[Larsino2000]

20 year body, 12 year face and 3 years voice :D:D

[MassiveJetGrind]

That would be my favorite year of my favorite model of one of my most favorite makes ever. Subaru Impreza WRX STi or Subaru Impreza WRX. Tough to tell exactly in the light. It's gorgeous though.

[AndhakaEfiel]

I want a Hagane Miku Itasha. That would be AWESOME! \m/

[jpnmusic2]

2005-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI with Hatsune Miku Itasha. Here. Model & Character. NOW GIMMEH DUH CAR >:O

[Blarbling]

If anyone is curious, this is actually a particular car style called "Itasha 痛車" Literally means "Pain car" lol. From what I've seen, they can usually be spotted at anime conventions and sometimes car shows in Japan. I never ask for people to thumb up my comments (because it makes you look like a cunt.) However, it would be nice if you could thumbs this up so people are informed. Godda love hypocrisy, eh?

[WTFCATLOAF]

MMMMMMIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKKUUUUU­UUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheMangaMary]

my car right there XD actually it's ma dreaaam car!

[TheTerminator248]

I think I would also have miku on my car

[iolausuk]

NHK just did a program on this on uk tv . Show was called Imagine-nation.

BTW love this channel .Start at your first video and have made it up to here so far .

Nearly up to date.

Thanks mate :)

[LilNekoMiku]

Brb. Moving to Japan.

[bejeren]

Oh a man  even don't know hatsune makes Japan movie

[AnimeLiam]

I stuck with you because I am a hardcore fan of anime, cars, Japan and TheJapanChannelDcom!! :D

[AnimeLiam]

OMG Miku Hatsune is everywhere!! Every car I get on Forza 3 I search for an anime paint job and what pops up EVERY time?? Miku of course!! I'm not complaining though ^^

[distortish]

MIKU CHAN!!!!!

[kawaiicuteX3]

[KTKristiey]

IT'S HATSUNE MIKU! I LOVE MY MIKU!

初音ミク

[noorchan]

wow , this is dream hahahah XD , i want car like this ...

[CerberusTenshi]

It's called Itasha. Taking a car and put a huge printed foil on it with Anime characters like Hatsune Miku or whatever you like.

The car is a Subaru Impreza WRX STi, if no-one answered that yet. ^^

[MsBleachFan101]

maybe its just a sticker? :O LOL XD

[iMisaProduction]

Just curious, is it legal to do paint jobs on cars in Japan? ^^; Or do they have to get the government's permission to do so? I know in my country, we have to get permission to modify cars.

[1103mix1103]

It is 痛車.

(￣∀￣)

[ManfredW]

nerd mobile

[wolvermonkey]

Waycoolness! Doubleplus good. Thanks.

[Caltac28]

Miku <3

[encomium0525]

痛車(ITA-SHA)

[pqvimana]

I want to do that to my 1988 MR2 lol awesome!!!!!!!

[endryhak]

Всё это очень интересно! Но ! Почему ночная съёмка? Автор кого то боится? Ни хрена не видно, в конце концов! Не ставлю оценку. Давай дневную съёмку! Жду!

[Netaya358]

I want that car

[LilacFu]

Is this car a promo car of MMD or simply an otaku's car?

[minazumi]

ミク- 世界で一番おひめさま! \(^w^)/

[MrFearless84]

That's a subaru impreza sti 2005+ onwards. Veeerrry ... cute.

[stephenrosado]

The specific style of these cars is called "Itasha" meaning roughly "Pain Car/Mobile" The word Itasha is derived from "Itai" meaning "Pain" and "sha" meaning car/vehicle. The word used to be used only for Italian cars, but now it refers to these cars in a Japanese slang form. It is basically just saying that these are painfully ugly. I really like them, and have liked this style for a few years now, but would never do it myself. I can respect others for having the guts to do this. True Otaku.

[Tobster94]

I want it. Even though I'm not going to get a licence or drive, I still want it quite a lot.

[wrxbungle]

Way to ruin a perfectly beautiful JDM STi.

[jbartz]

NICE!

