How our YouTube channel started

We launched the channel in March 2019 as a way to record Aya's motorcycle-riding rehabilitation.

A longtime Harley-Davidson fan, Aya earned both her standard and large motorcycle licenses back-to-back in 2018 and bought a Sportster XL1200L. Not long after delivery, however, a car shot out of a side street without warning; she couldn't avoid the crash, and her left wrist took a lingering injury. The bike came back from the shop repaired — but the nerve to ride again was slower to come back.

That's when Take had an idea: pick up an NC700S — the same model Aya had ridden at riding school — so she could build her confidence back step by step, with the whole journey captured as a video diary along the way.

We had each been through tough years of our own at work, and we wanted a genuine fresh start. "We only get one life — let's enjoy it." "Let's break out of those hard days and fly freely toward the things we love." As those feelings piled up, we decided to share the journey with the world through YouTube.

Thanks to the support of our viewers, we've rediscovered just how much fun riding can be. And we're sure there are countless other joys still waiting for us down the road.

Events

Our flagship annual event is SAVE JAPAN TOURING (SJT), held every October on the Izu Peninsula.

The project started in 2021, when the Izu Peninsula — one of the tourist destinations hit hardest by the pandemic — was in need of support. After a viewer connected to Ocean Park Iroozaki in Minami-Izu asked us to host an event there, we reached out to friends and fellow YouTubers to bring it to life. The first edition was held in October 2022, and we have continued every year since.
