Japan's Custom Lamborghini Legend
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- Shinichi Morohoshi is Tokyo's self-made Lamborghini king, a man who built an empire on the back of repeated tragedies. His heavily customized supercars capture the over-the-top style of Kabukichō, winning him fans and detractors worldwide.
But a prison sentence, a horrible accident, and bankruptcy nearly cost him everything. VICE visits Morohoshi’s Fighting Star garage to see how he rose to fame by consistently going against the grain.

Say what you want about his taste but his love for his car is genuine af.
i love how the car looks, extreme japanese design fashion
He had a very bad car accident on his Lamborghini and what car does it get him again
I totally agree. The modifications may not be my style but the guy is doing what makes him happy and nobody should fault him for that.
Welcome to the car community. Once someone understands that, they fit in.

I love how he just skips over what is probably an epic story of his career in organised crime
Seriously he skipped the real story as to how he made the money the first time AND the second time LMAO.
shame is the top priority of every Japanese. that's why he skips the crime story because he felt shame maybe...
You mean part two of the show
EXACTLY. For what we know he could have been running a pheadofile rape ring. Vice just skips it.

Holy smokes!!! It's really him Mohoroshi, am I the only one who knows him from the Need For Speed (2015) videogame? The dude's a living legend
I'm all ears, was he a character?

We welcome you.
I was scrolling looking for a Need For Speed comment 🙏🏼
This man is a legend, famously doesn't stop for anyone.
He has an almost non existent uncut appendage.
@Mel Gibbson The whole point of Lamborghini's is to be flashy, and these aren't priceless classics, they make 10s of thousands every year. I would rather have this than it sit in a garage for the next 60 years.
@Mel Gibbson if this was anywhere else in the world, I would absolutely agree. However, it being in Japan somehow makes it work
@Mel Gibbson at least he enjoyed doing it and he likes the way it looks that’s what counts.
@@SR009s we do it right here In the u.s., with crazy wraps, carbon fiber (everything) and so on. The ppl who have money to burn, aren't worried about resale value or what ppl think! They can spend 6,700k or more on a car and give 2 shits about it. Its chump change to those folks!
These guys been Legends in Japan for about 20 years
More like 30, theyve been doing it since early 90's
@@helioszxc yeah, first they were doing it with bikes, the bosozoku
@@martimgamito6147 exactly :) vice has also a documentary with bosozoku and it mentions many interesting facts about them, if you havent seen it yet...
@@martimgamito6147 Nah this is a distinctly different design language from bosozoku. Not every eccentric car customization in Japan is bosozoku.
No one asked
"I made so much money in my 20s that suddenly the cops showed up at my place and I lost all my money and friends" is a good way of saying "I was a drug dealer, one of the first in the Japan of the 80s, and then I got caught" (Note: in the 80s Japan basically had no real anti-drug laws outside of the perimeter of opium that was banned from Chinese and South-asian import since the early '900. So basically some smart kids started smuggling marijuana in from Australia and made a fortune before organized crime took over that business).
If someone said that car is an ricer, well that ain't ordinary rice dude, that's an fried rice with Wagyu rendang topping on it.
Whoa?! Wagyu rendang? I would never think i'd hear that 2 words in a sentence
Wagyu rendang umm... Sounds delicious but some will say u waste the meat at the same time..
Blue fin tuna sauce on the wagyu, with a glass of cambodian breast milk
If you cook it like Gordon Ramsay, wagyu rendang is good. Just make sure you cook the meat and paste separately. People mix it since it was originally used buffalo meat which are so stringy and rubbery unless cooked for hours like how they made rendang
Lol
You can't please everyone, do what you like and enjoy company of likeminded people.
top most people with drip video?
Psst. Most expensive automobiles ever made
Key to happiness right here.
Truly enjoyed your video. #mrslav
This is some of the best advice i have had in years
"i compulsively bought 2 more lambos. " lmao. legend he is
He missed his car and bought another just in case he crashed
I respect this guy. Not my taste of cars, but you feel the passion he puts into his work and that is beautiful to see. Keep it up!
He definitely is a Legend. Been through some big life crisis and still fought his way back to his love of Lamborghini! Respect!
Morohoshi's a literal legend, glad he never stopped like others do

Nice comment, Bad grammar.
You no it
@@bryn6844 no you don’t understand he means he was standing on the disc of gta v while robbing a bank
**buys tempesta after watching this vid**

He’s the main character in Japan.
Sad truth of it all is those who were bashing him for customizing these expensive cars is jealously
Yeah, he's living his best life, customising his own supercars and driving them like a boss. He's happy and successful doing what he loves, we all wish for this kind of life.
@@SmootherThanSilkNo, I want to be a lawyer, so I can screw people over and so I can buy the Lamborghini Diablo

