    Join Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May as they travel across the globe on their Grand Tour. A show about adventure, excitement and friendship… as long as you accept that the people you call friends are also the ones you find extremely annoying. Sometimes it’s even a show about cars, reviewing Italian classics, hot hatchbacks, muscle cars, pick-up trucks, luxury vehicles and more. There’s something for everyone (If you like middle-aged men doing things with cars, then this is the show for you!)
    Prime Video has thousands of popular movies and TV shows, including award-winning Amazon Originals, plus live sport and more. All included with Prime!

    Our Man in Japan is one of the best shows James May has ever done. I've probably watched it half a dozen times or more. I love his solo projects.

    They are a group called “Zenryoku Boys”.
    “Zenryoku” means do own best.
    Their base of activity is Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.
    They are lucky to meet James.

    “I’m already wishing I hadn’t come” is an unfortunate choice of words, due to the name of the store.

    Thank you @The Grand Tour, thank you for prompting my memories of Japan back in 1980ish... forgive me, I am an old man of 64 with mental probs, so cannot off my head give precise dates, but I lived there for a while, and my girlfriend back then was the most beatiful woman I have ever been with, and the sex.... never had better ANYWHERE in the world... and I have lived in MANY countries, 33 in total

    Once a nerd.. always a nerd James.. you fit right in there in Japan.. you make Nerds cool son.. the Japanese try so hard to be cool but something is missing.. maybe cause they are so genuine..therefore they are truly cool like you son..keep up the nerdy cool.. the world needs people like you right now.. all the best.. Captain Slow..❤

    • @Circuitssmith

      You’re right mostly, but Japanese people observe etiquette, duty, and decorum to an extreme degree. Status and class are huge sources of prejudice, everything has a ritual and an expectation. Underneath it all they might be genuine, but it’s a very conservative society.
