I'm seeing this for the first time now (already commented that I've been following Alexi for 10 years but only just started watching TT in the past month) and man is this a great episode!
Not going to lie, this is the coolest guest you’ve had so far. Not only is a a drifter, and has been living in Japan for so long, but he also had a perspective on the early days of anime that you couldn’t get anywhere else.
the guest fits their podcast perfectly, it's almost like a meant to be. I like pewdiepie and mr beast to be as guest too, but I think this guy fits into their conversation more perfectly. pewdiepie don't watch that many animes,so they can't talk much about it, it would just be a 2 hour introduction of pewdiepie's channel, which most people are already familiar with. And Mr beast is so out of their topics, if they start bringing any person as guest, they will lose their focus on what this channel is about. Basically they need someone who loves anime but also has specialty in certain field. They can even have an episode of mecha collection or engineer dissects the physics of gundam. Or a chef talking about food war while being passionate about cooking. it's about digging deeper into the content that no one dug before, and the RUclips algorithm will do the work.
@@coldbattery What are you talking about? "They will lose their focus on what this channel is about"? That's not what this channel is about. Yes it's obviously anime influenced but they have said time and time again that this is their platform to BS and talk about whatever they wanna talk about. If you haven't noticed half of their episodes so far have nothing to do with anime. Anime is just the one thing they all have in common and love but that doesn't mean they're only going to have anime/ Japan related guests. That would get stale so fast and they even said they want a wide spectrum of guests as well. There is no criteria for the guest to come on this podcast. It's whoever they find interesting and like regardless if they like anime. They have other interests besides anime as well and so do us fans. We're not only fans of the 3 because they make anime content. We like them for their personalities which is why we watch all the podcasts about youtubers, and other topics. If all we wanted was to hear them talk about anime and japan culture we would just watch their channels and if that's all they wanted to talk about then they woulda just made a collab anime channel not a podcast. Just don't get it twisted and think that's what their podcast is about and they will "lose focus" if they steer away from anime. Because that's not the only focus they're going for. As awesome as this guest was it's just as cool if they had a guest like mrbeast or anyone else whos not into anime so they can talk about other topics that relate to them and also see the guests reaction to the culture. In a previous episode Joey specifically said we're not here to only talk about anime, this our platform to BS and talk about whatever we wanna talk about. They're job is anime and Japanese culture, the podcast is a fun project they can let loose with... Don't be that guy.
@@coldbattery That's not why they made this channel wtf? The focus of this podcast is whatever they feel like talking about and whoever they feel like they would like as a guest. Not just anime. If you think they would "lose focus" on what this channel is about then you're a fake fan.
@@tylergriffis5036 But like I have said, what can they talk with mr beast ? All of their videos are highly related to otaku culture, and that genre remains niche for a reason. Do you really believe big RUclipsrs will come to podcast after those hentai episodes ? I know they are trying to talk about random stuff, but after 20 or 24 episodes, it seems like anime is what they are all interested in and familiar with. If they go tangent, do they have the knowledge to back up their statements ? A little example, they laughed at a Japanese guy making reaction video, but turns out that Japanese guy does have the credit. I am not saying they can't talk other topics, I am asking "can" they talk more than anime, but still keep the podcast interesting ?
This is(in my most humble opinion) the best episode.Noriyaro's stories are amazing and engaging.its like when a cool uncle sits you down and tells you that one crazy story.
Hard agree. It's a shame it was taken down for a few weeks and as someone who knows shit about cars abd drifting I was so engaged and couldn't get enough because of the way he narrated everything
same this guy has real experience in japan and a lot of good stories. the only episode where i actually sat and watched the whole thing. i want them to make a revenge drift episode with him.
Me who is watching Noriyaro for a long time: "He is not into Anime, so i wonder how it will go." Me after few minutes : "Holy sh*t, he is master of oldschool weebs."
I thought it was obvious on his itasha video where he gave vague descriptions on some questionable itashas that had characters from eroges.. which a casual weeb wouldn't know a lot about... lol
