Absolutely perfect finale for this series. Neil you’re a gem, thank you for being such an inspiration. Your passion and authenticity is unparalleled. ♥️
Just brilliant. I can see why it took so long to edit this all together with the amount of footage you had. Really making me want to go out and do this too!
I've held off from commenting, just happily watching and taking it all in. Thank you, Neil, Flip and Josh, for pulling this all together and letting us live this through your lens and eyes. I echo your sentiment of just getting out there and doing it. My wife and I bit the bullet in 2023, leaving our 5 month old son at home and I loved every minute. We managed to carve out little slices of Japan's culture, both car and otherwise, and would recommend anyone to do the same. Sunday Morning/Afternoons in Daikoku, Renting any car (Nissan Dayz) and driving the Hakone Turnpike and seeing 86s and Touge monsters in the wild, visiting UpGarage and Super Autobacs. Seeing all of your mind melted expressions brought back a lot of happy memories and glad it wasn't just me! Everyone - Get out there and JUST DO IT.
This was so much fun. I’ve got to go back and rewatch Japan in a Van just to catch all the references again then watch the whole series again. Not a lot of content you can do that with. A couple of gems of videos. Thanks for taking us along and all the work you’ve put into it. It really shows. ✌️
I had the exact same smile on my face watching you drift as when you got to drive the green 86 in Japan In a Van Ep.2. I was whooping and hollering the whole time 😂. I now realise that watching Japan in a Van in 2021 set the spark for me to properly commit and go Japan myself. I'm now (after lots of saving) going there for 5 weeks next year and renting a motorhome for the duration and travelling around, hugely inspired by Japan in a Van!. Sometimes, I've felt reluctant with spending so much money on just a trip, but your reflection of your experience at the end of this video just solidified my reasons for going and gave me goose bumps. Thanks so much for all the love you pour into your videos!
I think i know exactly what you are talking about. I have always been into Japanese car culture, growing up playing Gran Turismo and seeing Japanese car media in the internet. I visited Japan for the first time in 2014 and it took my heart. Three weeks of seeing places From Nagoya to Tokyo to Ebisu and so on. Many long years after that, back in 2018 we started to plan the trip to visit there with my friends, but then Covid19 happened, the whole world shut down and we had to wait. Then came the 2023, many bad things happened at the beginning of the year and I decided that this is my year, alone or with friends, I will go. And just like that I booked flights and went there by myself. It was the best time of my life, two weeks discovering places, seeing cars, culture and meeting new people who are now asking when is the next time I am going to visit there. Well, that next time is now this fall, going there again in september, this time with my friends who we have planned the trip originally since 2018! I can't wait. Thank you so much for this series, brilliant work and keep it coming! It is literally just the thing you told at the end of this video. People, you need to go and experience this by yourself. Even I did it alone, so everyone can do it!
thanks for letting us tag along on your adventure mate. it wasnt as epic and packed as japan in a van was, and i think that that can just never be recreated, but this was still great to watch. so cool you got to link up with the honda gang, and the juice(pro)box will stick out as my favorite thing of the whole series. excited for you to bring us "Regular" content again.
I've said it time and time again, you deserve to get the recognition from all the amazing work you put into these videos and how passionate you are about the culture! I've seen so many people go to Japan and it's all arrive see shops and go to tracks and leave but you know so many of the small og shops that nobody knows and can tell the owners more about the place than they know themselves. This series are amazing and I always look forward to another Monday
Even if we don't get the chance to go and see it through our own eyes, we've seen it through yours, which is the next best thing. So, thank you Neil, and all the lads.
The juicebox trips to Japan have inspired me to buy my cefiro, and take a group study trip there through uni. These are both some of the best decisions ive ever made. This series has me thinking about applying for the jett program. Thank you!
only watched Japan in a Van recently, not sure why i was putting it off, but between that series and this one it must be one of the best Japanese car culture content on this site. I gotta go someday but i wouldnt know where to begin 😅
I have absolutely loved this series! Thank you so much for documenting everything. I love your style of filming and talking about it via the studio style shots too!
Brah I gotta say Niel you are the man! Just taking a nervous poo And then getting comfy on the track sliding the 86 like a champ ! What a fucking lad ! Aloha brah !! Stay loose ! 🤙🛞💨🇮🇪✨
Thank you so much to all the Juicebox lads for another incredible documentary! The production quality is so high and gives a really authentic, honest portrayal of Japanese car culture told through the experiences of a group of friends! Your passion and respect for Japanese car culture is clear for all to see, as is your awareness of how this culture is changing and the impact that has on car enthusiasts both in Japan and overseas. Since I'm unlikely to get over there myself any time soon, these documentaries really have been the next best thing and I've loved being along for the ride. Bring on the next mad adventure!
