No, not Seijun Suzuki's nihilistic gangster classic, but The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. This is the third volume of the F&F franchise, with basically no connection to the Vin Diesel original (except for a surprise cameo). Of course, that movie had no relation to the original Fast and Furious except the title (and cars, I guess), so fine, no complaints.
Bad boy Lucas Black can't stop racing, so he's sent to Tokyo to live with his dad. He falls in with a fast crowd of outcasts, yakooza and b-gals, all centered around a drift racing scene. Drifting involves taking corners at high speeds in a controlled skid.
I won't spoil the plot for you (OK, I will - our hero wins the big race), but I will let you know there's a ton of fancy driving and fast Japanese cars. If you like that, you'll like this.
Also, Street Fighter JJ Sonny Chiba plays the head Yakooza.
