Zeroyon, Rolling, and Gurachan Zoku

90s era offshoots of the Bosozoku.
They are different from Bosozoku. The Gurachan are the coolest lol
What the Gurachan are doing is so unique and I think artistic.
If they were in a more welcoming country, they probably would be much more respected for their artistic ability and efforts. But in Japan most people just see them as idiots lol

I like Bosozoku more. I wish they would make a comeback.



.

Although the Bosozoku are dying, they seem to have reappeared in other countries like in South Korea. It is strange how they are celebrating independence from Japan by using a Japanese Subculture. Alot of Koreans told me this is not Japanese, but even the word bosozoku is Japanese.





I guess it is similar to Chinese people singing anti-Japanese songs while enjoying a Japanese pasttime Karaoke. Or anti-western activists using the internet to spread anti-american messages.

Japanese Yakuza Backed Forgery Ring arrested in South Korea




1 minute 18 seconds -

A Japanese man and a Korean man with known Yakuza connections were arrested in Seoul, South Korea on allegations that they made US $2 million by selling 30,000 forged prepaid highway cards valued at US $130 each.

We Japanese should remember foreigners are not the only ones that come and commit crimes in Japan. We have to be fair and know that we also goto other countries as well.
