early DriftHunter days and couldn't be happier to see you continue doing what you love! There's many challenges going forward as your facing them and I believe you'll be able to overcome them! You've already made it this far! Remember that 💪💪💪
BANANA 🍌
Banana! Congratulations on the birth of your son. Best of luck moving forward with your UA-cam gig. You are really loving the life.
Yo Albo it's nice to see you back at it 100%. I will do as much as I can to help grow the channel even more. A trip worldwide to see the car scenes in different countries sounds incredible! I hope you get there soon!
Respect the hustle!! I hope you big turbo your forester, wide body flavors etc.. that would be a 🎉🎉 fire build series
I really enjoyed this format, vlogging and incorporating AMA into it. Thanks for the great content!
Loved the video today Albo! Cheers from Oregon!
Congrats Albo. Always upward and onwards. Proud to see the growth.
Yessir another upload from albo💪🏾
Nice to see these day-in-the-life type video's too! Keep 'em coming Albo! Keep up the good work!!!
13:23 Part of your Japanese customs is pushing that feeling out further/ longer. You wont have that "getting hit by a truck" holy sh!t Im a dad feeling until you are fully hands on with the kid, doing it every day, changing those diapers and feedin them, keeping them amused... Your first full day, of having the kiddo to yourself, knowing their life is in your hands.. THEN it hits you. Her being with her family for the Japanese typical newborn experience, kind of draws that "event" out until a later time. However at the same time, For the First time father, its Kind of Cool. Give you some freedom to really get your stuff together and get ready for that complete change.
You got this man. Keep going. Keep pushing and the more you stay at it, the more confidence you'll get and success will follow confidence
Fatherhood hits you the first time your child is sick and can't sleep all night. It's hard when you don't know what's going on and why they are upset. In the end it's a learning experience that you will remember for the rest of you life. It's all worth it in the end. Being a father is the best thing I have ever done.
Congrats on going full time YT Albo, hope you and the fam are doing great, and your beautiful son too! Those shots of Takasaki Station took me back - a trip down memory lane indeed!
Keep on this path brotha it won’t be a straight one, and theirs gonna be a few bumps… thru all that your gonna come out on top…
I can't wait for my order to arrive Albo. Thank you. I'm so excited.
Always makes my day whenever Albo post a new video, hope you come visit Philippines🇵🇭and experience the car scene here soon!
Wow I’d assumed you slow down after the baby. I’m here to support 🤘🏾
You will make this business work. I got faith in you. Love the content bro keep it going!
Hi Albo , congratulations on becoming a father I’m sure you will be great . Second of all you have every right to be nervous about leaving a secure job and going for it full time on UA-cam , but don’t worry mate , we have your back, just keep pumping content, like you have been and you’ll be cool. And lastly, I ordered my FL5 here in Australia today and am really excited. Obviously the wait time is long as with Japan but we all need something to look forward to. Love the channel mate , congratulations 👍🇦🇺🇯🇵
I was working previously over with Apple+ and I saw you on The Reluctant Traveler. Awesome to see. Keep it up, I’ve been following for quite a few years now
Enjoy your videos. Best of luck to you in your new adventures.
Congrats on being a dad! Good to hear you are on YT fulltime, wish you all the best and luck with it! Keep it up and you'll manage for sure!
I do not personally know about your logistics and financial situation but here's how my thought process went, suggestion would be to either 1. Store the forester somewhere and turn it into your garage queen (don't insure it during certain months or seasons unless you know you are going to use it for errands or some spirit driving). 2. Sell it 3. Go absolutely ham and just be Albo with the JDM Trio: Forester STI, FL5 Type R, and banana S2000.
Question/tip - if you are into Drifting, have you considered going to Formula Drift Japan events and making impressions/reports/stories on the topic/events? I'd watch that!
tip - when it comes to kids' language. Based on experiences of my friends and their kids (Polish/German family and Polish/Chinese family) one party speaks to kid in their native tongue, and the other in theirs. To talk between each other, parents settle on one language. Kids in these situations are catching all of the languages. So for Polish/German family kid can speak both languages (but German better, since they live in Germany). You could implement the same thing. You talk to your son in English, while your wife in Japanese. Then at home to talk to each other, choose Japanese too. Keishin will know both languages, and you will bump up your Japanese by practicing it at home ;)
Im excited for your journey my dude, very inspiring.