I'm real sad the two-week downtime on this video tanked its views, because Alexi is one of the best guests for the show and this entire episode was an absolute banger. So, commenting for the algorithm
trash taste: an anime podcast that doesn't talk about anime even when there's no guest also trash taste: brings in car drifting youtuber and finally talks about anime
I wrote for Hyper Magazine from issue #1 to about #24 and it was super awesome to hear someone talk about the magazine to an audience of 1M. Thanks for name dropping Hyper!
Jesus this guy is knowledgeable, well spoken and spontaneous enough to respond to whereever the conversation goes, even when its down an odd path. Dudes legit great at podcasting.
Due to this episode having some sort of issue with an ad/sponsor, they had this episode privatized right after release for WEEKS until they could resolve it, which definitely effected its views. It was a shame it happened with a guest episode too, because it was a great one and very memorable, so I am very happy it finally reached 1 million and more people are watching/enjoying this! Hopefully they'll have Alexi on again sometime
This is an amazing episode. Noriyaro is so articulate and engaging. Love his old school anime days tales. I too printed out translated scripts to read manga. Hahaha. Definitely top 10 fave guests. Did not know much about drifting culture but am definitely following his youtube channel now!
Ikr, had so much fun listening to him cuz generally i only listen to the podcast for an hour at most everyday but with this one i finished it and was like "wait, that it?" Not saying other guests were boring or anything but he was definitely the most pleasing to hear to.
Such a shame this episode was down for so long 'cause it didn't get the views it deserves. Alexi is such an interesting and refreshing guest to the show. I'm really looking foward to more collabs with him!
@@henrik1743 I believe it was something with the sponsor... Can't remember exactly which one it was, but if i remember correctly it was something about Re:Zero on a mobile game (I remember Garnt wearing a wig haha)
No wonder the views are low. I started this when it came out, loved it, then it dissappeared and only now Im back cause I forgot it while it was removed
Me: "I guess this guest is not so much into anime but just came as a consequence of the drifting episode" Noriyaro: "I watched Evangelion raw while separately reading the script" Me: 😳
The amount of knowledge and the sheer passion this guy has makes this episode so encapsulating from the very start. This is my 2nd watch through of TT and I can say that this is one of the Best guest episodes, on par with the likes of Daidus and Emily.
Its not really cool to mock someone's phobia's though Oc the guys were just joking here so it's cool, but just for people who might take it too far, phobia's are just as legitimate a mental health issue than depression or anything else.
It's been two years and I've listened to this episode 4 times on Spotify and watched two times. Alexi is so chill and has a totally different experience just from being older than the guys.
Grant's reaction to when noriyaro mentioned his wife reading the sticker was spot on... thats the look of a concerned homie scared his boy bout to get clapped by his woman
@@weeksweeks9552 if I look at him long enough, he can start to look 40, but at first glance, he just doesn't to me. Also I guess it depends on where you are from. Alot of ppl I know in the US don't look like this at 40 lol not even being mean XD
Hell, this year we didn't even need to wait for Winter. We had such a huge spike in illegal Street Racing and Unauthorized Car meets in Toronto this year.
@@harjotgill6162 Its like a cleaner and smaller New York with an equally expensive cost of living and equally uncomfortable rude individuals. Anyone who visits Toronto will quickly dismiss any stereotypes they have about all Canadians being polite and nice individuals :p. Still, there are more than enough good people to outweigh the bad ones and I wouldn't trade living lakeside for anything in the immediate future. Been to Vancouver a few times and I love the ambiance of the city, but Goddamn if it isn't expensive as hell to live in.
Man thank god noriyaro kept all those pictures and notes he's taken over the years. I'm very happy he was kind enough to share his amazing journey with you guys, and with us as well. Legendary guy for sure.
I have been an aunt since birth; my oldest nephew/niece has married twice and has a son in elementary school while I'm finishing my first uni degree. Noriyori can deffo be the cool uncle
1:37:00 Big shout out to SBS, I also watched the Eva series on SBS back then. I was 17 just getting into anime in Melbourne. That year SBS also showed the Ghost in The Shell movie and Akira. They kept on doing it too, with the original Blood the last Vampire, Vampire Hunter D, Ninja Scroll, Patlabor, and Voices of a Distant Star. I was from a poor family growing up so we didn't have a VCR, so SBS on a Friday and Saturday night, as well as cheez tv in the morning (Dragon Ball, Salior moon). Then again before I knew what anime was in the 80's ABC used to play episodes of the original Astro Boy in the arvo.

