Im not sure if Jeremy knew it or not but he chose such a good year to look at Japanese car culture 1995 was the golden age
1994 was when this was recorded. Looks like the summer of that year.
He chose the year that the midnight club was disbanded
🤔not convinced if that....
.... not convinced Japan could ever claim to have a 'Golden Age, automotively speaking.
In other words,
the nail that gets hammered down, serves as a lesson to the other nails,
revealing the limit of what a nail can do,..in Japan.
In other Other words, Japanese Car Culture, has always been mostly made of the shiny bits any PepBoys sells...as veneer to the lack of actual car culture.

Reverse parking camera-in 1995. Now thats what i call ahead of its time.
That were the Japanese... :(
Also they just put literally anything in an unexpensive car which is normally found in an expensive car.
23 years later it must come standard
And Mercedes, Volvo, Audi and BMW charge you for that very feature. 🤣
Yeah and you still have to pay a ton of money for it
AG19RDR fuck them I’ll always buy Honda
I think I'm having a 90's overdose.
ArthurAlcantara me too man
and i love it
lol same. For once CZcams recommendations delivered some gold! All it took was tons of 80s and 90s nostalgia vids and a bunch of Japan vids to tell it what I really wanted.
I was 12 when this cam out, brings back memories of the time before social media ruined the world.
I'm having withdrawls
This video is full of A E S T H E T I C
With extra attention paid to the A S S
Bjørn you😑
Yesssss
Full to the brim
Have an edible and watch this in our garage if you’d like, wooosh into the screen you go.
A Bentley-driving monk? Priceless!
@@calypsodesir1938 he literally said he was a Monk. there's your difference you wanker.
For everything else there's mastercard.
Seriously feels like something out of a bad anime or a really really good anime
Keiichi Tsuchiya (Drift King) is actually a hilarious guy and talks a lot, he's like Jeremy Clarkson that can actually drive...
clarkson can drive too
@@JZX_Nate
He means driving better 🤣
*can actually drift
@@c63w204W nah he was literally one of the best driver to ever come out of Japan and then in his later years started drifting
You're hot for even knowing about the Dk
Its funny how this is 1995 and he shows a car with a rear facing camera and says its not important while here we are today and most luxury car come standard with one.
Of course only the British know what's a quality car interior. Wood. Lots of wood of course. They can't do gadgets so it must be not important.
You know, 90s ended 16 years ago. They don't care that much about wood today.
DarkLordDiablos it when i born XD and i want more boxy car now day
I was 17 at this point, hard to believe its been 22 years.
You kind of prove his point. the rear camera isn't important. How many would buy an ugly car just because it has a rear camera? How many wouldn't buy a beautiful car that doesn't have one? The answer is spot on... it's not important. Especially since he's talking about a car's desirability. You might as well be talking about an auto dimming rear view mirror. Or fog lights...
6:58
1995: Driving a standard Road Car
2019: LOOK ITS AN S14 ZENKI!!!

