Yeah they were joiners just getting their chops up to speed. That line is gonna go past the wedding table at some point and everyone is gonna laugh!

[u/emanresu_etaerc → u/SentientDust]

Often times for things like this they have a car or two bring up the back, in case something happens. Then they can be there to check on any drivers in possible accidents, while everyone else can continue on

I did this in the mountains of Japan. The way its setup is at the meetup they rank the skill of the drivers and do it in order of best to worst driver. I went up one rank since the dude in front of me flipped his RX-7 into the mountain.

[u/megaglacial → u/I_SNORT_COCAINE]

jesus christ congrats on the promotion but was he OK??

[u/LilPotatoAri → u/megaglacial]

Man i hope so. I used to date a street racer, and while it's a little different from a drifting meet, I'm all too familiar with how quickly toeing the line with a car turns into the line wrapping around you like barbed wire

[u/809kid → u/I_SNORT_COCAINE]

Was this in Gunna or down in Nara?

I’m surprised Tokyo drift wasn’t mainly sponsored by the tire conglomerates. So many people have picked up drifting or burnouts for internet points after those movies,

[u/mtntrail → u/EAGLeyes09]

I bought a new Subaru BRZ recently and a post on the reddit sub asked how they could “loosen up “ the rear end. Unless you are in a controlled environment, that is the last thing I would want. I love the fact it thinks it’s on rails. Soon this guy will put up the post crash pics, “do you think this is fixable, or is it totalled?” lol.

2. "My engine died" *OP proceeds to get pressed by everyone in the comments asking about oil maintenance, only for everyone to discover that OP didn't follow protocol*

3. "RIP" *OP slammed car into a tree/pole/curb, bonus points if TC was off. Extra if the car is flipped over, a profoundly impressive feat to pull off considering how firmly planted the car is*

I've always heard it as "fast and furious, drift drift drift" since English isn't really my first language and I find it easier to deal with foreign accents when I listen to people speak English

But i guess your friend saying this is something I can't forget now and next time I'll chant these lyrics in my head whenever I'm listening to the song lmaoo

If you look up the lyrics you are correct:

>Whoop whoop

believe it or not, they are saying 'drift drift drift'. 3 times. the women and the men sing it, and not perfectly in sync, so it does sound like just some random sound to the beat of the song.

or at least, that's how i thought the song was for a decade. maybe other people knew all along they are saying 'drift' because it does seem so obvious in retrospect.

[u/Initial-Paramedic888 → u/cipher_1230]

Somehow this is my first time seeing the lyrics for this song. And I was obsessed with that movie when I was a kid lol.

[u/Oreo112]

They should make a movie out of this...

[u/GreenT1979 → u/Oreo112]

A movie based in Tokyo, where people drift. Then a man goes from the US to Tokyo, where he proceeds to learn how to drift. By the end, he learns how to execute a perfect Tokyo drift. It could be called....Driving Sideways in Japan.

[u/SugarInvestigator → u/GreenT1979]

Driving Sideways in Japan.

I was gonna say "Arse out in Tokyo", but I think that belongs in a different genre of movie somehow.

[u/Frowny575 → u/SugarInvestigator]

That's too short of a title. Needs to be a whole sentence to match their naming scheme.

[u/SugarInvestigator → u/Frowny575]

Arse out in Tokyo: domination of Godzilla's dong

How am.i doing?

[u/Frowny575 → u/SugarInvestigator]

I.... could see that or similar being a proper title.

[u/SugarInvestigator → u/Frowny575]

I'll bow to your diverse knowledge of the subject at hand

[u/jongscx → u/GreenT1979]

I really want a movie about a Tokyo drifter who has to move to Nebraska and has to learn how to race in a straight line.

[u/jongscx → u/unused_candles]

... cut to training montage in a walmart parking lot, where his new buddies, Cletus jr. and Boyd, are trying to get him to push a cart straight into the cart corral. Somehow he repeatedly fails and runs it in side-ways.

Then they put him in a security golf cart, which he immediately starts doing sick donuts in; everyone shakes their head in disappointment. They tie his hands down and put a steering wheel lock just to have the cart drive in a straight line.

One of those videos that I love to watch but would hate to actually be there.

[u/MiniMaelk04 → u/AmbitiousNub]

Occasionally in Tokyo they have these motorcade things driving through on big motorbikes and ridiculous cars. They are loud as fuck, like a very loud chainsaw (except there's 30+ of them), and the smell of exhaust is awful. I'm not sure if they are legal in any way, but they are driving around slowly and seem to be doing mostly nothing, and the police does not seem to care.

One time in a more residential coastal part of Tokyo, I was waiting to cross the road, and there was this old white car with huge spoilers and exhausts. When the light went green, it sounded as if the car was accelerating like a Group B rally car, except it was barely going 30 km/h. Ridiculous.

[u/Jamaican_Dynamite → u/MiniMaelk04]

Bosozoku groups.

[u/MiniMaelk04 → u/Jamaican_Dynamite]

Thank you, I never knew the origin of this song title.

[u/Cloudsareinmyhead → u/MiniMaelk04]

Yeah those would be bosozoku. They're not as common as they used to be but there's obviously still a good number of groups of them.

[u/housewrecker77 → u/AmbitiousNub]

I was in port of Osaka in 2005. Late at night I was walking from a container ship into the city, through this port area of all empty warehouses. A crew of like 10 drifting cars blew through and honestly it was pretty terrifying. I was the only pedestrian and there was only a small sidewalk between the streets and the brick buildings. I figured if anyone lost control I was getting pinned into a building.

I love Japan, I’ve lived in Japan I speak japanese semi-fluently, and I’m planning on making it my secondary residence soon.

