It was that way in the early 2000's in US as well. Business owners welcomed the cars every week. Cops would come down just to hang out and joke around. It was family friendly. All were friends and helped each other out. I have hope that it will return someday.
@@ohiphotopro sadly the culture hasn't returned. I miss the late 90's and 2000's car scene. It was a time before social media, everybody had super street, modified, and tuner mags.

I definitely appreciate those people who go to the effort to speak English with you. But one of the real strengths of your channel is that you speak Japanese. By speaking with your subjects in their native language and translating for us via closed captions, not only do we gain better insight into the car culture over there but also into the personalities that make up that culture.
I agree, the last thing I expect when watching a video about japanese car culture is for the locals to speak my own language haha. It's nice, but by no means necessary. Translations get a lot more complex ideas transferred successfully imo.
That’s literally exactly what I was thinking when the interview started. Being able to speak the language and truly understand what they are saying and able to translate that back as informative and descriptive is what makes this channel so great.
I mean when you think about it Japan has fallen off the face of the earth in auto manufacturing. Still hanging on to the 90s cars because there hasn't been any good successor models.
So crazy how much i still Love the ek9 and always happy to see them. White tuned Ek9, '70 charger, naked h1 + 70' harley, cr 250 and a xb12 would be my dream garage 😊
Thanks so much for taking us with you, it's so nice to see someone take a chill approach at filming these meets without an overly loud, obnoxious tone in voice, keep it up!
Had the pleasure of meeting Honoka at Amemura. She let me know about a couple of food spots and put me on to a fireworks festival while I was in town. She's a great person.
Japanese are a bunch of brainwashed followers and have no balls since we cut them off after ww2 if that's what u want the US to be go live in japan pussy we are fucked up but at least we are not a bunch of follower pussies like them
When I was younger (I’m 52 now) I had a 2000 model Honda Integra Type-R in red. It was fantastic. I just wish I had a scene like this back then. G’day from Australia. 🇦🇺
Love this content. Before youtube became big I used to read the speedhunters articles about the kanjo and the various PA. So nice that you posts these videos now!
@@v119-h2d The term has evolved but it was never used to describe car culture in Japan but rather it was used to describe tuning Japanese cars in the USA by the domestic car crowd. Historically people have viewed tuning in Japan itself to be more upscale than compared to USA, especially in the Honda scene.
Yes! This is the aspect of Japanese car culture that gets the least exposure and one that has always fascinated me since I first learnt about it's existence.
I'm 6'6". I barely fit in a big FL5, but I have plenty of room in my EK4.😆 If they are going to make them bigger, they should focus on the interior room to go with it. That white CRV that passed by was huge.
CRX's are great for tall guys too. I stand 6'2" and the guy I sold my second CRX Si to stood 6'6". CRX Si seats are about 1.5" lower than 3 dr EF Si seats but they are still great for tall guys
Mr Dino San... thank you so much with this video. Made my day ,so. Just seeing all those Civics , reminds me of those best times of my life , growing up. 95 to early 2000,s . That is how I remember them .from Ef's to Ek's . Up to this day 2024 , it is still my hobby to drive and grow with my Ek. Best car culture, no matter what country u r from . As long as you have a DVD player , news agency shops ( to buy your monthly fix of Japanese car culture. ) you are happy and grounded . And grow up to be a good boy. It's true... I'm living it now. Take care from Melbourne Australia
@@ChristopherMayor-cy9xv similarly I grew up woth the eg being the civic around when I just passed my test and the ek coming soon after. Eg will always be the one that gets my heart because of nostalgia, shame its unlikely I'll ever own one as rare due to rusting out or crashed...there is a red clean as you like almost factory ef running around Cornwall UK driven by an older lady, I bet she doesn't even know what she's got, or has to keep telling people it's mot for sale! 😂
Thank you Dino for releasing such beautiful content......kanjo culture is so very charming for me and this video has got to be one of my favorites!!!!!!
Definitely "Natsukashii" vibes, we used to street race Japanese imports in LA in the late 80s/early 90s, I had a 78 Corolla with a 2TG twin cam head swap and Mikuni dual carbs. Now I drive a stock Sentra with a drop in K&N filter, sigh...
I know some Japanese language, so it's always helpful for me to hear Japanese being spoken in a naturalistic manner and I can spot the slight differences I how it's translated. Many thanks for this Dino.
I definitely remember Daikoku futo, understanding it was a well minute from where you were at in this video. This was 2000- 2004 at my time. Didn't matter where the meets were at. Yokohama had the hydraulics on some throw backs. The VIP cars were on the streets. We had some Y plates but we held our own. Dudes had their vans with all the bass. Semi trucks fully fitted out. Some of the folks were long term base employees. Got to meet so many held down folks from the culture. Wouldn't change it for the world. Blessing that there is still the culture in some spots out there. Keep showing what your showing bro. Some folks won't have the opportunity. At least give them a dream to aspire too. If anybody has a chance, go out there for a minute. Well worth it.
