MAKE SURE TO TURN ON YOUTUBE SUBTITLES!!! ********** MESSAGE TO FANS AND SUBSCRIBERS ********** Hey Drift Hunters, have a seat because I am about to blow your fucking minds with this absurd story. I don't know how else to describe it. This was absolutely surreal. The man me in the video is my new friend whom I met 30 minutes prior, at McDonalds, when he came up to me while I was stuffing my face with French fries. Guys, meet Jun Fujinoki. The name probably doesn't ring a bell, but maybe this does: Takumi Fujiwara. Ofcourse you know about how in Initial D there is the tofu shop in "City S" where Bunta, and later Takumi, does daily deliveries to a hotel up and down Mt. Akina in an AE86 Trueno and a GC8 WRX STi. Well my friend Jun Fujinoki's grandfather, just so happened to own a tofu shop. It was called the Fujinoki Tofu ten and was located in Shibukawa city. My friend Jun was tasked with getting up before the crack of dawn and doing daily tofu deliveries to a hotel up and down Mt. Haruna in his grey GC8 WRX STi. You heard that right. In the mid 90's, a mangaka (comic book artist) named Mr. Shigeno made a research trip to Gunma prefecture to learn about the underground street racing scene that his legendary series Initial D would later be based on. Almost everything in the manga has a parallel in real life. City S = Shibukawa city Mt. Akina = Mt. Haruna Fujiwara Tofu shop = Fujinoki Tofu shop And yes, Takumi Fujiwara = Jun Fujinoki. Holy. Fucking. Shit. Guys, my friend Jun is the real life Takumi. Hope you guys enjoyed this. Things are gonna get crazy from here! So this daily vlog is going to be an experiment. I want to know what you guys think, if you enjoy these long form vlogs with minimal editing. I think the RAWness of it is actually really interesting, so I am excited to receive your feedback. DONT WORRY, the actual documentary episodes are still going to be super super super high quality. These episodes are essentially the true behind-the-scenes of what it takes to make this documentary, and my journey to someday make a movie. ********** GET MY BOOK **************** Get Your FREE Copy Of My E-Book “DRIFT HUNTER ORIGINS" Here: http://bit.ly/2qUe0Nu (note: I’m just using an url-shortener to see how many people click on my site from this video) ********** MESSAGE TO NEW VIEWERS ********** Hey there, If this is your first time on my channel, then I want to thank you for clicking this video and giving my work a chance. I’m Albo and I'm making a documentary series about the real life equivalent of the anime Initial D; real street racing and drifting in and around Gunma, Japan. Here`s the first ep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6DQWXBIHyg&t=86s My goal is to make this the most LEGIT car channel on YouTube and eventually land a series on Netflix! Please check out my other videos and decide if my channel is worth subscribing to. ********** Follow my Instagram! ********** Some of the clips in this video are from my instagram stories, which you can watch daily by following me on instagram at Drifthunteralbo. I post regularly and so I decided to upload them here on Youtube as well for a regular stream of content between the bigger and more in-depth episodes of Drift Hunter and Drift Hunter Nights and sometimes to add to big videos like this. ********** PLEASE VISIT MY PATREON PAGE ********** Guys, I've decided that I'm going to take a more direct and honest approach with you, my viewers. And part of that real talk has to do with something most Youtubers are not that willing to talk about - money. The thing with Youtube ad-revenue is that it's a complete joke, and the only way smaller channels can earn an income worth the time spent making videos is with lots of low quality content, or sponsored content. I dont wanna play that game. I want to make the best videos possible for you, my viewers, but making good videos takes a ton of time, effort and money. Thus, I recently started a Patreon to help with the costs of producing these videos. There's tons of costs like: monthly music licensing subscription costs, Adobe Creative Cloud monthly subscription, web hosting, as well as gas for travelling and the cost of my time (hundreds of hours scripting, shooting, editing). A lot of my fellow YouTuber friends are using Patreon so that their audience can support them directly. I would LOVE to make working on this channel my full-time job, so If you feel that my content is worth it then please have a look at my Patreon page and help me grow Drift Hunter. Let's make awesome vids together: http://www.patreon.com/drifthunter ********** SUPPORT THE CHANNEL, BUY SOME MERCH ********** Another way that you can support my channel by buying some gear one from my online store here: http://www.drifthunter.storenvy.com The quality is quite nice (especially the hats - highly recommended).
