The one thing I love about Tekken as a series is that it always paid homage to its roots as an arcade fighting game. Arcades were built to cultivate an environment where people can showcase their skills and their passion, and it evolved into the culture we see today. Games like Tekken revolutionized that culture, and it blossomed into the eSports you see today. Always remember where you came from, that is how you keep this movement going.
He’s in Complete Control For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1) Time is a part of our lives. It’s inescapable. That is what Solomon was talking about when he wrote, “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1) We find two important words in this verse: “season” and “time.” The Hebrew word for “season” refers to a fixed, definite portion of time, while the word for “time” refers to a beginning or a starting period. When we put those words together, we see that Solomon is telling us that God has appointed everything that comes into our lives for a specific purpose. God knows just when to bring things in, and He knows how long they should last. The things we experience are not random events that float in and out of our lives. Rather, they are specific events that God has chosen, and they are timely and purposeful. This includes the good times that we experience and the bad times we experience. And in retrospect, we’ll see that many of the bad times will turn out to be good times. That’s because it is through those so-called bad times that we learn some of life’s most important lessons. We also will recognize that we’re not in charge of our lives. God is. When we put our faith in Jesus Christ, we come under His protective care. This means God is fully aware of everything that happens to us. God is always paying careful attention to the smallest detail of our lives and is in complete control of all circumstances. There’s a season for everything. We’re not victims of fate or dumb luck. God is guiding and directing our steps.
@@rehannoor4961 exactly. it wasent tekken that revolutionized arcade fighting games. it was street fighter 2 and mortal kombat. rest of games like vritaul fighter, tekken , soul blade etc came to already existing scene
VF used to be the most popular fighting game in Japan arcades by far and Tekken was behind in that aspect. However outside of Japan, it was the exact opposite. As a VF fan, I gotta say, it looks like Harada's plan worked out much better

@@alejandroramirez4470 Japan also has very strong Tekken players. Those 3 countries are basically a class apart from everyoone else in Tekken. Japan does probably come 3rd on that list in most people's minds now but they're still very strong.

Same here. Most arcades here are either closed or became casinos. Living in a tiny country in Europe with nowhere to go and nothing interesting to do had made gamers stuck inside their own homes playing console/PC games. But even then, here people play AAA western games rather than Asian games, so it's really hard to find anyone who still plays Tekken (or fighting games in general).

My favorite fighting game I’ve been playing since Tekken 2 & I’ve grown up as a kid with these characters I feel like they are a huge part of my life just like family to me can’t wait to play Tekken 8
Mikado in Takadanobaba is a wonderful arcade. This and HEY in Akihabara are like heaven. There was an awesome place in Machida called Cats Eye for years and they had a great selection of games across several floors but they sadly closed down...

i just came back from tokyo and it was so cool playing against and with some of the locals who were really good too, although they were still running tekken 7 and not tekken 8 and there werent that many machines in comparison to when i last went tokyo 8 years ago but still so fun
I Would really love if also soulcalibur franchise could get 1/2 of the love that tekken has, it's such a great franchise and I'm so sad that it's always the last thought of Namco bandai, i really hope for a soulcalibur VII after tekken 8

Juego Tekken desde el primero, en arcades y despues en consolas, actualmente tengo mas de 45 años y sigue siendo de mis fighting games favoritos. Interesante reportaje con aspectos de los arcades en el pais de los videojuegos por excelencia
It's crazy coz arcades are basically obsolete in this day and age. Even Tekken 8 coming out is focused on the online play. Sad to see an era end. JP probably has the last few bastions of still functioning Arcades in the world. In my country arcades no longer exist. Those that do are old with no proper maintenance.
I love Tekken ever since the Sony PlayStation 1. One of my favorite moments is 4:01 I love seeing 3 of my favorite Tekken characters chilling. Tekken 8 is almost here and Asuka Kazama and Lili look amazing. Although I'm not so into the E Sport stuff. I do love those classic moments from back in the day. Cool video. ^_^
Think VF was much bigger in Japan for the longest time but since Sega have sort of put that on the back burner it makes sense Tekken would have a revival of sorts, although it seems that online play has superceded in person meetups over there too. Covid really hasn't been good for a lot of local community activities.

