The Kanjozoku: Osaka's Infamous Street Racers

Well that was weak. Do keyboard warriors even try anymore? I'm kind of disappointed lol.

LPDarkSoulsHD I thought it was worthy of a solid "psssh"

Maybe. I dunno. It's 2016. I expected a little more out of them I guess.

XD made my day.

home country?

Bastian Bauer Let me just build a track at my house 😂

Hahaha

Lol

Meh

If you have a respectable budget then you wi) go for an actual car and not settle for a tinker toy, yeah civic are great for the money, weight, size, engine displacement, reliability and abuse tolerance, but it ain't no sports or muscle car... civics are for povished teenagers that just got their license nothing more.

Civics are power for almost everyone. It's not like you have to spend thousands of pounds to make 50 extra horsepower

Bossix84 AGAIN, if you have a grown mans budget , , , you'll have more options

+Queef Micester not everyone has a grown man's budget so I think the civic is a good car to get started on.

ここにもいんのか…

どこにでもいるな

アメリカ人として、それはまだ日本で本当にユニークな自動車文化がいかに魅力的であるかです。確かに、東京に住んでいる日本人がオンラインで教えてくれたのですが、日本ではドリフトやレースはそれほど一般的ではなく、少なくとも大都市では多くの日本人が車を運転し、代わりに公共交通機関を利用することもできます。高速で安価なためです。日本政府は自動車の所有に税金を課しており、国の連邦政府も独自の査察を行っています。また、日本の都市を見ると、ほとんどいつも京車が見られるようです。 それでも、日本の自動車文化がここアメリカで足跡を残したことは間違いありません。確かに日本企業の車を中心に、いろんな種類の車がいわゆる「JDM」規格に適合しているのがわかります。ここでは、BMWやフォルクスワーゲンなどのドイツの車がこれらの基準に調整されているのを見たことがあります。 私はJDM自体に夢中になっているとは言いませんが、日本とヨーロッパの両方の自動車文化に多くの称賛を持っています。フォルクスワーゲンゴルフGTIの熱狂的なファンで構成されているオーストリアのヴェルターゼーカーショーをぜひご覧ください。 概して、日本での自動車の状況が西洋人が予想するほどではない場合でも、日本が中国と米国に次ぐ世界第3位の自動車市場を持っていることは注目に値します。

Totally understand your opinion

I totally agree with the part about respecting all Japanese cars, but kanjo primarily inspired the JDM scene elsewhere?? Based on what? One guy in this video? You must not of heard of touge, or real Japanese circuit which in turn inspired Japanese mods.

sheshd Then you didn't understand what the guy was about. Doing what they do or doing Touge is as JDM as it gets. Like he said, they do the Loop because of the Suzuka Circuit, and as You may not know, many of the Japanese cars were originated in Suzuka (mostly Hondas, but not only those), and so it might be originated in the Loop, but the Touges, which are in the mountains, is just another place to do exactly the same thing

+esdrubaldino Do you even read? I never doubted that this is not JDM. I'm saying it's not what primarily inspired it. Also this guy is about preservation of one specific type of racing hence his views are subjective.

sheshd I said PRIMARILY inspired so there is other places around Japan where Japanese modifications are popular but Honda's in Japan are what really allowed for the JDM/USDM field to bloom since it was a cheap, affordable, reliable, gas saving, yet stylish car, therefore, everybody could afford one and really modify it, in addiction, like I said previously, that is how JDM/USDM really grew. I do know what Touge is and yes Touge is most likely the majority of JDM/USDM especially since drifting was introduced within that 'section' so to speak.

sheshd I could ask you the same thing :). Anyway, like Mr.Evo wrote, there's not much left to say.

because most of the people here are raised like shit heads from their shit head parents who are probably shit heads.

Matthew Murtagh Truth.

Yea I love the positivity and the car culture in general, reminds me of Germany a bit

Car enthusiasts are becoming an endangered species in America. It's being over run by dumb ass fan boys. It's a tragedy.

