I'm Japanese. The car navigation first said to Jeremy, "There is a road regulation ahead. Drive carefully, please."
Thank you!
*HELP!*
Help Ami is back !!!
what do the other people say to them throughout the video?
@@SIRTACONATOR007 you are 8 years late lol
In his defense, those man hole covers are fantastic.
@AstronomyToday Those steel/aluminium ones are for the fresh water lines I think(?). I remember asking but don't remember what the answer was xD
Who cares.
@@zanemurcha2675 over a thousand people apparently
@@rdmz135 i'm laughing my head off
@@zanemurcha2675 Go drive your Jeep Wrangler with plastic windows ZANE...such a jeep driver name with hygiene problems.
Ahh, the only kind of videos where you're fine watching it in 360p...
DerpT145 This was in 2010 keep in mind. U cant be to harsh about that
DerpT145 amen
DerpT145 I never even noticed
Lol
Most of the time my resolution defaults to 360p. I will use 144p if the internet's that slow.
Japan: train arrives early = surprised face
Britain: train arrives on time = surprised face
Latvia: train arrives = surprised face
Zimbabwe: a train = surprised face
An empty train in India= it's not happening
Yeeeeeeees
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣 shame sorry Zim
lmao
* Completely ignores Hammond *
James: What a brilliant looking train
What a brilliant looking manhole
they ignore each other all the time - british manners i guess :D
@@linusdn2777 to be honest it was a cool manhole cover.
It’s like being in a black and white film
Ha! In Romania, a train is considered late if it doesn't arrive the same day as expected!
Noted
Think I get this one
Cat adevar 😂
It aint much better in the UK to be fair lol
Începători Japonezii 😂😂😂
How to ask for directions to the train station in Japanese:
Konichiwa, um station? chuggachuggachugga
Haha
Hahahahahaha made my day hahaha
Lol 😁 😂
chuggachuggachugga
*Nyaaaaaaan*
Why did they cut out Jeremy's petrol pump waifu?
Everybody's gangsta until the SatNav speaks japanese
ARB6769 thats the most unfunny everybodys gangsta joke
Kono dio da
Help meeee!
The americans when trees speak vietnamese: *panik*
Jeremy when the SatNav speaks Japanese: *panik*
KONO DIO DA
SatNav: **Speaking in Japanese**
Jeremy: HELP!
Oh, Jezza. You will be missed.
+RonanElijah That had me dying!
They haven't gone anywhere, they got a new show on Amazon (:
RonanElijah How can he be missed when he has his own show now, The Grand Tour?
Eric Johnston do you not understand everyone can watch BBC but not amazon prime that why he will be missed
not at the time of the comment
James was so inspired by Japan, he decided to make an entire series about it
And Richard was more bothered about the race lol
"Finally I'm out of the tunnel.... SUNLIGHT! It's gone again." XD
Pretty much how life is in Finland during winter.
Company007 Nice profile pic
7:40 thank me later
That's Japan for you
@@atharvavargante6029
Your timestamp is wrong
It's 7:36
Car: *starts speaking in Japanese*
Clarkson: "HELP!!!!!"
One of the funniest moments I've ever seen.
Hey
indeed
Jeremy Clarkson is the only man that can take a wrong turn driving straight on a Japanese highway and end up in Switzerland.
One of my parents is Japanese and she was the first to tell me about the fact that speaking aloud on mobile devices on public transport is seen as very disrespectful and frowned upon in Japan. Being from the UK, I couldn't imagine having the same principles applied to our public transport.
I keep talking when i know people can hear me..
Everything is rude in Japan. Let's be real: It's a society of rules, germophobia, racism, and radical judgement. There's ceremony and ritual for every damn thing and people just go with it. That part at least is commendable. I rather enjoy having the freedom to be gross.
@@orangejjay My favorite part about Japan is war crimes and refusing to take responsibility for those war crimes. Rape of Nanjing and Unit 731 anyone?
yeah the face of that girl at 3:56 said everything :D very silent, cultural , ethic and respectful people they are. but at the same time sad lonely and suicidal just because of that.
Why is it considered rude... what if you have an important call to make
Any time you see "23" or "3923" on a promotional Nissan:
23: Two Three: Nii San aka Nissan
3923: Three Nine Two Three: San Kyu Nii San aka Thank You, Nissan.
That is number plate
That's why all of the Nissan LM cars are number 23
Ahhhhh 😄😄😄
Learned something today
NS
Alp Tigin I bet you saw that initial d ending right? :D
3:10 James May really had an eyegasm there. He has a thing for trains and collects models of them.
Car: *speaks Japanese*
Jeremy *confused screaming"
2 fried eggs. That's not what I want.
tlopesgsd idk why that shit made me laugh so much lol
It all thanks to those two Japanese school girls.
6:12
Machine: How much is it?
Attendance: ¥250
Hammond: ???
Haikal Umar the numbers should be listed on the packaging omfg idiots
2.50
People of the world you have no idea how happy this kept the British male during its existence.
