This is the type of content we want to see on KZfaq.

This is literally the best video I've seen in years 😍 I understood it completely. You're right it's super difficult to explain in words (even Japanese words 😂) but you did it very well. I learned a ton. I've actually naturally put some of these techniques into practice organically just by learning car control lap after lap it's cool to hear it spelled out visually. THANK YOU for this video! I'm a subscriber now

"A thousand pounds, couple of thousand dollars, about twenty five thousand Australian dollars" is the most relatable thing I've heard in a long time. Really enjoying these videos! Keep up the good work, Mitto

Well... Since I'm into drifting, and to be honest it's since I'm 13 years old, I very quickly understood that there is something to the Japanese style of drifting that made me really love drifting the way I still do today. But I never really knew how to describe it. It's now 13 years later, that finally someone described it so clearly and perfectly. Thank you very much for that Mitto, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. ❤️

I've always had this gut feeling about drifting that I could never put into words. I've been drifting for only a year now, but I always FELT that the car should be set up the way you're describing it in order for me to get that Japanese style of driving the car. People called me crazy, stupid, etc. I finally have a video to send to those people to get educated, thank you for this.

We'll all look back at this video one day and realize how top tier this info was/is. Spoken so casually yet extremely informative for anyone that might even only have basic understanding of how everything seems to work. You've explained things more clearly and eloquently in 25 mins than others have with years and years of content. Keep it up man.

This is the best contact ive seen on KZfaq yet. Loving the channel keep up the awesome work

If there are things you may need from a media standpoint, feel free to ask me. I would be happy to help with supplying video clips.

This has changed the way i look at drifting, love how in detail it is, and all the different potential ways to drift a car. Cant wait for BDC to start!

Engineering explained is worth a watch anyway, Jason does a great job of breaking stuff down to an easy to understand level. Will be putting drift bible on the watch list. Thank you for another informative video.

Loved this video, perfectly explains the reason to why i like Japanese drifting better than the typical "western" style of drifting. The japanese form of drifting is what i chase for on the simulator, agressive, snappy transitions, lots of grip and so on. Hopefully next year I'll be able to buy myself a car and start drifting, not just out and about on the wet and snow with the daily. lol Loved the fact you mentioned Norway, winter over here is nothing else than skidding about, man, makes me miss my E39 525D. Outsiders 2 needs to happen btw!

Hands down my favorite channel on KZfaq as of today , watched all videos including the one that was live at 7pm this evening . Love the content . So much insight into so many aspects of drifting / Japanese style . Thank you

This is exactly what people need to take into consideration.

now this is the stuff everybody should learn or know about. loving these videos! Great job!

I`m studying Japanese and this terms will defenitely go to my vocabulary chart! This Meihan technique explanation really helps me, my S15 came from there and it`s modded way differently than anything else I have ever saw. I still need to learn lots to perfectly control that monster!

Great and eloquent explanation. I’ve been looking for someone to put this in words. This is bang on.

I have been following and studying drifting for 10+ years and like 50% of this video was new info to me. The rest was alot of stuff I "knew" but could never put into words to explain to other ppl, the 3rd car rule especially! Thank you, well done! Subbed.

Absolutely class video mate, loved it! Never really thought about a lot of the things you mentioned, like the Japanese car's nose up stance in drift,so it was a definite eye opener! There's definitely a lot more to it than is apparent at first glance! Keep up the good work!

Love the video, can’t wait for the next one

I want to see more drift like in the Drift Bible, so smooth, the exits are perfect!

Absolutely amazing content. I’ve been looking to understand what makes Japanese styling drifting and this is a great intro! Can’t wait for the next videos on it :)

Great video, as someone who's been into drifting for years, I knew alot of the techniques you are talking about, but to have them explained properly is very rare. You've done a great job of breaking it down. Really enjoy your content dude 👍

This is genuinely brilliant dude. Keep the good stuff coming!

This is honestly brilliant, and you did an awesome job portraying the techniques! i cannot wait to see more

Love it mitto dropping knowledge and i may or may not have rewound that ueo clip four or five times, that version of his ae86 was so good especially when he was rocking the full set of MK2's in gold

👍🏻Thankyou very informative, going to be a rewatch a few times to get yah head round it all. 👌🏻

Another awesome vid 👌🏻 fantastic content!

Love what you're doing man! Great content

Thank you Mitto! stunning vid!

