Indeed I did - it was very frustrating... I think I addressed them by encoding the vid differently in my follow up vid, "girls, geeks and drifting techniques"
It appears that WMV works a lot better for YouTube HD than AVC... If you know anything about this issue, I'd appreciate any suggestions ;)
i just gotta ask u about the cost of living in Japan and the cost of the travelling part too.I have the dream of living in Japan for a couple of years, is it really expensive and the japanese is to hard to understand?Please reply
Hey there, sorry for the slow reply. For a guide on all the basics of Japan, I can't recommend enough going to this playlist by Tokyocooney:
view_play_list?p=D98FCEFF05959B7A
Check out his cost of living vid in particular, it is spot on. As for the language, it's not hard to speak, it just comes down to if you can handle learning how to speak all over again. Most people who come here get by, so if you want to come, go for it :)
Woah! Hiko this vid hit the spot for me since i am a auto enthusiast myself. I have been to the tokyo auto salon before and it is not open to the public. Were you there working? Are you in the auto industry?
Sorry for the late reply - I think that the first day of the Auto Salon is for businesses (on Friday) but the Saturday and Sunday were fully open to the public for 2000 Yen admission. I'm not in the auto industry and had never been before, but I think I'll be back next year!
It is funny, for the money some people spend on customizing these cars, they could own a house or a Ferrari - a lot of love goes into these cars (and cash!)
Thanks for this video ! isn't it dangerous to be in the road what the hell were those people doing on the road while they are racing it's spooky ! a car could loose it's course! aaaahh
Haha, yes, it was very dangerous,and the commentator on the loudspeakers was shouting at the guy too! Fortunately, the guy was okay, and as dangerous as it looks, the drivers are amazingly skillfull. Glad you liked the vid!
Sorry for the late reply - the car was a "Mugen NSX RR" concept car - if you do a youtube search, you can find other people who took video of it. It was a very cool car!
Dude! My bad, I got invited along at the last minute, but yep, we've gotta cheell sometime - next time I hear about something good like this, I'll let you know :)
i have a silvia at home in the states...but its the american version 240sx..with a front end silvia conversion..excellent for drifting with the rear wheel drive and multi link suspension..very well balanced car
Wow, dude, sounds serious. On a personal level, I actually prefer the 180SX (which I am presuming is the Japan version of the 240SX in the States - it was the 200SX in NZ), but getting the front end conversion to get it authentic shows a guy who is serious about his cars. Respect dude!
haha those Mercedes were out of control. I love the new skylines though. I saw one in Tokyo flanked by two Mercedes S550's while walking past a massage parlor and my friend who lives their said it was a yakuza guys car...so I didnt touch it : )
Mate - the car at the end I have another clip of that I will pop into the follow up vid I am putting together that I'll put up toward the end of the week so look out for that!
Haha, well, I guess it comes down to taste, you can tell with some of the old or more run of the mill cars that are done up that a lot of love (and cash) has gone into them. That music is a part of life in Japan. I worked at a gift shop in NZ and we used it when we wanted customers to leave, so I think of it as the "Get The F*#$ Outta Here" music :)
RoninDave! Yep, the commentators even stopped to shout at the guy to jump clear. Not even in the real estate market, but yet almost bought the farm...
Nrky2 mate! Hehe, glad you liked it and thanks for the nice comment (hehe, you called me "senpai" - love that!).
The music is all creative commons (so completely legal to use) which makes it better - a bit hard to find, but you can check out the tracks searching the artist info on Jamendo.
lol, it was definitely there - it was too much to cover in a whole day. It's on every year with official professional drift competition racing, and every kind of customizing so worth checking out if you are ever in Tokyo in January!
Haha, I'm waiting for the vid to come up in HD - should be any moment now. Hehe, yep, you can understand why I pretty much stayed up all night editing this one ;)
