The Woman Revving Motorcycles like Music in Japan
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Shino Hashimoto is a 21-year-old rider from Tokyo, fighting to prove herself in Japan’s male-dominated motorbike competitions through one of her proudest skills: cutting calls. By using the throttle and clutch of the bikes, she and other riders create modified revving sounds, which are loosely translated to "calls.”
We follow Shino as she prepares for Q-1, a classic competition among racing circuits, to learn more about what's behind the country's unique motorbike culture.

She gives a moment to think about her end goal. I don’t think she ever had a goal, I think she just enjoyed riding.
Maybe it also has something to do with her culture? I could be way off, but her body language suggested she was embarrassed or nervous to say her dream out loud. It clearly meant a lot to her to be supported. It’s hard to voice your dreams out loud, especially if that dream isn’t a socially acceptable one.
Why not both, to the fullest extent. Doing what you love...
Samantha Warren I forgot she was in a competition. I thought that she didn’t have a goal with what she was doing but was just doing it, till she is asked what her goal is she actually thinks about it. She has small goals surely but that moment seemed like he asked a for a life defining goal. But I could be wrong she did tell us she wanted to be #1.
To pause and think b4 you answer such questions is a good thing I belive😸👌🏼
She sucks
3:28 even the CAR has a bike handle to make those sounds lmfao XD...even the japanese bozozoku are creative af XD
Japanese is always creative when it comes to modifying theyre cars and bikes
In India instead of using the engine sound they use the bikes horn and there is competition in every streets.
That's like way easier to pull off
That's even more stupid and it's not even a 'sport' here
@@ubayyd it is not a sport in india either, its just so that they indiscriminately used there horn so much.
No no no, Go back being a microsoft tech support
U can make a fortune in horn repair and replacement in india😅
Why are so many people hating on her? If she likes it let her be I just can’t understand why you’d hate on someone else’s passion or hobby
Cheyenne Lamar I completely agree with you!
42 jade Dude just owning a bike and taking it out for rides brings happiness to alot of people. Just look at the paint job on that beauty, she obviously takes very much prides in it. Stfu and go enjoy your passion and stop worrying about others.
42 jade And every one saying
“Ohh their destroying their engines”
You sound like a hick thats only familiar with old America push rod v8’s.
@42 jade You forgot the part where it gives her life a lot of meaning.
Thank you for saying this Cheyenne. I'm afraid the hating is probably coming from the the same kinds of narrow-minded misogynists who troll women in on-line games. I don't understand the Japanese biker culture and it seems more than a little weird to me, but this woman's passion, creativity, and fierce dedication don't require translation. I'm sharing this video with my daughter to help inspire her in her endeavors.
I wonder if they can do Morse code with this
Im sure its possible
Haha nice thought. 😂
Actually that's a legit idea.
Hahahaha
yes it easy...you dont have to do shit to a bike and you use the same alphabet as Morse code....but what's the point we've got bluetooth coms now so...
I’d hate to live next to one of those bike reviving enthusiasts
🤣😂😂😂🤣😂🤣
Lol
Revival of the bikes!!?
😂😂😁😂
ball keith nice one , I would hate that too bro
This is coming from a stranger, all the way from the east coast of America; I’m proud of her that she’s able to use this sport as a way to motivate herself in life to be better. She placed third this time, but I don’t doubt she’ll make it to first place one day. Awesome, inspiring video, and I’m glad I was able to watch it.
3:29
“YALL NIGGAS THOUGHT I COULDN’T HANG”
that looks like quick carpal tunnel
clolton 🤣
Arm pump
i laughed way too hard at that
I literally tried this with my KTM 990 and my bike is destroyed and my right hand has serious problems now, hats off to these dudes!
Looks like quick rug burn on your pecker too
Let’s forget about the craziness and obscurity of this group and remember one thing that we all have in common as bike riders , getting on a bike and going for a ride helps us escape from our problems and feel free even if for only a few hours.
How the fu.k is this a thing?
Justin Graham right?! I’m gonna do it with a lawn mower.
Japan was a mistake
It happens when your country is tiny and you can only afford a cheap apartment due to land costs. So instead of buying a big house with their pay people use all their extra money on motorcycles, cars, etc.
That's what I said!
Michael Escobar chill out fam. Japanese people are some of the coolest people you will ever meet.
With all the cuts and bruises she has, it looks like life hasn't been easy and kind to her ...
It's so good to see her having fun with her passion, and finally being awarded for her hard work !
Totally well deserved !
Japan has had “Bosozuku” for a long time. I think women have been a part of it since the beginning.