[Nwap00]

That's a pimp car! :D

[SilentDeath901]

That's I nice car. I probably wouldn't go as far as to animize it though. Anyone know the actual term for that? It's not "animize" but it's something specific but I can't remember. Only reason I know of it is because of Danny Choo and what he does to his car lol.

[SilentDeath901]

@SilentDeath901 I meant "a nice car" not "I nice car." Stupid keyboard xD.

[RelVleDy]

@SilentDeath901 You mean pimp out your ride? :P

[norge29]

20-12-3....

[mellowsky47]

Great paint job, I love it.

[lilbondblacky]

nice a car covers with hatsune miku :D

[snozzcumbers]

I'm pretty sure thats a 2006 Subaru Impreza.

[pinkyssj4]

Wow, Japan's cool. You'll never see one of those around my area.

[Thappreluck07]

i wanna do something like that on my subie! you should ask the guy how much money he have to do for the car to get those stickers! the anime i would pick would be GUNDAM (ZEON), or EVANGELION! ^)^

[TheRoamingGnome2]

IT'S MIKU!^^ N by the way ppl, I know Miku isn't really from an anime (although the vocaloids do have their own manga series) but she is a very big icon in the anime community...so I guess saying this is an anime car isn't really misleading all that much. I think ppl would get it either way.

[YiPrincess]

The character Hatsune Miku doesn't belong to any anime nor is she actually related to that. You should change your tittle cause people will misunderstand....

[pepkid]

If i had a choice of a anime on my car it would be BLEACH

[tinkerbellfan234]

vocaloid! not technically anime just aime figure for it :O its the best paint job i seen XD

[Tardisntimbits]

Let this be a lesson to you: always keep a torch with you when you venture out at night.~

[kenshinguy15]

popipopipopipopipopipopipopipo­!!!!!!

[MrSoulLugia]

I want that Car!!!!!!

[chopperboi89]

Subaru WRX STI, WRX being the model name, STI is basically saying it's the "fancy" version of the model. The WRX STI is pretty big with street racers, road track racers, and off-road (Dirt track) racers.

[parrish001]

@chopperboi89

Well I'd consider the STi as the proper version. No insulation or radio, Brembo's, bucket seats, 6 speed... That's how every car should be.

[yikomega1]

Miku Hatsune! and the Subaru should be an STI or WRX..?

[isuckatguitar12]

MIKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DekuDudeOcarina]

All aboard the Miku-mobile! :3

[birddogg62]

Nice;)

[miatageekscott]

You should do one that shows all the cool cars that we don't get here



[reshjuk]

Yeah I know, it costs money to do and it's questionable whether you would get any return on investment in money for it.

[HoshigamiRaiku]

Wow, very cool car!, yay for Miku-chan! >.<

[Naturerocks411]

MIku!!!!

[Capt777harris]

Neat car.

[DudeFlu57]

more cars please!

[ALinkInTime]

@reshjuk Bad choice of words my friend.

[reshjuk]

@ALinkInTime

I agree. Thanks. I didn't mean it like that at all but I removed it any way to be on the safe side.

[dicipline8888]

cant really see anything, too dark

[reshjuk]

Hey, I have an idea how to spread the word about your channel in Japan. Start handing out The Japan Channel business cards for people you feature on your videos. And you could put such cards under the windscreen wiper blades of parked cars you are filming... you know, leave them a note that their car is on TheJapanChannelDcom on YouTube. Is it a good idea? I don't know - maybe someone will get angry about it but I guess most people wouldn't.

[reshjuk]

Thanks for the video. That's interesting - not sure I would want that painting on my car though, I guess that's not my style. I prefer 'clean' paint jobs on my cars.

[nihaojulia]

miku doesn't have the voice of a three year old. LOL. i love her.

[R12Freon]

Hatsune Miku is the best! :D

[psycho0550]

nice impreza! i like anime too but i wouldn't do that to a subaru if it was mine (or to any car to be honest)

[D0OMZDAYZ]

Initial D

[BrokenClocks08]

HATSUNE MIKU

[16thesoldier91]

thats so cool 2 of my fave things together subaru impreza and miku hatsune if only i could meet that person ive seen miku itasha art on super gt too

[FalconFC]

Technically it's not an anime.