1:29 that lovely mk3 supra just chilling there
Crazy Vimix i’m probably going to buy one next year :p
I was trying to see which engine it had.
An at the end the silvia sitting in traffic, cool to see these cars in their natural habitat lol
@@lexdiamond9827 Well... that is Tokyo. I'd rather walk/cycle into the city. The public transport gets heavily crowded too like the traffic.
Do any of you see that blac kmk2
golf and the white w201 benz?
I'm as Gen Z as anyone, and my main sources of entertainment are ironic/surreal memes and CZcams Shorts. This is unlike anything I've ever seen. This is so 90's yet it somehow remains fresh. This series has it all: Insight about cultures, insight about cars, insight about how the world functioned in general during that time, and it's topped off with some amazing cinematography and a killer soundtrack. It's honestly a privilege for me to watch this decades after it has aired.
clarkson exactly on point; no matter the decade, is extraordinary
It's called tv lmao
Please dont tell me you say "In the 1900's"
damn... im starting to feel bad for your own and future genrations, but that just how life goes. just dont miss out on the good ;)
@@RobbSoul The 90s in my opinion as a teenager was great. We got to live the old school life younger, and slowly got brought into the tech age. Dial up AOL and message boards. Not everyone had a computer in their house yet, and cell phones what few were around if it all had minute plans. Free friends and family after 7 lol... SMARTphones are in my opinion what ruined society....
why are they hating about the design? the r32 skyline is beautiful
I like the more minimalist design compared to the bubbly curvy design of American cars of the era. I agree 100%
It's the type of design, that doesn't look astounding at first, but gets better and better with time. They become classics. Just wait 10 years, and the gen 5 Supra will be orgasmically beautiful. Now there's too many nostalgia, novelty, change phobia factors for people to actually look at the car, like they will 5 - 10 years from now.
They are ugly, and their continue ugly, he just means is too ugly and poor aerodinamic eficiency compared with other car using 800 power
Noor Junior learn English please
Because it was tradition of Top Gear to always hate about japanese car design.
Brilliant look at yesteryear. The original Skyline still has to be one of the all time great cars.
Well there even was a Skyline before the R32
GERstarBROT quite a few generations before the R32
Eric....it came out in 1956 I think, you sure about your comment?
waynusp1664 cuz do a fuckin google search ya knob, they've been making Skylines since the 50s lmao
There have been many skylines before R32, not just one.
This video should be kept in a museum
Jeremy Clarkson was the original Drift Hunter
Hey man, what a coincidence I actually found your channel two days ago and now I can't stop watching your videos. Japanese car culture really is amazing. Can't wait to see more documentaries and perhaps even a film about the culture 😉. Keep up the good work man and you'll definitely go far👍
Did not expect to find a comment from albo here 😄👌
damn nice finding u here
bruh
6:24 *D O R I F T O K I N G U*
I had to rewind it lol
Lmaooo that was gold when Clarkson said it
D O R I F TO K I N G O
Clarkson was, Clarkson is, Clarkson will always be Clarkson.
🙌🏽This man is ever true to himself. The amount of banter is still the same today 😂😂
Thanks for posting this series. I've never seen it before and look forward to watching them all. On a side note, it's hard to believe that kid who slide off the mountain while drifting would now be in his late 40's. :-/
:( why u do this. I find it so weird how anyone can record and upload them selves on the internet just cause what's it going to be like in 40 years
AlexGRFan97 The brain and person is set.
Shut up
17:58 ''Im not interested in germany cars because they dont break down'' This is the moment when u realise this film is really old 😂
he's not wrong , old Porsche 911s never break down
Germans were still building well built cars in 1995. They threw reliability away in the late '90s and haven't built anything reliable since.
got a 2017 GTI that's only been towed once.
_knock on wood_ ahaha
@@maineiacman What a ridiculous thing to say, some of the most reliable cars built are newer German cars, take the F20 and F30 BMW's for example, topped the reliability charts for their segments, the W211 Mercedes E-class as well, super reliable to the point that they routinely do 1 million kilometers without significant work being done to them.
If anyone is interested, the music that starts at 4:38 is 'Kenny G - Songbird'.
Much appreciated mate
Spotify here I come
@@mrshelley87 hahahahaha... Same here
Yes, it’s fucking horrid “music” for extreme douchebags. Fuck soft jazz
Who cares
This is probably the only time I've seen footage of the Mid Night club and it's out of course it was something that Clarkson managed to get his hands on
The styling of the GT-R is what made me fall in love with it, I don't know what he's on about. Yes, it's not flamboyant and wild and exotic, but that's all for the better. It doesn't need to be, because it's what it does that's what it wants to show off.
The best cars look more normal than the ones that claim to be the best.
Let's be honest the R32 wasn't exactly nice looking, but every GTR after that is a bedroom wall poster
John Donovan Imo the r32 is the best looking one out of the bunch
@@antthaknee4290 that's fair enough, each to their own I guess
Yeah I dont know why he said it doesnt look good. I think it looks great. Sure there are a hell of a lot of boring japanese cars out there, but there are some seriously beautiful ones as well.
@@_Zekken MK4 Supra 😍
Hello,I'm Japanese and I love this video so much. It good education video for English and every thing is gold in this time Japan. I'm proud of Japanese and love Jeremy Clarkson. This Episode very amazingly explained well about Japanese car culture in 90s. Now in Japan... so boring.
Not really. The Civic Type R, Toyota Supra, GR856, GR Yaris, Lexus LC and RC, Nissan GTR and Fairlady... Japanese companies are still putting out some good cars. The GR86 is actually really hard to buy in America because people keep ordering them as soon as they become available to pre-order.
*P H Y S I C A L I R O N I C P O W E R*
Wish I was in Japan in the 90's-00's , only saw this on DVDs years later ☹️👍
R32 GTR looks stunning
Jeremy Clarkson does know how to make documentary reports more entertaining.
God this is just amazing to watch. Look at all these amazing cars we now look at as gods and they were everywhere in the 90s
It's crazy to think that now the r32 is one of the most influenceive cars to ever come out of Japan and is hard to find a good example of one for under 150k
and they said it dont look cool
@@jean-philipperacine9865 objectively it doesn't
@@jean-philipperacine9865 well it doesn't look that good stock
Don't know if it's my age or the prices but I could not give 2 sh!ts about em anymore. Would still get one over 90% of other cars at original prices though.
150k? LMFAO. You can get a R34 for that money and those are even more overpriced. 60k will get you a really good R32. They are extremely overpriced. Get an EVO for half and you get a more reliable lighter car.
japan is a wonderful country
@User Like everything else.
Unless you live there, it's a fascist boring dystopia
what a masterpiece even till this day
I came to Japan about the time this was made, and stayed, For the cars,... and other reasons too. Now settled in the countryside with some of the most fantastic driving roads, and some very good cars with which to enjoy them.
Thanks for the upload, nice and clear.
Japan deserves a whole Motorworld Series
Motoring?
It was a very different world back then.
Never thought I'd miss the 90's as much as the 80's.
95 jeremy: japanese cars are dull
also 2017 jeremy: LFA is this best car ever
It's almost like 22 years passed between those two situations.
@@siler7 well he said the GTR is also one of the best he said
He fell in love for the R34.
He said that with the M3 e36, Ferrari CS, Laferrari, the 911 997, 991 and many other cars....
to be fair, it's an LFA.
The RX7 is beautiful
Gordon TheMan totally agree, the fd and the gen 2 viper :p are total gems
so is the mkiv supra
A80 supra is an ugly blob
Top Shagger well your opinion
20:44 I must say even those Yakuza guys were well behaved and courteous.. . when Jeremy starated questioning that Yakuza... I thought he will pull out a gun from his suit pocket.
They still love their Mercs tho
Yakuza crew members are well behaved with people that don't cause them any sort of treat (well japanese people are usually like this, it's part of their culture) I'm sure BBC called them asking for a fast meet up just to ask why they like Mercedes so much, it's such a innocent question really, no need for them to use aggressive force.
Apparently they still daily their old "street weapons" czcams.com/video/rIXsfTLdMkk/video.html
@@Filipe1020 Surely people would go out of there way NOT to cause the Yakuza trouble? Causing trouble for the Yakuza would be like just signing your own death warrant.
Or grab a bike and smack you with it.
Those Yakuza dudes are dressed and clean AF, just razor sharp. Well, if you're going to run crime professionally, you had better be classy about it!
David Hill - In Mexico they dress like shit... It doesn't matter if they're chopping someone's head off or not.
Italian mobsters hands down had the most class
@@deerlord2363 lol do yourself a favor and look up Mexican pointy boots hahahaha.
Ronald Stonecipher that was just a random style that popped up in a rural part of Mexico not the whole country dumb fuck a lot of people dress nice af in mex way better then the Italian mafias
@@gusparra4037 no they didn't, stop bringing Italians into everything
2:52 I currently have an imported '96 Toyota Celica in storage with aftermarket wheels and the writing on the wheels are as follows: "Gewalt hyper speed gear, super round design, arrows new weapons'.
Tremendous.
Japanese Designer: "It is like furniture...with an engine."
British Designers: YES
As someone who's seen legitimate motorized furniture, yes
Rover designers: triple yes
Even as old as this is, he's still right about the design of the cars. The Datsun 240z is the first and last truly beautiful, artfully designed car out of Japan. Sure, they've got curves now and look pretty, but they're pretty for the sake of being pretty and maybe some aerodynamics. The 240z had heart. It flowed like the curves of a beautiful woman. You got a visceral feeling of beauty looking at it, much like Alpha Romeo, Ferrari and the like.
How could you say the 240z is the last beautiful car when there are other nice looking cars from Japan that came out around the same time or so.