RobertHess thank u someone said it lmao the title is so cringe
Its kinda like red bulls new series Drift Queen.. Some how she already gets the title “Drift Queen” before she even learns how to do a donut. Which is pretty bull shit because theres is and has been many, many, seriously talent female drifters way before it ever caught her interest and they never self titled their selfs as “Queen”
Bosozoku is such an interesting facet of Japan's culture and a necessary reaction filled with an obsession for outlaw imagery of loud pipes and a disregard for order in such a conservative society. This was awesome.
Tombstone Jones yea you’re way overthinking it. There are actual gangs in Japan. I wouldn’t classify this as a disregard for order.
@Caio Coelho you have to get used to the sounds, if your a car/bike enthusiast you wouldnt get annoyed. Some got annoyed and warn them that its loud and they were doing violence to the guy
Rip clutch
Was thinking same thing
Not like a motorcycle clutch is hard or expensive to replace...
On classic bikes maby
She has the clutch disengaged while making calls.
Throttle linkage and carbs as well
In Japan anything is a thing, because when young kids a bored, they look for a hobby to focus on, in America, that focus is just drugs and gangs.
Rolando Crisostomo Totally dude, all of America is like that.
Items actually video games. Mort that get caught up in drugs have some sort of mental or family issues. Such as abuse or depression.
Well thats a contrast nobody asked for
Rolando Crisostomo or games or cars or the fucking military,did you drop out of high school?
@@Saidwhowhen I know right... what a loser to think that shit most of America is law abiding people who blow shit up in there back yard for fun while on drugs after a day college courses are finished.... I mean jeez right wtf is wrong with that guy up there?
Wonder if she can play Darude - Sandstorm...
Renault F1 team : Hold my beer
They played 'God Save the Queen' on an episode of TopGear with Richard Hammond hahaha
I just want to say she's awesome and in a way I admire her and want to be like her ☺ I hope she gets to continue with what she loves
I do not remember his name, but there was a composer, during the age of classical music at peak popularity, and he wrote no notes, and the entire orchestra was the sound of the audience and the natural ambient acoustics of the room. People were furious. But he made a valid point. Others with audio-motion synesthesia may understand what I mean. Everything is music.
Holy crap, she actually got a placement! I was so happy for her I teared up. It’s women like her who are real trailblazers ❤️
asparagusshit as did I my friend as did I. I was so happy to see her hard work pay off either way
asparagus shit
Are you being serious? A trailblazer for revving a motor?
asparagusshit fucking WHAAT!!?????!! Blazing a TRAIL????!!!! To Fuckin WHAT??? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Frank Pickett she was the first woman to compete in an all male Q-1 circuit. While women have always been in Bosozoku culture, I don’t see the crime in celebrating pathways opening for more women joining Q-1 in future due to Shino’s example.
Y’all negativity and rejection of what interests other people is soo lame like damn this is what the people like , regardless how it looks in your eyes they love it
let her rev engine beside your home when you sleep at night then.
Everything is acceptable in today's society. .
The bike culture in Japan is interesting. So vastly different from anything over here, love watching these videos
in fruitbasket, theres a character with a bosozoku background called the crimson butterfly because of the way she used to swerve and ride. with her custom tail light....the butterfly would 'fly' in the night. bosozoku culture is deep in japan's underworld and even today some youngsters are trying to revive it with all their might!
When's the anime coming out?
Go watch Bakuon
@@nasilemak868 Arigato Sensei
ahahahah
K V when the socially awkward get ahold of this video.
Been out since 80s? Called Akira.
I feel like the guy at 11:49 is the final boss of Japanese motorbikes lol
I don't get why everyone thinks this is silly? go watch another video then wtf
Ah it must have been so nerve wracking but she made that happen! Ahhh I'm so happy for her
Maybe the mechanics in japan made this just to get in more business
rishabh pai right!! My pockets would be fat. 😆
Nope, You should fcking hear Bosozoku exhaust sound its shittier than this thing
said the third world country ppl..
to sell more clutches
rishabh pai isnt pataka a thing over there? Could be ruinous to the engine. Same thing really
Wow that's crazy! She worked so hard and she was so humble she didn't think she did as good as she did and at the end se was in the top 3 out of millions of others in her first try!!
It’s kinda annoying how everyone is saying it sounds like shit. Just bc you don’t understand what they’re doing or the technicality of what they’re doing doesn’t mean it’s shot. They all love what they do, which is obviously more complicated than y’all think
I don't speak Japanese, but I know how to speak motorcycle sounds. I feel I'd fit in well with this group.
Just imagine your kid telling you: "When I grow up I wanna be a professional cutting caller!"
i have no interest in bikes and this particular bike culture of revving but i was completely captivated by the story. i was actually chuffed when she got a podium finish! people are awesome with how different each of us are
Peter griffin would be good at this
😂 🤣 😅
Pray they do it!
peter can fart an orchestra... this is nothing for him...
she worked hard and achieved something.... more than most people can say in America
Why I love Japan. . .the freedom to be YOU!!!!!
