- Get the film at www.choppertown.com/bosozoku - An intimate portrait of Japanese outsiders living on the edge with fascinating documentation of a fading subculture some view as tradition, others as a nuisance. "Sayonara Speed Tribes"!
-------------------------------BIRTH OF A BIKER NATION--------------------------
As Japan reaped the benefits of post WWII reconstruction, it began experiencing growing pains. Once famous for its spartan disciplined austerity, Japan now experienced a surge in violent student protests and rising juvenile delinquency. A yearning for revolt among Japan's youth became a chaotic, yet palpable force. Nightly gatherings of youngsters on motorbikes drawing large crowds of spectators dominated the attention of police and media outlets after the outbreak of several riots that shook the nation. The media and authorities fashioned a new model for delinquency, packaged it for the masses and penned its name in the papers: "Bosozoku".
Bou 暴 means VIOLENT, Sou 走 SPEED and Zoku 族 TRIBE-- SPEED TRIBES. As the frenzy of police and media campaigns against the bikers saturated the Japan's news, the Bosozoku began flashing their outlaw image as a badge of honor. Far from destroying the Bosozoku, intense media coverage became a theatrical spotlight for gangsters who craved fame at all costs.
-------------------------------------KAMIKAZE BIKERS----------------------------
Bosozoku wear tokkofuku (battle uniforms)-nationalistic, kamikaze-themed uniforms designed with gang icons and embroidered with "poetry" in Japanese "kanji" characters. They ride customized, illegally modified bikes with chopped-off mufflers and ignore all traffic laws while evading police cruisers with the deft precision of fighter pilots. For decades they have ruled the streets at midnight, but times are changing fast and now, due to police pressure and shifting cultural trends, Bosozoku numbers are fading fast. For the general public, who typically view them as a nuisance, the decline of the Bosozoku is long overdue, but for Bosozoku enthusiasts, their decline is a bitter farewell to a proud tradition. For many, being a Bosozoku is a one-way journey into the underworld.
---------------------------HAZUKI, BOSOZOKU SUPERSTAR-------------------------------
"Sayonara Speed Tribes" focuses on Hazuki, former leader of the infamous Narushino Specter gang. According to Hazuki, "Once you go Bosozoku, you've turned your back on Japanese society and given up on the idea of a 'normal' life." Much to his dismay, Bosozoku is becoming mostly about fashion and joyriding, a stark contrast to Bosozoku discipline and devotion to the team or gang of his glory days as leader of Specter. Specter once ruled much of Tokyo, but now is isolated to Hazuki's home town. Meetings in tokkofuku jackets and late night kamikaze-style bike runs are becoming things of the past.
Hazuki's only success in life seems to be his fame in the Bosozoku world as star of 'Teens Road,' a series of Bosozoku videos filmed early in the 1990s. Where can he carve a place out for himself in Japanese society?
--------------------------------SAMURAI BIKERS? OR BIKER PUNKS? OR BOTH?---------------------
Whether or not Bosozoku are a legitimate part of 'Japanese' culture is up for debate. "They may not be attractive in the 'Japanese sense' but in their minds they [Bosozoku] are like Samurai with warrior spirit," says Yoshinaga, a documentary photographer who works with Hazuki on magazine shoots documenting some of the few remaining Bosozoku.
-------------------FINAL DAYS OR REVIVAL?-------------------------
The last stand for the bikers, as the Japanese become ever more weary of their antics, takes place in an unlikely location. On the tiny island of Okinawa, often called "Japan's Hawaii," defiant bikers still wear tokkofuku uniforms, arm themselves with baseball bats and taunt police officers; a welcome spectacle for bored kids who loiter along highways in the hopes of catching some action. This is a taste of the Bosozoku scene circa the 1970s. As sociologist Uchikoshi Masayuki puts it, "When they joyride at the main intersections and fight the police they are the heroes and the police are supporting actors."
The film includes commentary on the Bosozoku from the NPA (National Police Agency), author Sato Ikuya ("Kamikaze Biker") and the general public.
"SAYONARA SPEED TRIBES" offers a fascinating narrative and documents the decline of one of Japan's most colorful and controversial sub-cultures.

