ダブルラリアット (Dabururariatto) is a NicoDou classic. YouTube user rockleetist made an English version and put it up on NicoDou recently. It rocketed up the charts and is the first time I’ve seen so many comments in English on NicoDou.

In any case, if any of my readers are worried about trying to break into NicoNicoDouga, this is a fantastic way to do it.

The best episode yet. BakaDaruku and new member David (Obama???) head out to 高崎 (Takasaki) looking to speak with them about US/Japan relations.

I think I like this episode the best since it really reminds me of the good ol’ YD feel. I mean, talking to チンピラ (chimpira) and 女子高生 (joshi kousei) was all we ever did. However, I don’t think either BakaDaruku nor David were nearly drunk enough.

Fantastic. Check out the new SYD channel!

It isn’t getting nearly as many views as the last one (it’s at something like 1% of the old one), but there is already a MAD someone made:

I love it. Even if our videos got no views, enriching the MAD world makes me happy.

In other news, みすとん made a 海外ズ community!

One interesting this is that originally the title had the word 外人 (gaijin) in the title, and it was later changed to 外国人 (gaikokujin). There is a huge debate over whether or not 外人 is a derogatory term or not, but for now, at least the non-controversial version was used.

佐々Ｂ さん also made a nice comparison video. Also, kyoheiokimuraさん made another MAD! See them after the jump.

The comparison.

MAD #2!

There must be something in the air… Burning rubber?! Luka and DaRC are out at 日光 (Nikko) Circuit interviewing people out for a drift tournament. It’s pretty much 10 minutes of awesome cars. You can watch the second video if you just want to see cars being awesome without the interviews, but I really liked the part where they ask people about what kind of upgrades they’ve done.

Let’s roll!

Don’t forget all the other eps. of Shin Yamato Damacy: Ep. 1, Ep. 2, Ep. 2.5, The Mountain, Ep. 3

It’s here! The new episode of Shin Yamato Damacy has arrived! In this episode, Luka is wandering the streets of Takasaki (Think Ep. 1 or Ep. 3 of YD) asking some awesomely random questions. The results are pretty amazing.

RANDOM!

Japanese Version:

Speaking of Luka, looks like I totally missed the upload of a brand new production of Shin Yamato Damacy! “The Mountain” is a search for gold atop… The Mountain. That’s the name! Really, my guess is that it is filmed on 妙義山 (Myogi-san), which really is the scariest mountain EVAR. Yes, it is also a famous ハシリヤ course, but the hiking is also freaking epic. This is the only mountain I’ve ever climbed that gave me nightmares.

Anyway, there a really awesome tie-in to something else in here, but I won’t ruin it for you. Check it out! There is also a Japanese Dub on both ニコ動 and YouTube.

It is out! Episode 2.5 of Shin Yamato Damacy! Brian and Mariko go out for 刺身 (sashimi) and then カラオケ (karaoke). (Also available on YouTube.)

Go see the first part of this Blind Date episode if you haven’t already.

This episode it a little long, but totally worth it. I remember using pen and paper a lot to when my wife and I first started going out. なつかしい！

Luka’s style really comes out in this video. Luka is way better at letting things happen and filming it. I was more of a gonzo journalist. So I could have never made an episode like this.

Not to mention that sound effect. Whenever I hear that sound effect, I think of Luka. If you don’t know what I’m taking about, go see The Legend of Ultraman or Vanity Project 2.

Excellent episode. I can’t wait to see what’s next for SYD!

Brian doesn’t know much Japanese, and Mariko seems to be refraining from too much English, but its off to a good start as Brian shows himself to be a capable, かっこいい (kakko ii) guy!

From the previews, I see some similarities in this date to me and my wife’s first date. Could this be love?! Can’t wait for the second part! XD

(See also Ep. 1. This episode is also available on YouTube.)
