00:00I have always been fascinated about the Japanese culture, the Samurais and their types of hair.
00:09I'm Matterzaps and I'm on a mission to explore skateboarding's outside edge.
00:13Hop in as we travel the globe meeting skateboarding's mavericks to find out what skating means to them.
00:42Japan, Osaka! Just got here, gonna visit Chopper and the Daggers. Those guys have a completely different style of skateboarding
00:52than anywhere else.
00:53Plus, Osaka is said to be the kitchen of Japan. So we're gonna try some yum yum yum.
01:13We got Mikey. He's been living in England, so he's gonna translate for us.
01:18Hi. What's up? How are you?
01:20Hi. My name is Matterz. What's your name?
01:24My name is Chopper.
01:25Osaka Daggers are the leading lights of the Japanese skate underground.
01:30More than any other group, they are responsible for the explosion of interest in Japan's unique skate scene and style
01:36within the global skateboard community.
01:38Secretive and highly motivated, they intrigue and impress in equal parts with their commitment, creativity and uniquely artistic output.
01:51Here we are at the Triangle Plaza, the most famous skate spot in Osaka.
01:56And this is where the Daggers skate.
02:02Youngest member of the crew, Hayate.
02:07Hello, Matterz.
02:08Nice to meet you.
02:09Yeah, nice to meet you too.
02:11Mr. Handsome?
02:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:1348 years old.
02:15Most old.
02:15And?
02:17Shhh.
02:18No, hey.
02:20Apparently, last time, Evan Smith was here, he signed his head.
02:24And he signed Evan's head.
02:27Please, top secret.
02:32I'm sorry.
02:33Thank you so much, everyone.
02:34We go to an event for some of the crew, and I'm just thinking of a bike.
02:40And we'd like to share the tour!
02:48Who'd like to share the tour?
02:51He's out?
02:52It's like, it's like the train.
02:52You know, I don't know.
02:54I don't know if you're a team, but I don't think it's a culture.
03:02The culture of the punk culture and the culture,
03:07I think it's a kind of thing.
03:11It's a kind of thing.
03:12The boss of Halloween,
03:17I was here to go.
03:21I was here to go.
03:22I was here to go.
03:23I was here to go.
03:25So, we started the Dugars.
03:55The back pocket is like this, right?
03:59It's like a McDonald's M.
04:39I think there are many styles of styles, but I don't think there's a lot of different styles, but I
04:46think there's a lot of different styles.
05:12Today was a great day.
05:15I learned some new tricks completely out of this earth and skateboarding is more fun than ever.
05:29Today is a mellow day.
05:30We're just cruising around town getting some food and gonna wait for the sun to set down so we can
05:36go to Triangle Park.
05:46Out here street food is very popular so that's our big mission for today.
05:52Eat as much food on the streets as possible.
06:02This is called Tokoyaki, traditional most famous Osaka street food.
06:11So hot!
06:14Gonna try out some scallops and crabs on a skewer.
06:26Mmmmm.
06:27Definitely not vegan.
06:29I'm sorry squid.
06:34It's a mystery what's inside.
06:38Mmmmm.
06:40It's good. Okonomiyaki contains two words. Yaki, which is fried, and okonomiyaki is whatever
06:49you like, so whatever your preference is. Why is this thing moving? This fish is still
06:56alive. The people who know me, they know I like my sweets. So this is an ice cream sandwich
07:04with matcha green tea. I like a very matcha. Banana? Am I a tourist?
07:30At first, it's a strong personality, so it's hard to be brainwashers.
07:38It's a lot of people who have themselves. It's a fashion, but it's an identity.
08:00The Dagger's shop. One of my all-time favorite characters, Charlie Chaplin.
08:11The Dagger's shop is called The Dagger's shop. The office, the office, and the工房.
08:20The stars, like this. This is hand sewing.
08:24The Dagger's shop. It's a lot to pay attention. The whole thing is that living here.
