LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Lots of content coming guys! I’ve already edited a bunch of videos and we got a lot coming
We are so back
great work Chris, keep an ear out for these varying audio levels though. Sounds like your section of the video is peaking most of the time :)
Can't wait to see the collab work!
Thanks Chris ❤
@@rinspider lol I think he did something to it cause the video I sent was normal audio levels
So..was this click bate? Feel like i got bated. Good you are not quitting and just re adjusting your content.
Bated masterfully.
Thanks for the heads up
nothing new from albo lol
Not that deep man just enjoy the video rather than trying to create some problem that isnt there
thank you for saving my time fam, appreciated
From one new dad to another: What we do for our babies will never amount to the role and responsibilities of the mother. Don’t beat yourself up over it. There are things about child birth and how it affects women that men will never fully understand. You can only try your best and, trust me, you’ve accomplished a lot more than most dads going thru the same thing. I’m glad that coming to grips with your struggle became a moment of clarity for your path. Best of luck.
Make unedited driving videos using your 360 camera. Your car sounds lovely and looks great every where.
Had a feeling it was tough juggling RUclips/family duties. And yeah twitter can get crazy, glad thats over. Hopefully you pop in every now and then whether it's between months when things settle down and you find time.
started watching you channel when I was 12 and it made me fall in love with jdm cars I am now 16 and just recently got my first car a boosted integra I cant wait to see the new videos you make
Hope you can still post some car meets and stuff every now and then or maybe some irl blogs with the fam glad you are safe and ok ❤ we all love you albo once a month quick car updates would still be awesome
Glad to know that you will continue your RUclips Journey man. See you soon again in Japan! ❤🎉
Thank you, quality videos instead of quantity, is way more important. And also: does this mean we might finally see the Racing Team Midnight documentary? Maybe even an interview with the owner of RISE YOKOHAMA (maybe an old racing team member)? I believe he might appear on this video: ～Mid Night～真夜中のガレージ『RISE YOKOHAMA』 . Might we even be able to see a video about what happened to the shop that created the ABR-Hosoki Fairlady Z S130 (Air Breathing Research HOSOKI ENGINEERING)???
I feel ya. My channel grew by 100K in a month. Which gives me hope of going full-time on RUclips. I know this is just the tip of the iceberg. I have a huge backlog of content I still need to edit and ideas for Patreon etc. but it's so tough doing it on my own. I can't imagine what it'd be like if I had a wife and kid. I'm glad you got your best friend to help you. I'm currently trying to get mine to help me too lol. Stronger together 💪
Albo it's going to be alright you have good people, I'm 56 years old and I still chase my dreams and I'm a father of two boys and a girl all in college getting ready to start their life. Yet I'm still dreaming of my JDM dreams.
amen to you sir, may i have the same passion and spirit, to follow my dreams until i reach them myself, for age is but a number, and family and children are but youthfull inspiration, thank you sir!
I wish I could tell how long I’ve been a subscriber here on YT, but all I know is that it’s been a long time. I remember when you got your 100k plaque, and I remember being a subscriber long before that! Always enjoyed your videos. Thanks for making this update video.. I knew things were busy with family, and that issue with the picture of your car in Akiba caused so much frustration. It’s understandable that you’d need to disappear from YT a little bit. I’m looking forward to what’s ahead though, and I’m rooting for you guys!
Also, random, but the S30Z at 17:07 is totally my style! I have a ‘76 280Z that I will be working on soon. My car was already modified by the previous owner. The L28 was bumped up to 3.1L, triple Mikuni carbs, big brake kit, roll cage, and various other things done, but the car was left unfinished. Someday I’ll have her looking as good as that lovely example you saw at Daikoku!
Your super underrated IMO albo but i think your work is timeless and classic and over time you’ll get the metrics you deserve! Maybe doing more collaborative projects with other channels can bring your channel new subs and eyes. Much respect for putting your wife and child before everything else. Genuinely rooting for you to be able to make this a lucrative career & business that can support your family and allow you to create the content fans like my self have loved since day one! From one mid 30s dude thats had a rough year to another you got this bro! 👊
Ah man sorry to hear that you went through all of that. Well done for redescovering yourself, we all need that once in a while.