this is arguably one of the most interesting episodes of the pod cast. I m not into cars and 1000% not into drifting so the title kinda turned me off when it first came out but this gentleman was so f-ing interesting to listen to. Hope he ll be back soon.
When noriyaro started talking about how he got to japan, and got to the lart where he was working for making car magazines, my head instantly went to that 2007 japan vlog he uploaded several months ago, some raw footage from that trip. Quite interesting.
@@m-wan2547 True, you won't really mind the gacha machine ...until you like a significant amount of cash in it. And then you have to pull out your 'sumimasen' card and let the staff win it for you.
I don't know why I avoided this episode but I'm glad I finally watched. Hearing Noriyaro talk makes me nostalgic for a time and a place I've never known, and it's such a satisfying feeling.
When it was a much younger man, we used to take the military vehicles we were licensed on and learn how to drift. It used to be part of our training plan... I am sad to say they no longer teach that...but I can say I drafted a tank.
Alexis sounds so much fun to talk and be around to. I really hope to be like him when I'll be in my 40s, 50s and so on: not losing my passion for the things that I like, and still be able to, at times, sound like I used to when I was a kid, or when I was around the beginning of my 20s, when talking about them.

See, this is why I love this podcast. It's basically a variety talk show that generally revolves around Japanese and otaku culture. The boys are always talking about something fresh.
i was thinking the same thing, the whole episode i was hoping he'd show up and at the end i commented saying they should meet up with him, luckily alexi saw the video and took initiative.
I revisited this episode while building a model kit cuz I vaguely remembered loving this episode. It just seems to be a coincidence that I happened to be building EVA 01 (RG) and applying stickers to it lol
This guy is legit one of the most entertaining guests you ever had on your podcast, he is so chill with the way he speaks I had to go watch his channel to see what he is doing there
You totally should!All of his contents are entertaining and elightening,plus he has a lot of connections with Japanese drifters,from the underground to the professional ones Oh,and you should check D1GP English streams as well,as he's both mod and commentator on these streams
I've watched every episode at least twice and this is probably my favorite episode still. I don't know anything about drifting and I've never watched/read Initial D but Noriyaro was so relatable. He meshed in very well with the boys. He is definitely one of us xD I hope to see him return
I never knew this crossover happened. I've loved Alexi ever since I got into Japanese cars. He has consistently pumped out the best car content on RUclips for so long.
![Eminem - Fuel (feat. JID) [Official Lyric Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/t5H_CewqpKA/mqdefault.jpg)
Thoroughly enjoyed being on this episode. The boys were ultra-welcoming and it was fun to talk about my old lifestyle again. Thanks for having me on!

Im also subbed to your channel alexi. It was great to hear your perspectives. Thank you!!
Please take them kei car PVC drifting, that would be so fun to watch and easier for beginners :)
seeing this pop up was a very confusing yet welcome surprise, finally the backstory to all your forbidden knowledge in the itasha videos...

Not every Garnt episode has a guest, but every guest is on a Garnt episode.

Same! So glad I’m not the only one revisiting here
I'm seeing this for the first time now (already commented that I've been following Alexi for 10 years but only just started watching TT in the past month) and man is this a great episode!
Wishing for a new Alexi episode everyday

I loved this episode he reminds me so much of my dad from drifting to old anime vhs tapes shared around between friends.
the man is oldschool, but at the same time he doesn't feel like an old guy at all
Noriyaro is like that sensei who sees the hidden potential of his pupils Joey, Garnt, and Connor.