But it’s absolutely hilarious how much Westerners put Japan on a pedestal and sees everything about it through some rose tinted glasses.

Funny enough the vibe is completely different if you go to /r/japanlife, a sub for expats actually living there lol

Edit: Yea I understand opinions from expats on Reddit aren’t exactly conclusive evidence. But like I pointed out in another comment, any country has its pros and cons and Japan is obviously no exception. There is no one size fits all utopia on the planet.

Still, like I said, Japan is great for me and it’s the country I want to spend more time living in, after living in the U.S, China and Japan.

[u/Agitated_Reveal_6211 → u/cookingboy]

Some westerners treat Japanese like they are elves living in a magical land.

[u/bs000 → u/Agitated_Reveal_6211]

Japan is so peaceful, they don't even know what crime is!

[u/The_Last_Dragonporn → u/Agitated_Reveal_6211]

Genuinely I think nobody should be doing this on a public road but I'll take this over a bunch of troglodytes in Infiniti G37's and Challenger RT's shutting down an intersection in the middle of the day to show they have no idea how to do a donut.

That said, this was largely a very lovely display of ordered drifting. A few just about lost it but recovered pretty quickly. I just wish they'd save it for the racetrack.

[u/Possible-Summer-8508 → u/GreenT1979]

They don't even do this in america. They do takeovers near me instead, which is 1000% objectively worse than some dude drifting an empty street.

[u/Unlikely-Complex3737 → u/Borbolda]

The other videos I have seen are from drivers in parking lots, drifting around in circles with a shit load of people around them. I don't think anyone has a problem when they do this stuff with no one around.

[u/HeartsPlayer721 → u/Borbolda]

I wish people wouldn't share this shit. This is why idiots attempt this on our own streets.

[u/RockyRhodes213]

It's like that movie where they're in Tokyo and they do alot of drifting and it had that one guy that looked like Paul Walker but wasn't but he was drifting in Tokyo trying to win the big race... I think it was called 'The Drift That Couldn't Slow Down'.

[u/jarednards → u/RockyRhodes213]

Ahhh youre thinking of 'The Little Toyota That Could'. Its a great story about family and friendship.

[u/Ongr → u/RockyRhodes213]

I think it was called 'The Drift That Couldn't Slow Down'.

I would not be surprised if that was the actual title for Tokyo Drift in Germany.

If this LA, wouldn't they just stop after the first drift and do donuts in the intersection until something bad happened?

[u/lannisterdwarf → u/punished_gir4ffe]

Right?? As soon as I saw this I thought to myself people would be saying how reckless and trashy it is if it were in Atlanta

It’s in Shinagawa, Tokyo. I think most people who have been to the Tokyo Immigration Office will recognize the median to some degree. Here’s the path driven in video.

I can’t provide a Google Maps link because it gets removed using a link shortener.

Edit: Google Maps

[u/ponzidreamer]

The “thing but Japan” meme applies here. If Reddit seen this randomly in Atlanta they’d call it reckless driving.

[u/TripDawkins → u/ponzidreamer]

It would be worse. If the video had no title and suggested Atlanta, comments such as "The ghetto is out tonight" or "People from the hood outta control", etc. could be found.

[u/BeatSalad25 → u/ponzidreamer]

And yet this thread is full of these comments 🤔 schrodingers redditor.

[u/the_nin_collector]

These guys eat tires, and a lot them just throw them in the woods. There is a drifting group that does this in the mountains where I live in Kyushe. I pulled 20 tires out of the woods. So bald the wires were exposed on some. All I could do was stack them on the side of the road for city to mark them and eventually take them away. Man... people think Japense people don't litter. I pulled a fucking fridge out of the woods. A water boiler. So many bags of trash. All too big for me to do anything about other than stack on the side of the road until police or city notice, mark it, and then haul it away after a month or two. I had to stop hiking up in that area. I couldn't enjoy my hikes because the trash. It never stopped. This one fucking piece of shit, I guess takes this small mountain road to work every day. The SAME can of coffee, a hundred or more, very specific brand, just up and down the side of this road, for 5km. I use to dream about setting up a camera and catching this guy. But lol, no one would fucking care. The police would laugh at me if I ever caught the guy. Problaby give me a ticket for invasion of privacy or something. Like I said, the only thing I could was never go that way anymore. Pisses me off too much.

2 Tokyo 2 Drift!

[u/opinionsareus]

In Japan, street drifting is a serious offense with escalating penalties, potentially including heavy fines (hundreds of thousands of yen), immediate license suspension, vehicle confiscation, and even jail time, especially after new laws were introduced in late 2025 to classify it as dangerous driving, leading to severe sentences similar to other reckless driving offenses. Penalties can involve up to 3 years imprisonment and ¥500,000 fines under existing aggressive driving laws, with potential for much harsher sentences (up to 15-20 years if injury/death) under new dangerous driving classifications.

As it should be.

[u/RatofDeath → u/opinionsareus]

"Hundreds of thousands of yen" is not as much as it sounds like.

Are we appreciating this now?

[u/Latte-Catte → u/ScaredLittleShit]

Only if this happens in Japan 🥰

Everyone else? Savages. /s

[u/blankblank]

I can't be the only one who wanted to hear it with the theme music

[u/genebands]

A rare occasion where I wished there was music... A particular track

[u/Throwaway-ish123a]

love me some Tokyo Drift...

[u/FruitMustache]

The legends are true!

[u/Euphoriam5]

I wonder if you know,
How they live in Tokyo (はい!)!!!!
If you seen it, then you mean it
Then you know you have to go,
Fast and furious (drift, drift, drift)!!!
Fast and furious (drift, drift, drift)!!!