I was doing this in 1982 and I had no idea it had any sort of a future in any culture . I must've been playing the blues though because I wasn't that frantic . For those that don't understand , it's music
Ehh, it’s actually pretty interesting. It’s for fun. That’s what everyone needs to remember. You may find it dumb, but it’s not harmful and it’s how they have fun so what does it matter?
Lol at the bowing to EVERYONE at the end. At first I thought she was falling but I then realized oh wait, it's Japan lol.
This is the weirdest shit I’ve ever seen🤣 I’m glad she placed though 👍🏾
I am officially done with the internet for the week! Okay, thank you UA-cam, I have seen enough stuff for a while.
Born to be Mild !!
man ... she deserves her own anime
Its always so amazing seeing people with their weird random hobby, looks very fun tho.
Japan is so cool. I cant wait to go. Japanese make me feel normal..
She done very well, good on her.
Boso bikes and cars are among the coolest things you can see in Japan
Someone should wire a modular synth to the throttle would be dope af
Something like this can only exist in Japan.
She looks so badass riding that bike💪❤
I bet she gives a hell of a hand job too
She does look badass.
1001 Helen Of Troy
In her crocs....
You'd look better riding this duuuhck
Bikes and girls are the hottest things in the world to me.
I ride a XSR700.
I so agree when she said when she’s riding she forgets all the bad things. Riding really becomes part of who you are and something you need for your sanity
Where’s their safety gear tho..???
Looks like a vice news tittle
Isn't there who respected and focused on the damn so good this video is??, i mean the artists is so much natural... Like there isn't any camera...
9:38 uhm is no one gonna talk about her helmet...
Funkyappeltj what’s wrong with it
KennTheKidd I think the complaint is largely about the imperial flag of Japan. These same people have no problem with the imperial flags of Western European countries or the US (which colonized the Philippines, Guam, Puerto Rico, etc.). For some reason, Japan gets dumped on (and I’m not saying they shouldn’t be, but spread the PCism all around).
Like her wearing it backwards?
It's on backwards? xD
Is it like rocking the nazi flag? Or imperial German flag?
I don't understand the negativity. She's part of close-knit community, has a hobby, and is good at something. Also what ever you're hobby is I'm sure there's way more people who think it's dumb than people who are in to it.
Anyone else notice that this sounds like shit? Really, it doesn't sound like anything. Just monotony.
Med Otaku yet people in America still think it’s cool or good sounding to rev a car or truck engine
Real & Bitchy haha and that sounds like shit too. Notice how he never mentioned countries your the one racially stereotyping here he just didn’t like the sound😂
agreed
I've been to one of these events at a car show it sounds much better in person then threw a mic
@@SkyJUSTIN6 yes u are correct
One of the weirdest thing I have ever seen, but I love it! I think bikes are ugly as hell, but it doesn´t really matter, I love their enthusiasm!
Imagine using CBR, Ninja, Bmw, Or Ducati to do this sort of stuff, All you heard was a gunfire. Cops be like
Cops : "Shots fired, i repeat shot fired"
To see her strutting her shit in front of everyone was the best thing. Do your thing girl!!!!
I thought extreme frisbee was a stupid sport
Ultimate frisbee is the best sport in the world
Ultimate is sooooo fun.Very under appreciated sport
It is...
I need to go to japan! Seriously!
Don’t mess up my tempo
I love the Japanese car culture, they seriously embrace all forms of the culture while having their own.
In Japan we do fun stuff
@Eric Lee lol
Rosé Ayaka candy
Take me with you!
@@6NU6LL6US nono
Rosé Ayaka candy
Lol, i promise I'll behave😌
@@6NU6LL6US lol ok
I like how some of the bikes are different from what you see in the states. Then there are crazy as fuck bikes. Its cool
_What instrument do you play?_
_Motorcycle!_
_U wut m8?!_
anyone find it odd that the worlds fastest superbikes come from japan but every time we see one of these bike documentaries from japan it looks like they are still stuck in the 1950s.
*Is this a mockumentary?*
It's nice how women give recognition to things no one knew about before, Isn't it...nice?
Review the red car minute 3:30 pliss
Not gonna lie that beat she dropped wold make a great acid trance song
It sounded better when she made the sound with hef own mouth. Otherwise it just sounds like someone who doesn't know how to handle a bike
I think it sounds good or at least better than when people just max rev their bike.
Nah, that sounds like art.
Nein, you dont understand the art of bosozoku. So shut up
Well i dont know why alot of these comments are negative or putting down a country 😓 i just see a girl who loves bikes lol and its cool it wouldnt matter where she is from or gender she's doing what she loves
Has moto in her name, it was meant to be 👌🏽🏍
Honey Dubey they all do
Lol
*meant
Sounds like an angry swarm of bees or wasps dancing around, its an awesome hobby to have!