Missed your videos man, was happy to see you with Hoonigan.
Your channel is indeed a window into car life in Japan and I love it.
Keep going, maybe one day I see you at Daikoku 👍🏽
I missed you albo! I'm looking forward to watching your videos again. To be honest your the person looked up to and your a role model as well. In which i've learned a lot not only about cars but the appreciation of everything.
I love hearing this. I’ve ALWAYS preferred the “long form” content. Never been a big fan of the “25:00” limitation that it seems like most creators hold themselves to based on the RUclips analytics. I loved the early Drift Hunter videos that felt more like mini documentaries than quick looks into a day in the life. The travel content, the days going out driving, eating, exploring with the homies always captivated me. SOOOO glad to hear you’re not done for good. Can’t wait to see what is to come! Good luck man and ありがとうございましたか 🙏!
Hi Albo! I just finished watching this video on my TV but I felt like I HAD to comment so I’m here on my phone now to type. I have been subbed here for many many years now, since drift hunter and all the initial d real life location videos. For some reason despite being subbed for all this time, youtube hasn’t been recommending me any of your content! I am SO sorry that I haven’t been here to keep up with you and watch you stuff at a time when you needed me most!! I promise I’ll try my best to check in to the channel from time to time to see what I missed! I’ll go check that notification bell now and make sure it’s on “all uploads” 😂😅 I absolutely love everything you share and seeing the amazing cars over there in Japan blows my mind. For example, when you pointed the camera at the Honda Beat and said “I love those little things” it panned past one of the most clean Mazda RX-8’s I’ve ever seen and I had to just pause it for a sec and drool. My first car was an RX-8 so, I have a deeper appreciation for them despite their bad track record for reliability. Also, everything you see here in the state is in horrible condition so it’s very refreshing to see cars that people actually care about and put large amounts of care and effort into! I too am a new father so I definitely understand the struggle for time. I have so many little projects around the house and on cars outside that I need to work on but I just can’t with the baby always crying and needing attention. It’s like you’re weighed down to the inside of the house with him! It’s all good though, every moment spent with your kid is a good one I’m sure you get that haha. Anyways, best of luck on all your adventures man and keep doing the good stuff you do. Excited for what’s to come! Don’t sweat it, we’ll always be here for ya!
I have found you through the Roulettezoku video and been subscribed ever since. But I always felt like the longer more documentary style videos suit you and your channel more. I loved watching the secret touge series like some undercover documentary. Which makes sense I guess because its a perspective we cant really get from over here. I still enjoy watching your journey, building your car little by little, getting married, buying a house all that because the combination of regular life and car enthusiasm is a lifestyle i personally live as well and its really interesting and inspiring seeing it from another persons perspective. Still the excitment of your documentaries is something else. I hope you find time and opportunity to make more of those videos with some vlogs inbetween, maybe to give some updates on whats happening. Best wishes to your and family
Awesome video as always Albo. Albo glad to see your not quitting RUclips your channel and Sammit’s channel are the first to channels that really inspired me to chase the JDM dream and I wanted to thank you for the inspiration can’t wait to see all the awesome content you’ve got coming.
Do what you enjoy and the success will come. Been watching you for years, I got merch from you, and I tell all my friends about your videos. Enthusiasm and motivation will come and go. But when that spark of inspiration comes back, you need to feed that flame and burn brighter than ever!
I feel ya man. I’ve been stuck at 140K range for quite some time and my latest videos just don’t get watched near as much as my old videos. Even though the analytics and average watch time and click through rates are pretty much the same as they’ve always been. The big difference, the number of impressions are down and RUclips doesn’t recommend my videos to viewers. Can be frustrating but at the end of the day just like you realized, you gotta make videos for yourself and not for the algorithm.