I thought it would've explored the early days of TEKKEN but the focus on 7 in particular makes me question how the Japanese community perceived past titles or how it stands out from the competition in the 90s and 2000s.
Great content, an interesting story on how Mimi about her meeting her husband through Tekken. More Yuyu please. 😅 I hope to see her still playing Tekken 8

been to the namco arcade in akiba, it has pretty much jack except for the Gundam arcade cabs now lol. Mikado is sick but I didn't have time to go on the weekend so when I visited it was pretty much empty D:
Instead of Tekken, which its popularity had been waning since more than a decade ago, you should've make a report about the Gundam Extreme Versus series (or EXVS series), which currently the most popular arcade game in Japan, and you could say that it's the current "king" of the arcades there.
Takadanobaba. I always pass by that station on the Tozai-sen of the Tokyo Metro subway whenever I go to Nakano (I love watches, so I frequent Nakano Broadway whenever I'm in Tokyo). Shame I never heard about it. I wanna see that arcade.
とても興味深い! Back when I was in college, I bought the Japanese version of Tekken 2 well ahead of the US release. I learned all the 10 hit combos and dominated with Paul at the student center arcade for a Semester …and then I was left in the dust by much better players 🤦♂️ still remember how to do the lid sensor trick with the original PS1 to skip the region check 😂
Él está en Completo Control Para todo hay una estación, un tiempo para cada actividad bajo el cielo. (Eclesiastés 3: 1) El tiempo es parte de nuestras vidas. Es ineludible. De eso es de lo que Salomón estaba hablando cuando escribió :" Para todo hay una temporada, un tiempo para cada actividad debajo del cielo" (Eclesiastés 3: 1) Encontramos dos palabras importantes en este versículo: "estación" y "tiempo"."La palabra hebrea para "temporada" se refiere a una porción fija y definida de tiempo, mientras que la palabra para "tiempo" se refiere a un comienzo o un período de inicio. Cuando juntamos esas palabras, vemos que Salomón nos está diciendo que Dios ha designado todo lo que entra en nuestras vidas para un propósito específico. Dios sabe cuándo traer las cosas, y sabe cuánto tiempo deben durar. Las cosas que experimentamos no son eventos aleatorios que flotan dentro y fuera de nuestras vidas. Más bien, son eventos específicos que Dios ha elegido, y son oportunos y con propósito. Esto incluye los buenos momentos que experimentamos y los malos momentos que experimentamos. Y en retrospectiva, veremos que muchos de los malos tiempos se convertirán en buenos tiempos. Eso es porque es a través de esos llamados malos momentos que aprendemos algunas de las lecciones más importantes de la vida. También reconoceremos que no estamos a cargo de nuestras vidas. Dios lo es. Cuando ponemos nuestra fe en Jesucristo, estamos bajo Su cuidado protector. Esto significa que Dios es plenamente consciente de todo lo que nos sucede. Dios siempre está prestando cuidadosa atención al más mínimo detalle de nuestras vidas y está en completo control de todas las circunstancias. Hay una temporada para todo. No somos víctimas del destino o de la suerte tonta. Dios está guiando y dirigiendo nuestros pasos.
Good video, but it could be THE BEST video EVER if you'd include my all time favorite pro player Tanukana. Sad she wasn't included in this celebration of Tekken
Average height of adult women in Japan is 5'3". So if we assume the presenter and DHG.Mimi are 5'3", UYU.Yuyu being a head taller than them brings her at around 5'8" or 5'9" (based on average asian female head size)
Sometimes the title of the video can be deceiving. Just because it says "popular in Japan" doesn't mean it's 100% accurately legitimate. It will still based on this game's community perspective. Moreover, I don't think it's really that popular per se, but merely an average in comparison to huge Mobile gaming market in Japan like Genshin impact and many more. Even Sony had to moved it's main PlayStation HQ to California because PS4/5 aren't selling well in Japan anymore compared to decades ago, that alone was a huge indication that console are no longer the main source of gaming and mobile stole the spotlight. So it does still makes sense when Harada stated that Tekken isn't that really popular in Japan. What he meant is that it didn't reached the peak of popularity he had hoped for in his home country, and so he instead focusing on marketing this game overseas to fill the gap.
Personally i think that 2D fighters from SNK was the best overall and from 3D - Virtua Fighter was always better than Tekken, shame that Sega just wasted everything they had.
The one thing I love about Tekken as a series is that it always paid homage to its roots as an arcade fighting game.

The things we experience are not random events that float in and out of our lives. Rather, they are specific events that God has chosen, and they are timely and purposeful. This includes the good times that we experience and the bad times we experience.
And in retrospect, we’ll see that many of the bad times will turn out to be good times. That’s because it is through those so-called bad times that we learn some of life’s most important lessons.
We also will recognize that we’re not in charge of our lives. God is. When we put our faith in Jesus Christ, we come under His protective care. This means God is fully aware of everything that happens to us.
God is always paying careful attention to the smallest detail of our lives and is in complete control of all circumstances. There’s a season for everything. We’re not victims of fate or dumb luck. God is guiding and directing our steps.
My favorite fighting game I’ve been playing since Tekken 2 & I’ve grown up as a kid with these characters I feel like they are a huge part of my life just like family to me can’t wait to play Tekken 8
I have loved TEKKEN since I was 15. I'm 40 now.
Mikado in Takadanobaba is a wonderful arcade. This and HEY in Akihabara are like heaven. There was an awesome place in Machida called Cats Eye for years and they had a great selection of games across several floors but they sadly closed down...
This was a really cool video! Gaming culture (specifically Tekken) in Japan!!
Thank you for the love!

