The fact even if you own a civic you get 100% respect from a ferrari owner in japan. No one is big or small, everyone is equal. That is why japanese culture is so special
in America they call that "ricer" when you try to craft your own part but in Japan is just wow, each car speaks about the owner, it has a story not just buy and put it like in america just to show up.
This was legit. Off the cuff coverage of a rare & unique moment in car culture. No fancy editing or narrated specs/ facts, just the pure sense of awe & adrenaline shared with the rest of around the world to appreciate.

One of the best videos with Larry ever for the fact that the rest of the team capture him losing his mind getting these shots in a way not seen in many videos. Larry is the Real Deal. You can't fake such excitement
I really love car culture when it’s handled like this. I like how Larry Chen brought out how respectful everyone was and when the police said to move to a more friendly location they did. In the US I doubt that would happen and we would do those weird burnout “shows” in a 4-way intersection on top of it. I just love how diverse the car cultures are in Japan. I mean this doesn’t even show the other huge meets that include itasha, bosozoku, or giant events dedicated to one specific car (for instance a GTR or something random like a Suzuki Cappucino).
Watch 1320 Video if you want to see American street racing culture. They're still careful and generally respectful of others. Takeover culture is its own cesspool.
@@brentives4688 1320 isn't careful or respectful. They just grab anyone footage they can get their hands on and post it regardless of how wreckless it is and street racing isn't something you should be promoting either. People get killed daily doing that stuff and it's usually bystanders
Dear Hagerty, thanks for colaborating with the "real" gearheads like Cammisa, Catcpole and then Larry chen... I think you need make a special Audi videos with Brian Scotto next time
Japanese car culture is crazy. I haven’t been in person so I’m not I can’t speak for what it actually is, but it FEELS like everyone respects each other. And not just that but everyone puts in EFFORT. Nothing is riced or clapped out. Everything that’s at these meets and shows are truly worthy of being shown.
Absolutely love this video, I felt so much for Larry. Been following this guy since school and am so grateful for his taste and perspective because he was the first automotive journalist/photographer that covered the stuff I like, rather than what's new and hot rods. I'm from rural Maine so the taste is basically all trucks.
In the first 10 seconds of this video, I already knew it was gonna be extra special, thank you Larry and the whole team involved for making these videos happen! Let’s goooo!!!
In the first 10 seconds I see a familiar car, and its randy's ferrari ! of @illiminate.. he has a youtube channel too, doing vlogs ! go check it guys, as a long time supporter of randy, hes so cool on fire !! 🔥🔥🙌🏻
To see Larry Chen light up like that when he's witnessed car culture all over the world only shows how special Japanese car culture is to him and to so many of us. Loved this video.
I remember emailing Larry many years ago to let him know how much of a fan I was of his work with Speedhunters and he actually replied back! It was great to see him become a personality with the Hoonigan guys, then go solo and now his partnership with Hagerty. Larry’s talent and unbridled enthusiasm for car culture is second to none. Videos like this are one of the many reasons I insure my E30 through you. Thank you Hagerty for hiring top talent! Keep car culture alive and please keep sending Larry on more missions.
Late comment but to witness this culture in Japan makes me really brought into tears genuinely!! Literally no words to describe this one but the only I could say right now is this is the most raw, diverse, genuine and connected car scene I've ever seen!! Just bunch of genuine car enthusiasts out there gathering occasionally and sharing this one same goal which is the love for our cars!!!! This really brought an inspiration to me!!! It makes my inner child awaken and fuels my flame of passion towards these machines even more!!! Thank you for sharing your true passion and connectivity with this scene and hopefully we could be able to preserve this and pass it to the future generations!!
Amazing collab with Larry Chen and Hagerty. You guys have been killing it with the content! The energy and love for the culture radiates in this video. Need more of this!
I gotta say my man the way Japan is with the car culture is beautiful everyone is together with their own unique build and I can't do nothing but respect that to the fullest. I love it no burnouts, uncontrollable drift crashes, dumb high end revs, or no extra showing out like that car meet is the most peaceful meet I've ever seen. Dude I'm happy you took those photos because they look live and legit I love the way these cars look my goodness.
From 11:00 - 11:11 it gave me goosebumps and literaly made me weak in the knees at the same time . What an amazing machine. L.E. I got to drive a F8 Spider , it's amazing.
Larry, I think I speak for everybody. Never stop capturing these moments. Keep doing this. We love you and are all so thankful that we get to see these moments captured through your creative eye.
The sound of the Ferrari at 11:00 is my absolute favorite all day any day. Just straight goosebumps anytime I hear that scream. I still have some of the import/street racer magazines from the late 90's early 2000's. A couple of them have articles and stories covering the Japanese underground car scene. Truly amazing. Glad it looks like it hasnt changed for decades. Mad respect.