Had me in the first half ngl
Ayyye congratulations bro!! But yeah spend time with family and have that work balance. You’re doing the best you can and once you get the hang of it you’ll get far better at it too. Keep up the great content bro! Sending blessings from LA Cali 🤙🏽 looking forward for the next Albo YT release!
You are best japanese car culture youtuber Albo!! and i always i love Japanese cars and also my favourite new japanese car is the Old Honda NSX.
I’ll miss your content man, I hope you come back soon, when the right time comes.
??? he doesnt go away or stoping what ?
Love the content Albo. That vlog kind of goes around in circles though. You'll hover around 498k due to lack of new content surely.
No, just a cash grabber exist scammer
He just commented without watching the video
@@Silverwood085 super facts lol
Last week i was actually checking your vids and saw there was a stop.
The way you make vids for me are like the calm before the storm.
I like how calm you are while expressing and making awesome content.
Keep doing those interviews and inspire others the way how you make your vids are just amazing.
Live your dream!
Dude glad and at the same time sad, watching this video. Glad you have the maturity and foresight to take a huge new step while keeping it similar to past videos, plus while always being honest about your personal stuff, such as your baby. Which BTW is a truly awesome thing, I want to get there myself and seeing you getting into it, is truly inspiring. All the best to ya.
Glad to see you're doing well man. It takes a lot to admit you were struggling, but you come out stronger for it. As a new FL5 owner myself Im always happy to see stuff on the S2K, your incoming FL5, and now your FD2.
Food for thought, have you tried reaching out to dde there planning a world tour or steves pov
I thoroughly enjoyed your videos. Appreciate all the sharing including insights of your family life which I enjoyed too. I can understand how you feel. IMO, it takes a lot of energy creating contents so I encourage you to take a short break if you need to. At the end of the day, the social media landscape is continuously evolving so whatever make sense now may not tomorrow. Have fun and may you find a new sweet spot in your life/work soon!
Thanks for sharing. You are my favorite RUclips. I'm glad to see you're back. If you ever need encouragement, know that your subscribers are here for you. I personally started my own channel and know where you are coming from. It's not easy. I can't wait to see where you go with this ride!
Amazing video, already showing signs of improvement in the perspective shots and clean shots of the cars and the 1 to 1 talk with the fans.
I am more amazed at how you recovered and now pushing as a parent and CEO.
Big W dude, take it easy.
1 step at a time.
Also how often do you come by a Nissan Skyline R31, don't see much clips of em?
Just found your channel, love the storytelling! Keep it up, I'm sticking around :)
Way to go Albo.. happy birthday and Im excited for the new car. Take it easy, we always welcome your new vids. Gambatte !!
Welcome back albo!
I only see your videos on my feed every once in a while, and I love it when I get a moment to watch. But PLEASE get the audio levels equalized/consistent. It's hard on the ears when it's quiet in one clip then loud as heck in the next.
Man I've been following you since Drift Hunters, you let me re-discovered my hidden interest for Japan started after Tokyo Drift. Finally after a lot of savings and dreaming by looking at your videos, the next September I will there for the first time and it will be a solo travel! I'm both scared and excited but you were a big part of this. You encourage people dreaming Japan and to keep that dream alive!
A change on the channel will bring some fresh air, it will be good! Keep Pushing bro! Glad that you and your family are ok ❤
Great to see you back Albo. Long time fan here. You inspire me to hopefully eventually get into car culture myself
Was missing watching my new albo content late at night. Always felt like "home" when I would see you hanging out the boys; going on nightly excursions to daikoku and grabbing food/drink after. Peak comfy content truthfully. Glad to see you coming back! Take your time with it 🙂
Hey man, good to hear you are taking good care of your personal life. I’m also glad you are gonna focus more on your longform content, even tho at times I can’t watch them in one go, i do watch them in stints, but that’s pretty easy because your content is so cohesive and well planned out.
