Widet saysGet support for Red BullDriver who has also shown active in Formula Drift Championships. It seems to be interested in Japan's remodeled car culture called "Nihon style", and also shows the situation that the wavelength matches well with the stakeholders who appear in the movie.


First of all it appeared, Liberty Walk, a custom shop located in Owariasahi City, Aichi Prefecture. We are customizing carry-on vehicles and selling complete cars, but the words "remodeling", not "tuning", "dress up", and "custom" are the ones expressing the style of the shop.


Mr. Widet introduces "one of the people who represent the style of Nihon" is Wataru Kato of the same store. We spiritually pierce the body and talk policies before Ferrari with overt fender attached.


"I also like high end super cars, but Kato says that I still like old old-style cars that I was riding with when I was removing licenses and there was no money."


The car that was riding at that time talks as "car of first love" and talks about the strength of his thought.


He said that he is working thinking only about "how will everyone be pleased, they will be touched." It seems to be "to be pushed by Facebook or an instant."


Mr. Widet and Mr. Kato who show car how they understand each other, even if the words do not fit satisfactorily.


Next is the world of the so-called "American car".


Representative Ushita of "Choros Custom" setting up a store in the western part of Aichi Prefecture will answer the interview.


In this shop, we dealt with the whole car called "low-rider" which we lowered the height of the car drastically, mainly we have customized cars of the 1970's ... ...


From the appearance like a bomb, he sometimes touches the car of the 50's called "Bomb" or the car of the 30's.


"I wanted to stand out at the beginning, but recently I can enjoy having a lot of fun," Mr. Ushida said. Mr. Widet says, "There is a small garage in the middle of the field, a group of well-matched people gathering and sending out to the city once in a while, that's cool."


What is being taken up next is a style to remodel minicars, which is a Japanese proprietary standard.


Especially, we are focusing on "light tiger custom" to remodel light tigers.


"When I started modding the car in the old days, it was a" reckless family style "," Oda's representative of a custom shop "Haro Supesharu" that handles minicars, mainly.


"In the old days I was rebuilding the law, but now it is a reckless family style, but I am remodeling the" legal style "car that can take legitimate rides by taking an official inspection."


Although it has an intense over fender, this also acquires the number through all the car inspections, and although I feel a bit lower car height, it is said that it is in a condition that it can do public road running without problems.


Mainly dress up the content of remodeling. "Japanese like to have fun, and since dressing up is fun, there are quite a lot of people who like car remodeling," he says about the situation in Japan.


What appeared on a light tiger that was remodeled to Decorato ... ...


It was Mr. Widet.


Next was Lamborghini · Aventador which was decorated so that the LEDs glitter around the body.


"The reason to give the LED to the Lamborghini is that it is not interesting even if it runs normally, and Shinichi Shinichi says that I'm giving out ideas as I think it is cool."


Anyway the doctorate Lamborghini group. It was said that he was aiming for the remodeling of the car by being shocked by Decorato and the movie "Star Wars" etc.


Mr. star is a well-known person in the world of Lamborghini, and he is a person who has been "scolded" from the Lamborghini headquarters due to too much remodeling.


Mr. Osamu says, "I do not buy a Lamborghini normally and do not ride it, I think that it's an outlaw from the world that I'm riding a custom as I like, but I will take the road from a small time Because I lived out and living, no matter what I say, I do not think anything. "


And Mr. Widet appeared shining as shiny as deckra "The most crazy in Japanese car culture". "I have not seen anything like this in any country in the world."


Hayashi of the decorator owner talks about "the fact that I saw the movie" track truck "when I was a child about the chance.


Before getting a license and getting on the car, it was a boy who got on "decocharri" to light the bicycle and went to a place where Deccola gathers and took pictures. Regarding the reason for riding Decoratra, "I think that it is best to do something that is different from people, not ordinary, but stand out."


Regarding the enjoyment of riding in Decorato, "I can meet various people, and if I turn on the electricity in this way, various people come and come."


Lastly, Mr. Yamashita appeared as "SOUKI" that is doing musical activities as an EDM unit. The car follows the "reckless family style".


The beginning of the so-called "highway road racer" culture, I longed for the old Japanese racing car, started managing it and started running around the city.



"Ryokan and highway racers are Japanese wallike style cars and they are close to the lowrider in the United States," SOUKI says.


Mr. Widet talks about the charm of the reckless family style, "Perfect" protruding ", where the surrounding voice is not tot at all and each car has a personality quite different."


As expected, I feel that this "bamboo yarrow muffler" should not run on the public road ... ...


Mr. SOUKI says, "There is an image of making my own works and making my own cars, so I am making both of them with my pride."


The end of the movie was closed with the appearance of the capital high speed "Daikoku Parking Area" where many cars such as remodeled cars gather.
