I'm Japanese, born and raised in Canada, and huge car guy. At ages, 14~18 whenever I visited japan, I begged my cousin to take me to any kind of street racing event. Luckily, he was a car guy himself driving an S14. He would take me to late night industrial zones, where I'd say close to 40 cars would meet and have drifting sessions. It wasn't touge drifting, it was winding through industrial zone drifitng. These roads are much bigger than normal japanese roads since they were designed to be used by huge trucks, so they went alot faster than the touge guys. I was even lucky enough to get in the passenger seats of some of the guys driving. I looked forward to experiencing this event every year!. then one day.... It stopped. One year I went back to Japan and said, " LET's GO watch the Drifters!!",,,, and my cousin said," oh they they don't do that anymore". and just like that, the golden era of Japanese street racing was over.... sadest moment.
Long ago, a neighbor when I was a kid, had some old Hi-8 tapes and the VHS adapter to watch them, and I saw industrial drifting that you described, in the early 90s. Being a bikers kid with all the associations of the hotrod guys, I was born into grease and gasoline, so being introduced to the Japanese car culture through a few hours of home video spanning ride alongside and just spectator footage blew my mind.
Freedom is dead, really it died with those that died for the idea of it in the first place. Hell I almost lost my license for doing donuts in an EMPTY parking lot... had to use my get out of jail free card on that shit even.
You know what’s crazy, I genuinely believe industrial racing is a thing due to how spacious everything is. There used to be this spot called industrial in the suburbs of Illinois that people would host drag races or circuit style racing. It recently got exposed to the police but it just says how many more spots are around. I wouldn’t say the street racing is dead, just more secretive
I was a hashiriya rider in the 90s and 2000s. In those days, financial institutions in Japan lent money very easily, so even young people who had just gotten their driver's license could easily do hashiriya. My friend was driving aggressively, so he replaced his 180sx every few months. It was that cheap back then. I took out a big loan to buy a new Skyline, so I drove it carefully so that it wouldn't break.😅
Really good video, I love when non car channels make videos like this, they usually bring a deeper understanding of the general image. My entire life has been shaped by the japanese automotive world and I can proudly say I was able to spent several years working in Japan at a high level tuning company. From touge, street drifting and even some Wangan action, I was able to experience it all first handed, either with my own cars or using my connections for borrowed cars. To add some more stuff to this video: -You totally forgot to talk about the Yatabe Test Track, one of the MOST important places where brands and pro tuning shops clashed each other. First with drag racing (0-400, 0-1000), then with quickest 0-1000, quickest 0-300 km/h and then with pure highest speed. This is where the ultimate tuning cars were born, and most of the tuning parts were developed for. -In drifting, Keiichi made it famous and every started doing it. But the first organised drift competition was held by CarBoy Magazine in 1989. Later events were ruled by the then-new 180SX (famously driven my Orido when he was a youngster). The AE86 became the go-to cheap training car, but the 180SX was the car to run if you wanted to win. -In the Wangan segment, you correctly stated that the Mid Night never dissolved. Indeed they keep a small club around and you can see them occasionally. But they are a former shadow of the real club. Nowdays they are just rich kids with stockish AMG Benz and other mainstream cars. I mean, original Mid Night were also rich kids with mainstream cars from that era, but at least they put some effort in tuning them. Also, Mid Night was just one club, there were dozens of clubs and racers. Some of the fastest racers were either pro demo cars, or straight up lone wolfs. -In the Osaka Kanjo racers, the reason why almost everyone uses Civics is because back in the day, there was a very popular race in the Suzuku Circuit. It was a Civic one-make race, so after the race, racers would take they race cars to the Osaka highway. This was a tradition that have been kept until this day. But originally the Osaka highway had a vast range of different cars, just like the Wangan.
I think you are wrong with Mid Night club. They still race cars on tracks like Tsukuba and own modified Porsches, GTRs and FD3S. Maybe there are too many wannabees with Midnights stickers on Benzes 😂
Genki (Japanese game developer) successfully catches the essence of Japanese street racing scenes with their famous Shutokou Battle aka Tokyo Xtreme Racer, & Kaido Battle aka Tokyo Xtreme Racer DRIFT and Kaido Racer.