Until the ends of time

So sick how Noriyaro still has his Akira tee. It's worth over $1000 today
not gonna lie this one of my favorites episodes so far from oldest to latest, would love to see him again as a guest
"akibahara is electric town old days"
i learn that from steins gate
We may not learn Japanese from anime, but we can learn minor details in history that may/may not be true from anime
Oh yeah... That's where I saw that before...
Wow , so Ferris actually exists in the history
@@newbie4789 Its my arch nemesis, slightly darker red profile picture.
I’m not even that into cars, but damn this is one of the best episodes yet
He got me back into cats. Goddamnit
@@sutibum I'm more of a dog person tbh
@@oliverhervey6187 yeah same
@@sutibum The quality of cats nowadays has gone down though
This is an amazing episode. Noriyaro is so articulate and engaging. Love his old school anime days tales. I too printed out translated scripts to read manga. Hahaha. Definitely top 10 fave guests. Did not know much about drifting culture but am definitely following his youtube channel now!
Noriyaro's my favorite guest no doubt. His stories were so engaging and interesting it's such a breath of fresh air. Not to mention a proud weeb too.
@Matt Horkan doesn't mean she's as interesting as noriyaro
@@lechehehe totally the best guest episode so far
@Matt Horkan what we mean here is that Noriyaro brought so much to the table that it even beats a live 2-d girl
Ikr, had so much fun listening to him cuz generally i only listen to the podcast for an hour at most everyday but with this one i finished it and was like "wait, that it?" Not saying other guests were boring or anything but he was definitely the most pleasing to hear to.
Yeah, he's really great at talking and telling stories.
I was wondering why the patreon list was so long.
Then I realized we had the hentai episode...
Lmao
i definetely didnt get a patreon subscription just for the hentai episode sequel
Such a shame this episode was down for so long 'cause it didn't get the views it deserves. Alexi is such an interesting and refreshing guest to the show. I'm really looking foward to more collabs with him!
Why was it down?
@@henrik1743 I believe it was something with the sponsor... Can't remember exactly which one it was, but if i remember correctly it was something about Re:Zero on a mobile game (I remember Garnt wearing a wig haha)
No wonder the views are low. I started this when it came out, loved it, then it dissappeared and only now Im back cause I forgot it while it was removed
Me: "I guess this guest is not so much into anime but just came as a consequence of the drifting episode"
Noriyaro: "I watched Evangelion raw while separately reading the script"
Me: 😳
You can't be anymore dedicated than that :/
Hell yea right. That's hardcore
This is Trash Taste Drift Special: Epilogue.
Drift King:After Story
Id love for Noriyaro to do another episode on trash taste, his stories are awesome
2020 keeps getting worse and worse but damn this podcast is getting better and better
this is the only reason why 2020 isn't the worst
This is the only thing that keeps me sane
Yes sir
i thought this would be cringe as hell but i gave it a chance and i was like "actually, not bad" and now i watch it every week
besides the hentai episode that was cringe as hell
I can’t believe that Trash Taste has been going for six months now
It'll probably go on for six decades. Just imagine 3 50 year old weebs talking about the good old days. *chefs kiss*
Holy shit. 6months!
Da fuck? FOR REAL?!
@@prajwalkrishnabhat5539 6 decades, 50 year old weebs. the math doesn’t seem to add up
It feels like 6 weeks-
The amount of knowledge and the sheer passion this guy has makes this episode so encapsulating from the very start.
This is my 2nd watch through of TT and I can say that this is one of the Best guest episodes, on par with the likes of Daidus and Emily.
I wonder if Noriyaro had a sticker he was gonna give them until Connor went monkeybrain so Alexi just hid it in his pocket.
lmfao
Him being a drifter I bet he had a ton of them at the ready in his van.
NORIYARO! man I did not expect Alexi to be on trash taste. This will be good.
It had to happen after the drift episode.
Been 2 years but this one is still my favorite episode, hope Alexi gets invited to the new studio
same.
Same
Can’t believe Connor would just outright tell the world his irrational fear of stickers lmaoooo
The boys' therapy session hasn't really ended
Connor anxiety is Stickers 😂
Its not really cool to mock someone's phobia's though
Oc the guys were just joking here so it's cool, but just for people who might take it too far, phobia's are just as legitimate a mental health issue than depression or anything else.
Echoes act 2!
I don't like stickers either in the same way. I seem to share many traits with Connor.
Im glad Rem, Emilia and Beatrice promoted Grand Summoners on behalf of Trash Taste. So nice of them!
That.. Wasn't Emilia..
@@raygardner5721 uh oh.
"Rem, she's a whack
She don't deserve the clout
Oh wait, who was I talking about?!"
-some youtuber
Rem?
It's been two years and I've listened to this episode 4 times on Spotify and watched two times. Alexi is so chill and has a totally different experience just from being older than the guys.
"I wanted to hide my power level"
The best closet weeb line I have ever heard.
It's a pretty common phrase
@@S.A.O.D.A well it's pretty common on 4chan at least
This is their guest I've related to the most. "I hate isekai" sealed it.
Hey some isekai are decent! And of course by "some", I mean like ~3% of them
Grant's reaction to when noriyaro mentioned his wife reading the sticker was spot on... thats the look of a concerned homie scared his boy bout to get clapped by his woman
And then you remember Garnt is married to the Queen of Degeneracy.
Yo He's 40!? This guy is doing well! Looks 30!
I think he looks 40, late 30s maybe if from far
@@weeksweeks9552 if I look at him long enough, he can start to look 40, but at first glance, he just doesn't to me. Also I guess it depends on where you are from. Alot of ppl I know in the US don't look like this at 40 lol not even being mean XD
Black don't crack
try living or moving in Japan you'll be 20 years younger !!! xDDD
@@tavisui4779 that's my goal lol
The boys: How do you even get into drifting?
Canadians with a rwd or awd car: winter just kinda happens
Go down the street late at night and skid on black ice... Terrifying stuff.
Oh shoot I might've just crashed!
Hehehe but it's kinds fun so let's do it again
Hell, this year we didn't even need to wait for Winter. We had such a huge spike in illegal Street Racing and Unauthorized Car meets in Toronto this year.
@@harjotgill6162 Its like a cleaner and smaller New York with an equally expensive cost of living and equally uncomfortable rude individuals. Anyone who visits Toronto will quickly dismiss any stereotypes they have about all Canadians being polite and nice individuals :p. Still, there are more than enough good people to outweigh the bad ones and I wouldn't trade living lakeside for anything in the immediate future. Been to Vancouver a few times and I love the ambiance of the city, but Goddamn if it isn't expensive as hell to live in.
Man thank god noriyaro kept all those pictures and notes he's taken over the years. I'm very happy he was kind enough to share his amazing journey with you guys, and with us as well. Legendary guy for sure.
Ive never watched Noriyaro before but I have to say i love his talks, every story he told was engaging. What a great guest.
Alt title for video: The boys invite cool uncle to talk about drifting and anime
He's not much older than them....
@SKEJRY • I thinking wtf to your age gap, but then I remembered Josuke and Jotaro. lol
I have been an aunt since birth; my oldest nephew/niece has married twice and has a son in elementary school while I'm finishing my first uni degree.
Noriyori can deffo be the cool uncle
1:37:00 Big shout out to SBS, I also watched the Eva series on SBS back then. I was 17 just getting into anime in Melbourne. That year SBS also showed the Ghost in The Shell movie and Akira. They kept on doing it too, with the original Blood the last Vampire, Vampire Hunter D, Ninja Scroll, Patlabor, and Voices of a Distant Star. I was from a poor family growing up so we didn't have a VCR, so SBS on a Friday and Saturday night, as well as cheez tv in the morning (Dragon Ball, Salior moon). Then again before I knew what anime was in the 80's ABC used to play episodes of the original Astro Boy in the arvo.
Back in the day i watched GiTS straight into fat pizza
I don’t understand what these boys are talking about. Clearly Connor is the number 1 drift RUclipsr
ikr
Cause he got plot armor
For the first half
He the protagonist
Too bad he has anime antagonist syndrome.
The day anyone other than Garnt hosting someone will be the day the world implodes, lol
I'm still be waiting for that a day when theres a guest and either joey or connor but for now I'm going to enjoy the memes
Don’t jinx it
"Ebisu is drift friendly"