Dead or alive, tekken, street fighter, rival schools, bloody roar were my favorites growing up.
Dun forget the King of fighters and marvel vs capcom
@@fenixwright yes yes
if you take bloody roar out and add guilty gear it becames my list (i am 17 y.o btw i just love retro games)
@@godabandonedmesoibecameaba8984 I'm 19 but just got into fighting games
just for this fact alone I want to visit Japan so badly! very informative video!
i just came back from tokyo and it was so cool playing against and with some of the locals who were really good too, although they were still running tekken 7 and not tekken 8 and there werent that many machines in comparison to when i last went tokyo 8 years ago but still so fun
I love Tekken. It's one of my favorite fighting games of all time. King of iron fist tournament 👊
I Would really love if also soulcalibur franchise could get 1/2 of the love that tekken has, it's such a great franchise and I'm so sad that it's always the last thought of Namco bandai, i really hope for a soulcalibur VII after tekken 8

Juego Tekken desde el primero, en arcades y despues en consolas, actualmente tengo mas de 45 años y sigue siendo de mis fighting games favoritos. Interesante reportaje con aspectos de los arcades en el pais de los videojuegos por excelencia
Japan Ichiban ❤
Love from the Philippines
I Love tekken so much, play since Tekken 1 ! My Favorite Kazuya 💜
Awesome video i loved it 😊
Tekken is also big in parts of Africa. In Ivory Coast, South Africa and Madagascar it's the biggest fighting game.
nice video, good timing too
waiting for combo breaker to start and to watch tekken top 24
It's crazy coz arcades are basically obsolete in this day and age. Even Tekken 8 coming out is focused on the online play. Sad to see an era end. JP probably has the last few bastions of still functioning Arcades in the world. In my country arcades no longer exist. Those that do are old with no proper maintenance.
I’ve been playing Tekken since 1994. Watching this video is humbling. A breath of fresh Aìr 🫶🏽🦾🎮
I love Tekken ever since the Sony PlayStation 1. One of my favorite moments is 4:01 I love seeing 3 of my favorite Tekken characters chilling. Tekken 8 is almost here and Asuka Kazama and Lili look amazing. Although I'm not so into the E Sport stuff. I do love those classic moments from back in the day. Cool video. ^_^
why Tekken is so popular in Japan because its made in japan 😆
nah, fighting games are big in Japan your mobas are lookdown because its for no lifer game genre
Do you play tekken or mobile games only ?
nah not really
not because it was made in japan, it's THE fighting game
2D? we got SF,GG,BB,KoF,etc
3D? only VF and TEKKEN baby!
@@殺意の波動に目覚めたリュウ actually you wrong it is very popular because it's in most arcades etc
Think VF was much bigger in Japan for the longest time but since Sega have sort of put that on the back burner it makes sense Tekken would have a revival of sorts, although it seems that online play has superceded in person meetups over there too. Covid really hasn't been good for a lot of local community activities.
Virtual Fighter was at one point but I think it lost that title as it been years since they made a new one ( no the re released of 5 does not count)
i wish Tekken 8 would come to Arcades so i could play it on Arcede Places. but i don't mind it either way, i can play it home or on Gaming Cafe's. ^^
Glad that the game is popular in Japan 🇯🇵 it's my favorite game when I played my first T3 it always reminds me of Asia

Strong Tekken Culture Japan.
Man, imagine having JimmyJ's autograph. That would be sick. @4:32
nice video, please make more about tekken
I thought it would've explored the early days of TEKKEN but the focus on 7 in particular makes me question how the Japanese community perceived past titles or how it stands out from the competition in the 90s and 2000s.
This was a great video :)
Great content, an interesting story on how Mimi about her meeting her husband through Tekken. More Yuyu please. 😅 I hope to see her still playing Tekken 8
@Pro Token420 Why not hyped for PS5? I have both systems but will be getting on PS5.
@Pro Token420 It doesn't matter much, both consoles will run the game more or less the same and there will be crossplay.
@Pro Token420 L box series L 😂