@20:14 The Corrado has a VR6 hood thats for sure. In case you didi not know the VR6 needed more room so they made the bump in the hood go up instead of going down on every other model ^^
Thank you for bringing us these glimpses into car culture in Japan. Does Nagoya have a scene as well? Would be interested to see how it compares to the two major centers of Osaka and Tokyo that it sits between. Cheers.
Seen a few of these video of Osaka but Dino just knows how to produce a good video. And to have luck on his side for a good turn out like that.. makes me want to get in my delsol right now and hits the night life
I remember my Honda Civic -98, one of the most fun cars I've had, and dependable. She brought me through so many harsh situations, she just gave and gave. One day I'll get ome again. Great video!❤
I had goosebumps over the slight pull the EK9 did entering the highway... 😭 As an ex Honda head, I still want to get back but the Honda tax is so hard nowadays. 😂
It may be worth checking out if you can just straight up import it from Japan. JDM tax in the US gets so bad that the cost of importing a clean version from Japan gets close to what you can get in the US that requires a lot of work.
thank you some much for sharing this content with us it means a lot my dream is to go Japan to experience their car culture as well so thanks for giving insight and tips on what to expect in Osaka Japan.
I remember reading articles on speedhunters back in 2010 on my highschool's library computers. You've come a long way and you're still delivering all the goods. Glad to see you're well.
@@dino_dc Just something I came across recently was a motorcycle builder out of Fukuoka Prefecture, Numahonmachi area, called Jblood, or JOB Design. Super cool builds custom work, and even went to sturgis recently. Any chance you might be willing to do a piece on him/his work/the scene down there in Fukuoka?
This channel has fast become my favorite automotive content. Tastefully captured, authentic, and informative. I hope to experience the culture in person on my next visit to Japan! 🤞🏼
The Car scenes of Osaka and Tokyo are vastly different. This video really shows the Osaka madness, I love it. Really good video. SUBSCRIBED and so should you!
While on the drive over to Mt Fuji in the tour bus, I saw a NA2 NSX-R driving off into the distance. It was like a unicorn. Coolest car I saw on the trip, and I even happened to stumble on a meet in the carpark that Dino was filming at
Such a great part of Japan for car culture, The Kansai area is just so chilled and unpretentious. Good to see Honoka braving the English gauntlet. えらい！
Its such a breath of fresh air to see vids like this. Because here in the USA if these were to cruise around they would be called fart cans on ricer looking cars. But there, everyone respects everyone's vehicle because they are works of moving art. They are an actual culture. They are not done to "fit in" with whatever is cool at the time in order to get a higher social standing. The car scene here is so diluted and upside down that I finally called it quits years ago. I completely hold the highest respect for this culture, for their own respect, and their acceptance of all sorts of differences between the same car but different styles. I wish it was like that here. I still mod my car the way -I- like it, the way I want it in order to make -me- happy. But I have yet to give the car scene here another chance due to what I still see here with stupid street take-overs with people drifting in the middle of roads killing other people. Or just being dumb and getting every spot shut down. It's not like it was 15 to 20 yrs ago where people just parked, hung out and chilled like you see in this video. I'm 45 now...and I just don't think that level of respect or comradery will ever return to the scene here. Which is so sad. I finally have my dream car "FK8" and I can only dream of these kinds of meets here. Great video, keep up the fantastic work! BTW also have had a 1987 Prelude, 1989 Prelude, 1989 Accord, 1997 Civic Lx, 2000 Si, and a 2015 Civic Si.
@@dino_dc I really do hope I get to visit there sometime soon. There and Tokyo. They are first on my bucket list. Not just the car scene but everything about their beliefs, culture, lifestyle, food, music, etc is just so intriguing. And such beautiful country and cities.
The selection takes me back man. Glad to see guys probably 10yrs or so younger than me pulling up in the same kinds of cars we had. And they're so cleanly done!
Had to chance to drive my Supra to that first PA you went to while I had it stored in Osaka. Was right after Auto Salon 2023 and it was a Chronicles meet. So cool to see and holds a core memory. A lot of the cars you show here I saw there
What a video! Thank you so much for bring it for us! It even gave me more enthusiasm for my project. I have a Honda Fit first generation, GD3, and I know its isnt a very popular car for customize, but seeing all the variety in this event, it gave me effort to do it. My plan is to do some livery inspired by Spoon Sports Honda Fit. It isnt the fastest car, but I really love to drive it. Thanks for all inspirations you gave me!
I love how Japan car enthusiast culture isn't toxic, just full of people who admire the aesthetic and build of cars.
It was that way in the early 2000's in US as well. Business owners welcomed the cars every week. Cops would come down just to hang out and joke around. It was family friendly. All were friends and helped each other out. I have hope that it will return someday.
I don’t know, that one car with about 10 exhaust pipes looks pretty toxic to me.😅
they turned america ghetto, nothing but dodges doing burnouts and hoodrats.
@@ohiphotopro sadly the culture hasn't returned. I miss the late 90's and 2000's car scene. It was a time before social media, everybody had super street, modified, and tuner mags.

