Frank, this post really stuck with me. Sent me down a few rabbitholes. Thank you! Also your insight that you casually dropped about drum and bass also floored me:
"In the same way that the seven seconds of the amen break gradually unfolded into the entire musical sub-genre of drum and bass"
I was struck by one of the top comments on the Rambalac video you linked to: "As someone who cannot walk very well I want to say thank you for giving the sensation of free movement. It may not seem like much but to be able to see the world moving by at a walking pace instead of at a snails pace brings to me a peaceful heart."
There's another one of these types of channels that I love, Ogmios and his "School of Zen Motoring" which tells you everything you need to know about the content of his channel. Here's my favourite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1TxCRHG-vo
I've been watching Rambalac for years. The very first video I saw, I thought, "I'll probably watch this for about ten minutes and get bored," and found myself mesmerized for over an hour. Everything you say her is true - it's the very fact that he keeps himself out of the way that makes it so inviting, makes me feel like I'm wandering the streets of Tokyo, unrushed, absorbing everything.

This was a great read. Thank you so much for pulling all of these thoughts together.
