The Party Pad
It’s been 2 yrs since I’ve been back…
2年ぶりに見るこの家…
Yes, this is my Irvine party pad that I left behind to move to Japan. It’s a small 3BDR house I bought in 1999.
はい、初公開です!僕のアメリカの家で〜す。日本に引っ越す為に置いていった物件。1999年に買った3ベッドルーム+2バスの一軒家。
It’s not the biggest or most expensive place in the world…
特に広くもなく、値段も高くないけど…
But as my friends will tell you, we had many a crazy party here.
いろんなパーティーと思い出が残っている場所です。
Ahh, I can’t remember how many times I’ve looked at this clock…
この時計なんか何回見たんだろう〜?
The house is double insulated for almost no noise and I chose all the options for the house and kitchen.
家はダブル防音対策されているため、外からは何も聞こえない!明け方までクラブと同じ音量で音楽ガンガンかけていた(笑)
冬は暖炉も大活躍したな〜
My 50+ inch projection TV is super out of date. I bought it just to watch the 2000 New Years countdown.
2000年の正月カウントダウンを見る為に買った大型テレビ。今見ると画像も悪く、古い…今日本で使ってる俺の52インチ地デジには勝てないね!
We cooked many meals and drank much alcohol here…
ここで数えきれない食事を作ったり、大量のアルコールを飲んだな〜
I wish my kitchen in Japan was this big!
俺の日本のキッチンもこんなに広ければ良いのに!
The backyard has an apple tree, avocado, orange/lemon/lime tree as well as some Japanese plants.
狭い庭にはリンゴの木、アボカドの木、オレンジ/レモン/ライムの木もある。
This used to be in the middle of my living room with the big screen!
Gran Turismo was super fun with this.
元々リビングにあったゲーム用のコックピット。
大画面とBOSE オーディオで遊んだGRAN TURISMOは迫力あったな〜!
Here’s my garage.
ここが車庫。
Usually, my GTR is in this position but for now, it’s my widebody turbo S13.
普段ここには俺のGTRがあるんだけど今日は俺のワイドボディー ターボのS13.
Next to it is my dad’s ‘55 T-bird.
そのとなりには親父の55年T-BIRDがいる。
Here’s our pool area just 3 minutes walking distance.
歩いて3分のとこにあるうちのプール。
It’s nice to come back to a huge pool. All the good pools in Tokyo cost like $100 to get in! WTF!?
2年ぶりに来てびっくり!こんなに広かったっけ!?都内だったら1万円コースだな。ありえない!
Behind here is the jacuzzi…
この裏にはジャグジー…暖かくて最高!
Night time swimming? No problem!
The pool is super warm.
夜のswimmingもバッチリ!水も暖かいしね!
Ahh, I’m gonna miss this all when I go back…
あ〜最高。帰ったらすべてが小さく感じるんだろうな〜


























You still own this house? Or you have completely moved to Japan.
Yeah, I still own it so I crash there when I go to LA. Still have too much junk there… ; )
Sitting in my brothers place, with winter closing in, all I can say is…I’m so jealous!
Such a nice place, and an S13. I sold mine a month back, fuel in the UK is just too damn expensive, and running a Stage 2 turbo setup ain’t cheap, as you’ll know! Plus the weather isn’t exactly old car friendly
Winter’s comin’ to Tokyo and LA too! =( We all gotta hunker down…
It sucks you had to sell your S13 too! Fuel is out of control over where I live too. I used to get real sad about letting my favorite cars go but have come to realize that it gives you a fresh new clean slate for the next car so it’s not all bad I guess! Gotta look forward to the new car!
Too true. I have a Hyundai to run around in now, but the 106bhp 1.6 just doesn’t cut it. It has no character. Back to jap next year with my first ever VTEC (money permitting)