Enjoy the greener grass babies. Just because car culture is also endangered in Japan due to a poor economic status that lasts over two decades and the internet that makes us a couch potato, which makes these guys a rare breed. Growing up in Japan I've been through so much shit in the local community as you folks do in the US too. Yeah we have JDM, anime, sushi, technology whateves there but it doesn't make it a unrealistic heaven on earth you may expect us to be. Sorry to say, that's your illusion. We don't respect each other deep down. Just being told to act prudish in public. Grateful everyone goes crazy over our culture, there's something yet to see behind it. I'd like you to take us as a whole not only the positive side. Are you averting your eyes or it's just invisible?

Do you think a gaijin could attend such an event?

@@st3v3nk3 Yes.

Most people talk shit about civics because the civics like this video are in the minority. 99% of civics are riced out by people who know nothing about cars to begin with.

pegaSus_ not in Calgary, there are some serious builds here. yeah...a LOT of idiots ruin it for the loved/hated little civic and that's a fact

Pan tera true. They have a long and great history here. Dudes have been tearing it up for years👍

I used to have a civic ek9 type r and I talk shit about civic DRIVERS I see them every single day on the highway wanting to race and all this crap because they think their vtec is invincible and can beat every car (I have an sti) and when you beat them in a straight line they talk shit. real racers know their car and don't act stupid but sadly a lot of these people drive civics

I talk shit about shitvics because there slow and don't handle that great and because Honda owners are knobs generally never forget destroying a vtec swapped eg through a tight section of road in my old satria gti(basically a 3dr mirage) when it still had stock suspension all I had done to mine was played with cam and ignition timing they guy came in to work a couple weeks later for a inspection bracing about having a heap of work done to it I just moved my car into the workshop n he shut up another time had a eg owner claim he ran a 12 second pass but somehow he couldn't keep up with my current stock auto Mitsubishi wagon admittedly it does have a tt v6 in it but is completely factory spec lol

I want ! I'm 14 now and i HAVE to move there even if i can't speak the japanese !! I love racing since i was 11.

yass so much

+ahongzbilly I loved racing since I was 8! Im now 10!

dido

in the first while you will have to get used to it. its REALLy diffirent from like Europe and usa. you might even get the chills of how ppl are there. japanese ppl are really to themselves. always apologizing, and 1 HARD RULE!!! NEVER!!!.. NEVER!!! use a cellphone in public transport! its one of the most disrespecting things to do! xD keep it in mind when you go ;3

nimay13 The current skyline isn't even a skyline.

nimay13 i didnt knew there is a current skyline..

RB26DETT agreed. The r35 isn't considered a skyline, just a successor

XxGreenBeXx tell that to younger car enthusiast, they mistaken an R35 a Skyline. Smh

When some guys claimed Mitsu Eclipse is JDM, I died a little inside.

名言

私にとって、ホンダ シビックはこれまでに作られた最高の車です。

You can search for it, but it's in low quality :P

Same. I thought a whole feature would be longer. Since they teased us with 2-4 mins of videos

Totally agree with this. It seemed like there was lots of hype by bigger blogs for this vid so I was kind of hoping to see more. There were a few scenes that would get you excited but mostly a let down.

Agreed!

+Jason Moore I agree brother

Cash in hand waiting LOL

Me too!

same though

I hate you. I'm so jelly.😩 Wahhhhhhhhhhhh!

また日本においで〜

Fredy Rivera Ofc thats for sure crashes will happen, but the aftermath is more important.

No, it's more of a nightlife thing. Racers generally don't like traffic.

They do it very very early in the morning so there isn't a lot of traffic. (Side note: non-native English speaker here - What do you call the very early hours of a day, I mean like 2-4 AM? Here it would be "morning-night" but I don't think that's a real term in English, is it?)

FinRanomness am is morning pm is afternoon /night

Dylan Couch But i don't mean the clock, I mean a word like morning or afternoon or evening.

ikr..I wanna go out and buy a civic beater and throw a fart can on it right now!