You're the one that got me into the JDM culture/Drift culture, huge thanks for that Albo. I will always watch your video's so please never stop making them
great to see that you are actually continuing youtube, i guess we got ahead of ourselves, both in the comments, and video, glad you gave it a rethink, was gonna miss you and the s2000 on youtube but it is bearable to have even a few videos a year, had been waiting and hoping everything was ok, didnt realize so much was ongoing in your life and dont be too hard on yourself during such challenging times, id think half a year is nothing, and 10 yrs is well spent, you already know that, investing in a drift car for your mid-thirties b-day, niceee, better not be a R35 cause you 35 now even though its a legendary beast i dunno if reinvesting funds in another car is ideals this moment for the company tbh as a friend, but cool to see you following your passion through, because i also honestly always felt it isyour drift hunter, and touge night run series, were what drew many fans into videos of yours on this channel, more than the vlogs and stuff, and also regarding the merch, have a few feedbacks or suggestions, like including your dope hvnterz logo, establishing other unique brand identifiers, so that it really stands out, the option for direct customization and shipping is a great experience, hope to get my hands on some oneday
Super excited for both of you, Albo and Chris! Can’t wait for what’s to come!
This video spoke to me big time. Parenthood is a huge challenge. It tests your mind and body. I tore a disk in my back soon after our second child was born and had the same feeling that I’d never recover. I did but it took a long time and patience. Thanks for sharing the struggle. It reminds me that I’m not the only one. Sending good vibes your way Albo. I hope the FL5 is still coming.
Albo I feel so sorry for what happend to you (injury and the "false" shitstorm in socialmedia), I was not aware of that ! I really love your videos, I am a long time follower and I cannot wait for the next chapter of your channel ! be strong, we are all with you !
Yes I respect your decision in the direction of your content, i've subbed you for many years now and I think your content in regards to JDM and cars is some of the best!!! Keep going and keep flowing!!! Don't let the haters ever bring you down! you have a large fanbase! (more than the town I reside in) You have my full support! Miss your Content Albo! Greetings from Nevada!
I'm glad you were able to figure out an alternative way to fueling your channel. We are here to support and give you views! I can't wait to see more videos with some of my favorites like Sayaka, Echo Gao and Kisa , Nanami T. and many more that are working on their car skills!! ❤
Sorry that you've had to deal with so much in so little time bro. Sometimes we need to take a step back and breathe when things become too overwhelming. I missed your videos during your hiatus. I always look forward to them and have religiously been watching them for more years than I can count. I'm glad you're feeling better and realized things you can do better as a man and a content creator. Being "famous" isn't easy and isnt for everyone. I used to produce music and created a buzz for myself and got to a point where I was making enough money to support some of my bills and put food on the table. But I didn't have a plan and became overwhelmed when what I loved doing turned into a full time job. I lost my motivation and love for it and completely stopped. I haven't done anything music related ever since. Although I do miss it, I realized that I spent so much time in the studio that I missed out on certain points of my kids/families lives. The money I made was never reinvested and I became stagnant. And that's when you realize you have to create balance with everything and remind yourself why you love it. I don't want you to feel like a has been the way I do sometimes. Keep doing the damn thing bro. You got my full support and I know your other subscribers got your back too. Can't wait to see what you got coming in the future. Stay safe and keep that flame lit!
So glad you weren't quieting Albo and congrats on being a first time dad. You reminded me so much of myself actually aside from being a RUclips star among us car enthusiasts. My first sport car was an AP2 S2K too, had so much planned for the build and than had my first child which was my amazing 8yr daughter now. I put my car hobby on the back burner and unfortunately sold my S2K in 2020 which I had it for 6yrs. I'm excited to get back into the car hobby but just waiting on the new S2K which I am super excited about. I'm sure there's a lot of people looking forward to seeing more awesome videos and continue living the JDM life for us. Much love from the USA my friend.
Glad you're feeling better and healed! Sounds like you've made the best decision regarding the Channel and its evolution. Wishing you good luck as you balance your family and your work.
I'm traveling to Japan this summer, so maybe we'll run into you!
