Inside The High Stakes World Of Tokyo’s Loop Racers - The Roulettezoku 「ルーレット族の世界」
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 вер 2018
- IMPORTANT: Please Read The Description Box Below!
Roulettezoku 「ルーレット族」literally translates to “Roulette Tribe”. It’s a term that not many in the west know, because it is mainly used by the Japanese police to specifically refer to the hashiriya 「走り屋」or street racers who run the inner city highways of Tokyo; mainly the C1 Loop and Wangan line.
This video is an inside look at the high stakes world of the Roulettezoku. It follows my friends and I as we spend one night out in Tokyo exploring the scene and experiencing everything first hand.
This video is also basically a series pilot/a pitch video for a series. Please read on.
Recently I had a dinner with the head of The Discovery Channel in Japan where I had a very real chance to talk all about my story and the car culture niche and the what and why of my mission with Drift Hunter. For you guys who have been following me for awhile, you know that this is basically the culmination of the past 5 years of effort. For 2 hours, I made the case that there exists a super massive, worldwide fan base; a passionate and diverse group of enthusiasts, just like you and I, who are hungry for real, authentic content and stories about the multiple aspects of Japanese car culture. And that there are very, very few people who have the ability to tell these stories.
So, There is a very good chance that execs from The Discovery Channel and possibly other platforms will be watching this video. And, they’ll be going through your guys comments. If my content has ever brought you any value and you resonate with my mission and want to see me take this to the next level, speak up - this is your time to be heard. Drop a comment below of:
1. Name, age, location
2. Why you feel content about real JDM culture is important
3. Why you trust me to tell these stories and continue to follow me
And if you enjoyed this video, please consider sharing it on Facebook and Reddit, or screen capping the video and making an Instagram story. I’ll do my best to promote it myself, but I need your help to get this video to a million views❤️
Once again thank you everyone so much for your support. I wouldn’t have made it this far without every 61,000 of you at the time I’m posting this!
Big thanks to Andy and Norm for being in the video! Please check out their work:

Mountains = initial D
Highway = Wangan midnight
Do you know Shutoko Battle?
@@Psycho-Nanoka_chan hell yeah
wangan midnight hella corny tho, I have a hard time watching it
@@kidcaspertv2698 STFU kid, talking like initial d is not cliché at all.
Wangan Midnight is bad ass
We need a Forza Horizon that takes place in Japan!
You think they would. Right? I mean come on. Most all car guys I know grew up with Gran Turismo, Fast and the Furious and Initial D. We love Japanese cars!
Nah until Toyota and Mitsubishi wont sign
Better delay it
We do😩
Anime Avatar Nico puri car
You just read my mind
This is exactly how Tokyo drift explained it to us
And don't forget INITIAL D!!!
Yes even parking lots are full of cars. Like someone does this in the US and police raid it
@@BrunoJaureguiMusic Yes, because the Japanese are more respectful, whereas us in America are inconsiderate and destroy it for the rest of us
@@stoopidhaters Initial D is about touge racing, not highway racing.

Thank you, Japan. Thanks for providing us with the cars and motivating us with the culture. We really appreciate you in the West.
moonshiners were driving like this on dirt roads many years ago, the japanese didnt start it hollywood made it seem that way.
@@leperchauntripod This type of thing has been big in Europe for many years, but one thing I like with the japanese guys is that they are in to drifting!
Drifting is honestly the most fun you can ever have with a car. It makes you feel free, it makes you feel good. And when you have a car powerful enough to run from the police, then wow!
I know its more possible to run from the police in Japan, due to the small and many roads compared to USA where the roads are made in a way that its basically impossible to outrun a cop, but we have many similar things here in Europe with small roads and many old roads intertwined, so we have a great culture like that over here too, its just not as much money here.
The type of cars that people have in Japan is the biggest difference compared to here too and the coolest of all is how loose the rules and regulations for how you can modify your car over there... some of that stuff would just NEVER be able to go on a road up here in Northern Europe.