Charlie Yang Only the RX-7 and the Evo 10 deserve to be on that list. Then add the LFA. Plus, the second generation NSX doesn’t count since it was designed and built in Ohio, USA (so it’s an American car).
@@whishiwhooshi5783 Out of your list the only reason many of the original 90s cars look so good is their additional body kits to differentiate them from their plain boring base models. The rear of a Silvia S13 is one of the most boring generic rears of any car and the MK4 is bulbous and ugly apart from it's tail lights in my opinion. A Mazda and Honda put more flair into their designs and still do today along with a resurgence of good design from Toyota Recently and but generally most Japanese cars from the 90s were very conservative in their styling to the point of being generic and boring. Have you ever seen a base model GC8 Impreza, it's just a "car" and most Subaru's except for the legacy line have been what I would consider not attractive designs. What makes many of these so loved and notable now days is their history and place in popular culture especially with their blank canvas that is great for modding and reliability. As designs go I can very much see Clarkson's point of view.
You're so wrong lmao
The NSX and the RX7 are the most beautiful cars ever made
@@michaelclark3192 bro dont go correcting other persons list, this is all so subjective dude
Kenny G Paired up with Drifting felt so... Powerful to me, like it just fits right.
Whoa they had back up camera in 95???
Yes and karaoke too for every time you get stuck in traffic.
patrick posey they had a backup camera in 1956
@@yeastxtract1853 Mate, you can't just say that without the sauce.
For those wondering it was a 1956 Buick concept car. The Centurion. It replaced the rear view mirror and was used at all times rather than just reversing. It never made it to production.
This first production car to have one was in 1991 with the lovely Toyota Soarer.
patrick posey the back up camera was first invented in 1925 as a result of Japans expansion into the middle east

