The Shop Keeping Drifting Alive In Japan

Nagahama-san runs a drift-oriented bodyshop called N-Style Customs out in the Gunma countryside. He started off 23 years back building VIP cars, later shifting his attention to drifting and helping his customers create the visions of cars they had in mind. Him and his crew are always regulars at drift events in Nikko and Gunsai and together own some of Kanto's most recognizable drift machines, Nahagama-san's own Z20 Soarer being one of them.
After visiting him a decade back for Speedhunters and shooting a lot of his cars at Nikko, I thought it was about time that I did a video on his sops and his latest projects. Hell I even got to drive his 5-speed manual V12 Century! Head to my second channel, Only Dino, to see that drive soon!

You saying it made me think about it but here's my understanding. This channel is like a bomb ass taco shop, you don't really tell too many people because you don't want it to change. I won't even take dates to my favorite taco shop because I don't want to see exes there lol! I hope you reach whatever your vision of success looks like.

[@chrisb15679]

As a Fellow Taco Enthusiast I feel this! ✌️

[@WrightLenz]

Well said brother!

[@afaulkingham4130]

those old school Soarers are absolutely amzing, some of the best body lines i have ever seen and they look so damn good slammed

[@MixedNuts88]

my favorite car-related channel on YT. Deep dives into content that no one else is providing, with chill and informative delivery, and good music.

[@dino_dc]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@morophineswordphich8229]

Hope you hit a million, Dino. You have a chill style that no one in the car scene can match.

[@dino_dc]

Thanks, appreciate that!

N-Style never ceases to amaze. Charisma plus

[@silly_G33se]

It's so sick to see such a nice shop in the middle of nowhere surrounded by rice fields. Such a cool vibe! I love the interview style in all japanese with subtitles aswell. It shows the authenticity of the speakers much more than with a dub.

[@dino_dc]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ericmess8261987]

That wagon Chevy Impala in Japan is absolutley badass. Thank you as always Dino!

[@dino_dc]

Yeah they used to be popular years back, popular choice for surfers as you can easily fit a few boards in the back!

[@dennisbdavid]

I love how you’re giving us access to shops that we would only see their stickers on grassroots events. Thanks

[@dino_dc]

Glad you like them!

[@WaffleDragon]

Me and my 59-year-old parents like to watch your videos when we eat dinner sometimes. They really like your style. Very mature, unlike so many other car people who scream at the camera. My parents have always been into cars, more so my dad than my mom. They like American stuff, as do I, but I've grown into the Japanese and German stuff as well. They enjoy seeing the content and also seeing bits of Japan.

[@dino_dc]

Thanks, happy you’re all enjoying the content 🙏🏻

[@dankvader420]

This is probably one of the best shops I've seen on videos…

Toyota Century: Who will be my new owner? Will he be an executive officer? An owner of the biggest gaming console company? Or a President of this country? Doraiberu: Lak-kee! New dorifto missairu!

[@derrekjohnson777]

I really want one of those Soarers. It was the first car that blew me away back in 1990 on the Streets of Gotemba.

[@michaelr5545]

I KNEW IT !!! I havent even watched yet, just read the description first to confirm and BOOM! N-Style. You first introduced me to them probably 10 years ago when you featured a gold JXZ100 Mark ii on SH. I appreciate another look into them & their cars. Off to watch the video now, thanks Dino

[@rstarvibes6318]

Oh man, thats Dope to see this drifters working on this legendary oldschool Cars ❤

[@se7enine]

That Z20 Soarer is awesome, love seeing it at the drift tracks. I wish they were readily available in the states.

[@fhajr]

I absolutely love how you shoot all your interviews! The way you frame your interviewees reminds me of Marc Munden's work, using a mix of wide and medium shots gave it a unique look. Awesome video👍

[@vkristof01]

This generation of Century is possibly my ultimate dream car, the one i won't get, because of how rare it is here in Europe, and how awkward the driving position would be in right-hand traffic.

[@edugj23]

Took me a while to recognize cars that I had seen in previous videos 😅 but wow, a kinda isolated shop pumping out truly unique projects.

[@johnnysmile01]

Love those drifting machines specially that Soarer just beautiful love to see those Cars

[@carbonf40]

Whenever you come out with a new video, I always make sure I have plenty of time, pour myself a good negroni or G n T, and sit down and savour! Savour the video that is... watching your videos is kinda like reaching nirvana in mediation I guess. For me anyway.

[@dino_dc]

Very happy to hear that! Thank you!
