Literally better than formula drift any day

[@datutturugang666]

beating a dead horse, fd is the embodiment of american car culture, loud, flashy, unrefined, coarse. drivers just slam the throttle and call it a day

[@louie2592]

2000's Japan was the best era of drifting

[@DriftmanX]

Agree. 500%

[@renz1013]

I agree. actually not just japan but for the world. I'm looking at you bentmafkfilms

[@MrTahrik]

Facts 💯

[@calltheambalamm]

ditto

[@naokinakamuratechniquestud226]

It was good but I still strongly believe that culture of hard driving and pure fun has still been kept well at meihan.. Ither parts of the world oh well.. But meihan has done well in preserving its style and culture

[@xyanide1986]

Really makes me appreciate how good recordings/gear have gotten over the years. The audio and video quality we get from you is nuts.

[@LaurenceJanus]

The main camera was a Sony DSR-PD170, the fixed and in-car footage was shot on a Canon MVX20i…

[@akaiuwu]

@@LaurenceJanus the pd170 was objectively good, and he's using the internal mic instead of one of the xlr connected ones, it was one of the best non-broadcast SD cameras, what cropping to 16:9 and removing half the recorded lines to get 30fps instead of 60i and not deinterlacing properly is whats wrecking the quality

[@LaurenceJanus]

@@akaiuwu Is the sound bad, my ears aren't great, but I was definitely was recording this audio with the XLR mic connected, but it was using auto gain. It was shot as 16:9 PAL 50i, so it converting it to 1080P25 is definitely pushing the footage

[@daedalus_20v]

The fixed camera really gives you a sense of the speed and how much mid-corner "adjustments" are being made. I have more respect now for the drivers that make it look buttery smooth.

[@s70driver2005]

It actually looks like it's slightly sped up. Like 1.25x

[@Uglier.]

All the OG body kits and parts 😭

[@LRSNRCNG309]

Pretty much the golden era of drifting

[@kamanmartin1575]

S13‘s for 1.5k

[@junglistmassiv]

so many legendary drivers in one video

[@PhantomBuster]

Funny how despite being from 15 years ago, the models of car being driven here are pretty much the same as the ones being driven on track today in your videos !

[@spiritlevelstudios]

Love the black roofs and stock steering angle.

[@user-or9ey2ld6s]

I love seeing old footage like this. The video quality alone brings this certain feeling. Makes you nostalgic for the 00s, crazy.

[@AT-sf3wq]

I wish every countries car scene was this friendly. The guys cheering at the long Left onto the straight are awesome. Everyone just happy to be there and having a blast. Here in the UK you could guarantee some Tracksuit Clad fresh faced lad in a Financed Merc would be jumping out and threatening everyone 😂 Thanks Noriyaro as always for some epic content!

[@desu250]

2007-8 was the last year of retro drifting, low angle, and bolt on parts hell

[@trolleyracingmaster7075]

Yep now its big hp fully competitive spec cars that don’t even drift they just do burnouts sideways lmao. This drifting is a beautiful display of balance

[@emanh4keem_san420]

@@trolleyracingmaster7075 and they called it professional drifting,low hp cars more sketchy

[@DWAYNE-WORLD]

we need you to get a time machine and just keep bringing these out!!!

[@SLiguykyle]

this was peak drifting

[@flipsilog_Gaming]

love watching your old videos.. hope you got some more to share.

[@oli1658]

Wish I could have experienced 2000s car culture in America or Japan. Seemed so much more chill

[@vicolossal]

I love how most of them dont use the handbrake and keep a drift that clean, so good to watch

[@kempinenPC]

funny that back in the days drifting was about sliding, NOT POWER SLIDING. nowadays everyone wants to put a 500hp+ engine, huge wheels with super sticky tyres and all that expensive stuff. it's mostly spread in the US where drifting is about a show with lots of smoke.

[@Uglier.]

Style > Performance

[@Andrew_460]

Well it depends if youre drifting for fun or in a drift competition or drift demo. If youre trying to impress the crowd and judges you need lots of tire smoke speed and angle. To achieve that you need sticky tires lots of hp and suspension that can handle it. If youre just drifting for fun then you dont need any of that.

[@DWAYNE-WORLD]

Im on the edge of my seat watching these solo runs!!!! oh my god!!!

[@patrick_gingras]

The triples are so crazy lol

[@User-md3ul]

the ceremony is gold

[@inertiaMS]

I love watching this era, i'm not going to be as bold to say it's better or worse than today, but crazy nostalgic.