It's the Vocaloid Hatsune Miku, a kind of voice synthesis singing software that's made to look like an idol. Just punch in Hastune Miku in the search bar and you'll find hundreds of songs.

[awsomguitarman]

i want hatsune miku on my subaru impreza!!!...except i don't have one...back to playing forza 3 then

[dragonswordcannon]

Those are Vocaloid characters in case anyone was wondering.

[TheSuperGamePuggBros]

There should be a Hatsune Miku car commercial by now! Dealers could be making loads of money on those graphics, selling them to all the geek and nerds! Who would want to see Doraemon on a Honda or Konata on a Toyota!? I wanna drive a car like that to work everyday and park it up front so, people can see how nerdy I am! LOL :3

[onyxreddragon]

its a Subaru STI Imprezza might be a better model than that ( there are several versions in japan)

[CiB12]

Itasha for me a love hate relationship. I'd like to do it...but I love the JDM time attack scene too much. So I'd probably wouldn't do it to my car. It'd cost an arm and a leg for an Itasha painjob. btw here's some more Itasha videos

/watch?v=qG_Msz-rD7c

/watch?v=lRSpQSfsDSM

[genuinebbuck]

Hastsune Miku!

[whoo689]

Anime car?? nice! I'd like one with hot anime girls and perhaps a little fanservice painted on.

[eternalpengel87]

PIMP MY RIDE! XD

[brollicon]

that looks like the car from the fast and the furious 2 movie

[Jrod311]

My dream car!  Subaru Impreza WRX STi.

[WinterAngelx]

The 3 part doesn't apply in the 20-12-3 code this time...

Hatsune Miku isn't an anime character. She's a Vocaloid - a singing synthesizer application.

[MasteroftheOrange]

Miku Subaru!

[Flargenyargen]

No 3 year old voice there. I love the music people make with the vocaloid software.

I'd drive that.

[Degenskonto]

Damn nice paint job. And whats 20-12-3?

[NeoBattousaiGX]

@Degenskonto 20 year old body, 12 year old face, 3 year old voice. 

[Degenskonto]

@NeoBattousaiGX meh

[qu7aker]

@NeoBattousaiGX just the way i like it XD

[EtherSword]

I knew eventually you would upload these anime cars.  I hope to see more of them of more of my favorite characters. Hatsune Miku is just a vocaloid though.

[hotgoatlove]

i am not a anime lover or car guy. Still watched to the end because it is still interesting!

[MrMills01397]

MIKU!!!!

[dignifiedaction]

My brother had that Subaru model some years back.

[dignifiedaction]

@dignifiedaction Same colour too. :)

[AwsomeChloe]

i want that car :) lol xx

[dragade101]

omg.  so pretty. even in the dark.

[gerry1888]

@TheJapanChannelDcom actually hatsune miku isnt from an anime :S

it's a vocaloid (vocal + android) from a program called MMD (or MikuMikuDance) , the creator of thsoe vocaloid did many show with those, and by show i mean REALLY HARDCORE invisible 3d windows to perform the hologram of one of the vocaloid :3

[APTXx4869]

@gerry1888 You say she's from MMD? MMD was made FROM her. I'm sorry but I just want to catch you in the wrong here. She is a vocal synthesizing program. ^-^; I just wanted to make sure you understood this, no disrespect. ^-^; Thank you for pointing out she's not from an anime though! :3 <3

[ErrorEric]

can you do a video on the street racing/drifting scene in tokyo?

[IRZephyrus]

It's Hatsune Miku :D

[JTchinoy]

Reminds me of one I saw in Akiba last summer. YT won't let me post a picture of it though.

[sowlbadguy]

is that an impreza. must sound pretty good

[hakaasha]

A Vocaloid car. /now/ I've seen everything. XD

[TetrisAnimeOtaku]

@hakaasha If you think you've seen everything after seeing this, then you must not have seen much. I love cars with a lot of anime characters on them. I've seen plenty of pics for cars that have a Miku theme. I'd love to see a Flandre Scarlet themed car.