Alex Mallinson trust me as an American who greatly loved the show I know exactly what you are talking about
Kevin Lentz as another American, I second this. So three hilarious Brits left the bbc and have joined the American Amazon. I think both countries appreciate the show greatly.
I am American and not male and I quite liked this show.
As an American, I must ask: do you guys consider these three a national treasure?
yes, actually most of us do.
James and Richard experiencing Japan is one of the best things i have ever watched
7:37 SUNLIGHT!!!
*0.8 seconds later*
it’s gone again.
That part really killed me 😂😂😂😂
(Unpopular opinion) Tangara is the ugliest train in Sydney
0:35 1:50 2:12 3:11
Hammond has such strong "older brother taking care of younger brother" energy i love it
i saw this episode ages ago but after having studied japanese for a number of years (and after having lived there) it's hilarious to watch them struggle with Japanese. The best part was when they were like "The ice-skating man with the picnic table...but that's a man on skis playing a harp next to it" hahaha exactly how I felt when I first started learning Japanese.
As a Japanese, I really enjoyed watching
this.
it is rude to use a telephone in a train in japan
because you break the peace and or quietness in the train
shut up weeb
I'm sorry you had a stroke but could you please stop jIttering, you are disturbing the peace
+Frederik Olsen But they'll let you, if you do it silently and politely, ask for help with a text message. ;)
Cheers
I wish that it's like that here in Canada too. Haha
+Joanna Paula Mabascog damn
The Bill Oddy mask though
this was the first time i laid my eyes on the GTR, since then, it's been my dream car to have...
so did you finally bought 1?
Eh. Each to his own.
tokyo drifting!
It hasn't aged after all these years... Still beautiful.
Im happy with my EM2
2:12 Dont try to match the symbols.. I know you are :D
😂😂😂
1:31 When you hear a new noise coming from your car and it doesn't sound good.
the girl on the bicycle actually knew they are asking for the station😂駅ですね
*駅だって
Nissan say it produces 470bhp and 1 car had 507 - that's quite a difference. I'd expect them to be slightly different, but not almost 40bhp.
As long as it's more bhp it's not bad
Then one car has 200 hp
Yea, but let's not believe everything they say. All AMG engines are hand-built and they publish their bhp. Also, why would the tolerances of a hand-built engine be so huge that bhp varies greatly across cars?
Its like a surprise egg od horsepower from the company
@@taunokekkonen5733 its called under rating it so if you get a bad one it's still above what it's rated no matter what.
Clarkson screaming “HELP!” made my day
'' I like it when there is a sense of emergency in his voice, means something has went wrong '' Clarkson never change please....
1:24 HAHAHA!!!
machine said, warning! lane restriction.
It all thanks to those two Japanese school girls.
they probably had got married and have 2 babies by now
@@naws69 and you are still single.
@@HUGEPoWERFULPooPS yes lol
@@naws69 damn
"Konichiwa. Um, station?"
"chugu-chugishhh chugu-chugishh chugu-chugiisshhh"
I laughed so hard at the scene which Jeremy screamed "HELP!!!" when the nav system announced the traffic jam on the way😂😂
Who’s here after “James May: Our man in japan”
Notice How Richard said “Datsun” instead of “Nissan”
thanks for your humour doc
Oh that pisses me right off.
@@Tallahassee21 nissan was called datsun the first time they came to the states
@@Tallahassee21 nissan was called datsun the first time they came to the states
No I know they were called datsun. It's just the way he says it reminded me of when they had the run to the border episode and he called the lfa a "celica" as to make fun of the car. I had a 1985 celica gt that I loved and it was like he was making fun of my baby.
この先、車線規制があります。注意して走行してください。
HELP!!!!!!
Eric R That part cracked me up.
Eric R I
*cough* weeb *cough*
One of my all time favourite Top Gear moments.
@@asta5907 *cough* Japanese people use the internet too *cough*
This is the first time ever that I know of things like it is rude to use a telephone on the train in Japan. Thank you, Top Gear blokes.
1:28 British soldier met a Japanese Imperial army giving information about her lost soldier
- 1945 Colourized
it honestly must be nice to be on a awesome sports car through the Japanese countryside
Hold on mate there's a man shouting at me
Richards face when he’s caught speaking on the phone on the train is brilliant
Holy crap, how much translation text and voice has improved
The Datsun 😂
2:46 “it’s like being in a black and white film” 😆
‘What a brilliant looking train’ This was when May knew he’d make a show travelling Japan
7:36 "SUNLIGHT...it's gone again"
I was there. 12 years ago..
サンダーバードはカッコ良いよね。
ジェームズ 流石、分かってる！！
I recently watched this with my husband in the US.
We enjoyed this episode a lot :)
Thank you for coming to Japan!
I love how Jeremy was screaming at an altezza to move out of the way
6:40 r.i.p cameraman w all those speeding tickets😂😂
This masterpiece is just never getting old.
