IMPORTANT: Please Read The Description Box Below!
Roulettezoku 「ルーレット族」literally translates to “Roulette Tribe”. It’s a term that not many in the west know, because it is mainly used by the Japanese police to specifically refer to the hashiriya 「走り屋」or street racers who run the inner city highways of Tokyo; mainly the C1 Loop and Wangan line.
This video is an inside look at the high stakes world of the Roulettezoku. It follows my friends and I as we spend one night out in Tokyo exploring the scene and experiencing everything first hand.
This video is also basically a series pilot/a pitch video for a series. Please read on.
Recently I had a dinner with the head of The Discovery Channel in Japan where I had a very real chance to talk all about my story and the car culture niche and the what and why of my mission with Drift Hunter. For you guys who have been following me for awhile, you know that this is basically the culmination of the past 5 years of effort. For 2 hours, I made the case that there exists a super massive, worldwide fan base; a passionate and diverse group of enthusiasts, just like you and I, who are hungry for real, authentic content and stories about the multiple aspects of Japanese car culture. And that there are very, very few people who have the ability to tell these stories.
So, There is a very good chance that execs from The Discovery Channel and possibly other platforms will be watching this video. And, they’ll be going through your guys comments. If my content has ever brought you any value and you resonate with my mission and want to see me take this to the next level, speak up - this is your time to be heard. Drop a comment below of:
1. Name, age, location
2. Why you feel content about real JDM culture is important
3. Why you trust me to tell these stories and continue to follow me
And if you enjoyed this video, please consider sharing it on Facebook and Reddit, or screen capping the video and making an Instagram story. I’ll do my best to promote it myself, but I need your help to get this video to a million views❤️
Once again thank you everyone so much for your support. I wouldn’t have made it this far without every 61,000 of you at the time I’m posting this!
Big thanks to Andy and Norm for being in the video! Please check out their work:

@@leperchauntripod This type of thing has been big in Europe for many years, but one thing I like with the japanese guys is that they are in to drifting! Drifting is honestly the most fun you can ever have with a car. It makes you feel free, it makes you feel good. And when you have a car powerful enough to run from the police, then wow! I know its more possible to run from the police in Japan, due to the small and many roads compared to USA where the roads are made in a way that its basically impossible to outrun a cop, but we have many similar things here in Europe with small roads and many old roads intertwined, so we have a great culture like that over here too, its just not as much money here. The type of cars that people have in Japan is the biggest difference compared to here too and the coolest of all is how loose the rules and regulations for how you can modify your car over there... some of that stuff would just NEVER be able to go on a road up here in Northern Europe.

@@siegpasta I will agree i do love the fun and all but i think personally the japanese are getting to much credit is all. i am of Slovak/Polish decent and I'm aware of the economical standing in eastern europe . and yes its much harder here with restrictions and the roads them selfs ... being in japan and going full send and basically no limit mods would be amazing and all. I'm sure the overwhelming amount of smaller roads must indeed make things a bit more interesting, i know here where i am its a lot of dirt roads and thin highways so playing out here is easier... no police in my town ... less than 200 in population , so its a bit more relaxed. nice to have a difference of opinion without being called names and such.

@@leperchauntripod I agree that they gett too much credit, but all Im saying is that you cant deny that those cars are really cool! Im happy where I live, Sweden. You cant go crazy like they do in Japan in the cities caus the police will catch you with their super Volvo cars with specially modified engines, 4 wheel drive and so on. but drive 2 hours outside any big city and it becomes like you talk about, ALOT more relaxed :D I personally live here in the capital (Stockholm) which I dislike, I like the countryside alot more and to have cars and such but its a shame you cant help where your parents wants to chose to live isnt it? Its going to take at least 10 years of saving to get enough money to get a house outside of this city, but it will be worth it! Also, in general I'm much more interested in the American cars than the japanese cars, even though I think those japanese cars are cool. A big biuick with a V8 isnt something you cant say no to ;) Or a Ford Raptor with the biggest engine, yes yes. Just give me that one and I will be pleased! maybe you didnt know, but Sweden has more restored American 'veteran' cars (old American luxury cars with big v8 engines or above) than in USA itself! Our culture here for such things is extremely big and we call it to be "Raggare". The only downside to your cars is that they are all automatick! HAHAHA!

if this comment is still needed, My name is Charles Davis. I live in the Pocono Mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania and I am 51 years old. I started following the Sport Compact Car seen in the late 90s. I have always had a love for cars, being as I was a kid through the 70's and rode in and watched the muscle cars of that day. I was fascinated at how the Japanese cars were able to make sooooo much power using, basically science. The fact the Albo is spending time and money showing the history and lineage of this car seen is, well, BANANAS! My hats off to this young man for putting together an amazing documentary on this car scene. I know the platform has been covered here in the US, but, I think the way that he presents it, shows that its not about law breakers and rebels, but about the love of the automobile and the friendships and family that can be built around this. Car racing has been around in the US since cars have been around. I believe he can take this platform and style of content around the world. Give him the chance to show his talent and journalistic style. I want to be a DriftHunter citizen!!

