You know when you think about it. I feel that can be attributed to a lot of things. Maybe things just start off organic and "real" but as time passes. More players enter the game. The formula of early success is replicated and becomes easier to duplicate. Which mean the quality and originality of the content becomes less and less. Until finally the thing, be it a genre of music ,a new sport or art movement. Slowly becomes bogged down in mediocrity. With the system that comes into place doing it's best to keep anything that might spark the thing back to originality from ever coming into own. You want an example of what I'm talking about? You need look no further than the very site we are on right now in this comment section.

Thank you for this alexi, its like a time capsule to 2000's japanese drifting.

This is so rad. It's incredible to see how much Ebisu has changed and how much has stayed the same over the years.

This one brings back memories from when I lived in Japan in the mid '80s-90s. The beat up cheap cars and red-stripe plates.... fun times in the hills of Aomori-ken. Got down to Ebisu a couple of times for drifting and to take the little ones to the drive-thru zoo.

Seeing cars drift with stock steering angle is so impressive. That downhill portion on Ebisu looks so much more intimidating in this video