been waiting for this for the past few days, cant say how excited to see daily vlogs, inspired you took on the business fulltime and it is special that you share your intimate family and baby moments with us, really enjoyed the ama where we got alot of good advices on living in japan, everything from jobs to wages, to language, its the key to any of us hoping to join your adventurous journey thank you and appreciate you showing such a culture from which i have delved back into the hashiriya within, something idreamed of asa kid but not having that kind of infrastructure where i grew up, so cool to see how young kids get into it with their dads-wish the best
also props to doing the whole balancing act, over all these years its big, working full time, running a very popular youtube channel, getting married, buying a home, and now having a kid, you are doing great, and your positive attitude is teaching others how it is possible with both passion and discipline, even if stressfull or anxiety causing, overcoming the challenge
I saw that Countach. 👍 4:52
I love your content keep it up🎉
Congratulations on your son 🎉
Really like what are doing
You got this bro 💪 ima buy some merch when I paid next week, love what your doing 🙏
Albo !!!! awesome video man !!! , honestly i know your clock up k's on it but the SG9 STI / your sg9 is almost the best "family" car you could ever ask for right !!!!!!! , before it gets too old i hope you grab some silly things like a "new" set of sg9 head lights etc just little parts like that , that can make a car look old etc just for the future ! before you cant find them any more , witch some day will happen right ! ? , any way all the best !!!!!!
banana but wow what a video. goodluck with everythin albo. personally one of my favorites to watch on youtube
Keep up the great content
Albo, I don't know the difficulty in taking that leap but I have no doubt you'll flourish dude!
Carpe diem
One day I'll meet Albo and the boyz in person...can't wait for content. Hopefully to see more content of the entire country of Japan and dope activities. Like car activities.
Awesome video as always Albo. Now that you're doing UA-cam full time does that mean you're going to do more collaborations with Sammit and his Shop now that y'all both are new Fathers?
Being a father never really hits me. I'll sit and think wow sometimes and then like the one thing you put energy into- it becomes a means of looking at your ability to parent and your child's milestones.
Hope it all goes well for you going full time dude. I'm on UA-cam premium so will make sure to play the video all the way to help you out
Man...the first several years was so chaotic raising our 1st born just trying to provide. My son is turning 14 soon and my daughter turned 10 and it probably hit me a couple years ago when probably said "Damn... I'm a father". It's weird...but when you see your child (children) doing things and you're no longer needed to do it for them, that's when it truly hit me.
banana :D
With that said, man, go for it! It is scary indeed but you have tons of experience from your work life you can apply here. Btw, I found about your channel through a common friend from the office but we never met.
notifications on ready for all the content
to have to figure out how to make 4.5k a month to live in japan sound wild. I don't see how someone in their 20s could start from scratch without some support... sounds like a stressful scary life. Not that it's any better here on the east coast. All the best man, hope to see those big documentaries sooner than you expected Albo! Cheers!
Keep-up the good work on your UA-cam channel, I like your various car videos around Japan, so Cool ! Take Good Care of Yourself and Your Family ! God Bless !
great contents. Thank you ALBO
Being a dad is awesome but I have 7 year old twins and I still have to check myself. Intro tip on getting your boy behind the wheel. Razor crazy carts are a great start. Ive done all motorized little cars but these things really teach them throttle steering control. Plus you can get yourself a full size version to join him!
Congrats on everything! Shout-out fellow Golden Hawk! Gotta ask as a father what did you pick up for your newborn from the store?
So unbelievably proud of you, homie!!! ❤❤❤
If you’re worried about your son’s English abilities, one technique my parents did to ensure my sister and I had usable Cantonese skills growing up in small town Ontario was that we were only allowed to communicate in Cantonese at home. They were never worried about our English abilities since it will be natural in school and society. Focus on the native language at home so that it’s maintained to a usable extent. Maybe you could try that with your son. English at home, Japanese out in society and school.
God bless you and your family. I wish you the best. You have great content, can't wait to see where you take the channel. Oh and banana 😊.
@Albo thanks man for your daily content am from Africa, Uganda the way I love that SG9 forester
You need to collab with Mighty Car Mods!
in all honesty, you got to find your little flare on this huge youtube market, i think you can evolve the channel to something great. Look att SAMMIT, he started of kinda rough, but he just send it and belived in evolving the channel. exactly the way to handle a buisness. If you got that mentality in this project, you will have success. Only you know how much money you can potentially make from youtube, but never be naive, thats your downfall. always expect insane workhours for this to work longterm. I wish you all luck Albo!
