In the early 1980s, mountain walking in Japan gradually became popular. At this time, Tsukiya recorded the whole tail flick of Cone Ice Cliff (a cartoon with the prefix D appeared) and made it into a video, which caused a sensation. However, it was later banned on the grounds of road safety, and the racing license of Tuwu was also revoked. However, this video made the mountain walking gradually known.
In the mid-1980s, many tail-throwers began to gather on the weekend mountain road with little traffic. Since the 1990s, tail-flick groups have proliferated. Not only can it be seen everywhere on mountain roads, but also many tail-swinging groups have begun to gather in squares all over the country. 1989, well-known Japanese automobile-related magazines began to hold tail-throwing activities, gradually introducing tail-throwing people from ordinary roads to safe tracks.
The influence of "prefix D" on society is because the general public began to pay attention to the tail-flick movement within reach, and the real existence of AE86 caused the fans to study these vehicles. Compared with F 1, which has ever-changing rules and boring events, and the unreachable WRC, the "D 1 Grand Prix", which provides a performance stage for tail-throwers, has become a brand-new vehicle race and a world-class vehicle race all over Japan, the United States, Britain, Oceania and Southeast Asia.
