It's funny how that stuff is only popular outside Japan and with just a few Hip-hop enthusiasts here in Japan. No one in my classroom knew what I was talking about when I mentioned Tokyo Drift and Teriyaki Boyz. Not only that, but neither some older guys who I assume are into J-pop, rock and rap knew about them. Such an irony to me. For me, that gives me something to talk about.
