    Hello, I am a Japanese who was introduced to you by The tubro channel and was looking forward to this video.
    I was trying to identify the company name of the truck with the "S" on the right side of the Kabuki-za photo and the sushi restaurant heartman was at, but unfortunately without success: ......
    I had never heard of the second heartman before. It seems that he was not related to the first heartman, but I salute you for finding out facts that I had not been able to find out!

    There are people known as "doujin music hoarders", and they are basically people who look for rare indie music from Japan. They intentionally buy up CDs as a collector, and "gatekeep" on purpose to drive their price up and to keep them hidden from the public/available.
    Docpile may be doing something similar, it is definitely not because he doesn't have access to the magazine. It's for the clicks/feed/attention, not genuine history preservation.

But then he wants to gatekeep the source that he took from. I think his whole project is pretty cool tbh, but his attitude is garbage.

My guess is a business near the area at the time or some random person wanting to be apart of the mascot craze. Hopefully we'll get to find out.

    This video caught my eye because the “Heart Man” is a scary story my mom used to tell me as a kid because she experienced it as a kid. She grew up in Jackson, Michigan in the 70’s. Allegedly there was a house that wasn’t abandoned but no one ever entered or left. She was told the “Heart Man” lived there and not to go inside. One day she stuck her head in there though, and she told me all she could hear was the loud sound of a heart beating coming from the basement.

      you never know. they are strikingly similar. but consider "simultaneous invention". there are many instances of people with no knowledge of each other, perhaps even on opposite ends of the world, creating something unique and novel at the very same time. photography was invented by two men in the same year who had no idea of the other. same with light bulbs, and the telephone.
      my point is it could easily go either way. i love yuta knows, or he doesn't. i wish they'd found a way to contact him. an interview with him would be a treat in itself even if it doesn't give any more leads for the original search.

      @@salemccc Sometimes I joke that I picked the 'wrong' artistic field to pursue for a lot of reasons lol. I love being a photographer but it don't always love me. Hella expensive, big barrier to entry, jobs don't pay well, crediting work often gets ignored, constant disrespect from other artists and a lot of photographers who've been in the field for awhile are pretty smug (latter two aren't big deals, but they're annoying lol). If I hear another photographer tell me "have you considered NOT trying to profit off your work..." I'm going to lose it lmao.

    21:00 i especially appreciate this segment where you do the work of looking up heart costumes, mention potential inspirations from each other, ponder a common creator or dissimilarities, etc..
    A lot of fascinating cases on internet fall apart, for me, for how dismissing investigators can be, jumping from one thing to a completely different one with just a "from afar, with one eye closed and in the darkness, they look a bit similar, so let's say its the exact same thing and conclude from there".
    No, its not.
    Dissimilarities and search work matters, to clarify coincidences.
    Thanks for that.

But the way it spoke gave me the chills then I didnt sleep well for like a week after that my father sold it to some store Idk but I remember the high pitched feminine voice of his ... idk maybe it was our vhs player it used have problem like that .... and yeah in the opening there was a name ... it was tatsuya mushimoto or matsumoto ...

      Yeah I don't know why he doesn't say it's possible. Like the guy says he was inspired by anpanman not the other heartman that looks identical and his takeaway is they aren't linked, not that this guy is the same guy and therefore wasn't inspired by himself.

      it specifically says that he said "i first appeared in the public eye in february 2005" so that's probably why it's assumed yuta isn't the original heartman.

    In Japan, there's something known as Gotōchi/Local Heroes. These are kinda like unofficial mascots for certain areas, and are done in a similar style to characters like Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai/Power Rangers. It could be possible that Heart-Man was a local hero in Tokyo's Chūō Ward, which includes Ginza.