Fantastic Mitto..... Thanks for taking the time to do this. Subscribed

Awesome informative video this.. would love more breakdowns on the different setups for different driving styles! Looking forward to more of these

Awesome vid! Speaking specifically about Meihan, it's really interesting to see how the style has developed. Looking at footage from early 2000's Kansai Allstar, to Team Burst in the mid 2000's, to Naoki in D1SL late 2000's to early 2010's, and then to now. Then seeing how that progression has affected the rest of Japanese drifting. The shakotaka "movement" is also interesting to look at. Basically taking all these principles and pushing them as far as they can go. Such a rabbit whole but a really fun one, especially in these times with nothing to do. Excited to see your take on Western drifting!

Great content mito 👌🏻

Really informative video! Fascinating to learn all the Japanese terminology! Enjoying the channel man, keep it up! 🤙🏻

Loved this. Thank you ♥️

I appreciated the hell out of this. I understand the feeling of driving a welded differential vs a limited slip, but I’ve never heard someone explain the how mechanics effect driving style..

By far one of the best explained drift videos I have ever seen! Great work!

Great vid. As someone who is new to this scene, having already watched the bible and wanting to get into drifting properly (assetto will have to do for now though), this was deffo eye opening and gave me a lot to take away and digest.

Learning so much about the origins of drifting and techniques from these vids, keep up the quality content 👍🏻

Awesome job! Thank you for breaking down the techniques that I want to apply to my RC set up. Excited to see more of the set up episodes.

Massive thank you. This is quality content! Well made, explained and the way you make it sound makes it easy to all of us understand 😉

style isn’t a byproduct of driving, it’s one of personality

Really enjoying the drift crash channel mate latest video is ace and I have taken a lot from it and the one with Julian was awesome he’s the reason I got into drifting met him at a drift day I done with my brother back in 2010 before I could drive he was there doing lessons and took me out in the 34 and I was hooked from that day forward remember him telling me about the drift bible and getting it on dvd before it was on youtube and watching it religiously lol Keep up the vids dude really good

Great style comparison video, thank you! 🙏

Hell yeah bro killed it! Very informative! subscribed 🤘🏼

Sick video love it!!

Love the video dude! I'm going to share this in our RC drifting group because it relates so much! Using the springs and the squat to snap, using throttle control and the correct gearing to gain speed etc. instead of just mashing the throttle and melt the tires.

Absolutely brilliant videos being put out here keep it up

Love the vid Mitto!

awesome video!! shirtstuckedin has been hugely influential for me lately. loving to see the throw back style. im back to making drift liveries in forza because of you guys :)

Loved that man, awesome to learn more about Japanese styles

Thanks for the great content ! looking forward to more hopefully some lessons on twin drifting techniques on managing gap,catching lead driver, transition timing etc. hopefully see you on track again soon when lockdown ends @ DWYB

amazing content as always! :D

Savage explanation! Really enjoyed the video!

Formula D and D1GP has become too commercialised. Like 'u can hit that clipping point and faster so u must be a better driver' but its so much more e.g. technique and aggression that makes drifting exciting. Thats why D1 Lights and Kansai Allstars are way more exciting to watch

This channel is the best 2020 brought so far. Thanks for the Deluxe Drifting Content! Btw Outsiders was one of the main influences for me going to Japan in 2019. Thanks again for that.

Wow, dude keep this content up, really makes your brain think.. loving explainations..!! Good shit my dude..!

I remember seeing you from driftworks (outsiders) video 6 years ago. Good to see you back man! Your knowledge/experience from Japanese drifting scene is gold!

Really enjoyed this man learned a lot thanks

Dude, we just discovered you. Thank you for putting all these things together. It will help a bunch of people knowing the right way. Mad props to you. Loved the last part where you get emotional? by saying that we all should enjoy drifting. I almost wanted to hug you!!!! hahaha Let's keep pushing, let's do our best!!!! thanks again. 184garage, spanish drift team

Very cool!!! Good way of explaining it man!

Re-watching in 2022 after getting back into drifting games on PC (mainly CarXdrift on PC) wanted to re-aquaint with the OG techniques to refresh the memory of the things I learned from you whilst RC drifting, mad to see how far you style has come in just 2 years, and damn, those rowdy SRs have fast become one of my fave sounding engines!

This, exactly this. I wish I had money to give you for some cool illustrations and visualizations for people to understand directional momentum and such. Awesome content👍🏽👍🏽✌🏽

This is very spot on!

I’ve never heard it explained this way before. Thank u!

Excellent topic. Great execution. Dont hear enough talk about this subject. Very concisely put into words.

Incredible insight! Great job.

Love it 💪🏻💪🏻

This was an awesome video, good to know there are people out there that actually understand the finer details of technique like this and it's relationship to suspension set up. So many lost driver's out there, good to spread this info to help people. Too easy to just buy a bunch of parts someone recommended that will not help you achieve what you're trying to do and suit the car/track/skill level. Will be interested at watching more of this!!

