The tuning scene in Japan has change a lot since the third installment of The Fast And The Furious franchise, Tokyo Drift, hit the screens. A whole lot.
The era of excessive modified automobiles, sporting eye-poking, asphalt-scraping styling accessories is long gone – even though some Japanese tuner still prefer the eccentric approach. Now it’s more about style, simple mods and respect for aging, iconic automobiles…. more or less.
As a matter of fact, this video perfectly depicts the modern car culture in Japan and, most importantly, its diversity. You can find anything from muscle cars, domestic models, high-end supercars and everything in between and, to top it off, even the modding culture is mixed. So, if you’re looking for your daily automotive overload, this is a great way to start eyeballing stanced, clean or high-powered cars.
Moreover, the fact that Teriyaki Boyz’s well-known “Tokyo Drift” song is playing on the background, the footage is even more shocking, as you’d expect to see neon-decorated cars all over the place.
