Tokyo Drift Reborn - Underground Car Culture Goes Mainstream | Capturing Car Culture
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Back by popular demand, Larry Chen attends Tokyo's most exclusive underground car meet, which isn't so underground anymore-and that's a good thing. This exclusive car meet garnered so much attention and built such a reputation that manufacturers like Nissan took interest and used the event to feature their Hyperforce concept car alongside the iconic Super Silhouette race car. Larry also had the opportunity to witness a gathering of automotive unicorns when a local group of Kaido Racers showed up, allowing him to meet and photograph them.

The level of respect all the attendees show is brilliant and pure class. No sillyness. Just appreciation of fantastic machines. Take note the UK.

Americans need to take notes also. The ego of these car owners over here ruins every event. The language used is disrespectful. The hot heads always cause trouble.

@@Matucksman I was just thinking I would love to get back into the car scene, but unfortunately here in the US it’s so out of control. From takeovers, to violence over people disliking each others cars. Just isn’t worth the risk here. I wish whatever state your from the best with getting back to what car culture is actually about!

As an American, I love Japan 🗾! So clean, car culture is on another level, looks like the people are respectful for others and their country.. I really would love to move there 🔥👍🏻👍🏻
So happy to see Hagerty tipping the hat to JDM cars!❤
That Lincoln was the most Freedom Murica Car I've ever seen. I could smell the freedom through my screen lols
Larry Chen + Hagerty never fails not once
What I think is beautiful about this is it’s the current generation of car enthusiasts paying respect for the previous generation and their respective “style” something that is hardly seen here in the states.
Japan is amazing. American's could learn a lot from their culture.

Thanks Larry and team. You guys made this channel carrying a new dimension to "not just another automotive review channel". (It's like Anthony Bourdain to the food scene with a hint of national geographic.) Keep it up! Kudos!

Thank you Larry, another fantastic video Saturday mornings are fantastic with your content , Hagerty has the right people creating content for them and you are #1 in the line up along with your creations, I would love to go to Japan for some car culture and visit the best camera stores in the world in the next couple of years, always look forward to your videos , you just keep upping the ante ❤
Love these jdm car vlogs! Too cool and I feel like you are in a set of Tokyo drift!

I just love the Japanese, when they get into something they go full throttle all in, no f...king around, they love, appreciate and respect whatever culture they adapt as much as if it's their own, they'll research the history down to the most minute fact and their creativity is always executed beyond the highest perfection possible 🔥
Shout out to my Boy Italian_in_Japan and his Crew from RPM Generation seen at 4:29 these guys are showing you the Japanese Car Culture everyday on every social platforms. And as usual supurb work from Larry and Hagerty !! Much love you Guys are the Best!!!
Awesome stuff this, wish I could see this, was there a week back in Tokyo. Keep it up guys
Unbelievable collection
Always fun to see car culture in Japan
Such a unique content 😊 that’s awesome
These meets look so cool! It is a whole vibe ❤️
Man compare this to the horrible car meets we have here in SoCal where everyone either revs, does a burnout or donut drawing attention to where cops come and shut it down. Especially in underground or roof parking lots. The closed off areas allow the exhaust sound to be amplified where someone in a BMW, Infiniti G37, Mustang, Challenger, Charger ruins the meet.

@@ShaqBryant Oh for sure. Same with us Z guys. But I just read this thing on my news feed of a girl who got hit in a takeover while taking a selfie because a red G37 lost control doing donuts here in LA. And she most likely didn't make it. And a lot of clapped out G's and Z's always go to those takeovers. Same with Mustangs, Chargers, Challengers, and trucks.
Music was on point, directly correlated to the action and the cars. Very nice.
We been doin this in the DMV for years and we drift after we chill. Rooftop garages and underground garages
I think I spotted Dustin’s Evo when they left the underground meet.
Thank you
So good. Love how they're not getting instantly impounded too

Yeah, how is this not a show on Motortrend or something? I wish tv cable networks and streaming services that are serious about car focused material, would look at this channel, or syndicate it. We don’t need another hour long show where a bunch of rednecks fake work on a car, and most of the build is them adding so much drama and unprofessionalism that you would never hire them to touch your car.
This is an excellent and very enjoyable video. Yes, it is about cars, but the car reflects the owner's passion for the machine.
I looked up the music at 6:56 The Song is Toasted by Dylan Sitts
Love this! 🙌🙌🙌

The ds cameras give an old 80s/90s aesthetic bcs of the poorer quality, works surprisingly well paired with older things etc
Tokyo underground meets have been a thing for longer than just 2023 Larry 😂. The game was changed in 2017 by the first Tokyo Auto Salon underground meet in Odaiba aqua city.
Those old JVCs will go forever.
Woke up 5am PST to pee and happily surprised see this on my TL . 👍🏼
I respect any car culture. The Bosozoku style is out way out there & then comes the Lincoln pimpmobile that's the biggest land barge before he got his hands on it, just absolutely amazing!

I hope one day, it can happen that the biggest event of all Asian countries joins in 1 event. It is definitely the most amazing event in history
Need more Hot Rod Lincolns.
If this was in NYC, most of the cars won't make it to the site because of the never ending potholes.
