I wouldn't call it a video about the culture, I'd call it a short biography of some guy that owns a gross looking lamborghini. This screams "look at me everyone, look at how rich and bad ass I am, right guys? right?"

you can be sure all the people in that culture are similar or have similar beliefs that lead them to similar actions... therefore similar results.

IMO, a lot of these Japanese sub-cultures (eg. bosozoku) and society phenomenons (eg. hikikomori) are really backlashes against the closed and highly conformist society that Japan is. A lot of people crave for freedom and individuality, but in Japan, as the Japanese saying goes, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down". So depending on the personality, some people withdraw into themselves (as is the case for hikikomori), while others seek these off-the-wall sub-cultures as channels of expression for themselves.

Those are some silly looking bikes. I never understood why the Japanese are so "flashy" or maybe I just think so.

Keeping this in mind...
This video is only cool to people like us with a culture like us. But if you ask Japanese people themselves, young or old, cool or uncool... these sub-cultures aren't considered cool, much like other things we idolize in our western society...
ie.
We worship gangsters... being a Yakuza is a huge turn off to most girls in Japan, and practically labels you a social leper where no one wants anything to do with you.
We worship street racers... "hashiriya" is actually considered a geeky culture there.

Guy comes off as a total poseur. "I'm so bad, look at me! I always wanted to grow up to be a badass!" The loudest person in the room usually has the least to offer....
As for Japanese Lamborghini's, LB Performance is where it's at:   | |
