Random Nihonjin Video of the Day

[Russell]

This video is trending on YouTube at the moment.
A guy in a van blocks a drifter (who is filming his exploits), jumps out of his van and chases the drifter who backs up at high speed, then turns and flees.
Most of the J comments are to the effect that the drifter is endangering people drifting on a public road, he was soiling his shorts in fear, and what kind of baka films this kind of illegal activity and then posts it - d'oh!

I try to figure out what vehicle this "drifter" was in. And what is a drifter?

Why was he attracting such anger? He was just driving at the left side of the road, wasn't he?

In answer to your first question

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drifting_(motorsport)
I believe we have several threads about the subject on FG.

As to the anger. The dude in the van looks to be in full blown retard mode. So it makes me wonder if he was trying to chase the driver or rape the car.

Indeed, there was once a member who was a drifter.

My mantra: go back to source. Any clues as to the driven vehicle might be found by wading through the original twitter feed https://twitter.com/lsk8lovetabi/media but you also risk having to wade through a random drifter's brain at the same time.

You were asking what drifting is:

[Coligny]

Tsss that's no drifting...

Here:

With factory restored historical rally cars valued at more than a house...

Driven by Jean Ragnotti, Renault's official factory driver... Who turned 70 last month...

A video that could fit in both the Gaijin and Nihonjin categories. I wasn't aware of this phenomenon.

Hat tip to a retweet by Mulboyne, and from this.

Mie and Kei show no interest in, nor aptitude for, lowbrow comedy. Their entire philosophy as comic performers as well as musical entertainers could succinctly be summarized as “smile and nod.”

[dimwit]

Wow, that was embarrassingly interesting. and to think it was only the 35th worst show in television history.

when i was a kid, there were 2 or 3 iranian hafu, 2 or 3(more?)philipine hafu, 1 hakujin hafu in the same grade of mine. they were all bullied more or less.
recently in my neighborhood, i started seeing black hafu children. they were looking around to see if ppl stare at him/her.
i imagine j-staring, which doesnt equipped with XOR gate to skip someones eye, hurt them slowly and silently.
i casually stared at him as well and he(probably 5 or 6th grade of elementary school) glared at me . its tough for ppl having different physical features, especially sensitive period children to live in this extremely homogeneous island.

I am half Japanese and half African American and I have been to Japan multiple times. I definitely see a difference when Japanese people interact with someone who is half black rather than half white. I have friends who are half black like me, half white, and half another race. I think because those who are half white look more "Asian" they fit into Japan better. but through my experiences, those who are half black get a lot of stares and 100% of the time are expected to not speak any Japanese whatsoever.

btw korean and chinese hafu are not called hafu in general. mostly they looks same and use japanese style name usually.

The real divide in Japan is between city folk and iinaka mon.
Shogatsu and Obon and you see who really belongs to Yedo.

The divide in Yedo is between the real money and the lackeys.

An interesting bit of video for sure and something goes bang. But can you see an aircraft? I can't.

And of course all these guys have become politicians now.

The last pic looks suspiciously like Taro Aso.

I was going to make a comment about the splayed legs and attitude, but then I found a photo of the school's founding fathers.

Doesn't answer the question they pose.

The reasons people confess are more deeply rooted than 23 days. The reasons the police & prosecutors convict people they know are innocent are key to the issue.

[kurogane]

Am I wrong to suggest that the 99% rate is also usually limited to accused that confess? Weird as that confessional thing is, both formal and anecdotal evidence strongly suggest that if you can Bon Jovi it you'll walk.

They have a very generous definition of "confess." No cameras allowed, typed by detectives and "signed" with a fingerprint...nothing could ever go wrong with that setup.

I have no idea how that's done. The mystery is part of what makes it so cool.
