Albo is a Canadian filmmaker, YouTuber, and storyteller residing in Japan since 2010. Before his tenure in Tokyo, Albo dedicated seven years in Gunma Prefecture, engaging in street racing and drifting. Motivated to chronicle this underground phenomenon, he produced the documentary series Drift Hunter, which has 55,000 subscribers on YouTube, 21,000 followers on Instagram, and 10,000 admirers on Facebook. His primary objective is to create a drift hunters Hollywood film that authentically portrays the realm of Japanese street racing.

"Listen, I am coming!" - Pay attention, they are approaching! An exuberant voice to my left cries as enormous wails and screeches reverberate over the valley.

I check my camera to ensure my settings are properly adjusted. Manual focus confirmed.

Upon elevating the lens to eye level, a vivid yellow light emanates from a point one hundred feet distant. Suddenly, the illumination vanishes as a shrill scream permeates the atmosphere, only to be followed by blinding light as a Toyota Cresta navigates the curve in an impeccable drift, directly in front of a patchwork Nissan 180sx, a Panda AE86, and a thunderous Silvia S15.

The odor of burning rubber permeates the atmosphere, and a shiver traverses my spine as I reflexively retreat. The earth quakes as four turbo-powered drift missiles crash by, barely inches from my lens, like a stampede of a thousand bulls.

I have had an enduring fascination with automobiles. I had the archetypal Lamborghini Countach poster over my racing-themed bed. Prior to obtaining my license, I refined my driving abilities in Gran Turismo and invested my part-time income into the Initial D arcade machine at the mall.