@@siegpasta I will agree i do love the fun and all but i think personally the japanese are getting to much credit is all. i am of Slovak/Polish decent and I'm aware of the economical standing in eastern europe . and yes its much harder here with restrictions and the roads them selfs ... being in japan and going full send and basically no limit mods would be amazing and all. I'm sure the overwhelming amount of smaller roads must indeed make things a bit more interesting, i know here where i am its a lot of dirt roads and thin highways so playing out here is easier... no police in my town ... less than 200 in population , so its a bit more relaxed. nice to have a difference of opinion without being called names and such.
@@leperchauntripod I agree that they gett too much credit, but all Im saying is that you cant deny that those cars are really cool!
Im happy where I live, Sweden. You cant go crazy like they do in Japan in the cities caus the police will catch you with their super Volvo cars with specially modified engines, 4 wheel drive and so on.
but drive 2 hours outside any big city and it becomes like you talk about, ALOT more relaxed :D
I personally live here in the capital (Stockholm) which I dislike, I like the countryside alot more and to have cars and such but its a shame you cant help where your parents wants to chose to live isnt it?
Its going to take at least 10 years of saving to get enough money to get a house outside of this city, but it will be worth it!
Also, in general I'm much more interested in the American cars than the japanese cars, even though I think those japanese cars are cool.
A big biuick with a V8 isnt something you cant say no to ;)
Or a Ford Raptor with the biggest engine, yes yes. Just give me that one and I will be pleased!
maybe you didnt know, but Sweden has more restored American 'veteran' cars (old American luxury cars with big v8 engines or above) than in USA itself! Our culture here for such things is extremely big and we call it to be "Raggare". The only downside to your cars is that they are all automatick! HAHAHA!
@@siegpasta agreed and its a cool culture they have , they cars are bad ass !! i wish i could have a go!!
I was so happy when a couple of streets racers overtook the cab that I was in on new years eve in Tokyo. I remember a blue skyline R34 and a Mazda RX7 passing by. It felt like I was part of a Need for speed game.
mpowerrr bro these are my 2 favorite cars, id pass out :)
I wasn't in Tokyo
But I was in Moscow in Russia
And I saw an evacuator trucking a Silvia S13 if I remember correctly
It was my first time seeing since I'm From a small city in Ukraine
We don't see those often
And that S13 was a drift spec one
It was all built for drifting
Maybe it was for a competition
in Long Island NYC YOU SEE lambos porches and Ferrari's down this long stretch of a beach side road going at

is it me or do cars just look cleaner and shinier in Tokyo lol
Nope, it's not you. Their culture is based around keeping their cars as clean and perfect as possible.
They value cleanliness A LOT.
it's easy for them to build or rebuild their cars since it's easy to search for spare parts for these japanese cars
and there's no road salt
They look like hondas
Greatest car culture on earth, I'd love to experience it some day.
Karl , I got some cars if you are interested
What makes it the "Greatest" car culture in your opinion? I was in the Navy and traveled through Japan. There's nothing about their scene that doesn't have similar aspects in other countries. Yes, there are differences but car culture (love of the automobile) is largely similar the world over.
@@MrAristes The thing that makes it the greatest is the sheer amount of respect they have. Seriously.
@@firehunterz2311 and the entire and scenery and atmosphere
@@MrAristes it’s the home of most of the greatest cars ever made
I wanna move to Japan just for the car culture. 😍
Ahhhh... mines wood be for the lonely milf culture. Horizontally pasteurized edition.
Cali had a jdm car culture until people started dying
Same
me too! :)
I have two friends that moved there, one own an Integra DC2 and the other one a EK9 Civic ;) The hardest part for them has been to start Japanese I think
if this comment is still needed, My name is Charles Davis. I live in the Pocono Mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania and I am 51 years old. I started following the Sport Compact Car seen in the late 90s. I have always had a love for cars, being as I was a kid through the 70's and rode in and watched the muscle cars of that day. I was fascinated at how the Japanese cars were able to make sooooo much power using, basically science. The fact the Albo is spending time and money showing the history and lineage of this car seen is, well, BANANAS! My hats off to this young man for putting together an amazing documentary on this car scene. I know the platform has been covered here in the US, but, I think the way that he presents it, shows that its not about law breakers and rebels, but about the love of the automobile and the friendships and family that can be built around this. Car racing has been around in the US since cars have been around. I believe he can take this platform and style of content around the world. Give him the chance to show his talent and journalistic style. I want to be a DriftHunter citizen!!
