Documentary | Bosozoku the Motorcycle Gangs from Japan 暴走族

For decades the Japanese Bosozoku or “Speed Tribes” have worn their kamikaze uniforms, fought rival gangs and roamed the nighttime streets with their loud custom motorcycles, all while embarrassing Japanese police with their wars on wheels. But now the authorities have turned the tables on them with more restrictive laws and new tactics.
“Sayonara Speed Tribes” is a documentary on the life of Hazuki, leader of the legendary SPECTER gang. As a retired bosozoku, having joined the yakuza (Japanese mafia), he became a mentor to less-enthusiastic bikers, far from the glory days as a bosozoku warrior. Hazuki became more and more disillusioned with his life as a gangster and used the tools he used best: his fists. By training kick-boxing he was able to prove that surviving his street fighting days is even more daunting than facing the gang he has turned his back on.

  1. Why do you want to be part of something everybody despises, the bosozoku's sole purpose is to inconvenience the rest of society.

  2. This is rearing up to be one of the most fascinating and intimate biographies on this subject I’ve ever seen. Usually you only ever see this point in Japanese history as a detached caricature in anime and manga, it’s almost hard to believe such rebellious crews could even exist in such a stereotypically polite country like Japan. But many of these young men lived in a post war era, the country was still building up from the Second World War, and needed to find purpose somehow. 5:34 to get the parents perspective is something I’d never image having the chance to see, what a gift ❤

  3. 暴走族に宗教的依存の背景は無い。最後の天理教は個人の信教の話