As I've gotten older and seen too many cars and several friends wrapped around trees, light poles and concrete lane dividers; I can not longer fully support unsupervised street racing. But I'm still all in for car customization, sanctioned racing, impromptu car meet ups, car girls/ women racers, and grease monkeys.
@@Blink_____ This from the 30 something manchild who acts like dirt + wheel = understanding driving at highspeeds. Clean ya trash can of used tissue and climb back in it, where you belong.
Max Power Magazine would first feature the Mid Night Club in the December 1995 issue. From there onwards they would interview and feature the members with their cars, even inviting in 1998 the then Club’s boss ‘Mr Y’ over to the UK to showcase how we did things here. From there onwards you’d see features of cars from the likes of Veilside, Top Fuel, Trial, JUN, Do-Luck & of Course Top Secret; including their various visits to other countries in the search for reaching breakneck speeds on public roads.
Lived in Japan for a long time and been around the racing scene and drove on many of the same roads as the midnight team. There was a spot in the Yokohama industrial area called Nambu where we watched drifting in the midnight hours. Fun times.
When the engineers from Nissan came to Australia to design and engineer a race winning car with the engineers here in Australia they came up with the R32 that was so quick that all the other car manufacturers had to redesign their cars. They developed a monster of a race car that was so dominant that ford came to Australia to develop the sierra coxworth turbo and became the second best vehicle to take on Australia’s most famous racetrack Bathurst and both cars only lasted for two to four years. It was when the people at Nissan had seen what Australian engineers did with the R30-R31 that they took interest in building the Godzilla R32 all wheel drive monster
As cringe as it sounds, one of life goals is driving down the wangan expressway at midnight and visit the touges featured in initial d. Maybe even do a cool film/edit.
The Mid Night Clubs I could say would be close to Batman of the Roads in Japan. Them as well as the Drift King have changed the world of Motor sport,we even got Formula Drift. Its also amazing that you can see Keiichi Tsuchiya still Drift so many different cars. Despite that the Mid Night racing and Touge werent what they used to be compared in the 20th century. However they still are around,in small numbers and secretive.
This video was sooo amazing! I'm a car and racing enthusiast since I know myself, so when I kilcked on this video I was expecting that I will ad some extra info, but not only I didn't have to, I even learnd new stuff as well. This was literaly better then any video a have seen about this topic by proper car channels, whos entire channel is about this stuff. I'm escpecialy glad you put in the effort for the research about the mid night racing team cos' I've also tried it a few times and I know how hard it is to find anything proper in that sea of misinformation. Edit. Tho you maybe could have mentioned Smokey Nagata. He played a major part in popularizing the highway racing with Video Opiton and etc.
I am glad to know that the things I had heard as an American boy in the 90s and 00s that I thought were urban legends turned out to be true. Great video!
as someone who whos kinda around the car scene in Japan, I absolutely am all for and appreciate that you did a good dive on it. Im going to a car show in 千葉県 this weekend, and there were some facts in here that I didnt know, so Imma feel like a real cool fella when I go there. Thanks as always, 兄貴, I MEAN, Aniki hehe
Give Jeremey a break, he might have been harsh on the R32 but he considered the R33 to be one of his favourite cars when it was released. He praised it to no end during his review.
Thank you so much for this video, and thank you for framing with the most deliciously racing soundtrack ever made, every time I hear RR Type4 🏁... I feel like going out, late at night and just cruise until morning
This channel is Gold Aniki i been studying this for a while and not much content on TH-cam but the stuff you can find is amazing like the Sekia Hills documentary
I so miss the old JDM days. I was part of the 80's-90's JDM society and helped introduce our JDM hobby in the states. Back then, it was just us (10-15 JDMs) out there on the roads. I opened my 1st JDM shop in '92 (CCR Accessories Motors), then another one in '93 (Euroasian Racing). It's crazy to see how big/fast the sport has grown/expan, especially after the film "Fast and Furious." Not a fan of the film/franchise.