Awesome message! I'm a Pa native as well, so I'm glad to see that there are at least 2 of us with this love.
just to add, ABR hosoki, built the famed datsun and 930 porche that ruled the wangan and C1 loop in the 80's90's, the porche was supposedly invested with $2mil in parts and modifications. the y both made over 600hp at the wheels. these guys were topping 225mph back in the 90's on the street!, they were part of the original mid night racing team.
Agreed. I think US car culture is soo much more about the person (showing off, and the fame associated with it) and less about the machine.
Bobby Sweeney make that 3 of us im about 2 hours down from there
Ya fukin boomer... SMH.
and gran turismo actually added the circuit including the parking lot as a pit stop in their game
What's the Name Of the Track ? Self Titled ?
@@genociderjill the name is tokyo expressway x)
@@lonedri2890 Which gran turismo? Personally speaking, GT4 has Tokyo Route 246.

lawszepie dude that’s so coooool!
I love how they look out for other people while speeding its respect for others. Long live Japan!
I picked up the habit of using turn signals and horns while doing pulls to warn people that Im hauling ass from the Japanese
Respect? They’re speeding putting all there lives in danger. I don’t think they care
@@Tom-ck3io Try to think less black/white. Just because they’re racing, doesn’t mean they don’t want to watch out for others

Fd moment
It'd be amazing if you did that No Good Racing documentary, plus you've met a real member which is a great head start!!! Good luck mate, I hope you make it!!!
The member he met seems a Yakuza
@@ibrahimerturk7649 that's even better. I hear that a lot of Yakuza start out in street racing gangs, but I don't know if it's only motorcycle racers. It will be an amazing story if he is Jakuza because they are THE best organised and powerful organised crime gangs in the world. They have firmly entrenched themselves into Japanese society and still have respect, loyalty and honour unlike the vast majority of other famous gangs.
@@ibrahimerturk7649 Bosozoku is the motorcycle gang whose members are often recruited into the Yakuza (at least that's what I'm sure I heard about)
Check the the Chronicles channel, they have a 10 part vlog series on No Good. Met up with the OGs raced in the loop and everything.
Looking forward to more documentary style films on Japanese car culture! Great video! From a fellow car enthusiast in Glasgow, Scotland 🏴
You must make a video about kanjozoku.. This kind of style is the root of nowadays jdm car culture...
Osaka is the mecha of HONDA tuning culture! Where it all started!!the roots of jdm underground HONDA culture!. 🇯🇵👌👊✌
@@nowaydudehuh8145 i know
.. Just said about the kanjozoku not the Tokyo area
@@tougeproject2695 sum wangan culture from Tokyo! Them high speed runs in shit! I feel you homie! Its all good!👊✌
@@nowaydudehuh8145 love the kanjolife no good for ever
Check Best MOTORing channel, those tuned for touge cars they have there keep the style of the 80s/90s roots.
“As long as there are civics, it will continue” lmao too true
This was amazing. I never knew how big the culture was in Japan. I'm older now and don't keep up with my American car culture as much but Japan reminds me of how our culture used to be. Parking at night with other car people and going out later to drag race out of town. I definitely would like to see more of this. I won't call them rice burners anymore. They are serious racers.
For the love of god make that documentary about kanjozoku!
I love seeing all those different and unique cars at once. There is so much car love and passion in the air.
The No Good Racing guy was really damn cool and enthusiastic. He had a lot of passion for the his buddies. I loved how excited he was about bringing other members out and racing routes for you to make a video. I'd love to see you make a video that focuses on the topic.
It really show how passionate he is to keep the culture alive. It sucks hearing that it has really died down from all the police crack downs.
He was very friendly. Hopefully when I visit Japan I can meet some friendly people
This is a priceless documentary, thanks for capturing the culture in such a captivating way.
This is such a well-made video, and full of passion for the scene. I’m really impressed, man!