I'm rooting for ya man, you have some amazing videos
i just found your channel recently and alot of my friends have too. Looking forward to new content. This channel is super unique to us English viewers who love japans car culture. Your doing amazing work keep it up.
What you bring to the car community means more than you know, you give a window to a world some of us may never get to see and experience. I love your passion and wish you luck on where this is all going, I’m in for the long haul
great to hear you have re focused and you getting back to what you love and will have yer back albo :)
Just keep going kALBO! Love your content! Can't wait for your drifting content with the new car! From 1 of your FILIPINO fans! 👌🏽💯
Wish you two all the best and I will be there on the videos.
Your videos gave me more reasons to go experience Japan for myself (and I did now for 1 month and a half !) so I hope my view and my comment give you guys just a bit of energy to keep being healthy (THAT'S IMPORTANT) and keep loving what you do, I sure like your videos and will keep watching them :)
Have an excellent Sunday !
Yes! All the interview and Japanese car history videos is what attracted me to your channel.
Thank you for this update video! Those tail lights are incredible
1 or 2 videos a month sounds much like the way Noriyaro does things. I still think quitting your job was probably a bad idea, but it's your life. I hope things get easier for ya mate. Wishing you all the best.
Yeah man, id much rather see videos Youre passionate about. That You feel hood about making and rrally shows the creative idea you had in your head.
Look forward to watching the new content. God Bless man
Glad you're sticking around. Would be great to see those blogs you recorded, looks like you had a great time.
I think you put a lot of pressure on yourself when you called this a "job". Glad you have good friends around you to help you out.
Keep your passion bro 💪
Welcome Back, Missed your Video's, Super Glad you didn't give up. I"ve been following you for years, in fact my eldest boy really enjoys watching as well, giving Inspiration to a whole another Generation of JDM Enthusiast's. Keep up the Good work. You should reach out to other youtube creators who do drifting on the weekends, it would be a cool to see a collab with e_ought, koda The yoda tearing it up together at the track.
I haven't even got to the very end of the video yet but I've got a lot to say.
1. Thanks for this video and all you've done so far.
2. Sorry to hear about your struggles. All I can really say to that is that we all got our baggage. Those of us who have been touched by your work have your back. Even when it may not feel like it.
3. Thanks for being candid about some of the economics behind RUclips. I've only barely started my journey and it's refreshing to hear someone be real about the razor thing margins that videos make.
4. Good luck to all you do. I'm actually really interested in the JDM experience. Even though I know some people in Japan, they aren't in the car culture so it would be super cool to be able to get a small taste of that. It's now another thing on my automotive bucket list.
Glad your back bro! We have a lot in common as far as car culture. As I too drive an 2000 S2K. Been watching your vids for awhile. Love when your guys hang out at daikoku. All the JDM cars is awesome. Keep us entertained from this mundane world in which we live in. It's ok if you only show us less vids because raising a family and showing us viewers the car culture of Japan is tough. Take care of yourself and see you on the next one.
Wish you the Best Brotha 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. Do your thing and never give up, you could do it!!! 🥳🥳🥳
I’m very touched watching this video.
Through your videos, I was able to experience the JDM passion, Japan, the culture, the Japanese spirit.
I from in Belgium, my dream is to one day visit the Japan, and speak the language.
Through your videos, I was somehow able to travel.
Thank you for these wonderful years.
I hope we will continue to see your videos, even if they are less frequent.
One must also enjoy their family life 🙏🏻
N’joy the life.
Life of the business and the business man doesn’t be easy, but the experience is really fantastic when the road is hard 😊
I wish you all the love and happiness in the world Albo and also for your family
(Sorry for my English, it’s not my first language)
Mabuhay Albo. Good luck on the new endeavors. I’ll be here to support. Hope to make it to Japan one of these days. I’ll be sure to hit you up.
so happy your hanging in there bro thanks for all the content and effort you put into it.