To think, regarding the "Little trees" car scents, its not that you have 'more prestige' when you own more of those (maybe that were lost in translation). You see, one of those car scents probably lasts at best a month. Maybe less, maybe more, depending on the type and brand. When one runs out, you buy more. So the more you have, shows how long you had the car for, so to speak. By only that, people can roughly see how great your bond with your car is. With that tiny and subtle hint, people can almost think of your whole journey and adventure you went through with your car. So in a way, it shows how much experience you have with your car. Hence the mentioned term "top dog" which basically what the young drivers there refers to something similar to the "OG" term used in the US

Dude i love your vids I watch every single one of them and i try not to miss them and the reason i keep coming back is because i can see your dedication and love for sharing your experience and knowledge for the car world. I had got into the japanese car culture through initial d and i was never sure if it was real until i saw your video with the red R32 drifting on the touge. I can't speak for everyone but i can speak for myself when i say watching your vids makes me feel like I am there with you living my greatest dream I appreciate it and would love to see you get the chance to show it to people who don't understand our love for cars. It's not always about going fast theres a deeper meaning to it and I would love to see people understand that. (P.S. i had talked to you once before bc you told my how clean my red Fc was and i appreciate that it made my day and i wont ever forget it)

Been searching KZfaq for some high-quality content on street racing culture and your videos are by far the best I've seen so far. Keep up the great work, I hope you land that deal with Discovery, they'd be lucky to have someone as dedicated as you creating content for them. My name is Ethan, I'm 23 and live in New York. Your dedication to spreading the word of the actual JDM car culture is amazing and a breath of fresh air. I trust you to tell these stories because you seem truly dedicated to the culture and the life and seem to know your stuff. Keep it up and we'll keep watching.

Our best shot was traveling down to Asian markets to pick up the latest Option Mag... so to see this channel documenting the scene and it’s birthplace for imports is hugely gratifying and above all very important to its legacy to be captured. Thank you for continuing. You have so many fans over here rooting for you!

Heey, Albo. I'm Neto, from Brazil! My interest in motorsports in general came 3 years ago, when I was 16 years old, and what really got me was the JDM culture/drifting. When I discovered your channel I already had a knowledge about how big the Japanese culture influenced the car scene nowadays; but I never questioned why people were so passionate about it, what made it different or special. You are able show us through your work what it feels to be in the middle of such a, as I already said, passionate community. It's easy to tell that you're also not only an admirer but someone who helps keeping that old but bold JDM spirit alive. Your documentaries are incredible, when we deeply enjoy what we do the results come phenomenally. That's why you should be able to reach more people, there are a lot of JDM lovers out there, your determination to show us what you and also we like deserves more praise and recognition. I already recommended your channel to a lot of friends that I made from this car community, even though I live in the other side of the globe. I hope you keep doing what you enjoy and be successful, you deserve it! Oh, and many thanks!

I find it amazing how you can go anywhere in the world and immediately make friends with car crazy people from that country. It’s a universal thing.

Street racing is the enjoyment of pushing yourself without any rules on your shoulders. I love to go out in my car at 4 a.m. on some barren back-roads and push my self to my limit to eventually having my car holding back my ability. Im in the northern US so modifying cars is really rare but there's that 1 in a 1000 you come across. Car culture is extremely important to some people it means the world to have a car form the 90's and thrash it around. But its a lifestyle working 2 to 3 jobs just to pay for those new tires and coilovers. Mabye for that engine rebuild for much more power. I believe cars are a way of expressing art form a personal standpoint. The beauty of a car and a driver pushing them self is a crazy thing no words can explain but through experience. I personally was born whit the eagerness to race. I remember being a kid and seeing all the 90's modified cars when I used to live in the southern part of the US and just take in the turbo sounds and engines reeving. Hope this helps with your people looking for why this is important Albo.

Having been an active and founding member of an MC that was at one time known for racing and stunting I love seeing people from the other side of the world that are just like we are. It is amazing to see the same archetypes. There is always the loud guy, the fat guy who is way faster than he should be, the skinny guy who looks like he spent all his money on parts, the rich guy with more vehicle than skill. Anytime you gather "speed people" together there is almost always a hierarchy and respect for each other's skill and for safety. I look forward to seeing your docs on a large platform!

Truthfully, I think it would be a shame for this to go "big time" and become a network produced show. Some things are great because they are obscure, rare and left in the dark. Shining a big network tv light on this culture, I think, would ruin it. Please allow it to grow in its natural habitat. Do not shine to much light on this.