Hey Man!! This came together really nicely!! Very much psyched to be a part of this!
Its really nice to see you guys together, keep up the good work
Pretty cool seeing you in a race video! I guess that's why it showed up in my feed though heh.
Would love to learn more about the No good racing team
Same here, I have a No Good Sticker on my Eunos Roadster(I know it's not a Honda, but whatev lol) So a real in depth history on them would be awesome
Take that sticker off you poser
It means RICER
nobody makes anyone look like a joke, their respective cultures are awesome in their own rights.
Agree. How they are doing now is very intereating.
The cat on the steering wheel in the Lambo was honestly just adorable, I didn't expect the cat when he angled the camera towards the interior of that Lambo, making it more adorable, and funny, at the same time, this guy, Albo, really does know how to make videos.
This just reignited my love for those cars and the culture. Keep up the good work.
To think, regarding the "Little trees" car scents, its not that you have 'more prestige' when you own more of those (maybe that were lost in translation). You see, one of those car scents probably lasts at best a month. Maybe less, maybe more, depending on the type and brand.
When one runs out, you buy more. So the more you have, shows how long you had the car for, so to speak. By only that, people can roughly see how great your bond with your car is. With that tiny and subtle hint, people can almost think of your whole journey and adventure you went through with your car. So in a way, it shows how much experience you have with your car. Hence the mentioned term "top dog" which basically what the young drivers there refers to something similar to the "OG" term used in the US
The exact way I was thinking it round in my head if its a respect thing then the old saying respect is earned not giving or brought comes to play and you just said it better lol
That's the Japanese way. Subtle things to make you THINK! Us Americans are so used to instant information, gratification. No patience, no thinking. I like that. Slow down a little bit and reflect.
Yeah that's kinda what I was assuming. It's less of a prestige thing and more of a way to show how long you've had the car.
but what stops a new guy from just buying a bunch of trees and just hanging them all at once?
That's an interesting way of thinking of it. My thinking is: the owner is lazy and doesn't make the effort to clean out their car!
Why Need for Speed or Forza won't touch this is beyond me. I miss Tokyo Xtreme Racer/Import Tuner Challenge after watching this.
Tuskegee Ace I loved that game! My dad, brother and me use to play it as a family.
Actually both dev teams under those games are pretty much interested in rip the customers wallets year after year as they show how deeply their heads are stuck in their entitled asses instead of delivering an sligthly bit of actual car culture anymore.
Maybe because forza keeps getting all their japanese brands taken out of the game so what's the point.
because nfs is bearly a race game but more a tuner game so aint good for nothing. and what japanese brands are you speaking off that are not in forza cause i played fh3 yesterday and had every major brand in it. in forza 7 the only real thing so far was te ae86 that is no longer in the game
@@Buddashii Mitsubishi and Toyota won't be in Horizon 4.
I still remember the first time I drifted with my two friends in front of me and words can not describe the freedom I felt when I did! Thank you so much for this video and you do not know how much I wish to have been able to be there and watch them drift in person!!🤗💛

What an amazing video! Yet another inspirational and exclusive look into the car culture of Japan. ありがとございます and keep them coming!!!!
My god keep this up for god sake! even though I am in the culture and know all this, it just reminds me of the early 2000s (such good times) please keep making these videos. New sub, 1 love.
This was dope ASF!!!! This just solidifies my want to visit Japan! Thank you so much for videos like this. I can't imagine the time and effort you and your crew put into something as wonderful as this. Keep it comin'!
I love cars, so watching a video of this quality makes me really happy. It makes the car culture seem more real, not fictional. Thank you so much.
Man, this brings back so many memories, I used to work for Vertex USA. Thank you for providing us superb content, I'm glad I found it!
I think the most interesting thing about Japanese car culture is the fact police put trust in the racers to not crash and keep people safe
So true. Japan is truly an amazing country.
It could be like that in the US, too, if we didn't have blacks to ruin everything
@@_GOD_HAND_ agreed
@@_GOD_HAND_ umm yeah, tell that to the victims of white MUSTANG drivers always plowing through crowds. It's getting so bad, it's become a meme
@@shogunero3.6 why don't you teach Asians how to drive in America. They've been the joke of driving for decades
Man! This video reminded me so much of Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero for the PS2. Such a cool game, i remember all the names like Wangan and the C1, and to know that the culture is still active is so great too! Fantastic Video, cheers from Argentina!!