Crazy how just about everyone happens to be a photographer, back then chicks would ask to "model" next to your car. Now they just have an impromtu shoot without asking the owner.

Japanese culture is like that in general.

Polar opposite to UK car shows

He does both on his channell.
The younger are always trying their English, and it's not Japan specific.
agreed!
That’s literally exactly what I was thinking when the interview started. Being able to speak the language and truly understand what they are saying and able to translate that back as informative and descriptive is what makes this channel so great.
You babies 😂
It's like stepping through a time machine back to the 90's. Absolutely magical.
Yeah, I definitely miss those days. At this point, I just cruise aimlessly and jam the beats.
I mean when you think about it Japan has fallen off the face of the earth in auto manufacturing. Still hanging on to the 90s cars because there hasn't been any good successor models.
The paint work on those Civic is simply glorious. So deep.

@@dino_dc What's the name of the camera you're shooting with? It has very good quality on 4K.
she did what? 😮 h1❤❤❤
Her ek9 is stunning ❤ exactly not too much
See how much more civilized Japan's car meets are vs. the US? I love it!! No donuts, burnouts, pops and bangs, cars wrecking, or random fights.
Yeah wonder why that is…
Yeah....I wonder why you dont hear about our meets where Mustangs dont run down spectators?
That's Japanese culture all round, respectful. Loved it there when i visited some years ago.
@@dino_dc I've got a couple guesses lol
Japanese are a bunch of brainwashed followers and have no balls since we cut them off after ww2 if that's what u want the US to be go live in japan pussy we are fucked up but at least we are not a bunch of follower pussies like them
I think the best part of this video is seeing young enthusiasts going all-out. Gives me hope for the future.
Doesn’t it ever!
When I was younger (I’m 52 now) I had a 2000 model Honda Integra Type-R in red. It was fantastic. I just wish I had a scene like this back then.
G’day from Australia. 🇦🇺
Spring chicken mate !
I just bought myself a i20N, last hot hatch before they force us all to drive those soulless electrics
You know car culture is big when the flatbed is ready for lowered cars! I ❤ it!
= Why drive, when you can get a ride.
That's so cool. I really love how relaxed everyone is, and how every different car is appreciated and the work done on each car is respected.
The Osaka Car culture is awesome! Thank you Dino for sharing!!