this dude just interview Yakuza? lol
No.. The BBC/Clarkson use actors.
They can be actual Yakuza members, even they do have PR members and Yakuza isn't necessarily filled with criminals but if you mess with them they mess with you, it's the Cosa Nostra idea basically.
well yakuza members mostly wont cause troubles to normal folks when you run into them in the streets. I often look at cars on the street and a few occasions the yakuza owners would engage in short conversation with on on car stuff
@Matteo Ricci Don't believe the weeb hype. The Yakuza will shake you down if they think there is profit just as quickly as any other organized crime faction. They ain't dumb.
Did you just call Clarkson "this dude"?
Soooo many references that are no longer current. But you gotta love those 90’s....
Clarkson is not very fond of Japan, lmao! The R32’s minimalist design is part of its charm.
he just doesnt 'get it'.. r32s look dope! euros are garbage
Yeah it looks stunning
Leather would look weird in that interior
Yeah, totally agree with you. The interior could be better though. I mean the car is awesome, but those checked fabric seats like in my grandpa's Ford Scorpio doesn't do it justice.
The r32 GTR is the best skyline of them all
Clarkson always has the best music
funny how Clarkson lambasted how unimaginative and unexcited Japanese cars are, and how Japanese LOVE a Bentley, then years later James May tells you to get a MX5 in Car of the People. How time changes things.
It's funny how the British auto industry has been decimated and in complete ruins while Japan's thrives
Autocross Racer while being owned by the French.
spudnic88 don't hate the player hate the game
Lennart, which part of japanese auto industry is OWNED by the french? Nissan? They own like 43% of Nissan shares, and in return, Nissan holds a 15% stake in Renault. Both companies live off from each other. So, do you understand the meaning of "ownership" at all? That's why it's called Renault-Nissan ALLIANCE , not Renault Group. Stick that to your head.
i fucking love the retards that take these clarkson videos a 100% seriously answer honestly you dont like eye contact do you?