And Street Supremacy too. The game even got the re amemiya body kit for the FD and the Abflug custom body kit for the Supra that was in the Mid Night japan club.
Que juegazo papaaaaaaaaa
Dude i loved that game i uses to build some bad ass honda crxs lol
Love that game! The wanderer requirements were so hard to figure out
Holy shit bro I just found my disc copy of that game earlier today. Great game
Been searching UA-cam for some high-quality content on street racing culture and your videos are by far the best I've seen so far. Keep up the great work, I hope you land that deal with Discovery, they'd be lucky to have someone as dedicated as you creating content for them. My name is Ethan, I'm 23 and live in New York. Your dedication to spreading the word of the actual JDM car culture is amazing and a breath of fresh air. I trust you to tell these stories because you seem truly dedicated to the culture and the life and seem to know your stuff. Keep it up and we'll keep watching.
I wish I could hit like more then once. Love the community and how you showed the importance of the car seen, keep it up.
Rob from Jamaica. This video is how I want to see this culture captured and the host is a true enthusiast not a fame seeker by my account. Would love to see this become a supported show so more content like this can enrich us the world over. eg. u an now aware of specifically where in Tokyo I have to go to see specifically what inspires me in that culture
That supra in the thumbnail is 😍
Need to find the @ so I can see more! It's been haunting me for too long
Apparently we want to see more of this! Great mini doc you and your team created. Keep the contents coming and keep up the good work!!
I've been fascinated and inspired by this culture since 2000. Keep up the good qork, I will continue to live that life and consume as much content relevant to it as possible
Would love to see more! Really appreciated getting into the history and nuances of Japanese car culture.
I love this channel and would love to see more!
I’m in the states in the high desert outside LA where the street scene has been around forever and we never had the resources to see any of this. Our best shot was traveling down to Asian markets to pick up the latest Option Mag... so to see this channel documenting the scene and it’s birthplace for imports is hugely gratifying and above all very important to its legacy to be captured. Thank you for continuing. You have so many fans over here rooting for you!
Its awesome to learn about underground subcultures when you dig a little deeper like that. Keep it up!
That is incredible, i wish i had seen that when i was in Tokyo last year ! congratz for the video that is a rare moment you shared with us " car lovers "
Had to stop it at 10:56 that shot was beautiful idk why. Make more of these you're doing a great job
Hey man! love your videos. Keep it up! It’s because of videos and people like you that we get a glimpse into Japanese street culture. Much love from Montreal 🇨🇦
Fantastic video. The passion you have is obvious and it shows in your work. The car culture in Japan has always been fascinating. From what I have gathered over the years, Japan car culture is about respect, honor, and very disciplined driving. And that’s admirable.
Good documentary I have always loved and followed the car culture of Japan and the life style. I have always wanted to go just to do what you are doing now. Keep it going man, car enthusiasts like myself love and learn from this type of stuff.
Dude i love your vids I watch every single one of them and i try not to miss them and the reason i keep coming back is because i can see your dedication and love for sharing your experience and knowledge for the car world. I had got into the japanese car culture through initial d and i was never sure if it was real until i saw your video with the red R32 drifting on the touge. I can't speak for everyone but i can speak for myself when i say watching your vids makes me feel like I am there with you living my greatest dream I appreciate it and would love to see you get the chance to show it to people who don't understand our love for cars. It's not always about going fast theres a deeper meaning to it and I would love to see people understand that.
(P.S. i had talked to you once before bc you told my how clean my red Fc was and i appreciate that it made my day and i wont ever forget it)
Heey, Albo. I'm Neto, from Brazil! My interest in motorsports in general came 3 years ago, when I was 16 years old, and what really got me was the JDM culture/drifting. When I discovered your channel I already had a knowledge about how big the Japanese culture influenced the car scene nowadays; but I never questioned why people were so passionate about it, what made it different or special.
