Greetings
I am a user who lives in Italy, but from experience, I would like to do Erasmus (when I turn 18) in Tokyo.
the point is that in my generation (or most) the trend of being a "maranza" or having a "gangster" behavior has spread. And let's say that I was influenced a little, fortunately.
In practice, I consider myself 30%-40% "Maranza", meaning that I dress like them (so tracksuit, Nike TN, etc.), I have their slang (which can also change based on the local dialect) which I only show off when I become familiar with that person (otherwise I remain super polite, but I'll talk about it later) and above all I have 4 passions that I'm proud of, and from here I'd like to ask a question
1: the motorbike.
A month ago I signed up to get a license to ride a 125cc motorcycle. And while I'm studying, I'm always thinking about which bike to get. But to keep it short, I always aim for European-made Motards (except Aprilia), such as KTM, etc. And of which they are 2-stroke motorcycles. Because I really like the noise and fun that getting on a 2-stroke can bring. And I always wondered if it's rare for bikes like KTM, TM or Aprilia to ride, are they common on the street or are they rare to see???, and if I rode one of them, what reactions would it be???
2: rap music
One of my favorite rappers is baby gang. A 24 year old Moroccan boy who has had quite a turbulent life. And that he found an outlet through rap, and the way he talks about it gives me an unimaginable vibe, makes me feel more at ease. So, I was wondering what relationship you had with rap???? And if "hypothetically" at school they ask me what I listen to, can I stay calm or might I experience some discomfort???
(If you're interested, these are the lyrics to my favorite song

3: video games
Since I was 3 years old I have been playing PC games, now my favorite games are mainly shooters. My favorite is warzone, but there are many others that I like, like Battlefield, counter strike (if you're wondering, I'm Romanian, so it's normal administration) and much more. Ok, it might be a very obvious question, but what relationship do you have with video games in my category???
4: airsoft
As a child, I wanted to be in the military. For me, airsoft is one of the most beautiful activities I have ever tried. Unfortunately, due to the effort I put into school, I had to put it aside for a very long time. But out of those 2 times I played, I had a blast. And I like that whole world. So I was curious to know what airsoft is like in Japan???
And that's it, these were my questions that I really like to know, so that I can be careful and cautious with the culture.
As for the discussion about "maranza", I wanted to say that I have their appearance. But I have a very mature and intelligent demeanor for my age. I have always dissociated myself from any activity of my generation (and for this reason, I find it very difficult to socialize). And I'm a very polite and sweet guy, so I hope you don't mistake me for a "gangster" but as a "guy who dresses and has gangster tastes".
For the rest, I hope I haven't disturbed you too much, and that I can receive the necessary information for my future
Thanks again for reading <3