[hakaasha]

@TetrisAnimeOtaku true, i haven't seen much. cars with unusual decorations are rare around here, and i've never looked around online... and a Flandre Scarlet themed car sounds /awesome/

[TetrisAnimeOtaku]

@hakaasha I've never seen one around or looked for them actively (until just a few minutes ago) but when browsing some sites they can pop up, and they are awesome! I also found a Flandre themed car!!! =w=

[hakaasha]

@TetrisAnimeOtaku *_* nice!! I think I'll go do a search myself now XD

[tokyo383]

TheJapanChannelIDcom The anime character on the car is Miku Hatsune. Japanese anime is great

[Achmodethefallen]

thats pretty cool... im actually going to be doing the same to my truck... but its going to be graphics from Priest. (graphic novel).

[joxue3]

i want one

[CelesteRepchukLife]

wow so cool!!

[huntingvuk]

impressive paint job

[SpottedleafCCRVMK]

0:03 HOLY ^^&$^$ THAT'S MIKU HATSUNE!!!!111^&%

..... Holy! O_O

See, I'm such a dedicated fan of Vocaloid that I screamed 'OMFG THAT'S MIKU!11111111116&%^' IRL. But SO loud... O.O

[SytheSlice]

Yup that is a hardcore awsome car. try to find it in the morning pleaaaaaaassseeeeeeee

. :D

[kiepas1990]

At 0:23 You can see the name of character, "Hatsune Miku" that is. She is not related with anime, so I would strongly recommend to change title to "Japanese Vocaloid Mobile", as it fits better and makes no misunderstandings.

[dominicdit]

@kiepas1990 either way she is anime style, it shouldn't matter.

[kiepas1990]

@dominicdit She is anime style, manga style and so on, still she isn't related with them.

[RelVleDy]

@kiepas1990 Hatsune Miku is in the spirit of anime though, so it seems appropriate. Labeling the title with Vocaloid would only confuse those who don't know who she is and probably make the video not as interesting for some viewers to click on.

[waltermh111]

@kiepas1990 Animw juat means animation, and thats what she is.

Especially as hes in japan, he would use it by its accurate form, not the american somewhat narrow view of the word.

[kiepas1990]

@waltermh111 Why everyone who responds to my comment, tries to justify The Silly Old Dude for using word "anime" in the title? Guys that is only SUGGESTION!

She's an animation? Haha, Vocaloid is completely diffrent story, don't mix conceptions up please.

I've got an idea! :D Write in google vocaloid, read a bit, get some knowledge about it, then come back and try to teach me this "accurate form" of use. Oh wait, I wrote vocaloid, not anime, hmm why would I? They are totally the same. NO!

[waltermh111]

@kiepas1990 I know all about vocaloid. I enjoy the genre.

Shes still animated, her videos are animated, she even has a manga.

It can be considered anime.

Vocaloid is the music genre, shes a mascot thats animated.

[xXJacKThOXx]

@waltermh111 Anime is different from Manga. Anime MOVES. Manga doesn't. Anime you watch on TV. Manga you read it.

She's still a singer, sure it's animated, but it's a music video, music video don't count as an "anime". And no, Black Rock Shooter does not count as an anime of vocaloid.

[waltermh111]

@xXJacKThOXx But you would complain the same if we called her a manga character.

They are of the same style. Anime is simply moving Manga. The point stands, shes not vocaloid, shes an animated and manga'd mascot for vocaloid.

Anime is simply anything animated. Thats all it stands for in japan, it literally translates to cartoon.

I dont know what black rock shooter is.

Vocaloid is just the audio, not any video.

[xXJacKThOXx]

@waltermh111 Miku is a singer, but I won't really complain if she's manga character since she DOES have her own manga. If she has her own manga then she is considered a manga character and singer, but not anime because she hasn't been in an anime yet.

Black Rock Shooter is an OVA made from the music video Black Rock Shooter sung by Miku (Although BRN looks like Miku, she is her own character).

[waltermh111]

@xXJacKThOXx She is an animated singer. Thats all that matters, because thats all anime is, its something animated.

Just like a cartoon can be an animated music video.

Its not complicated, I dont get how you fail to acknowledge basic definitions and observable fact.

[kingudamuXD]

i want this so badly, right now- i cant even drive and i want it!!

[micrasupers557]

Yh it's a wrx sti maybe a spec c

[Redneckwolf]

It is a WRX STI.

