Japan street drifting in Daikoku | REAL Tokyo Drift

We are in Japan and more specifically Daikoku PA on tonight's episode of the Drift Games vlog. We landed in Tokyo and immediately went in search of the real life Tokyo drift to see if it still exists in 2023. What we found was an underground scene rarely caught on film. This is Daikoku after dark...

Fun fact about Tokyo Drift: They didn't actually record almost anything in Japan mainly because of the costs. From what I know the Shibuya crossing scene was all CGI.

[@driftgames_life]

We actually googled that and found it mad!

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

Most of it was Los Angeles dressed up as Tokyo cus Justin Lin couldnt get filming permits in Tokyo

[@frostytaco43]

​@the.ghost.behind.u they eventually got caught and they had the big guy from the scene where han sent sean to collect his money, take the fall as the producer, and he spent a night at the police station.

[@Bandana_street]

We didnt ask 4 permits.

[@youravantgarde]

They did film in japan some stuff but had to do it secretly cause yea they couldn't get permission.

[@collycable]

That street drifting footage is next level 👏 like a video game!

[@JB-sv5pr]

Raw no music would have made it next level

[@667morgan]

Insane footage

[@slim_gs3005]

It reminds me of that mid 2000s KZbin video "underground illegal street drifting in Japan" or something like that. I used to watch that over and over again.

[@Mr_jz_12]

@@slim_gs3005 Phat sliggerty!

[@jaredtrwilson]

What was that song?

[@TheConorhudson]

That might be the best piece of Automotive drift videography I have ever seen Lucas

[@dazzanzl]

[@AB-88]

Hats off to the guy bringing you your change! That was the coolest thing in this video.

[@Bensupra]

Insane footage, taste in music, this video deserves a million views !

[@theSanchosen1]

Absolute banger vid! Can't wait to see more of the trip!

[@subilubi6121]

[@SM-Scooby]

So sick! y'all just living the dream out there, love the video. Hey Lucas whats the name of the track used in the "stock footage" edit or is that top secret? lol

[@MrNuddle88]

What a video! Looking forward to the next one! Class

[@RoYaLMarTineZ]

this drift montage you did is really crazy wow those shots from up top but needs more engine sounds tho that is one thing missing for a 10/10 (i subbed liked and shared)

[@driftgames_life]

Unfortunately the drone doesn’t pick up sound that far 😞

[@Ali_Arma]

24:47 thats why Japanese people are great

[@picklediddy]

sweet camera angles and edit. Well done. keep it up

[@SR20VE-]

Pulsar and primera owner here, i got so excited when i saw both of them, such underrated cars

[@SR20VE-]

That N15 pulsar and the P10 primera were so clean 👌 😍

[@Nomisgink]

Loved the video !! Going to be in Tokyo mid December and would love to take my boys for a look at Daikoku ! Any info on getting there as reading stuff on the net is a little confusing 😂 Rent car or Taxi etc !!

[@88Frank]

That street footage was truely unbelievable

[@edfitz21]

Anyone else pause before it was even half way to Google prices for flights to Japan??? 🤌 incredible Content, enjoy every minute Dave

[@apunchinthejeans]

Both thoughs r35s from the start are rentals which is sick

[@jamesmcintyre1343]

The corolla (AE86) had U.S spec bumpers. The length the guy went to get those is amazing lol.

[@02lucy666]

ah, good ol' Oi! amazing video chaps!

[@Barry.ONeill]

@2:15 that was funny Dave 🤣 you should of pointed at the Driftgames logo on your hoody 😂

[@grantmasson5579]

well worth the wait! hope the internet gets better for you lads! Jimmy O must have paid for a better provider!😂

[@driftgames_life]

It just went down in our apartment, more unlucky than anything

[@hi_tech_reptiles]

So cool, those S15s probably stole it for me but def cool car overload lol. Hope you guys have a blast! (A safe blast tho 😁 )

[@bubbywhips]

Insane y’all

[@martinfry9206]

This is simply amazing ... Im back out here in May... gunna re-visit Daikoku ... last time i went the meets got disbursed pretty quick :( ... you got any hook ups out there, il fly my S14 out haha!

[@mattbauman]

The street drifting was super sick.

[@dzzope]

Some of the stuff they get up on the streets is a bit mad (More the street racing than drifting).. Have fun.. Don't die. Can't wait to see the adventures. 🤞 the car makes it through without any major drama. You got plenty of contacts back home to set it right if it does go a little too sideways.

[@cuttersidwell]

Street drifting was mint! Absolutely mad. Saved the video bc I'm having a problem with the frame rate in some other parts of the video. Looks like it was shot in 10 fps.

[@driftgames_life]

It’s just sooo dark in Daikoku

[@mquinn9ate8]

What's the track I.d. for the dnb tune at 19mins 20seconds?

[@lmaodevv]

Albo’s S2000 at 23:25 lmaoo

[@zak6083]

Epic video. Love Japanese culture. If you're still around Yokohama check out Big Bang drift carts. Indoor drift go karts 👌 really good fun.

[@mfelipetc]

Those air drift footages reminded me of GTA (the original). So cool!

[@cj41079]

Drone shot was sick wow ❤❤❤

What's the sound track to the drift footage that you found on the internet 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

[@02lucy666]

and hey, that yellow s2000 should be albos! 23:23

[@tribisnipe7726]

16:57 I had to laugh so hard hahahahah "the following footage was captured by an unknown videographer, at an unknown location, with unknown drivers"

[@CallumCalzar]

What’s the name of the song used during the street drifting bit? So sick! Reminds me of old NFS soundtracks!