It’s interesting that graphics and livery is considered “ricer” in the USA but fully embraced in Japan, a place idolized in USA car culture.
Well why do you think it's called a "ricer"? In terms of where it originates from? And not a "hamburger"?

Great cinematography, Honoka is an absolute sweetheart.
Man Osaka looks like it's so much fun! I like the moment where you said "Shall we go?" and her tone like "YEAA" 🤣
Yes! This is the aspect of Japanese car culture that gets the least exposure and one that has always fascinated me since I first learnt about it's existence.
20 minutes into watching this I got a warning for elevated heart rate and stress from my smart watch 😅
>the least exposure
Dude what? Osaka Civic and Loop car culture has been getting exposure for decades..still always nice to see a new vid.
@@doderiolarkisso4038 it's out there if you know what to look for, but no way near as much exposure in popular culture as drift and Wangan content.

@WisconsinEric I can drive a CRX! 🤣 I drove my friend's years ago. I loved it. He couldn't believe that I fit.
@AFTER_MIDNITE I sat in one when I was shredded level fit...😆. I fit like a glove. I couldn't drive it. I fit well in the EF,EG, and DC2 chassis.
Dino you’re the man. Thanks for this little escape to car heaven. Seriously I wanna say thank you man for doing this.
My pleasure!

I'm a big JDM fan and this video is exactly my cup of coffee... I only drive a small 1998 Miata myself.
Looking at the Kanjo Car Culture, sure brings out a lot of the "good old days" feeling. ❤
Couldn't agree more!

The selection takes me back man. Glad to see guys probably 10yrs or so younger than me pulling up in the same kinds of cars we had. And they're so cleanly done!
Hondas are sick when it’s a bunch of tuner buddies all together in a group. 😅
Legendary Japan stuff
This better be a highly viewed video. Perfection thanks.
This made my day! There is nothing like kanjo racer civics. Makes me really happy to see that they are still around.
What an epic video full of emotions! amazing stuff as always
Thank you Dino to bring The Japan car culture for us , love it.
have you ever shared a list of camera gear you use or a video about it sir? this is the exact setup that I need. thanks in advance.
Could do a video about it but honestly it's not the craziest line up of gear, we keep it simple
Had to chance to drive my Supra to that first PA you went to while I had it stored in Osaka. Was right after Auto Salon 2023 and it was a Chronicles meet. So cool to see and holds a core memory. A lot of the cars you show here I saw there
Makes me miss my ef and ek hatches. They really some of the most enjoyable cars to drive.
What a video! Thank you so much for bring it for us!
It even gave me more enthusiasm for my project. I have a Honda Fit first generation, GD3, and I know its isnt a very popular car for customize, but seeing all the variety in this event, it gave me effort to do it. My plan is to do some livery inspired by Spoon Sports Honda Fit. It isnt the fastest car, but I really love to drive it.
Thanks for all inspirations you gave me!
So awesome to see that the EG's are still rock'n!
You deserve way more subs. This is epic
I appreciate that!
I wish I could like this video 100 times. It's everything I love. Dino, your content is the absolute best.
Appreciate that 🙏

古い車でも綺麗に大切にされてると特別輝いてみえます。
