  • We've all seen Fast & the Furious Tokyo Drift, but even after 8+ years living in Japan, I still had no idea what drifting is really like in Japan, until this day! In this video I followed around Ryota, a professional drift racer, as he competes to qualify for the Kansai All-Stars Drift event and experience it for the first time.
    Thank you Ryota for being amazing.

    Hannah's quotable quotes :
    @2:27 " If you're not crashing , you're not learning"
    @2:56 ". . .some of these cars are held together with duct tape and a dream . . . "
    A well produced and edited short documentary and promotional episode in the world of competitive drifting in Japan.

    That was a mind blow. I follow a lot of Japanese drifters and also Australian drifters living in Japan so seeing a thumbnail like this is nothing unusual. I clicked on it without noticing the title or channel or anything.
    When the voiceover started I was „Funny, sounds like Hannah.“
    Still took me a couple of seconds to realize worlds have collided. 😄

    I think this was about the 4th Japanese drifting video that I've watched purely because I like the creator, but it's the one where I feel I've learned the most and Ryota is also just so likeable and engaging, I want him to do well in this basically silly endeavour!

    Ryota is awesome! I’ve always been so curious about the drifting culture in japan…so envious that you got a ride in the car! I think i would literally be screaming the entire time having the time of my life!

  • @sullyroams
    @sullyroams Рік тому +5

    LOVE THIS! Traveling to Japan for me was based around going to see drifting and doing fun car stuff and I fell in love with so much more that the country has. Spent some time with Ryota too, one of the nicest dudes around! Theres a whole universe of car culture that is unique to japan, would love to see you explore more of it in the way you do!

Also Chris's drone shot "chef's kiss"....10/10 please do more interesting content when you are not traveling to cool places

    皆さんはサーキットでスポーツとしてのドリフトを楽しんでいるから素晴らしいですが、私の地元の横浜大黒ジャンクションには一般道でドリフト走行をする若者が集まって来て、警察と鬼ごっこしています。
    夜の空いた道とは言ってもトレーラーや一般車も利用する道なので危険で怖いです。