Great video, I learned a lot. Thanks for the solid content!

Great video, I learned a lot!

Great info, didn't realise their was that much difference in setup between U.S/UK and Japan, brilliant explanations for setting up a corner entrance and technique, very rare to have an explanation that's on point and makes sense first time.

So much knowledge put into this, we need more of these Matt!!!

Amazing video, learnt a lot👌🏿

AMAAAZIIIIIIINGGG STUFF DUDE!!! THIS is the knowledge I've been craving for yeeearrrsss!!! ❤❤❤

Awesome watch for someone who's newish to the scene keep up the amazing work man 🥰

I'd say this is probably your best video yet mate

Super well done video, really helps you dissect the true art of drifting. Fantastic production quality too

I love your videos man keep it up

Thank you! Very interesting video! You are very knowledgeable on this subject 👍🏼

Thanks youtube recommends, awesome video. Subbed.

Love this video! Super informational, and I'm sure it made/ is making the concept of drifting easy to follow for anyone trying to learn and get into the art! I know I did haha Keep them coming!

subbed for some great information, commentary, and explanations!!

Awesome info again. Funny I always thought of Japanese style as flick off throttle "sliding" And western style as on throttle under power burning out. Learn so much every time. Thank you.

Great video!! Thank you for breaking it down and making it simpler.. I understood perfectly well looking forward to the western style video.

Love this video, really clearly explains the techniques and why western drift (on the whole) looks different to Japanese drifting. Nice one mate 👍🤘

What an amazing watch, such an amazing level of knowledge. I knew the Japanese were very next level, but I believed it to be more of a history than a greater understanding ofthe “drift” I love it. It makes me want to learn more

Really appreciate this information.

I learned on an S15 helical for the first two years, Tried a welded for a season and had to go back to an LSD.. Been running a Tomei 2 way since 2013 and won't settle for less!

Great video, I never really had thought about understeer with a welded vs a limited slip. I have experienced that first hand!

Awesome video!... thanks!

THIS VIDEO IS EPIC! Learnt so much! Thank you. Hopefully you can make more theory videos like this in the future. ^^

Awesome content, stoked to see someone with a clue explain techniques in such accurate detail 🤙

Big up yourself - enlightening, concise, erudite and enjoyable. More of the same please boss!

Beautiful explanation having used both east - west styles, I liked the way you explained it for everyone! To add something that Sleepy-san once told me for professional competitions "Most West drifting competitions are judged when you are on throttle in the track (powerslide), in Japan it's when you are off (slingshot) ". Waiting for more videos!

Thank you for this!

jeez what a gem of a video. more people need to see this

Man epic content! Never paid much attention to the Drift or import car scene at all. Always been a fan of Motorsports though (My Stepdad raced a Corvette in Escort Playboy Enduro Series back in the eighties). Would occasionally watch a Ken Block clip and be super impressed but the only Motorsport I was realistically able afford was motocross and now have one of the modern/classic Kawasaki 1200ZRX's that I'm setting up for track. However, during confinement I stumbled on a Papadakis 2JZ build and now I'm fricking hooked!- Devouring drifting vids and scouring thousands of comments daily for any nuggets of drifting gold! My fiancee is Japanese and we're moving back to her city of Okayama so looking forward to learning the track and set-ups with all the OG's that have been driving there for decades. Anyways the message of your video really touches on the essence of Japanese Culture and how they learn (which volumes have been written about). From purely a driving standpoint though the point you mentioned of action & reaction relates directly to a Judo throw and how they've practiced them for centuries. That is: thousands of repetition s and breaking down a move in different segments. Now of course with YT we're interacting with billions of people that offer their insights which often leads to branching out to other tangents. One comment mentioned C's Car Garage in NZ so I went to that a listened to the low-key Kiwi Adam talk about his Naoki inspired suspension set-up. Whoever mentioned that-thank you. Why? because Adam talks about how he was so focused on parts that once he obtained them he was bored. Lesson- focus on the art of drifting and not the gear! He was going back to stock lsd diff and knuckles with other Naoki inspired set-up tips. So now my technical questions: You mention how the The Japanese tend to flutter the gas. Any specific set up tips they like to use? i.e. boost settings or intake manifold tech. Second, I've watched Taguchi's Hoonigan yard run GoPro footage and the H-pattern dogbox with slightly higher e-brake seems super fluid- another secret to drifting technical tracks? Thanks again, subscribed, and will be watching future content!

really interesting and beautifully edited and worded, thank you for this

So informative watched it 3 times to really take it in top quality content