He means they'll actually let you do it. Fair points tho
It is, they have the mentally of: "Drift, and if you die, that's a you problem"
No one talking about how his shirt is worth like $1000-$2000?
Wait wut?

Thanks
They need to add captions in the video.
they should pin this
Noriyaro’s talk about his past in Japan is really interesting to listen to.
Noriyaro wore his 2 decade old Akira shirt for the podcast. Hats off to you mate.
worth 2K apparently
this is arguably one of the most interesting episodes of the pod cast. I m not into cars and 1000% not into drifting so the title kinda turned me off when it first came out but this gentleman was so f-ing interesting to listen to. Hope he ll be back soon.
When noriyaro started talking about how he got to japan, and got to the lart where he was working for making car magazines, my head instantly went to that 2007 japan vlog he uploaded several months ago, some raw footage from that trip. Quite interesting.
“Japan’s the one country where you wouldn’t mind a machine eating up your money.”
Gacha machines: Allow me to introduce myself.
But it is you who wants to literally feed money in it
@@m-wan2547 True, you won't really mind the gacha machine
...until you like a significant amount of cash in it. And then you have to pull out your 'sumimasen' card and let the staff win it for you.
@@FahmiZFX ah yes the sumimasen gaijin card
I don't know why I avoided this episode but I'm glad I finally watched. Hearing Noriyaro talk makes me nostalgic for a time and a place I've never known, and it's such a satisfying feeling.
Maylin needs a raise for making them wear those wigs.
A Turtle approved this guest and podcast.
Thank you A Turtle
The Turtle has spoken
Always good to see this has got your seal of approval good sir
Thanks
He’s spoken
I don't think Mudan gets enough credit for his editing, such a cool little detail at 7:25
When it was a much younger man, we used to take the military vehicles we were licensed on and learn how to drift. It used to be part of our training plan... I am sad to say they no longer teach that...but I can say I drafted a tank.
This is definitely the most entertaining guest episode so far! I’d never heard of him before but Alexi is such a legend!
This is still probably my favorite podcast ep. Even 100 episodes in.
This guy is so cool, I wish this podcast was 4 hours long
NORIYAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Edit: Been Watching Joey AND Noriyaro since like 2014. This is FINALLY the crossover episode.
bruh, this dude was so cool. more of him please.
"He found his life purpose going around the corner" lmaoo
To people who have had that feeling, it makes perfect sense. Nailing a corner is bliss
Connor - "What do you mean you only have 3gb a month?"
*Me living in the Philippines running on 100kbps*