You’re living the dream man. Nice seeing you at daikoku last year. Keep it up 👍🏼
You're my favorite car tuber bro ! If I ever make it to Japan some day hope I can meet you
Forever watching Albo! From your fans out here in Vancouver 🤙🏾
What is that laser light bar on the wing, I want to get those
Albo i am very glad to see you again doing videos, please do not stop making them, i've been watching you since 2020 and what got me into watching you were your videos about initial d real life story. I wanted to learn more about the story behind how it was created so you videos came in handy, i think those types of videos is the way to go for you so I think you on the right path with the longer videos and rare uploads because i think that way you can bring something exclusive to us viewers and that is why you should eventually succeed. With your passion and good people that you have around you it is just inevitable. Keep on going man let's get to that million subs. 💪
Been with you from the start Albo, do what you've gotta do for you and your Family, we'll still be here!
As a new father too and content creator, I agree it's not easy to balance both worlds. To me the most important thing for me is my family 1st. I'll sacrifice the sleep and any leasure time to edit my vlogs. Keep it up and much respect for sharing this.
Back when (nearly 10yrs ago), I discovered your channel was because of your quality video which was more like a professional documentary style video that almost no one had such style in the youtube car content world. I think those videos like underground drifting / touge, wangan / m.racing club, etc stories were the ones which brought your channel up because of the quality editing and content. Your youtube channel vibe is definitely this style and not the vlogs type of vids which leans more towards to quantity. Dont get me wrong, but it's totally fine to post vlogs vids just to get things rolling. Maybe try to separate between vlogs and quality doc.vids where as for example vlogs can be posted every 1-2 vids per week, while doc.vids every 1 month or so. I know doc.vids are much more work putting into hence its fine to post in in 1-2 or x month intervals. Im glad you're back to YT again. Just go with your own pace and keep loving the things you're doing ❤ 💪
Your videos have definitely inspired me and opened my eyes to JDM culture as well as allow me to live a lifelong dream of having those experiences. It has been a great pleasure and privilege to share those experiences and hope to have many more so keep up the great work you are doing!
I have 2 project cars and they have been in a hiatus since my children were born. Being a parent has been a priority these past 14 years. Time and money which were needed for my hobby were now focused to my wife and kids. I couldnt even think of putting time into anything else...so i totally get where you're coming from.
Now that my kids are older i am getting some time back but this time around i am getting my kids to share my time with me with some of my interests and hobbies.
Sounds like you have a plan....i look forward to more kf your content!
Truly support your decision and raising 3 kids myself, I know what it means about work life balance. You have inspired me to eventually follow my JDM dream and move to Japan when I have enough to retire there.
Do you think you could do a video on the process of getting your Fuji license
Truly missed your content (and screw short form, unless it's photography). I hope I can do a jdm experience, but until that time, I'll settle for your videos once again, and your merch 🫡 also subscribed to Chris now, too 🫡🫡🫡
Gosh, I'm rooting for you Albo on the track & in life. Family first. your struggle reminds me of Alex Clark who is also facing hard times on RUclips.
Hang tough, & maybe a collab could help cross audiences ??
We love you Albo!! Great content as always. Life is a journey with many twists and turns and lot of learning curves to get through. Never give up and keep your head up!❤
Insane how much the channel has grown over the years! Love it!
Good to see an upload from you again Albo! Appreciate your videos a lot, but it should never come at the cost of yourself, so I'm glad you took the time to switch off and take stock. You should do what you need to do to take care of the family, and always pursue the passions on the side. Hopefully you find more happiness and get more time to do the things you love doing.
Love the videos man. You are totally right. You are one of the Canadians view into the Japanese culture. I appreciate you being soo honest with the viewers. It's nice too see and hear. Looking forward to what's next. I have 3 kids and a wife myself, so I totally get it. Cheers
You had me in the first half but by the end you had me feeling so happy for you and your decision to focus on what truly inspires you!!! Been here since 2016
Love your content man! You are the reason why I fell in love with the S2K again. I own one now because of you. Thank you for everything you contribute!!!