Neil honestly can’t say how grateful I am to you guys for giving us these incredible videos. You bring a humbleness to your channel which is very rare in UA-cam world. Inspiration for a future trip 👌🙏
Ah man right in the feels that. Such a good series, done so well and love the emotion and passion you show. I was fortunate to go with good mates in 2018 and we loved it and bought cars at ebisu to go and drive in may 2020...... I'm still so gutted now about not being able to go and drive ebisu but I have to go back soon now you guys are so inspiring. Thanks for the great content
Thanks for sharing your insane trip with us! I'm happy for you that you were able to fulfil your dream of drifting an 86 in Japan on one of your favourite tracks. Happy 86 day Neil! 👍
Easily the best car series ive ever wacthed on UA-cam, fair fucking play lads the whole trip looked amazing and so glad you got to drive the 86 in the end. 86`s are my favourite car ever and I love the drag spoilers so your 86 is just unreal to me, once again fair play and cant wait for whats next from you guys.
Watched this last week on the patreon, just here to like it again😂great finale, shame the lads couldn’t hang around but definitely the right choice for Neil to hang on👌
As always Neil you make incredible videos for our viewing satisfaction, the story you tell is always done with such emotion & etiquette that relates to us all, from fucking around in the shed, building the car, japan trips, you involve everyone and tell their side of the story, such a good film maker and so perfectly executed always. Coming from a honda culture in my younger days to then sbodys and now being a family guy, it’s good to see that you still hang with your friends and that the cars your in involved with keep you all together, many of my old car friends have sailed ship ( me too) and gone their separate ways but to be able to watch you guys kind of brings back the memories and good times we all used to spend together, i miss it, miss it with a heavy heart. Hope that everything you give to us is received back to you 10 fold, i always can’t wait for the next video, i’m glad you have set out and achieved your bucket list wish! Why don’t you have anything to drink? Choose one making you better feeling!
To try to coin a phrase when I saw you park at the 7-11's etc 'a raggedy-arsed-thing looked beautiful in context, a survivor, a warrior, a true Samurai''
I think my fav part of this journey was the one where you went to that track day with the old lads breaking out beautiful classics and rallying the shit out of them.
*slow_clap*, especially after that final music segment which summarized your whole trip. Like it was last episode of some big studio series. In this episode I think there was more close shots then previously and they were definitely high class. Generally, another great episode. In summary whole series - definitely it will be a memory related to summer, most likely get back to me in similar time in future. This series was imo also better then "Japan in a Van" (without a plan), as it indeed was planned. Less chaotic, better story driven (not like previously it was bad) and all editing was just right. Definitely will go back and watch series some time in future. Finally, I'm aware that previous series was shot in HD and it lost some quality in final edit, but as this time everything was shot on better equipment, there is just less excuses to make limited Bluray ;)
Great trip. Brings back memories of the late 2000s for me. That gze can be a decent weapon... chuck some poncams in, a bigger crank pully and you're away. Awesome to see you have a skid in it and progress pretty fast, hard with ciabata on the rear. It was setup for the perfect experience though - ae86 = difficulty set to hard. OG 86 drifters don't have or use the handbrake so that was cool!
Man the shit-eating grin on my face right now when it all clicked for you lmfao Fuckin buzzin that I was actually able to vicariously follow you lads along on this trip, absolutely tough shit all throughout.
Ahhhh, man this is beautiful, watching people like yourself that appreciate the photography of video really gets me. Also, I miss Robs vids so much man, such a chill guy to watch. Glad he's still doing his own thing enjoying the car life, I guess the grind of the yt film-edit-edit-edit-edit-edit, film, edit again x10 can grind you down but it would be great to see something from him on here once in a while. ❤
I was like you and fell in love with Japan and its culture years ago, I have been back something like 5 times now, We are going back in January with a few friends this time to show them Tokyo auto salon and the rest of Japan. I do fear for Japan though and the influx of some of the tourists that abuse there good nature. I am glad to see legendary shops like Jackpot and CSL staying off the radar and still functioning as if it is still 1998 I hope one day I can save enough money to do the same as you and go and buy and drive a car over there
Absolutely perfect finale for this series. Neil you’re a gem, thank you for being such an inspiration. Your passion and authenticity is unparalleled. ♥️
Cheers lads! Means a lot!
Thanks for taking us all along, guys. Cannot wait to see what you've got in store for this glitterbomb of a car
Hopefully I can get it home! Would be awesome
Quite possibly your own personal definition of “ Living the dream “
Absolutely fabulous edit & footage as always !
Yeah this was once in a lifetime stuff, very grateful that this worked out in the end!
Just brilliant. I can see why it took so long to edit this all together with the amount of footage you had. Really making me want to go out and do this too!
yeah man make it happens if you can!
Japanese 86 RINGS LAAAAAAD!!! ❤ it’s been an epic series Neil, thank you for showing us all of this 👊🏻
Cheers for watching
@@juiceboxforyou can’t wait to see what you bring us next lad ❤️👊🏻