I'm watching Top Gear while the neighbors are hoovering. It is already late in the evening. I'm so thankful to be watching this show.
I took a year of Japanese classes(although I've forgotten most of it) and it was pretty easy to pick up. The fact that it is entirely phonetic makes it simpler to remember words and phrases.
Love these three
Year 2021, and I still came back here cuz I miss'em!
Japan = Awesome
Na
Meta Mojo ya
はい
weeb
Imagine how boring the world would be if Japan didn't exist
No hentai, no anime, no GTR, no Honda, no VTEC, no Playstation, no Nintendo, etc.
I've never been to Japan but I really want to go there it looks and sounds really intricate.
I love May's observations.
0:57 “Yeah but that’s a man on skies playing the harp next to it which probably doesn’t mean train station” 😂
Oh how I wish I did something like this when I was in Japan!
I wish we have Japanese efficiency in America for our trains. Free passes and an excuse for our bosses if we are late.
10+ years gone by..... Still in its full glory!
all japanese ca-DING *the gps starts speaking japanese*
HELP!
they'd get suspicious when they see bill oddie driving that…isn't eco-friendly enough
I lost it at the "Bill Oddie" face mask
The episode that got me hooked on top gear
I remember this episode. Nice to se it again
Jeremy's his reaction to the car talking to him is jsut priceless.
Makes me want to go back to Japan. What a beautiful place, with the friendliest people.
I will miss these more than anything.
11 years already ... you guys are the best 😔
Ahahahaah when the car was in what I think was in voice command mode and started speaking Japanese.
"Help!" xD
Oh cool, you saw the video too.
MLGBongHits Oh, wow
Daniel Campos Wot m8?
In Japan, you're not supposed to talk on the phone on the train/subway. Although for those long-distance trains, you can talk in hallway located between the cars where the doors and toilets are.
7:52 Never mind. They fixed their mistake. :)
Still is my fav top gear challenge so far
the races are my favorite bits ngl
Of coarse Tokyo was clear. They of all people would know to get the heck out of the way when Godzilla is coming through.
You Mean E.T's dad.
Lmao
Jared Moore dude the only real godzillas are the r32, r33 and the r34
By Godzilla you mean Jeremy's ego?
Leipä the GTS-R r31 is beastly
James May's reaction to everything fascinating is hilarious.
Richard - I don’t care about the trains
this is amazing!!!!!
Such hopelessness with these three, but some of the people you'll love the most.
Car: *Speaks a language that isn't English*
Jeremy: The car threatened my life
I love how the brits are screwed when nobody speaks their language 🤣
Like when the germans come to Denmark, and don't even have the courtesy to ask if you speak german, before they start talking.
Suddenly, I don't understand german.
Historically, Germans aren’t the most kind in Denmark to be fair
@@Steepo74796 oof
arguably the best piece of automotive engineering of the 21st century. wonderful car
Great! Thank you!
Jeremy Clarkson running in the 90s
Japan looks beautifull. Too bad it's so expensive to go there and, judging by the video, very few people speak English. Otherwise I'd go over there in a heartbeat. China was an amazing country to visit and I've got no doubt Japan is aswell.
Anyone here been in Japan?
Oscar lee thanks for telling. But the countryside seems the most appealing so I might have to learn a bit of Japanese then.
Lennart Yes, I've been to tokyo and visited mount fuji, It was an amazing experience. It isn't as expensive as you would think and it is easy to get around. The japanese are some of the most polite, non aggresive, modern, cool, funny and respectable people I have ever encountered. All hotels I've visited around japan spoke a very good standard on english, and everything from buying drinks to ordering food is automated, japan is a very, very modern country. You select your food outside via a machine or number and they make it for you. And they have vending machines EVERYWHERE. Make sure you visit japan, you will not regret it. Far, far better than china and the chinese westernised people.
EinkOLED thanks for sharing the experience, it got me even more curious about the country. About the food, I know they eat a lot of sea food (or that is just the stereotype view I have of them), but I assume there is plenty of other food aswell? I dont like sea food :')
Lennart
If rather go to Australia I think it looks even more beautiful!
i was exactly like james the first time ive been to japan so i can relate with all his reactions
oh my gosh gran turismo, and playstation game with jeremy clarkson saying it. i'd never thought i'd hear him say that. what a bliss
When Clarkson pulled the mask out when there was a speed camera I wheezed 😂😂😂
Broadbent mentions he got his GTR because of this one...first video I go to watch xD
Best one of all!
What a brilliant looking train
James and Richard trying to communicate was hilarious
Hammond and May could have taken the Nagano Shinkansen to Tokyo, which is a direct route.
It wasn't there in 2010
If they decided to do a rematch, then possibly.
Not sure if you...well....hmm, i dont think thats possible.
@@Lew1s_205 🤫🤫🤫
It’s not fun race to watch if one side clearly will win. The show made them take the longer route for a reason
Comedic gold @ 0:48 - great way to start this epic challenge :)
These guys are so cool
