I watched them once in Yoyogi Park and unfortunately the loudspeakers which they had at that time were just awful. It was a nice performance though. I made a short clip and uploaded it to Youtube as well. It’s a time machine! ;)

Whether seen as macho to a humorous fault or just so cool we can’t keep up, the dancers in Yoyogi Park have been at this for years. I’ve seen surprisingly little information on this subculture; everyone has videos and photos, but what makes these guys tick? Do they ever get young people to join? What is their official nomenclature? Will they die out? Do they care?

It is actually very diverse and complex. There are many different types of greasers; who live many different types of lives. There are a few constants; the tight and tight pompadour, leather jackets, and jack boots are staples of the greaser way of life.

On the yankii side of things, but not necessarily straight up bosozoku. Came out of the big Fifties revival at the end of the '70s. Died off later in the '80s, but the original guys — pushing 50 in some cases — are still out there once in a while.