[TommyTurntables1]

Did that car have a Yellow "Support Our Troops" Ribbon?

[BlackMetalWorld]

@TommyTurntables1 a japanese anime car in japan having an american "support our troops" ribbon?...sounds very likely ;)

[nathanms1]

I'm not a hardcore anime lover or a hardcore car lover but I'm a hardcore Japan Channel watcher and I watched till the end.

[iFukuyama]

That actually isn't anime. It's the mascot for a PC program that reads text and is meant for making music with. You can set pitch and key to simulate singing. That character represents one of the many voices you can choose between. Search for "初音ミク" on YouTube to hear examples.

[thestuffz]

its the Vocaloid band. its completely synthesized voice sound. no actual human singing in it but it sings lol

[TheLifePerfect]

@thestuffz In Japan, autotune is so good the horiable singer isn't even needed to make it work. xD

[katyasha29]

It's Hatsune Miku Subaru from Vocaloid, its a computer software that enables users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody. The charters from this are very popular in Japan and here in the US as well. I know some of my friends cosplay her and her friends

[TheLifePerfect]

I like anime, but... that person who owns this car... they LOOOOOOOVE anime. Shame the stickers aren't on a nicer car, like an Acura or Toyota. (-.-)mV

[NagatoPyon]

I love itasha's! I think If seen the same one when I was in Akihabara! I've got many itasha photo's ^^^^^ They're so awesome (*^o^*)

[hcsurfer26]

That is pretty hardcore... Showing off your passion to the rest of japan....^_^ I would soo do it to my vehicle when I move out there! Ha ha! Awesome vid!

[SakuraAvalonBleac25]

Kool car :)

[Alliancez1]

A Miku subaru impreza!! that guy fekin rocks

[Lejugo]

Hatsune Miku Subaru FTW! I want one!

[Lunastar2005]

IT'S MIKU!! (*0*)

[LogiForce86]

Now all we need to find still is a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO with Luka Megurine on it. =D

Thanks for taking the time to show us this nice car and decals. Nice add for the cars playlist it is.

[Oty3d]

A bet those graphic are not cheep. 

[TAMAGOTCHIxD]

HOHOHO MIKU!

[SuperJonnyMario]

awesome car! :D

[spudracula]

Google "Itasha" thats what these cars are called- it means "pain mobile" as it is supposedly embarrassing to drive around in them. I still want one :)

[SweetCash33]

Thats for kids

[rainydayuk]

Nice! Hatsune Miku subaru- want!! XD

[AgentBO]

Dude, you should spend a day in Akiba Tokyo, I've seen multiple cars like this.

I even got a picture of a Ferrari Enzo being covered with a big anime picture, even the wheel caps are covered in anime :D

[TheLifePerfect]

@AgentBO That's crazy, Ferrari is known to flat out refuse to maintence a car unless everything on it is stock. Even using a third party headlight is enough to get the Ferrari Mafia mad. I'm not joking either, it's crazy how protective they are.

[gothicmuffinofdoom]

lol @ 20-12-3 ^_^

I can't see the car type but the character is Hatsune Miku from Vocaloid.

[malevolenceXXXensues]

@gothicmuffinofdoom it's a subaru wrx for sure

[gothicmuffinofdoom]

@malevolenceXXXensues Thanks for the info ^_^.

[malevolenceXXXensues]

@gothicmuffinofdoom you can here him say that it's a subaru in the beginning

[chrismecking]

cool....like it very much!!

[suiseiseki2007]

oh, it's an itasha, i never thought there'd actually be people who would drive them around.

[m3andchip5]

Miku Car! :D

[MrDeathfrenzy]

hmm the character seems to be Hatsune Miku and the car looks like a Subaru impreza?.. maybe..

[K1kuch1]

Oh yeah, did anyone saw you? I ask that because would be quite scary see a Giant Dude in the dark filming my car! LOL!

[TheAle89515]

@K1kuch1 Yeah don't you ever get suspicious looks when you're filming stuff?

[Alliancez1]

@K1kuch1 i would prefer that to some car/anime fan boy beating off over it in the dark XD

[momisak]

Oh man, I want car like that!!!