[@zerodelay1630]

Sierra in Tokyo, now I have seen everything

[@R19Robbin]

I wanna visit Japan so bad 🔥🔥

[@slim_gs3005]

Same here, I don't think I would come back

[@Crussas]

Hey I'm visiting Tokyo in 2 weeks. Where do I find this and where can I find a spot to drift down a mountain?

[@ShadowFireSyn]

anyone else spot ALBO 's S2000 with the GT windshield sticker?

[@omenncs]

Whats the song during the drifting footage??? Can't find it for the life of me

[@dj27nitro]

The cars are so good I’m screaming at my tv seeing all my dream cars . P.s we care about the Subarus too I saw some nice ones in the back

[@VelEire_]

Love seeing a pulsar, see a few on the roads here over summer Class primera too, 95% of the Irish ones got scrappage schemed for miserable soulless 1.5 diesel qashqui’s 🙈

[@FORDLYFAOTEAROA]

Pretty sure That little N15 pulsar was the Neo ~ Sr18Ve. Still not cheap car in Newzealand even though they werent that rare here before that 2019 drama.

[@noelsims1630]

Awesome you probably bump into @sammit and have a shop look

[@IRLShane]

Ok random question for the production team.... where do you guys get your music from, that you use in the videos? Is it all sample-free and you just find stuff that has a good vibe, or is it cheaply-licensed? Cuz it's obviously not big-name artists but sounds good nonetheless!

[@driftgames_life]

We use a combination of musicbed and Artlist which are subscription based

[@IRLShane]

@@driftgames_life thank you! Sounds great 👍👍

[@user-mx7zw7fn8r]

Chur Bothers, I hope you guys enjoyed our car culture in New Zealand..... I'm an Automotive Photographer and I have seen my fair share of butchered Nissan 350 Z's but Japan has shown over and over that even thou they have some absolutely sick Wide body-kits if they execute a Simple body-kit Build absolutely perfectly its going to be a 10 out of 10 build that will be an absolutely flawless Vehicle that's easily a thousand times better than any Wide body-kit built car and will win awards for best looking car. Plus your not cutting up your brand new car hoping that no-one screwed up measuring leading to poor fitment and a butchered car that's still ugly from a distance.... Have a good one guys shot for the amazing content have a awesome time in the land of JDM Heaven from the us at Slideways Industries LTD in New Zealand

[@SWATA27]

Bandana 🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏

[@jdm2envy]

We will be visiting daikoku in few weeks, what days usually they drift at night😅

[@mrtandemslidessbtt]

Yous should have covered Eastern European street drifting. It started in Japan, it’s been owned by Eastern European

[@driftgames_life]

Covered it in Japan, 😆

[@Streetmetalbkk]

😍

[@the_ram_3466]

no way you are out here i just got off deployment im stationed here in japan diakoku is like 45 min drive for me atleat twice a month i wish i knew youd be out here

[@Brosephu_Brostar]

what's up with the fps in the Dave cam sections? Gives me motion sickness

[@joshuagrimshaw5711]

Insane video!!

[@sanitahofmane2186]

What’s the song for the street scene stock footage? 💽

I saw a line of 8 dark grey convertible mx5’s once I can confirm niche groups exist

[@cyborgsr]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SeanNyte]

That Suzuki Swift at 20:23 almost made me wonder if Sammit and Mae were running around there somewhere... But I'm not sure if she has the white wheels on hers... And then the S2000 with the carbon fiber hood that you're admiring at 23:24 belongs to another awesome KZbinr who goes by Albo... He has some really cool content and it would've been so cool if you had run into him.... I'm pretty sure that he was probably recording some more content for his channel...

[@lmaodevv]

Fellow good content enjoyer 🤝🏽

[@SeanNyte]

@@lmaodevv ... It's a pleasure to meet you, fellow viewer! Hope you're doing well and staying safe!

[@SeanNyte]

@driftgames_life ... You should get in touch with Albo! I bet that he could show you some more parts of Tokyo that you might not have been able to experience... That would definitely be an awesome collaboration video!

[@willotoole4118]

Japanese car culture ❤

[@jessiepryde]

if im not wrong i believe that the yellow s2000 was albos car

[@shahireenbongso6411]

Am I the only one who got NFS Underground vibes from the music and editing?

[@robertzilla3470]

I like the footage from Mexico

[@DamienC89]

2:00 - oh boy oh boy

[@AnthonyBowman]

Jimmy Oakes would nut himself about that red S15 at 21:38

[@user-jz4sy2wn2c]

Those nissan pulsars go hard too

[@Jer_wagon07]

ayo that yellow s2k is albo's or im trippin?

[@CJDRIFTS]

17:09 the real Tokyo drift so sick 👌

[@Austintravismusic]

I really like the content. I think when you are filming vlog style you are using the wrong shutter speed motion blur was distracting. Please don't take this wrong but just for reference your shutter speed should be double your frame rate so 24 fps for cinematic video and 60 for more crisp in focus less blur when showing things. Tht drift scene was 🔥 tho A++

[@scratch1924]

Not sure that's a real Cossie RS500.... The top of the front bumper dips down directly under the grille on an RS500 unlike the standard Cossie, giving it like an extra mini grille opening. This car doesn't have that bumper... It has the pinstripe, and the double rear wing, but it's definitely missing the correct front bumper :)

[@rafaelfujita4050]

Nice video bro, 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@mornayappolis]

No way DoriJunkie is there , I used his drift setups in CarX drift racing😭

[@Mr_jz_12]

Assuming the hotels aren't calling the cops anymore?

[@Turbo_kon]

Street dorifto is dope ❤