Absolutely the silliest thing ive seen in awhile
Meant to be silly and fun 👏
She's so inspiring! You could really consider her calls music!
In America, our bikes don't do 'tah tah tah tahh'. Our bikes go VRROOMMMM VRRRRRROOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM
Red zone at 3000rpm diesel style
And made in japan.
wakaka,sound goods: CBR, Hayabusa,Ninja,Bandit, YZF, GSX...
yup...kids around the world does this..its start with motorcycle. some got pregnant, some got killed in accident, some will do the motorcycle thing till they become broke
but to live to the fullest is what they do.
Her boyfriend be like.. baby grab my throttle
KungFuChess Ying yinga yinga yinga ying ying ying ying...
those bike designs are so unique
3:14 look at her arms. Maybe she just wants attention, she isnt happy
i don't know what it is or what the call is , but all i know is, is that people found something that they like to do, And have found others who does as well. And as humans we compete with each other. And as we do that, we create passions and hobby's, just like this young women.
damn squids. no protective riding gear
No gear and wearing slippers
it is gods way of taking out the idiots
Lol who cares, it isn't a law you have to wear gear. I never do, low sided my motard backing it in to a corner. Few cuts, bruises and gravel rash, so be it.
@@RLN13S how about when you fall and get paralyzed from neck down you think its cool ro ride without gear but its only stupid
@@marttiperttila1232 how is wearing leathers going to save me from being paralyzed? 😂😂😂
I just begged people on VICE Japan to caption this video, had no idea it was the same one here, maybe you should let people know because this is SUPER rare and wanted!!
0:04 omg that helmet... sunrise flag = hakenkreuz !!!!!!! The Rising Sun Flag was originally used by feudal warlords in Japan during the Edo period. On May 15, 1870, as a policy of the Meiji government, it was adopted as the war flag of the Imperial Japanese Army, and on October 7, 1889, it was adopted as the naval ensign of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
Matt S q
2:24 i tough she was doing the fast and furious Tokyo song I was like drop the beep but yeah
Bike culture when no one is good at racing
2:17 don't act you no one was freestylin over that hot beat WTF FIRE XD
Sounds like garbage
Akrapovic full exhaust or AR racing is the best music you could ever heard
I dont think you would understand shorty
true
at least they dont do drugs when they get bored
i don't understand the sport or anything that their doing..but i understand passion and hard work..that i think is why this is admirable to me.
These people in japan are killing these bikes, rip clutch. It hurts to watch
Gibbon why? Diamond Dash has a point! I own 2 motorcycles not like the ones in vid but even I know it stressed the bikes out
here in the philipines we have that kind of showdown we call it bomba beats
Here's an entire subculture I've never heard of until a girl decided to participate and now there is an eighteen minute documentary about it - and they say we live in a patriarchy
If I was as stupid as you, I wouldn't go advertising it on the internet.
Hey Robyn, it pays to advertise.
@@DinosawrsAreAwesome can you actually demonstrate how I am being stupid or can you just level accusations?
Name 3 female american presidents.
There are none... so what? The internet is not American, I'm not American, the video is not about Americans and what does this have to do with Broadly making a documentary about one girl in a Japanese subculture, whilst ignoring the contributions of hundreds of thousands of men in that same subculture? Perhaps there might have been a good argument for this video had the girl had to fight against patriarchal attitudes in order to be accepted, but at no point in the video does any one (except herself) single out her gender as an issue. On the contrary, she is given plenty of support and recognition and even wins a prize for her achievements. There is no good argument for this video to have been made, except for the fact that she is a girl. Now I don't mind the video being made, I quite enjoyed it. I don't mind her taking part in this subculture either - more power to her. What annoys me is the constant harping from feminists that western civilisation is a patriarchy, even to the point where videos like this are made without any sense of irony or awareness of the double standard being employed.
A great short documentary about a subculture I didn't even know existed. Keep it up!
So, are these bike gangs?
Basically, yeah. Mabe not her but a huge amount of guys at Q-1 were Bosozoku for sure.
@@flangle oh ok. So bosozuku are biker gangs then?
@@Dave102693 It's a subculture with gang elements/ association. Some people are in it for the custom bike mod scene; others take it to more serious level.
0:21 well if you ask me that's a true talent right there!
By far one of the stupidest things I've never heard of.
Hotrod heard of? Didn’t you just watch it?
Well, 'rolling coal' is a thing too. Ever heard of that one?
Lemme get uhhhh
I used to love making rev music when I worked at a cemetery and had a sweet echo weed wacker and rev bomb on every head stone.
This video gave me carpal tunnel I want my 18:17 back😠
That snap on tool box color combo is the shit