I bought myself an S2000 last month, a lot of inspiration from your videos and your car. Looking forward to future content, from UK🇬🇧
im glad life seems to be back on the up for you. being doxxed and essentially witch hunted is terrifying and incredibly sad. all from a misunderstanding as well. it seems like you're back to being mobile so i hope you continue to take care of your health.
i don't know how youtube will work out but based on the info you shared i personally would've went back to the 9-5. and continue the side businesses as a side hustle until they at least can earn 80% of your 9-5. and just take a slower, longer term approach. being a bread winner whose income depends on so many risk factors without deep savings is terrifying. the family comes first, always.
with that said, i commend the courage. here are my 2 cents. i'd start calling the merch, your clothing brand, it sounds better. lean into graphics versus just words. it distinguishes the brand. you want people to be excited by the brand. not one time charity supporters. i wouldn't quit youtube as all these consulting, touring, merch, stems from youtube. it's the hub. those job offers/revenue streams exist because of albo the youtuber. vlogs certainly are tough to grow. it's hard getting new people to care about the individual. instead of centering the video on an experience you had or did, i'd base it on a theme or a thing. videos that appeal to the greater masses e.g. those day in the life videos, touring local businesses or interviewing japanese people's thoughts on western cultures or events. don't be afraid to copy or re-do old videos of others with your flavor. no one is truly original and there's enough eyes in the sea to even worry about duplicates. interviewing interesting people is the greatest hack cause you yourself don't have to be interesting lol. if you got the capital, general consumables like candy, drinks, sauce are a cheat code cause everybody consumes them regularly. clothing tends to sit around and how many creator shirt does one need. drifting is a money sink that i'd be dubious about at this current stage. videos of the learning process could be interesting or matsuri drifting event but man is it expensive lol.
Thanks for being transparent about being a fulltime youtuber. The main reason why I continue to watch your channel is because of how genuine you are in front camera. Bringing it back to your beginning - for you to move to another country and build a living (especially Japan) and to get to where you are now... that's hard work earned from yourself! Keen to see your future videos 🔥🔥
Whered you order that brake light strip for the wing? I hella dig it.
I can totally relate to you and your wife when it comes to a life changing event like having a child. During the 1st year of being Dad my wife and I walked around the house like zombies 24/7 due to exhaustion, caring for our son and maintaining our regular jobs, it became so bad for me that I quit my dream job as a Hotel Manager on a drop of a dime during a executive meeting 😅 because it came crashing down mentally and physically. Like you I felt more sorry for my wife because felt I wasn’t pulling my weight. When you said you quit RUclips for those few days I can really relate because sometimes you just need to step back, gather your thoughts and re-focus on the situation at hand, family does come first and providing a loving and nurturing environment to raise your little one is upmost priority and secondly the health of your own well being needs it own attention but in saying that i was able to regain that strength through my wife and the unity and love that we felt together and for our new found love of our son. This made me realise what I had to do was just to go back to the basics like how you realised that you needed to reignite that creative side of you and not focus on volume but focus more quality content like you have done in the past and yes it will still be a struggle, for me even 6 years down the track Im loving the family life and my career, life will throw in a curve ball here and there but I can look back at it now and say God has a funny way of showing me the path and actually laugh about it with my wife. I really wish you luck with the new found energy and the family moving forward. You still have a big fan here from Australia and for sure will continue to watch your videos. 🇯🇵 🇦🇺 🇵🇭
Thank you thank you thank you
I really hope you continue making videos, sorry to hear about your injury. You shouldn't apologise for spending time with family. Love the S2000; and I hope you get to drive to more Car meets. Peace.^^
Imma binge watch all of your vids they're great from the start
Albo Quit or not well i still wish you all the best, JDM experiences was really good for me since i'm not Japanese, hoping you a full recovery as well, tbh i was srsly waiting for a video update, but no worries, respect your wish! remember to workout carefully try not to push too much, take care and stay safe!
I really love your content and your personality and drive don’t get discouraged keep moving forward