100kbps? What do you mean? Pldt and globe doesn't have dl limits (currently at least)
100kb/ps is considered super fast for me

6:25 yup, my 1998 toyota camry is older than me and it's chillin, other than the magical check engine light
I like Noriyaro even more. He was more hardcore than usual fans
"Shougakusei wa saikyou"
Yep, this will be a great episode.
Alexis sounds so much fun to talk and be around to. I really hope to be like him when I'll be in my 40s, 50s and so on: not losing my passion for the things that I like, and still be able to, at times, sound like I used to when I was a kid, or when I was around the beginning of my 20s, when talking about them.

OMG!! Ty
YEEEEEEEES
Searched for this for 12 minutes!!!! F
PARKING
See, this is why I love this podcast. It's basically a variety talk show that generally revolves around Japanese and otaku culture. The boys are always talking about something fresh.
I've rewatched this more than 10 times now, this is hands down one of the best episode.
Noriyaro Is more Og than Garnt and Joey on anime making him the literal Sage on anime
Oldtakuuuus!!!
@@coffeestainedwreck love thar term. Hope to become an oldtaku at some point too
@@nvwest I hope you didn't lose interest in otaku media like he did tho, imagine in 2040 watching seasonal anime with your child or even grand child.
@@veerium that's the dream 🤩🤘🏼
@@veerium I’m 22 now. I hope I’ll be similar to my father who often joined us for disney movies etc
Me watching the drift episode: Why didn't they have Noriyaro with them?
Me now: :D
i was thinking the same thing, the whole episode i was hoping he'd show up and at the end i commented saying they should meet up with him, luckily alexi saw the video and took initiative.
Same haha i'm so happy
Same, i was upset
I revisited this episode while building a model kit cuz I vaguely remembered loving this episode. It just seems to be a coincidence that I happened to be building EVA 01 (RG) and applying stickers to it lol
2 of my favorite things. Anime and Alexi (cars)!!!
same here, wanted to rewatch it
I love how the ad I got before this video said "it's official, the holiday hits different this year"
Such an immersive episode. Alexi has his stories. He even knows those fucking flyjins lmao.
This is by far my favourite episode, you should invite Noriyaro again in the future
Oh man, everything he said about how you got into anime back then is so true to how it was for me, born -82 in Sweden. Such nostalgia!
This guy is legit one of the most entertaining guests you ever had on your podcast, he is so chill with the way he speaks I had to go watch his channel to see what he is doing there
You totally should!All of his contents are entertaining and elightening,plus he has a lot of connections with Japanese drifters,from the underground to the professional ones
Oh,and you should check D1GP English streams as well,as he's both mod and commentator on these streams
I've watched every episode at least twice and this is probably my favorite episode still. I don't know anything about drifting and I've never watched/read Initial D but Noriyaro was so relatable. He meshed in very well with the boys. He is definitely one of us xD I hope to see him return
They basically interviewed a drift weeaboo. I like this guy, and I don't even drift.
"I have not crashed..." he says as I look over at the Beans 86 that's smacked up a hill. Kappa
I never knew this crossover happened. I've loved Alexi ever since I got into Japanese cars. He has consistently pumped out the best car content on RUclips for so long.
“I’m Beatrice”
Had me rolling
I know nothing about drifting, but this was entertaining as hell.
Please do a second episode with Noriyaro
I get the sentiment but unless he has any more drifting / anime experiences, I am not sure it would work.
@@jamesb687
Same this episode is already 2hrs long.
Im pretty sure he has said all or most of what he can say