Fucking destroyed every cool thing in this video. I'm sure he means well but "customizing" a work of art is the height of douchery and let's everyone know you don't understand what class and taste really are.
You ever think that maybe mf just vape just to vape
haha
@@SuperLarrythompson there's plenty of cars to go around no need for this talk
@@SuperLarrythompson You seem to not understand what "art" is. Its a way of expressing one's self, an what one supports or believes. It does not have to be acknowledged by the world. That's not what its intended for, this is his way of expressing himself, his way of being different. No need for such talk, if you disapprove then state it politely or work hard and get your own "stock" lambo. That would be your way of expressing yourself.
He looks like one of the Chairman of the Tojo Clan in Yakuza 0 .
I thought the same exact thing!! LMAO
maybe he was
He is a yakuza boss lol.
He's kuze, he dyed his hair blonde after being released from prison
Awano aniki
This Man is a pure legend
as someone who lives in japan, this stuff still shocks me, you dont really get used to it (at least if you are a car guy) seeing the japanese take on imported cars is really cool and even if you dont like what they make and tell yourself "id never drive that" them and the Malaysians are the only ones who pull this type of stuff off and could not care less about what you think, either you like it or shut up basically. That is something I respect a lot about these guys even if I cant respect them any other way
No matter who you are, everybody have 1 thing to love about japan

i really love Morohoshi
His attitude is an inspiration and his cars look amazing
I don't care how many documentations of him RUclips throws at me. I watch them all.
This guy is living THE life. Wish him all the best!
I mean he is in the Yakuza according to reporting on him.
I wish for him to be in prison with his other criminal friends :)
How would you wish him all the best, while he is hurting innocent people
@@Zwegtube did he get the money to buy lamborghini from illegal activities like drugs, prostitution and scamming people?
@@yan2503 Propably yes. Nothing is known about his business in the public. Just that he is a Yakuza and he has made his money in "the grey area" as he calls it.
he doesn't actually seem happy. a lambo won't fulfill your life. fuk nm what am I saying
Cars aren't my thing, but I love the story about Morohoshi's drive to pursue what he wants.
This guy is a legend ... he makes me want move to Japan
This guy is so humble that I dig what he does.
"If you don't like being constrained by other people, stay away from the path they walk" - Shinichi Morohoshi puffs a few smokes from the vape pen . .. kickass

@@davidmitchell3997 nah Ill try the Lamborghini but thanks
he showed what "tokyo drift" means
he's an artist who's his own best customer
“But I was just doing what I considered to be cool”
That’s the key
Believe it or not this is a story I've been reading when I got the notification for this video:
A guy in a Lamborghini who broke down on a desolate highway. This dude with an old geo metro comes buzzing up, the driver was a mechanic. He takes a look at the Lamborghini engine and turns a screw a half-turn, the engine starts right up. Lamborghini driver says thanks how much do I owe you? Mechanic replies, “$100”, Lamborghini driver yells, “I’m not paying that much for you to barely turn a screw!’, mechanic answers, “no, I turned the screw for free. You owe me $100 for knowing what screw to turn.”
i have only been to 1 mechanic for close to 20 years now
because he is honest
I never trust mechanics and always do the work myself. And even then, ive been known to scam myself time to time.
@@pluto8404 alright that last part made spit out my water. "A persons true enemy is oneself"
Wtf ??? 2 things you got right in your story 1.Few rotten apples in the mechanic domain 2. Mechanics usually drives POS cars. But cars like a lamborghini cannot be fixed by half a turn of a single screw. Maybe in the carburetor days tho..
That fix cost the lambo driver a lot more than $100, getting work done on a supercar by a mechanic who isn't affiliated with the brand is gonna lower the resale value substantially.
Nothing more cool then seeing a buncha wild cars in a Japanese shop with those low garage doors. The vibe 🥵
The part whereby he kept from everybody a secert and work on the car himself is impressive. That's Resilience at it's best
Could you be “Wong”?!
You’re comment is spot on! He does give off a vibe of like a Han from Fast and the Furious. Calm, cool, confidence, but humble....kind of vibe. Cool dude
Who else been waiting years since the trailer came out to see this "I ride through life on my own terms make my own roads" OMG every word from this man so inspirational
No one just you, no life having scrub
Interesting that in no part does he say where he gets the money to do all this

He is Yakuza connected from the Entertainment district. He was featured in NFS 2015 and articles from a few years back.

I love the JDM take on Euro and US cars... id rock that seizure machine
LoL absolutely seizure machine, imagine person with epilepsy passing this on a street wih all the green flashy thing. how fast it can trigger u
I love the futuristic mindset the Japanese have, there’s a kind of magic to it. His cars feel like they’ve jumped out of the pages of a Manga story.
Sticking addressable RGB all over your car and painting it a highlighter green is far from “futuristic”. Nobody really does it because it’s super tacky and a ricer mod.

Word is his shoes tie themselves.
I remember years ago he was being portrayed in some parts of the world as destroying these cars. Once I was able to learn about him, I respected his passion for making his vehicles his own and actually enjoying them in the ways that he wants to.
He still takes a lot of grief in certain Lambo circles to this day.
