- We all watched the OGs of the drift world on video option DVDs at D1GP back in the day. But what happened to all their iconic cars and the drivers from D1GP themselves. On our last night in Japan we decided to go check out the legendary Kunnyz and meet Kuniaki Takahashi the legend of the street and D1GP. We hope you guys enjoyed our coverage from Japan this year!

Them street drifting clips unlocked a core memory, The amount of times i used to watch them is unhealthy
same here :D
The JDM Insider series was literally my bedtime story I'd fall asleep watching them every night for years. Been following them since 2003. I owe so much to Toshi Hayama and Takahiro Ueno. Actually had quite a few conversations with Toshi he's a super nice guy n so down to earth
Those JDM Insider documentaries with Toshi and the gang were awesome. The memories man!!
12:10…. Man, this whole monologue from Ryu actually had me emotional!
I just love how humble these guys are they literally dont know that people all over the world love them and there history
How cool is all of the old-school D1GP stuff. Unreal dave unreal
I still watch jdm insiders today so nostalgic
This has been an amazing series, probably the best mini series yet from Drift Games. Looking forward to 2024
Easily my favourite video from your Japan trip. As others have said these guys are so humble and have little or no idea how much they have inspired the rest of the world, we have drifting because of guys like this, simple as.
They at least could have showed their praise by simple bow, all they did was dishonor mr.takahashi by handshake.
Crazy he has been drifting as long as I have been alive. I'll never forget the 1st time I got to see him drift in person. Thanks for adding the footage of Hirota's Verossa. He is the reason I now own a Verossa.
To say that driftgames gang are legends is understatement!
Production is amazing,
Entertainment is 💯.
Who could have thought that few Irish lads, an English man and a Lithuanian can be so entertaining to watch 🤣
Stay humble and keep having fun!
🤙🤙🤙
These Garage tours across the Globe you guys bring to Us watching is just Superb.I enjoy watching every moment.Thank you DriftGames
My favorite D1GP car of all time right there, legendary chassis.
Takahashi-san "City boy" is the reason why I absolutely LOVE the GRS131 Mark X. I have been wanting to import one since 2014! The Mark X is actually based on the Lexus GS platform like the IS, so they share a lot of similar components. Definitely unlocked a core memory seeing those old Nightwalkers street videos, I used to obsess over going to Japan as a kid, definitely have reinvigorated that desire for sure.
Drift Games another epic vid you guys are on another level and the japan content puts it over the top so sick keep up the great work 👍
That's right they started as the "Nine Walkers " 9 4 door cars all painted that same colour then some left so they changed their name to "Night walkers" I've a few old dvd's of them inc jdm Insider etc think the sexy knights are in there too ❤
Great info man!
Would love to see them 😍😍😍
Can’t get enough of these Japan videos😂amazing video
This is some really emotional stuff for some reason,what an amazing content!!
I think there needs to be a series of visiting all the old legends of drifting in Japan,such a great way to look back and see how it was done and how it all began!!
Loved the Japan videos! Looking forward to seeing what craziness you guys get up to in 2024
So happy for you Dave what an amazing trip for and us, drift games did goooooood 👌👌👌
Finaly got time to sit and enjoy this..
Awesome.. Please say you are doing it again next year.. More ebisu, more streets and way more shops. Even just random normal guy shops, with a lil stash of a few nice things rather than the legends you featured through the past few vids. (Though no-one wil complain if you can just feature top tier drift/racing/building names)
Moar Japan Plz, as much as schedule and budget (and your own spirit/sanity from being away from home so much) allows. Such great vids.
Unbelievable video, first half just had me, second half was usual shenanigans, but the first half was special
@15:48 He was so close to clipping that car 😅 Real but pucker moment I'd bet 😅
never seen that footage b4 well done Lucas cause ive seen alot of old Japanese drifting i used to sit up late as a kid on the desktop computer watching evey video on Rally or drifting i could find like one example I thing i know ive seen every vtec mini video that exists on the Internet 😂
Really enjoyed these interviews/showcases.
You guys are the real legends.
I've been watching drift games for years since way before games changers and Dave had at one point a white E36 that was super charged the videos just keep getting better it's really nice to see it grow literally doing stuff I dream of doing all the best to you guys look forward to seeing what happens next year 💪
❤️
It was seeing Kunny’z in those old streeto videos that got me into drifting. The guy is a living legend along with Ueno from T&E.
Great work Dave, really loved watching all of this content from Japan. Good job 👍🏼
Such a great vlog. I enjoyed it 🤩👍
Take care ✌️😎
🇮🇪X🇯🇵 it’s always a good time with drift games!
Had anxiety that the 'we move like gangsters' song was going to come out at the end and destroy the edit but you pulled through! Such a great video interviewing some of the legends.
😂😂😂😂 sorry about that…
absolutely delight for the lads well deserved lads congrats 😁 is that the new drift games logo on the livery 😂
Best video by far for sure the culture all coming together with the same story

Loved this series!
Remember Kuni driving in Mondello in Do Luck 350z and Top Secret S15 with Ken Nomura for D1gp Demo at D1irl maybe 2005
If you see this car fly past in the flesh, you won't believe just how fast these guys are enter the corners...insane...
I really want to go to Japan after watching these videos. Can’t wait to see 2024 plans in action
The S14 at the end , i paused the video just to admire it

Ryu needs to go to Ireland and drift at Mondello Park
AHHH the JDM Insider Vol.2 DVD that was my shit when I was growing up. I bought it back in 2004 n that's where I found the Jzz30 Soarer n fell in love with it n Car Make T&E/Vertex. N watching Kunny thrashing that Chaser with Takahiro Ueno in his Soarer n Hirota in his Verossa. I wanted u to go to Sui•Vax so badly but this is a treat nonetheless
Tell me more about Sui-Vax, Ill organise for next trip maybe 🫡
tokyo auto salon is only few weeks away, are you heading back? see you there if you are!

🇯🇲Mark X
The regulation needs to go back to how it was. You have no idea the amount of drama that was going on from 2000-2005 because of Americans drifting. Getting that sticker is a big deal. Not drifting on the streets..pssh.. sell outs
yes!
🙂❄🇮🇪☃️

Here early
No views except me 🥹🫶