Its kinda cool to think that the author of Tokyo Revengers was one of these guys in his early days . . .
or he Is Takemicchi in that time ... or now
@@pradinobr 😂
Yeeeppp the maker of tokyo revengers is part of the gang call BLACK EMPERORS
@@richardruiz3127 nope it's a fake news bro
@@richardruiz3127 no it is not lmao, y'all swallow everything internet says when it's Tokyo revengers what we are talking about
Reminds me of the anime “Great Teacher Onizuka”❤️❤️❤️
more like its prequel Shonan Junai Gumi
I came here because of Shonan Junai Gumi
then you’d like tokyo revengers
@@lexxx89 yes❤️
Klk
Deliquents then: *Draken, Mikey and Takemitchy*
Deliquents now: *Kiyomasa*
lol
Lol kiyomasa is the most realistic deliquent in tokrev
The others is just wannabe
Well the 90s didn't have to much activity these are from earlier
When I lived in Japan these guys were everywhere. I didnt know what the heck i was seeing the bikes and riders looked like dudes that just rolled out of the bath spa robes and all with these crazy looking bikes.. One of my friends told me thats the bike clubs.. I was like what???? Ya I ran into these guys all the time flashing me there tattoos trying to start fights. I was like okay kampai to you too!
in the 90s?
Japan is crazy! I heard about bosozoku in GTO but thought it was a joke
***** cant find it wtf?
Hey... America is worst I know. All the lambos...
ya... i know it....What i see in GTO is a real history
@@STFU768 anime great teacher onizuka
For me I first heard about them in Akira
0:17 he is so badass he forgot he was boxing
I think that is muay thai
what is the music called that the bikes make when the rev the throttles on bosozoku bikes. They all do the same song?
its certain calls based on the bike you ride like call of the zephyr stuff like that
Ichiban Moto different tunes are used by different gangs/clubs. they don't all use the same song, but it's all variations on a similar theme.
don't know if there's a name for the revving other than 'bosozoku revving'
@@Duskworker it's called コール (call)
@@Duskworker it's called "call" or "calling" some bikes have their own tunes, like for example the CBX400F or GSX250E
@@daten__ I honestly thought they were revving just to be louder and make more noise - it's cool to know now that it's really a call. Is that how they signal 'it's time to ride' to other members nearby?
好きな編集の感じ。いいね！
If all you get from leaving a Yakuza gang is a beat down that's considerably more reasonable than a lot of North American criminal gangs. You leave them when you're in the ground.
@ScrapperNoHand not all of them.please be more matured dude😒
@@therealguy5424 and not all of the people that leave the yakuza are still alive so what are you arguing
@@ForestGreenSharpie Probably arguing that this guy is trying to make one type of gang sound better than another when in reality they're both bad and you often lose your life in both. It can also be seen as the dude trying to make Japan sound better than it is. The comment was 6 years old when he replied though so it was kinda dumb either way.
I like them because they always help people when my car was brokedown....
I know everyone talk about Tokyo Revengers when the Bosozoku thing is brought up, but we can see that Wakui also heavily inspired himelf from Crows Zero/High & Low franchise as well
しびれるね。こういう時代に生まれたかった
@Noise Control not that easy.
It's all Mikey's fault 😹
これくらいの時代、何もかもジーンとくるいい時代！
懐かしい…😅退団の仕方。チーム全員から殴られる❗あったな…😵
1:07 fun fact: he eventually got out of that life and started a band to pay off his debts. About a decade after their formation, they gained international recognition and built a small but devout following in the West. The band is called Dir En Grey, in which he is the vocalist.
The popular mufflers for their reckless travelers are Yoshimura and Moriwaki are famous in the racing industry
Looks Epic
Tokyo Revengers is Real 🗿
you just knew that?😅