Japan is super cool. Paradise for car lovers, the Japanese truly understand driving cars on twisty roads and have a real passion for cars. God bless the Japanese, some of the best most fun cars in the world come outta there, and they make the most fun to drive car on public roads that u can buy right now, the Miata.
This was epic to see meets like this again. The energy was felt through thr screen, from the pictures to the cars. Hagerty, you've got a formula no one else has now. Utilize it. 👍🏿
In Japan those skylines are so common but those Diablo’s and murci’s were next level and to see them all “hacked up” was epic I love the passion they all have and they actually drive their cars even If it is a Lamborghini Diablo GTR !
I freaking love seeing your excitement and enthusiasm Larry. I felt like that too and I’m watching this days into the future and hundreds of miles away
Meanwhile in America, they have these “takeovers” reving straight pipe cars at 2am in residential areas waking up my baby up. Japan is an amazing place. My family lives there a month out of the year. I encourage many enthusiasts to visit. Great video Larry!
Holy sh*t. I was there at that meet - or at least the first part! Wish I could have met Larry Chen in person - the shots here just show how he's such a genius at photography!
it's been a depressing week at work... then along comes LC. I couldnt stop smiling through the whole Vlog....... & my wife just doesn't get it Thanks LC :)
Deu para relembrar os momentos no Japão,tem os encontros de carros em estacionamentos, e tem os locais de Drift aí e mais carros de competição japoneses, parabéns pelas imagens.
This is what real car meet looks like American young people. Not cars crashing into each other an doing doughnuts in an intersection 🫤👀🙄 Class, style, no-drama.😎
I would like to take a moment and appreciate what Hagerty and Larry Chen have brought to us for some amazing content! Exposing this side of car culture, I can only hope wish and dream that the car culture in America can become as good & respectful as these events over seas.
@@mourn. yeah. I wanna go to spectate and take photos but probably wont get the chance. Still i’ll try and figure a way. They seem tk have made the meets bigger too so maybe more public. Or they have both underground and public
Thanks for a great video, Larry & Team. Your enthusiasm comes through, and matches that of the local car owners. What's so interesting, is the sense of community. Here in the States, it isn't hard to imagine some kind of nonsensical "beef" turning the night into a fight, or a stabbing -- or even a "shootout" -- where the only person killed is a 10 year old female bystander. Or instead of folks scattering, when a policeman starts photographing their license plates (imaging how quaint that sounds, to an American ear) -- you can imagine people confronting the police, and they surround and arrest someone...and tragically, he ends up dead -- through a combination of struggling, beating, tasering, mace, and ultimately not being able to breathe. (You don't have to "imagine" it; unfortunately, we see it on the TV news fairly often.) What a stark & peaceful contrast "the streets of Tokyo" are, to what we see here at home. You guys did a great job of capturing that...and in the video, at least for me -- the emotion, and the sense of joy & wonder, comes more from watching YOU guys, than from seeing the cars. 'Cause there's a million videos on TH-cam, of super high-def footage of totally amazing cars. But this is the first one I've seen, of the TH-camr team being so overwhelmed by what's in front of them, that they can barely contain themselves -- and so the footage is so honest, raw, and exciting. It made me want to visit Japan, actually. Maybe the Tokyo Tourist Commission will post this video on their website 😅😝 😂
This is absolutely amazing! The suit is sick! You can tell that the person who made this is a huge Batman Beyond fan. Absolutely got everything right: the setting, plot, fight scenes, the suit- just *mwah* perfection.
Larry loves shooting cars, and i love to see people so happy like him enjoying what they're doing. im actually scared for the future, when the car scene might become less about modifying your car and these cars become a rarity. Nice to see Robbie and Mike Whiddett out there too.

not just some owner its car youtuber illiminate
Cause Honda is Japanese?? Nah jk foreal the culture is crazy
well the civic owner might be expected to use keigo
Think any car guy even ones with Ferraris can appreciate the amount of work time and money that goes into anything
This was legit. Off the cuff coverage of a rare & unique moment in car culture. No fancy editing or narrated specs/ facts, just the pure sense of awe & adrenaline shared with the rest of around the world to appreciate.
The mutual respect between the authorities and the enthusiasts is something to be admired
Because in these circles, no one has anything to prove.
Now, if people like Larry show this as “how it’s done” and this becomes the norm, the scene will be better for it 👌🏼
I just realised USA tries to be Japan, but fails to be respectful. What an absolutely incredible meet! Love it, thank you for sharing!
OMG, I can legit FEEL the energy. Amazing footage guys, mad respect.
I can feel my brain cells disappearing 🤣