This is the song from Cars the movie aswell when the tuners pull up
Interesting. This aired originally the day before I first flew / moved to Japan. I left the US on 1/6/95 and arrived on 1/7/95. 10 days later, the Great Hanshin Earthquake hit at 5:XX am. Amazing bit of nostalgia in that sense.
Here we are in 2024 and Japanese car culture is popular in the West. Drifting is still very cool and Japanese cars from the 90s are very much in demand. The GTR is iconic and very much in demand today.

Golden Era
I had a -97 Mercedes and going over a bump I felt it lift me up from it graciously but firmly, go over that bump in my 10 years newer Lexus, its the same. That tells me how good MB was in the 90s, way ahead of its time.
Dude, nostalgic AF. Love it!
This video is a great timestamp of Japan at its zenith....right after the bubble had burst five years prior in 1990. Japan was still coasting upwards at this time due to investments made when it had big money. These investments put Japan ahead of the rest of the world in technology, industrial might, and quality. Thus the amazing Japan super cars of the late 80s and 90s.
It's nice to see a very young " Drift King" here. He's still as active as ever with a regular page here on yt.

Love Japanese cars from the 80's and mid 90's! I actually like them better then today's cars in terms of style. I like Current and last gen Mazdas. But for the most part Japanese cars tend to blend in with Korean and American cars these days.

agreed, german cars are rubbish now. built and sold for "fashion" rather than reliability
@@TAOSEELE They took the BMW because developing one on their own would have rise the cost around 100k pounds (so I heard) so to keep the cost down they made a deal with BMW who already had the engine.

Alot of people associate Japan with anime, but that's not what i think of when I hear Japan, what i hear CARS, AMAZING DESIGN and AFFORDABLE FUN THAT'S NOT A HOOKER.
For me it's the tradition passed down from the samurai era. The live by the sword mentality.
I love Japan.
anime/manga industry only became known abroad after 2004-5 - and exploded in popularity by 2010.
Pre 2000 people remembers Japan for other stuff - discipline, loyalty, hard workers, efficiency and a very rich history filled with internal battling (sengoku era) and global isolation due to its location.
Of course, after world war 2, mostly for cars and electronics. They simply produced them faster and better than anyone else, even if the original ideas wasn't theirs.
@@yamidachannel thats in the us, here in france anime came in the late 80s early 90s
@@travosk8668 referring in a broader manner, you're probably thinking about 80s and 90s dubbed anime such as dragon ball, pokemon, or even 00s naruto or one piece - not the whole subculture itself. that only began it's true globalization after the 00s (mainly because viewers back then saw these shows in the 90s, dubbed) and especially 10s, where the industry itself began to also gear merchandise throughout the rest of the world.
Japanese cars from that period are the best, ever, looks، a bit, and reliability...
Still love the bit where DK is banging on about how amazing he is and while drifting he's showing off flipping the peace sign only to bin it 🤦🏻😅 priceless!