Mid Night's rule of no-endangering the public or be banned from the group was hypocritical. They endangered the public every time they raced on the streets. At least the other Kanjo groups were well aware of this.
I wish it were not so difficult to find good RWD cars in the States buuuut this video also clearly shows why maybe it is better that it IS so difficult lol
@ 5:36 ... Is that Honda Soo ejected from his car or is that a part of the cars under carriage? I'm watching this on my phone and so the picture's not quite big enough to get a clear view.
Initial D was actually based off a real street racing gang. That's why the details about the cars are so accurate. They just changed the characters identities so they wouldn't get in trouble.
Aniki is one of my fav "Japanese culture" channels. Its hard to find real info about the Japanese underworld throughout history. Its either hidden or glorified.
Awesome doc bout japans street racing scene. You did 4get to mention that dk keichi lost his racing license due to the realease of that movie . The jaf didnt like him promoting illegal street racing ...🤝🤜🤛
The 4wd car u started with is called a Kentucky rounder in south africa..even though we dont have that spec we have the fwd twin cam which was better looking tbh
Sadly this is history. I was lucky enough to grow up in that Era. The future of car enthusiasts is at its twilight only the rich will able to afford to run petrol cars and us normal people are being forced to drive EV's.
What the heck are you going on about? Where do you live that this is happening? Where I live gas is relatively cheap and EVs are for the rich. Theres plenty of fast new cars that run on gas/petrol going around and illegal street racing and amateur track racing is still a thing, theres both gas/petrol and EVs racing.
@bigpahhpi3554 Hahaha, and what "be afraid of this" cesspit did you read that from? I'm sure it was all blaming it on a group you already dont like. Hitting your biases to control you and make you view whatever they want as "the enemy". So, who is "they" anyway? Lets think about this logically- 2030 is barely 5 years from now. Do you understand how hard that would be to completely ban the main method of transportation in that amount of time? The logistics of it would be insane, the economy would collapse. Lets just say "they" wanted to do that. It would take decades. With plenty of warning, buyback programs, rebates on new non gas vehicles and so on. The infrastructure isnt even in place to do such a thing nor does anywhere in the US produce enough electricity or alt fuel sources to make it possible. So please, when you see something like this - use your brain. Think logically.
Can you do something like this about tafheet too? All these japanese things are so hyped but not the arabic ones, I feel like tafheet need more skills than going around mountains and drifting especially when they're modified but tafheet are stock.
I remember when Japanese company AMF bought Harley Davidson and thought it was a good idea to make them lighter with nylon gears. They completely missed the point of the brand and I heard they did try to fix it but it was too late or something. That's why Harleys were called "bowling balls" for a while, AMF is mostly known in the U.S. for bowling balls but they make all kinds of stuff. It was a long time ago so correct me if I'm wrong.
Go back in the 1800-1900.... Japan are one of the biggest military.. they gave jets , submarine , war ships that are. Bigger and advanced in that time...japanese heavy engineering are the best in the world.... even being bombed by nuke.. its takes 50 yrs for japan to be one of the biggest industry. Japanese people are master builders.
Bro says "some of the coolest cars"- Mentions the FKING COROLLA.... -_- . Dude, this car is SO HYPED just because the Initial D!!!! There is like BAMBILLION better japanese cars, wtf...

The Japanese night life culture sounds so fun. Especially in the 80s and 90s, it must’ve been very fun.
Everything was fun during the 80s/90s.
Its still fun now! But its a matter of diggin in a lil to find the good stuff.
There was a surprising amount of denim.
I was a hashiriya rider in the 90s and 2000s.

I still have all of them and my mod converter and spring to play Dragonball z legends and GT lol
100% agree , they got the teams/clubs, mixed with the vibe of scene done very well . They are actually doing a new txr game! Just saw it 2 days ago 👍

Dopest goal to have. Lets take that trip brother!
Not cringe. Thats my goal too once i build a car im proud of
Doesn’t sound cringe at all, I bet it would be an amazing experience
Love the Gran Turismo menu music in the background!
also the ridge racer type 4 too