[@naokinakamuratechniquestud226]

Good show

[@noobitski700]

Woah alexi you got some old vid way back in the day

[@nanashi8686]

it’s crazy how shallow people ran the main corner in comparison to today

[@edumacted]

they didn't have that b-knuckle back then

[@snooz510]

It's crazy how good they are without the fancy knuckles

[@JDMism]

@@snooz510 they also have waaaay less power and less grippy tires

[@kibalicious]

Love old vids

[@codeninja100]

Really love these time capsule videos of early 2000s Japan. The first one you posted a few months back is probably my favorite video on KZbin. Seriously

[@uber_stuber]

one of my fav Japanese tracks used for drifting. that straight away into the tight turn is so intense

[@buckorooster]

Such a cool angle

[@FORDLYFAOTEAROA]

So elite,hope these videos never get lost in the matrix 🤣

[@chillgasm]

this is gold. ty for this.

[@ThrashRacing]

It’s called TD06

[@allineediz1mike]

This made my night. Can't thank you enough for posting this.

[@twizzy8783]

And i was JUST rewatching your other 2007 video wow

[@NekoSoophie]

I absolutely love these throwback videos, really was the best time for drifting.

[@laniemon]

Nice blast from the past

[@junkmailjunkmaigmail]

This is so good, I didn't have enough internet and even pc time to see this when it was happening, back then I only had a single DVD with random car videos bundled together by my cousin. There was a video off of some kind of drift matsuri featuring Team Orange cars doing manji between promo girls, champagne colored sil86 cabrio with chrome eurolines and black r32. Also was that Naoki Nakamura in white s13 with purple decals?

[@JDMism]

Yes, it was Nakamura I guess your DVD was of the “Big X” event?

[@gluee8674]

naoki was psycho behind the wheel

[@leehrvyoswld]

~good vibes~

[@dillondavis4996]

Sooooo many cool cars...... Imagine if events today were this cool

[@yokomuki8634]

Love seeing the hype the 2nd to 3rd gear corner building up for the straight.. I'd write my car off lol

[@F77j]

The STYLE was so much better than today. (Or am I nostalgic?)

[@junglistmassiv]

no its truth

[@LifeofBrad1]

I was 13 in 07. I remember spending my mornings watching videos like this with Dogfight playing over the top of them while I ate my bowl of cereal. Everything felt so carefree back in those days. I'm trying to relive that vibe, but it's difficult with the way people are nowadays.

[@0riginalkiyoshi]

Before street drift cars were sequential, hydro hand brake, 700+whp!

[@GundamAeroMx5]

They still aren’t lol

[@kshysztof9649]

I mean they still send it pretty much the same way on C Course every weekend

[@ferrononferro3941]

This is so sick. Thanks for posting all this footage!! What was this shot on? looks like Sony VX1000 quality. Love the vibe, reminds me of the video quality in skate videos.

It was shot on my Sony DSR-PD170 which is basically the pro version of the DCR-VX1000

[@FRIEDWINGZ17]

@@JDMism Oh that's cool. Just looked it up and it really does just look like a VX2/VX21 with a different handle and mic. Thanks for the response.

[@FRIEDWINGZ17]

@@JDMism thanks. I can only do this w VX/SD stuff though, when it comes to HD i have no clue what im looking at haha. It helps that all the skateboarding videos back in the day were filmed with VX’s so i have that 4:3 grainy SD quality imprinted in my brain i guess haha

Don't care what people say. The SR20 sounds really good!

[@thatcandont]

In my opinion, the golden age of drifting is 2001-2004. But the golden age of sim drifting was 2010-2013 lol.

[@EMERIC4N]

how much were those s13s then, i wish i could have one

[@JK061996]

I've been there many times... in Assetto Corsa. By the way what's the reason behind all those mirrored liveries on the right-hand side of cars? Was it simply cheaper to make two copies of the same model?

[@JDMism]

It’s the same reason the American flag is backwards on one arm of US soldiers.

[@treeman001]

can anyone ID the bronze 5 spokes on the rear of the red bull livery car??

[@milkteaman510]

[@Uglier.]

slim chance any of those chassis are still alive 😪

[@oooooooliver]

would be cool to see one of them still alive today

[@Itskylewalker]

In what year were angle kits first produced? Because even in the late 2000s when I got into it. It was very common. It wasn’t until around 2013 that I noticed it became more common. So in Japan what were common angle mods, and what was everyone doing back then? Spacers and extended tie rods?

[@TheForbidden0ne]

“Angle kits” such as wisefab are a pretty rare modification even today in Japan and was non existent at this time in the video. Seeing how shallow the entries are, you can tell there are no steering angle modifications. I’m not sure exactly when but maybe a few years after this Naoki started cutting knuckles for more lock and everyone at Meihan followed the boss. To this day that’s really the only angle modification most drivers do at Meihan; stock arms, stock rods, and cut knuckles (B knuckle by Naoki) with hub-centric spacers.

[@corda3037]
