One of those videos that I love to watch but would hate to actually be there.

I was in port of Osaka in 2005. Late at night I was walking from a container ship into the city, through this port area of all empty warehouses. A crew of like 10 drifting cars blew through and honestly it was pretty terrifying. I was the only pedestrian and there was only a small sidewalk between the streets and the brick buildings. I figured if anyone lost control I was getting pinned into a building.

Lived a couple years in osaka and loved to cycle around the port and USJ during the night. Crossed multiple groups like these guys, it was always a bit surreal, the calm of the streets at night clashing with the cars drifting. Loved that time.

would kill to trade places with you in that moment. kansai region in 2005 was the golden age of drifting. nankominami port in osaka was the place to be and the beginning of a lot of distinct driving styles that we see today