the writer was part of the bosozoku when he was a kid
Yeh He was also able to travel
your dumbass just knew that
i have a japanese friend and he says that there are only few of them right now,
and he said that some famous group are already gone
his uncle are also bosozoku or lets say ex bosozoku and his uncle
never regreted to be one of them because they enjoy it even they are
hurting or fighting each other as long as they can feel that they are free
they enjoy it because most of bosozoku are not good in school and
if you are not that good some people will look at you like a trash thats
why they act like that actually at first i hate people who act like that but when my
friends uncle told his story i was like wow and normally at school there
are students who are really treated like that and they end up commiting suicide
so i think being a bosozoku is not that bad at all because like as they say
"Being alone are much more painful than being beat up"
sorry if my english are bad hahaha xD
Well, at least they try living in a very crazy and exciting life rather than killing themselves so yeah. If Bosozoku is all about just ride with very loud engines roaring and ride along with your brothers numbers ranging from 50 to 100, I would happily join one! ^^
yo is that quote from tokyo revengers??
Just like crows Zero 'life as a crows'
@@juztinematic1567 bruh, no
@@wills.junks7 huh?
気合いが入っててみんなかっきー
directly or indirectly Yakuza recruits. Full body tattoos means your in for life.
Well, maybe you can leave if you let your finger to Oyabun like him 1:04. lol
They are not Yakuzas🤦♀😭 u foreigner
What song is this??? I want it!
Fun fact: the tokyo revenger manga is based on the one of the member of bosozoku. yup the mangaka i mean
it's really cool and I'm inspired to make a gang
thats good
the point of bosozoku is not to ride in high speed. so they probably wont give you a shat. lol
How do you call this song/this kind of music?
puppetmasta koto i think....
Touman?
Yeah clothes are same
No
isn't that the guy from the vice video on the bosozuku?
what is the song?
One of them destroyed the legendary midnight angel
I also heard that he fought 100 men in an arm wrestling match and won. I think he is called Onazuka or something like that.
Kinda cool but the gang is lost now Right?
whats the background song? :D
Does anyone know the song?
いいねぇー！
This reminds me of Tokyo revenger
BGMかっけぇww
Whats the name of the song? anyone knows?
I think it's shamisen
@@artupaysivar6884 That's the name of the instrument
もうこんな暴走族はほとんどいない。80年代頃までリーゼントなんてのは流行してたけど90年代以降はファッション流行の関係で暴走族もかなり減っているし、まだ多少はいるが、特攻服をきて他のチームと喧嘩したりするなんてことは滅多になくなった。
嘘でしょ……
八王子バリバリ抗争してるよ……
ハルトンゴヅカヅカ
止めてこい
亀田ズンピ あそこバックにヤクザいるって噂だし、この前も敵対する族を車で引いて大騒ぎになってたよ
Cool...
昔の方がええね
うん、ダサいよね
This groups became soft and generally non-violent around the 90s. Back in the 70s and 80s they were really involved in the organized crime and committed many cases of drug trafficking, arson and murder. They were constantly involved in fights with other biker groups too.

Ya. Both of you watched the same documentary from vice. Great job!!
@@frockk ey boss

Belum tau Toman?
このようなギャングをどうやって結成すればいいのでしょうか ?
俺がやってた時は隣町や他県の学校に乗り込んでグループで番格張ってる方と怠慢して傘下に入れたり族とかギャングで1番強い人と怠慢して倒して傘下に入れたりですね！
やり方は皆それぞれ違うと思いますが結成するには時間・人脈・力・根性が必要です！
Use to watch them off Kadena air base out gate 2 street from the over pass in Okinawa back in the early 90s. Was pretty exciting until the JPs showed up. JPs don’t play😂
Bozo we use to call them they’d stop traffic, raving their bikes, hitting cars with there sticks it was crazy
Igssooo tomaan!!
ドキュメンタリーww
暴走族なんて古すぎ。消えてなくなればいいですね。時代は令和ですよ。
A comunidade Brasileira botou no cool destes Japas doidão....

Failed life choices

It reminds me on Tokyo revengers
Hi, I'm from Indonesia, there are also a lot of motorcycle gangs here whose job is disgusting, their only job is to cause harm to other people, stabbing for no reason and stabbing someone is really stupid.