+gilbert martinez nice ride bro

Likewise and I have a B6 S4. Let's send our cars over to Japan and meet on the Kanjo. xD

same

Marcus Rhodes let's do it and I drive s C280 Mercedes but from my name you can tell I'm JDM as fuck

日本人が英語喋ってるからでしょうかね

everyone appreciates a properly tuned car even if it's a civic just don't "tune" the car like a ricer

keep it sleeper. or make it drift, break the bumper a little, scratches here and there. make it not too loud, keep it a lil low. and just keep smiling ^^ i have a civic and keep it stock and sweet for the eye. no spoilers or chamber on mine. no loud exhaust. i feel pain inside when i see a ricer.. makes the honda look bad :( while the honda's in general are very good cars. i always get tailgated by audi's and then i feel shit inside, cuz they always get onto me. but i gues its the prize of driving a car you love. i havent met a single VAG car driver being nice to me.. eventhough i always give ppl their way, letting ppl pass, drive calm.. aah well.. whatever i gues :3 ill let the haters hate ^^ atleast i dont have to fix my car every 3 weeks.

also in the phillipines there is too much hate for the civics because most of the drivers only costumized it for the looks and to pick up girls but im just a kid and i would love to have a ek or an eg for a fwd

Leo Cablao same here.. but they do the most weird things making em look stupid -_- makes me wanna puke they do that.. aah well.. i am happy with my civic, and my dad is happy with his civic. well his civic is a wolf in sheep clothing xD

But i think not huge hate for estillo, i love that and its still looks pretty for stance i guess

+Joshua Seda What's the scene still like over there? I built Honda's since the late 90's. I created clubs, hosted meets that brought cars from 6+ states, built hundreds of cars over the years. To see an abundance of Civics...damn...still excites me even though I build other genres these days. You need to start a channel man...shoot that shit.

+RC000E well I just moved back to USA cause when I finished college 8 years ago I studied for aviation and mechanical engineering and so I had a decision to stay in Japan with a nice paying job or go home and get an awesome paying job so I chose the right path and went home but I still have my car a 97' type r hatch but I haven't started it in about 3 months cause I have no time but , I will never forget Japan it was something different a good different you know the car culture over here is very judgemental depending where you are or who you hang out with but in Japan it's beautiful cause nothing over thier is ugly or lame or stupid they don't judge, you roll with what you got and they respect that and trust me over thier honda is huge but yea man its nothing like here I'm gonna go back once I retire no matter what year or age I am ima still be fucking up that loop. haha 💯

how do they not get caught?

J I guess the police there is just noobs

Joshua Seda I would love to interview you some time for a college paper I'm writing on the reltionship of car enthusiasts and law enforcement around the world. Also because that experience sounds dope as hell

For attention. Some people are just dicks like that.

true

Same here!

In the US it instantly turns into somekind of street racing gun fight or a fistfight when you lose

The US sucks. All about having the biggest dick lol or being one..

There are too many honda ricers in US

I think age has a lot to do with it. They even mention in the video they used to fight when they were younger. In the past they were probably fighting for some kind of pride, now they're just glad there are others keeping the tradition alive. Same happens in the US, in high school everyone is trying to be hot shit when it comes to racing, whereas when you get older into your 30's everyone is just glad people came out to an autocross or track day to have someone to drive with and race against. It becomes less about being #1 and more about having a good time.

Different cultures :)

Why so much hate on Honda, because it goes BRAAAP and alotof people rice it ? I dont get it, the civic, and most hondas ,are great and fast cars, with great handling and small engine

'cause stupid people get bored and need something to hate on, plus they get butt hurt when a turbo B16 busts a nut all over their cars with only half their motor.

No turbo 1.4l engine = 140 hp (vtec) + some kind of turbo =300 hp

***** in terms of handling, civics will smash any other FWD older than 2002. Thanks to the DWB suspension and light weight. That's why kanjozuku used them on the loop

Not my stage 1+ Mazda speed 3!

rice cars is shame, but kanjo, its diffrent. kanjo is to be respected, not like rice

soo much better then those assholes ruining the great cars... thats how it should sound.

Exactly

How much bro ? Can i buy it ? Jk

sad you sold it mate. sweet looking cars. ill keep my EK for a long while, it never let me down. reliable and cheap. ill keep it nice and stock. no spoilers for this EK! but look on honda communities, there must be an EF for sale for a good prize! but buy it from a real fan, otherwise you end up buying junk :/ (well thats with all cars)

inky blame Fast and The Furious lol

I’m an American but I would definitely modify a car before I slapped a bunch junk on it

Ignorant ass comment

they actually use stock motors mostly. either stock type r or stock dohc vtec motors. some even run single cams on the loop lol.

100%. We should not let it die.

Kanjo racer in osaka. While in tokyo they race at Wagan. 😁
