Hi, Neil, how are u doin??
well, u dont know me, but i used to listening to ur radio show back in….hmmmm i believe it was like 1998, when i was in high school.
I am originaly from Asahikawa, and after high school went to SF bay area California for school, lived there for over 6 years.
Recently came back to Asahikawa again.
Anyways, just thought about ur radio show and tried to look for it, but i guess its been gone!?
so i decided to serch u on the net and thats how i came here….lol
i remember this one episode on ur radio (damn i forgot the name of the show, what was it?? lol sorry!), it was about U2, lots of songs from the album pop and even had a comment from Bono…..i actually recorded it and still have the tape somewhere!! lol
So yeah, i just wanted to say hi and let u know that i was ur big fan and sooo wanted to see u!! lol and i guess i still do!!
well im not sure what u are doing now, are u on any show?? radio? TVs??? but take care, and if i ever personaly hear from u, I’d be so excited!
Hi MBunnie! Thanks for the comment! I am glad you found the blog site and left me a message! I am not doing any radio shows right now, but I hope someday to get back into the radio world! I of course still love music and DJing! right now I am pretty busy working with the snowboarding and photography. I hope you enjoy the blog and check back here often, you can not hear my voice but you can read what I have to say!!!
That is really cool that you still have that radio show! Would like to hear that one my self, I do remember that show with the comment from Bono!
hey Neil, its sooooo nice to hear from u, thank u so much, it means a lot to me!!!
too bad u aint doin no more raido, i liked how u sounded, i can still hear ur voice as i read ur respond lol
Photography sounds good….im no pro by far, but i do like taking pics also, just for fun.
What u be doing for the new year? Do u ever go back home??? Im just curious….
Well, hope to hear from u again soon, and wishing u a very happy new year!!!
Hi Neil,
Just a heads up that there is a HEART Films photo shoot at IWANASHIRO Ski Resort (Near ALTS) Mar 3/4/5…Give TADASHI a call and see if you can come and hang out and shoot some photos!!! ALL the HEART films riders will be there! HAVE FUN!!! http://www.heartfilms.com
neil-
love the work you are doing in Japan! hope to ride there soon.
where in the USA can the DVDs be purchased?
i am interested in all of the car danchi titles as well as EU.
thanks, Jeff
neil whats happenin man? I remember when we were at hakkoda and you mentioned you were working on the TWJ dvd…is that out yet? Which issue is that? Would love to check it out.
Hi Thomas, right after I was at Hakkoda I drove to Fukushima to film for the Trans-World DVD, that issue is on sale right now at book stores. If you want that one you should check quick as the next issue is coming soon. The final issue for this season will be on sale from the 6th of April. We filmed for that one at the Nippon Open also in Fukushima prefecture. I hosted all nine issues this season, looking forward to next season!
Hi Neil. How’s life in Hokkaido? My name is Kenji, living in Seattle and working at Snowboard shop called Snowboard Connection. I have been a big fun of your work since I live in Japan. I moved from Yokohama in 2000 and shredding around NW such as Baker and Hood. I checked out the teaser for “Car Danchi 3″ and showed to my friends works for Lib-tech, K2, and Burton. Some of them have seen the second ones before, so they were super hyped on 3. And we were just talking ” what if we do the Car Danchi Premire in Seattle?” I’m just having the idea of it like doing some Japanese sake special and sush all night at premire or something.
I do event planning and promotion for our shop. I would love to bring your movie here in NW!
How do you think? Do you think this is something you are interested in? Please write me back!
HI Neil,
Got your other Car Danchi releases and am trying to get number 3 without much luck.(Tower don’t ship internationally and Bookweb say unavailable)
Would be able to point me in the direction of a website that can ship me a copy to Australia?
Its no problem if the site is in Japanese as I have some friends that can help me out with that.
Thanks!
Hello, been in japan for a long time myself(24 yrs to be exact) and was wondering are
you the same neil hartmann that owns or runs cheeba cheeba and the earth shop in hokkaido.
I’m very interested in buying some products from you,
thanks,
Jay
I am currently in the process of setting up the UK’s first snow film festival, set to take Place in the city of Brighton this November. I have recently moved to Japan, and am currently living and working in Niseko where over the course of this season i discovered Car danchi and was amazed that i hadn’t heard of them before!! I wondered if you (the Car danchi team) would like to be part of our film festival, i think the style of your movies would be a great contrast to some of the other films we’re lining up, and would love to help introduce Car danchi to the UK audience. If you think this is something you’d be interested in then please do get in touch.
Our website is still in development, but will give you some idea of what we’re looking to do : http://www.snowfilmfest.co.uk

はじめまして^^
CAR DANCHI4観させてもらいました。
映像はもちろん、監督のコメントもよかったデス。
監督のコメントはどんなところでどんな感じで撮影していたのかなど映像だけではわからない部分が
すごく伝わってきてホントよかったです。
車団地だけに自炊しているところや夕食の映像などももっと見れたら嬉しいです。
CAR DANCHI5も楽しみにしています。
これからも頑張ってください!!