You are able show us through your work what it feels to be in the middle of such a, as I already said, passionate community. It's easy to tell that you're also not only an admirer but someone who helps keeping that old but bold JDM spirit alive.
Your documentaries are incredible, when we deeply enjoy what we do the results come phenomenally. That's why you should be able to reach more people, there are a lot of JDM lovers out there, your determination to show us what you and also we like deserves more praise and recognition. I already recommended your channel to a lot of friends that I made from this car community, even though I live in the other side of the globe.
I hope you keep doing what you enjoy and be successful, you deserve it! Oh, and many thanks!
Nice video man. I'm in alaska the car scene just finally got moving over here. Keep the Culture alive. Spense
Great content man! Nice in depth look beyond the cars and more about the culture.
Hey man! “The Hunters” is amazing. This topic is fascinating and so rich in culture. With every video released, I drop everything to watch immediately - no BS! This documentary series is so much better than anything on traditional network television. I only ask one thing, if you elevate this show, please don’t change or dilute it. It’s gold as is. Cheers guys! 🤙🤙
Thanks!

Big appreciation and will be watching more!!! Japanese Street and modified car culture is what inspires most of us around the world. Love the work bro🤜🏾🤛🏼
Although I just got into cars, more specifically watching content pertaining to cars, I would say that this is the most touching video I've watched yet. I felt as If I was there right alongside you guys getting the full experience.
I would totally watch a Kanjozoku documentary. You could compare real life scenes with the anime "Wangan Midnight".
Racecarlock I love the anime.
Initial D > wangan midnight
I saw Initial D and Wangan Midnight, while I watched I wanted it would have more time :-) Very good movies
I am from Slovakia, see car Škoda 135L/R
@@PatriATRIK theres 6 seasons of initial d. Thats a lot of content. More than a trilogy of movies
Hello, I know about anime series, I saw Initial D movie (2005). Perharps i will sometime watch anime series with Czech (similar language to Slovakia) or English subtitles :-)
I love your videos and look forward to your next post as always. It’s very interesting to see the differences and similarities between American car culture and Japanese car culture. I especially like how you concentrate on not just the cars but also the people. After all it is he people with our love for cars, the culture, and improving our driving skills, that makes this scene a world wide thing. I find it amazing how you can go anywhere in the world and immediately make friends with car crazy people from that country. It’s a universal thing. Hope this comment helped and that’s for spending the time to make as good videos as possible. We notice!
That interview was awesome!
Sweet job dude keep making these dope videos they are much appreciated
Street racing is the enjoyment of pushing yourself without any rules on your shoulders. I love to go out in my car at 4 a.m. on some barren back-roads and push my self to my limit to eventually having my car holding back my ability. Im in the northern US so modifying cars is really rare but there's that 1 in a 1000 you come across. Car culture is extremely important to some people it means the world to have a car form the 90's and thrash it around. But its a lifestyle working 2 to 3 jobs just to pay for those new tires and coilovers. Mabye for that engine rebuild for much more power. I believe cars are a way of expressing art form a personal standpoint. The beauty of a car and a driver pushing them self is a crazy thing no words can explain but through experience. I personally was born whit the eagerness to race. I remember being a kid and seeing all the 90's modified cars when I used to live in the southern part of the US and just take in the turbo sounds and engines reeving. Hope this helps with your people looking for why this is important Albo.
I thought street racings b'coz we kinda' broke to rent race tracks plus certain area, the tracks are sooooo far away and we can't afford to rent flat-beds.
I couldn't have said it better myself
Powerful & true, lovely passage.
i feel the same way man i drive a volvo c70 t5 with a full sport package with a hard hitting turbo i rip my local backroads almost when ever i can
In 1999 i was doing topspeed runs every morning on gravel to get to work,and back home,at lunch etc ;) burned over 10sets of tires just from going over their speed rating this is over 10hrs topspeed time.over 220on ice too
Now with kids sometimes the feeling is different.been "inVINCEible" for quite some time now.be carefull out there guys
Enjoy your passion
I lived in Yokosuka, Japan from ‘94-‘96... I fell in love with the Japanese culture, especially the car culture. I long for the day that I can return there. Thank you for sharing this video and best of luck to you on your endeavors producing additional relevant documentaries.