3:00 You know what you have to do..... Might be 5+ years from now.... But you KNOW what you MUST do.
BANANA! love your vids dude! you got this!
4:40 u better keep that promise! expecting a f1 driver in the future!
That’s good definitely making more moves rather then just recording on UA-cam atleast your doing other stuff for income and either way I’m sure you can always find another job in your career if UA-cam doesn’t cut it. Put in that work full time 👌
アルボさん、よくできました, 大丈夫です!🙂 Will always support your videos!
🍌🍌🍌 Wishing you the best of luck on this Full Time YT venture, Albo オヤジ 😁
I wish you all the best for this step and your son / family! 💙 BANANA ✌🏻
Try to do more collabs! And I mean not just meeting people at Daikoku, but actually doing stuff together. Your viewership should grow and your videos would become more diverse.
I was a recruiter in Tokyo and I would say a "good" living wage in Tokyo is at least 10M. Foreign corporations tend to pay 12-15M with some going to 20M or more with bonus/commission. With the exchange rate now, 10M is less than 70K a year.
I agree, when I think about it, 10M is kind of necessary if you want to get married.
Don't forget to not skip the ads so Albo can get more of that Goodle AdSense cheese to pay the bills!!!!!
Ben a Fan for over 4 years G, GOOOD, Shit COngrats on Family
ima cop a hunter sweater in a few
FL5 would be a great car for him. its also his birth year.. pair it with a Seiko JDM watch released on the same year AND Month he was born..
mario kart kid edition, damn that looks like fun
The first time your kid is sick you realize you are a dad. That and tons of play/park time when they get a little older. For dual or trilingual kid. Don't stress over it. Treat English like anyone else in Japan and just enroll in a cram school for extra practice or another English school. The communication part will be ok. My daughter goes to a public Japanese school and her English is still doing well.
we'd love to see a keishin carting series!!!!
Dude that ending was so transparent, i hope to one day put aside my fears and insecurities and take a full plunge like you have. Genuinely wish u success both with the channel and personal life and congrats on the newborn 🫂
Heck yeah
Hi Elbow!
Albo don't worry about your kid being able to speak Japanese and English. If your wife speaks Japenese to him and you in English, he'll pick up both easy. Kids are sponges and it's much easier for them when young. My wife speaks another language and our kids speak both fluently. Good luck with the full time Youtubing
Been logging on and off UA-cam just to see if albo posted😂
Hey first. Love your videos also been watching you for a year now.
Thank you for watching, @Ronusan2481!
I'd be highly interested in a Pajero Evo build.
As a new dad take the opportunity that you have at the moment to get as much out of your system as you can, because when mum and baby move back in you’ll quickly find your time disappears very quickly, and you’ll have to sacrifice something if you want to be hands on nurturing him.
It really is an investment where the more you put in the more you can see them grow and develop. Don’t push yourself too hard to get content out, family first, as a real fan and father of a little one too I totally understand and won’t hold it against you as I’ve been following you for many years.
P.S looking forward to seeing what merch you’ll be bringing out 👍
yess please drift the miata
What shorts are you wearing during the workout ?
JDM Crew - I need a EJ20 engine! Any connections. Stay blessed
Damnnn you gonna show those feet for free bro?! Haha loving the father life vlogs keep it up man!
You got this brother,now that you’re a father trust me you will make it work!
❤
20:50 Sounds about like The US. Wages have Just started to move a bit but still behind inflation and such by 2 or 3 decades.
Does anyone have word on a Phoenix Yellow FL5?!? Is it actually going to happen Uncle Albo?
Nice, karting and sim racing. Get your son into motorsports especially in sim racing. future is bright☝
¡Gracias!
try to upload more than twice a week for the algorithm to help you.
I also went to WLU thats sick
Told ya once ol man ... git dat camera out my face!
Famous car,that may start a bidding war if you decide to sell.
A’s hat? Let’s go Oakland! SELL.
🔥❤️👍
Hong Kong is waiting for you
Oh yeah, albo ……
Sad, he didn’t even answer my question about a Pinoy collab with Paolo from Tokyo
I would love to, I reached out before and he never got back to me