What an experience! Already looking forward to the next adventure, an e36 in Japan 🤔 Japan with a shcan 🫱
Lol
Hahaha imagine
Man, from the editing to the storytelling to the music choices, this episode was MAGICAL. I loved this whole series so much :']
Brilliant series - the photo you got of the 86 outside the konbini with the dude looking back at it is fantastic.
A dream scenario! That was a great moment
Even if we don't get the chance to go and see it through our own eyes, we've seen it through yours, which is the next best thing. So, thank you Neil, and all the lads.
Stoked for you man! Beautifully put together video as well!
Means a lot Alec cheers!
This is very sentimental. Thank you for sharing your memories with us. You deserve it and more.
The juicebox trips to Japan have inspired me to buy my cefiro, and take a group study trip there through uni. These are both some of the best decisions ive ever made. This series has me thinking about applying for the jett program. Thank you!
Cheers for the Tip! Really humbled by that comment
For years you wanted your own 86, now you have two!!! Sure look it, be grand.
Crazy how that happens
only watched Japan in a Van recently, not sure why i was putting it off, but between that series and this one it must be one of the best Japanese car culture content on this site. I gotta go someday but i wouldnt know where to begin 😅
I have absolutely loved this series! Thank you so much for documenting everything. I love your style of filming and talking about it via the studio style shots too!
Means a lot to me, cheers for the kind words and for watching this story
Aloha I’m finally making it to Japan next year I’m so excited