I loved the authentic Wangan video ...I would've never imagined it was as u portrait it to be greater vid bro. KUDOS FROM MEXICO CITY
Great content Albo, so down to earth and easy to watch! 👍
Man if you get to make that doc I would watch the heck out of it, this was so well made... Love your videos mate, just wish I would've found you sooner! Cheers from Newfoundland, Canada
Albo, I avidly watch your videos because it keeps me inspired, every time I watch I am more than pleased.I totally support your idea about the documentary. It's my belief that there's a huge disconnect/gap with the newer generation of racers and or enthusiasts, and feel this would bring them, if not all of us together. I will be sharing this video as well as many others on social media too, I am so happy and proud of you. Keep up the great work! Viewing all the way from #Alaska
Great video! I’m from Baltimore and I’ve been into the culture almost all my life. After watching this video I understand where they got the inspiration for a lot of video games like Tokyo Extreme Racer. (One of my all-time favorites) I plan on checking out a lot of these areas when I visit Japan in the near future. 🍌
I hope you got what needed from those execs. This is the 1st video of yours that I have watched and I love the interactions and respect for history and tradition. Having been an active and founding member of an MC that was at one time known for racing and stunting I love seeing people from the other side of the world that are just like we are. It is amazing to see the same archetypes. There is always the loud guy, the fat guy who is way faster than he should be, the skinny guy who looks like he spent all his money on parts, the rich guy with more vehicle than skill. Anytime you gather "speed people" together there is almost always a hierarchy and respect for each other's skill and for safety. I look forward to seeing your docs on a large platform!
Nice! Hyped to watch this new vid. Thanks!
Hey guys! I'm from Spain, I'm 23 and I would love to see more content like this. No one in my country does any video explaining all that stuff like you did. Hope we can see more in the future. Keep going!
Your content has really drawn me closer to my love for cars. thank you
Awesome feel to the story you are telling. Makes me want to be there but seeing as I can not, I will Subscribe and I will continue watching. Thank you so much to you and thank you to Sam for telling us about you. - Christopher from Montreal, Canada
You make the best content on UA-cam man. I never miss an episode you put out. If you make an episode with the real No Good drivers my head will definitely explode. I'm 35 (and from Alabama!) now and learned to race a 93 BMW 325is on a local mountain pass back in 2002 when I found out about Japanese Touge racing culture. Thank you for doing this. 🍌🍌🍌
Japanese automotive culture is something that has influenced our automotive culture here in the US we adopted so many things from Japanese car culture it's just good to really see and get to know where they came from
Jaime Moctezuma yeap that how RICER was born as well
The level of respect here for tradition and safety and the culture fills my heart! ❤️
This is the best documentary. Well written and organized
Bananas!! I absolutely love your content, its inspiring. I've been into cars since as long as I can remember and specifically JDM, but your videos take me to a whole other level. Currently I live in Japan and am looking for either an FD RX7 or an S14. I cant wait to hit the roads and hopefully make it to the loop in Tokyo. My plan is to eventually take the car back to the states and spread the tradition to keep it alive! Keep up the good work, I know you are right to tell the story because of your passion and energy you have for the culture.
This is my first video watching you and I'm blown away. I can't believe I just came across your channel. It's everything ❤️❤️❤️ I hope Netflix works out if it hasn't already!
Man so happy for you Allen, just been going back to watch some videos that I've missed as I always try to watch as much as I can I somehow missed this one lol.
Very happy to see this video. Love that an English speaker is getting in there and making a video about it. Thank you so much for making this.
Edit: Got to the end of the video. Truthfully, I think it would be a shame for this to go "big time" and become a network produced show. Some things are great because they are obscure, rare and left in the dark. Shining a big network tv light on this culture, I think, would ruin it. Please allow it to grow in its natural habitat. Do not shine to much light on this.
Fair enough, thanks for your thoughts and for watching!
