Yup pain in the butt! Got use to the noise and learn to tune out the noise, but they never rode directly pass my house.
Heheh keep up the good work fella and, as always, stay safe!
Obviously the police will do nothing but it’d be funny if someone dumped a ton of tacks on a particular road or two late one night……
Community is scared. Need some kind of repercussions
11:10 ok grandad, remember, we were nobheads once 😂
It's very frustrating when the police do nothing in these situations.
Yes, this attitude has baffled me for a long time. A friend of mine dared to politely ask a neighbour to consider doing chainsaw work (firewood) during the day and not at night. The response was aggressive and rude. The complaint to the local Council was in vain. People have the 'freedom' to do whatever they like on their respective properties. My friends family had no choice but to sell up and move out and away. 'Harmony' was restored in favour of the idiots. That seems to be the acceptable norm in Japan.

Sounds like a case for vigilante justice
We, the cast of The George Lucas Superlive Adventure, stayed at a hotel near Shin Yokohama station. The bousozoku used to circle all around the neighborhood. They left after we pelted them with water balloons from the upper floors of the hotel.
While it is annoying, Japan could use some excitement. Not sure why you're surprised the police wont do anything, manhood in Japan is dead.
Such a strange phenomena in Japan, I have two books that explain their origins and history. Some of them really take pride in their bikes and the culture that surrounds it.
As a car and bike person I would love to see them in person but can totally understand the annoyance they produce.
Curious why Japanese police have so much apathy for crimes that would be ticketed and enforced far more in other countries (seatbelt laws, districted while driving are two specific crimes that wouldn’t be ignored nearly as much. Maybe it’s the extent that you cannot enforce in Japan while other countries make it pretty clear that children especially have to keep their seatbelts on and its the driver is responsible of each of the passengers).
It reminds me of the YouTube video where a rogue elephant kicks over a motorcycle I’m sure you just want to do the same thing
There are also the loud sound trucks blaring political statements.
get the rocks ready for those idiots..
Didn't think I'd see TJC doing ASMR.
About a menacing as mosquitos. I genuinely do not understand the appeal. It'd be one thing if the bikes actually looked or sounded good, but they look ridiculous, and sound like weed eaters in need of repair. It'd be comical if they weren't so pesky or annoying.
sounds like the bikers have more power than we know about. Maybe they are associated with the 'local village protectors of the past.'
Any tattoos?
What gets me is that there are actually noice limits for cars and bikes at night here in Japan. It’s BS pull over a foreigner to check ID yet these guys get a free pass…. police here are pussies
Saturday night cicadas
They make loud noise to compensate for their micro-penises. 😂
Within the city of Zurich, Switzerland, you can hear the sound of the Ferraris, Lamborghini, eg. driving around the clubs…
Personally I don't mind noisy bike groups (even though, as a family person I would be very concerned and vigilant if some gangs or yakuzas were chilling nearby) but these videos on the reality of life in Japan are the ones that are typically the most informative and containing many new aspects of Japan for the viewers since just like you mentioned many times before, Japanese media all seem to only contain the positives, ads and even the shameless uptalking and "we're superior" stuff of their own and most other YouTubers in Japan, tend to ONLY talk about amusing and positive stuff (maybe like those police officers they're too scared of any negative comments from bigots and narcissistic nationalistic selfworshippers in Japan) so I learned MANY MANY of the more realistic stuff on Japan from your channel BECAUSE it includes all of life in Japan and not only the fun parts, I feel like it gives a way more realistic and wholistic picture of how life is like in Japan than anywhere else I'd seen. For example, if I wanted to move to Japan, I'd think your channel would prepare me better as opposed to a channel that claims Japan is a heaven that responds to everyone's expectations and wishes at no price and at no sacrifice!
I hope this doesn't come in too harsh to Japan fanatics but I find any police forces that are too scared of those exact same groups they need to stop or arrest or look into, pretty pathetic (I don't mean that as an insult but as someone who was an aspiring police detective I can't turn a blind eye to useless or lazy or corrupted cops) since the idea is that anytime the people were needing help with safety and security they go to the police for them to solve it and then what? The police will be like "oh we're sorry but we're too scared of them to stop them for you so if they harmed you in any way, we can't do anything about it"! It's like how we add salt to anything we don't want spoiled and then suddenly seeing that the salt itself is spoiled! If they feel like they're not equipped enough to handle them, they do need to be equipped with whatever they need to do so be it guns or batons or tasers, etc. and like you said, the higher up felons or gang members are all in their offices in shady parts of the cities, they're not going to take a joyride on their Harleys making as much noise and annoyance as they can for others so what goes in the police's head shouldn't be like "if I arrest this young annoying people-bullying buck, some whole gang of yakuzas he's an unreplacable member of is gonna wreck me". Meanwhile I hear this left and right that the cops in Japan ask even young foreign girls who are barely out of their teen years in Japan to show them their identity documents! Apparently those innocent young ladies are way too likely to be into messed up crimes than sadistic dudes on their bikes that are tripping their "power" is bullying people in the middle of the night and are already breaking the rules and common politeness and civil-living principles.
They sound like a swarm of mentally retarded wasps on steroids.
My guess is a sad combination of low intelligence and sexual inadequacy; that's what we get here in the states with the oversized pickup trucks with extra tall lift kits and 'coal-rolling' exhausts.
Never heard bosozoku in Japan, but I did stay in a pretty quiet neighbourhood. And it's as you say: There's quiet, and then there's quiet.
Last summer in my country in one resort town was big buz about bikes and their big noise so government prohibited some areas to drive bikes 🤭 in summer here time by time can hear it and it is really annoying. IDK how they on bikes can stand that noise are they deaf?
I am now driving for a living and I get to see a lot more things like this. I saw a person on an Inmotion scooter the other day, ride up behind a police car, ride past it in the oncoming lane, and turn left across traffic, on a red light! I then watched as the police did nothing?!?!
Do they have the term "Bozos" in Japan?
At least it's not Babymetal band playing at 10,000 Watts or maybe a bandmates playing at 3:00 in the morning rock group although bandmates is actually pretty good they're good tea and coffee house music or at least it's not k-pops 21 playing really loud sounds like they're just trying to have some rebellious fun and it seems like it's pretty harmless compared to a soccer stadium riots and South America or in Europe or a bunch of crazy Americans at football game tearing down stadium signs and letting off fireworks at 3:00 in the morning every morning every weekend letting off fireworks when there's fire danger constantly as if they invented fireworks
Nobody wants to be the first to complain so nothing happens.
We had this problem in Kamakura. People told us it has been like this for decades. The police do nothing. But they would hide behind a bush during rush hour to catch someone making an illegal turn. As you said, they go for the easy targets.