08:31The other thing is that the Dagger's shop is that she wants to play the shirt on while it's
08:54I'm a member of the PUNK BAND and I'm a member of the PUNK BAND.
08:57I'm a member of the PUNK BAND and I'm a member of the PUNK BAND.
09:12I want to make a messenger bag of skateboards.
09:18I want to make a skateboard that is so hard to use.
09:32I'm a member of the PUNK BAND.
09:35I'm a member of the PUNK BAND.
09:38I've been a member of the PUNK BAND.
09:46He's a party.
09:48Triangle Park is not a big park, but on weekends it's crowded.
09:52Until now, I've had a bunch of pictures,
10:00I've won't put them into my pocket.
10:02I'm a member of the PUNK BAND,
10:02my friends are just like the same type of photo with the PUNK BAND.
10:05The PUNK BAND so much.
10:09It's like their figura in a men's interior.
10:11But now I'm a member of the PUNK BAND.
10:15Day number two, Osaka, Triangle Plaza. It's cold, but skateboarding keeps us warm.
10:44I'm doing skateboarding, and I'm doing the job 3 times.
10:50I'm doing the job 3 times.
10:53I'm doing the job 3 times.
10:55So I'm doing the job 3 times.
10:56I'm doing the job 3 times.
10:57So I do all the job 3 times.
11:06You can have cars to the side.
11:06I'm doing the job 3 times.
11:22Let's go.
12:08Good morning.
12:10We're going to go skate some street because we've got to wait until night time because
12:14that's when the daggers really skate.
12:16So daytime, we do our own thing.
12:24Almost shit in my pants, literally.
12:30We're going to go to Osaka Castle right now.
12:36He runs this skate shop.
12:38Randomly met him in the metro stop.
12:50Can't believe skateboarding has brought me to so many places, man.
12:54Another one for the books.
12:57This is one of the main landmarks in Osaka.
13:00So if you get lost in the city, follow this.
13:14I don't know.
13:18I don't know.
13:19I don't know.
13:25I don't know.
13:26I don't know.
13:30I don't know.
13:31I don't know.
13:48I don't know.
13:52I don't know.
13:57I don't know.
14:01I don't know.
14:01I don't know.
14:07You're welcome to Osaka.
14:10You're handsome.
14:11Awesome.
14:16A shitty flip in Japanese.
14:18Shitty is your butt, so you use your butt to flip the board.
14:41I have a copy of the board, so I can't do it.
14:46I'm not a good one, and I don't have the value.
14:51I don't have a copy of the board, so I can't do it.
14:53It's a pretty good one.
14:54It's the best thing to do with the board.
14:59It's a good one.
15:12But when I was born in Japan, I had no idea why I didn't see the skater media.
15:21I didn't see the skater media, and for 10 years, I didn't see the skater media.
15:52Japanese night.
15:57I don't understand what he's laughing about. I'm just becoming handsome, that's it.
16:02Hey, let's change his hat. What's so funny?
16:08What's so funny, man? Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing?
16:12You're mad!
16:24Why are you laughing, why are you laughing, and why are you laughing?
16:39Why are you laughing? How are you laughing?
16:43Why are you laughing?
16:45I don't know...
16:45It's probably the second generation in Japan.
16:49Sorry.
17:15I'm a follower.
17:17I'm a boss.
17:19I'm a father.
17:22Thank you guys so much for welcoming us.

19:17What is skateboarding to you?
19:21Skateboarding is skateboarding.
19:24Thank you so much for the interview.
19:26Thank you too.
19:27It was a good time.
19:28Good time.
19:29Very fun.
19:30Good.
19:32Japan's Osaka daggers are a very unique bunch.
19:35Far from the skateboarding mainstream, they've forged their own creative path.
19:40In a country like Japan, where traditions are a big part of the social fabric, their rebellious nature really stands
19:46out.
19:47Their looks, their style, their videos have created its own distinct skate culture movement.
19:52I like that a lot.
19:55Another one for you all.
19:58Another one for you all.
19:59Another one for you all.