@@ALBO I think as long as you maintain majority of the creative control it'd be dope tbh
Im into kanjo, i really really want u to make a video of the kanjozoku and the loop everything u can provide.... keep doing this awesome job that we all enjoy so much..
smokey wasnt even part of the mid night club
Amazing video! Thank you to give us this part of Japan. Definitely I have to visit this place once in my life.
This is nuts love it keep it up. Brings back memories off when I was a young man.
Without a doubt one of the most enjoyed videos I’ve seen. I’m fascinated with cars and the passion some people show for them. You all are privileged and lucky to have seen that in person. Also, the city in the background looks incredible! Great work and an even greater vid. Thank you.
Ive been browsing japanese drif videos for long time, but there's not alot like this. First I wanna thank u for the content its absolutely amazing, love drifting with a burning passion,9 and
My sole goal is to move to japan and live there for the rest of my life, im 22 been quenching my drift thirst in simulator games and car games from the age of 5/6, rn I moved to ireland and slowly working my way towards japan, (love designing cars as much as drifting them)

The car culture in tokyo is so peaceful and organized
Please do a full blown out documentary on these cars man. We need this. The gangs, the cliques, the stories, do that documentary. Live to do it. I've only started watching, this is my first one ever but I've been an ardent car fan since I was 8 and I still will be. Forever always.
I would so love to see a documentary on No Good Racing, please take all the bananas for funding.
Maaaaan I'm old.. I remember back in the late 90s cruising around in my mk3 supra.. Now I'm over here shopping for family SUVs..
@@nobleeffort2.4 lmao is it wrong if I say that that's a big FACT!? 😂
You a good man but raised the kid first before dying on a asphalt
Because im a car guy this video and many others that were made by you help me look deeper into the automotive scene of Japan. Also there's basically no articles on this stuff so thanks for making the videos
Your Videos are soo good! Keep going 🙌🏻
Dont know how or why i got to your channel. You got yourself another viewer, love the content looking forward to more cool and informative videos. Keep em coming sir. Subd!!!
I have been on holiday to Japan. What a culture shock! So civilised!
I am really into cars too, so this must be heaven! Love to see those videos! Great quality productions too!
Greetings from The Netherlands (Holland)
I'm from Canada and all Car Culture is important. I feel your footage and approach brings it to full light. Well done!
That was super cool and informative... I learned a lot that I wasn’t expecting to about this awesome culture!

I feel Albo is truly touching into a untapped source of a underground scene that's only been seen on VCR tapes and old potato quality videos or the great Keiichi Tsuchiya where he made a tape of himself drifting around the Touge or the great Japanese shows he's made with other famous drives/Driving legendary cars.To close my comment is that Formula Drift is becoming more popular in the US that means more people want to know where the origin's came from and you can dig and you'll eventually stumble on DriftHunterAlbo Where you can see the progression of him trying to infiltrate the secret hard to find underground car culture that's in japan and he's very passionate about making this come to fruition and its something i would very like to see happen and many more people would be inclined to watch/support this in the future im sure of it so please give him a shot and thank you.
Also Albo if you read this you have my support man keep it up !!!!
that red audi rs5 at 13:28 is very freakin fast around the loop, he's actually a chinese guy living in japan for 10 some years now
damn the rs5 is like my dream car love that audi v8 but i didnt think it was very competitive racing wise or had much potential to upgrade...gives me hope🔥
@@paulalangadan8375 that guy runs the loop almost every freakin night. some of those guys are dedicated AF
@@Persocondes if i had the time/money...shiit screw that someday i will 💪 😤
@@Persocondes what speed do you think he goes i just wonder as the police seem fine with it but they never mention how fast they usually go
@@evansoutdoors4022 on one of the long sweeps, he says the entry speed is about 250km/h
Dude! I love your channel. The Japanese culture has always intrigued me. Your channel has been my gateway to another world.
I'm from Albuquerque, New Mexico and we would love more of this content down here! Keep it up and great job 😎
First time watching.. I enjoyed the content, and the quality of the video was nice. Editing and music is on point. Thank-You for taking the time to share your experience with us. The time and effort put into the production of these films require a lot of time and effort. I have just clicked the subscription button and look forward to binge watching the rest of your videos, and await impatiently for new ones.