Fantastic series as always lads! Loved every minute of it!
Awesome driving, Neil! And what an awesome journey!
Neil honestly can’t say how grateful I am to you guys for giving us these incredible videos. You bring a humbleness to your channel which is very rare in UA-cam world. Inspiration for a future trip 👌🙏
Another great video neil.. the love for the 86 is real.. and it gets more intense as you get older.. 👍
Some trip Neil! Very cool to see you achieving these dreams
so happy to see you having a blast learning how to slide a hachiroku in japan man! great stuff!
Ah man right in the feels that. Such a good series, done so well and love the emotion and passion you show.

I appreciate the hell out of these documentary style videos. I can't imagine the countless hours spent to make them. Thank you.

Cheers Banpei!
What a lucky roll! @slpery86 is the man! Should have aired the tires up to have less grip, bihoku pavement is too rough for grippy tires.
Easily the best car series ive ever wacthed on UA-cam, fair fucking play lads the whole trip looked amazing and so glad you got to drive the 86 in the end. 86`s are my favourite car ever and I love the drag spoilers so your 86 is just unreal to me, once again fair play and cant wait for whats next from you guys.
Cheers for the kind words and enjoying the series, I had a great time making these.
Watched this last week on the patreon, just here to like it again😂great finale, shame the lads couldn’t hang around but definitely the right choice for Neil to hang on👌

Cheers for the kind words, means a lot
The pang of pride when 'Bihoku rings lad' came up on screen!!
Loved this series! Cheers from 🇨🇦
To try to coin a phrase when I saw you park at the 7-11's etc
'a raggedy-arsed-thing looked beautiful in context, a survivor, a warrior, a true Samurai''
Killing it. Nice wheel control. You really started to get it!
Thanks guys this was amazing to watch the whole trilogy was awesome
Amazing man. I love these Japan trips y’all take
So glad you got to drift your own car in an epic track in Japan FOR REAL. Awesome trip man
Once in a lifetime stuff!
I think my fav part of this journey was the one where you went to that track day with the old lads breaking out beautiful classics and rallying the shit out of them.
That was a special unexpected day!
RIIIIIINGS LADS!!

Well and truly hope you keep going back again and again and givng us even more great content! Loved these videos.
what a nice trip! congrats Neil :D thx for sharing!
Phenomenal story & brilliantly told. Shame the series is over. Looking forward to see what becomes of the booter! 👍
Great trip. Brings back memories of the late 2000s for me.
That gze can be a decent weapon... chuck some poncams in, a bigger crank pully and you're away.
Awesome to see you have a skid in it and progress pretty fast, hard with ciabata on the rear. It was setup for the perfect experience though - ae86 = difficulty set to hard. OG 86 drifters don't have or use the handbrake so that was cool!
What a series! Absolutely loved it. It’s sad that the car culture is shrinking, but it’s probably the case in most places. Keep up the good work Neil
For sure, we gotta make the most of it while we can
thank you for these amazing videos dude! living the dream and im here for it!
Means a lot cheers!
Super sweet man.. I can't wait to go again this coming November!
You are awesome and you guys are awesome! Such an inspiration 🙏
Thank you for another awesome Japan series 🥰
Cheers for the kind words
Going soon! Uhhhh the inspiration brother 😎👌🏼
What a wholesome experience Neil and what a closing for the series. Appreciate you documenting it all and sharing with us! ✌
Means a lot man had a blast on this trip and very lucky it all worked out in the end
Dreams do come true brother! Good on ya!!!
Still feels like a dream
YES! Looking good out there at Bihoku! Dream unlocked indeed.
100%
Man the shit-eating grin on my face right now when it all clicked for you lmfao
Fuckin buzzin that I was actually able to vicariously follow you lads along on this trip, absolutely tough shit all throughout.
Yeah this was such a good trip!
Ahhhh, man this is beautiful, watching people like yourself that appreciate the photography of video really gets me. Also, I miss Robs vids so much man, such a chill guy to watch. Glad he's still doing his own thing enjoying the car life, I guess the grind of the yt film-edit-edit-edit-edit-edit, film, edit again x10 can grind you down but it would be great to see something from him on here once in a while. ❤
For sure, Rob will be back posting again someday, he's just living in the moment a lot of the time these days
Rarely commenting but this series truly was a joy to watch!❤
Means a lot cheers for the kind words
@juicebox bro what a way to end this series! Freakin awesome! Life's about making memories thank you for showing glimpses of heaven! 🤙🏾 Alohaz
I was like you and fell in love with Japan and its culture years ago,
I have been back something like 5 times now,
We are going back in January with a few friends this time to show them Tokyo auto salon and the rest of Japan.
I do fear for Japan though and the influx of some of the tourists that abuse there good nature.
I am glad to see legendary shops like Jackpot and CSL staying off the radar and still functioning as if it is still 1998
I hope one day I can save enough money to do the same as you and go and buy and drive a car over there
Awesome! Enjoy the trip back
What a crazy trip. Thanks for sharing💖
Amazing series man fair play! Looking forward to seeing what’s to come
This is truthly amazing, I love it so much! Thank you a lot!
Amazing so grateful for your time you put into thesee vlogs

Well done neil man. Seriously well done and keep her lit
