Itchy Boots reaches Japan on her 1987 Yamaha
Noraly's arrival follows a Busan farewell that has passed a million views, mixing neighborhood history with a street-market stop.

“You will never make it on a Yamaha from 1987” - I REACHED JAPAN 🇯🇵 | S8, EP168
The doubters get a reply right in the title: "You will never make it on a Yamaha from 1987" - I REACHED JAPAN 🇯🇵 | S8, EP168. Noraly's latest upload brings her restored vintage motorcycle to another country, with more than half a million views in its opening 13 hours.
It is the faster-moving of Itchy Boots' two new episodes, while Sunday's "South Korea's success story is starting to crack 🇰🇷 | S8, EP167" has accumulated the larger total. That farewell to Korea takes the journey off the saddle and onto Busan's streets: Gamcheon Culture Village, old tombstones reused in buildings, and an unmanned food store where buying a snack proves less straightforward than browsing one.
The episode also turns toward Noraly's observations about population decline and the pressures surrounding marriage. By the end, she is buying seed-filled hotteok and announcing the ferry crossing to Japan. The video credits motorcycle-gear companies for their support.
The channel's subscriber count was unchanged over the week, and daily viewing is currently well below its usual level. Among nearby travel channels, Simon Wilson is having a busier-than-usual spell, while Kara and Nate are quieter.
For Itchy Boots, the fresh Japan arrival now carries the most momentum. The Korean warrior-monk episode remains another active stop in the archive, just behind the two new installments.