been to the namco arcade in akiba, it has pretty much jack except for the Gundam arcade cabs now lol. Mikado is sick but I didn't have time to go on the weekend so when I visited it was pretty much empty D:
Instead of Tekken, which its popularity had been waning since more than a decade ago, you should've make a report about the Gundam Extreme Versus series (or EXVS series), which currently the most popular arcade game in Japan, and you could say that it's the current "king" of the arcades there.
Tekken 3 was in a pizza shop down the road from me for 15 years. I wish I had used it more.
Always kinda cracks me up that two of the most popular female Tekken players are called Mimi and Yuyu, heh. Great video, thank you!
Great video! ONE always surprises me in positive ways :-)
Tekken is the best fighting game ever hands down
Takadanobaba. I always pass by that station on the Tozai-sen of the Tokyo Metro subway whenever I go to Nakano (I love watches, so I frequent Nakano Broadway whenever I'm in Tokyo).
Shame I never heard about it. I wanna see that arcade.
Tekken is life
とても興味深い! Back when I was in college, I bought the Japanese version of Tekken 2 well ahead of the US release. I learned all the 10 hit combos and dominated with Paul at the student center arcade for a Semester …and then I was left in the dust by much better players 🤦♂️ still remember how to do the lid sensor trick with the original PS1 to skip the region check 😂
Tekken 3 was astonishing and my favorite at home on PS2.
Tekken 3 was on ps1
Just look at those immaculate cabinets
HARADA we need a remastered tekken 2 with online play
Saludos para Mimi y Yuyu 🇯🇵 ,espero verlas jugar en el tekken 8. Viva el TEKKEN ✊🌎🌍🌏

Para todo hay una estación, un tiempo para cada actividad bajo el cielo.
(Eclesiastés 3: 1)
El tiempo es parte de nuestras vidas. Es ineludible. De eso es de lo que Salomón estaba hablando cuando escribió :" Para todo hay una temporada, un tiempo para cada actividad debajo del cielo"
(Eclesiastés 3: 1)
Encontramos dos palabras importantes en este versículo: "estación" y "tiempo"."La palabra hebrea para "temporada" se refiere a una porción fija y definida de tiempo, mientras que la palabra para "tiempo" se refiere a un comienzo o un período de inicio.
Cuando juntamos esas palabras, vemos que Salomón nos está diciendo que Dios ha designado todo lo que entra en nuestras vidas para un propósito específico. Dios sabe cuándo traer las cosas, y sabe cuánto tiempo deben durar.
Las cosas que experimentamos no son eventos aleatorios que flotan dentro y fuera de nuestras vidas. Más bien, son eventos específicos que Dios ha elegido, y son oportunos y con propósito. Esto incluye los buenos momentos que experimentamos y los malos momentos que experimentamos.
Y en retrospectiva, veremos que muchos de los malos tiempos se convertirán en buenos tiempos. Eso es porque es a través de esos llamados malos momentos que aprendemos algunas de las lecciones más importantes de la vida.
También reconoceremos que no estamos a cargo de nuestras vidas. Dios lo es. Cuando ponemos nuestra fe en Jesucristo, estamos bajo Su cuidado protector. Esto significa que Dios es plenamente consciente de todo lo que nos sucede.
Dios siempre está prestando cuidadosa atención al más mínimo detalle de nuestras vidas y está en completo control de todas las circunstancias. Hay una temporada para todo. No somos víctimas del destino o de la suerte tonta. Dios está guiando y dirigiendo nuestros pasos.
Tekken changed my life for the better
Japan looks like heaven...
Japan invented it, S.Koreans mastered it !!!🔥🕹🇰🇷
pretty much
Please, what is the song that starts playing at 7:17?? I love it!!
the way their names are pronounced "me me" and "you you" is a funny coincidence, nice video :-) !
happy coincidence indeed!
are these arcades in different city ? or is it all in one city ? which city was it ? 😅
Good video, but it could be THE BEST video EVER if you'd include my all time favorite pro player Tanukana. Sad she wasn't included in this celebration of Tekken
Perhaps we can make a part 2!
Indeed. Tanukana is morw popular.
I hope you know why tanukana won't ever appear here 💀
Why are the female Tekken players always super cute?
such a sweet arcade!
Does anyone know the song playing at 4:00? Crazy track
I miss tanukana!!
The one with the glasses looks a lot like Kunimitsu II, I think it's because of her hair
Loved the video! Song names pls?
You can find love in games! I didn't know Mimi and Rangchu were married!
I LOVE JAPAN.
Damn. They like finding the cream of the crop arcade babe for the iv.
I didnt know Rangchu and MiMi were married omg
In my country you will find arcade almost in every street in Pakistan
I had no Idea how tall YuYu was.
Hand size is unfair.
Average height of adult women in Japan is 5'3". So if we assume the presenter and DHG.Mimi are 5'3", UYU.Yuyu being a head taller than them brings her at around 5'8" or 5'9" (based on average asian female head size)
What is the game at 1:42 called?
I remember this game and I've been trying to find it but I can't for the life of me remember the name!
Outfoxies! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outfoxies
UYU-YUYU
She's not sponsored by UYU anymore.
I wish it was more popular in India too
Well its really popular in pakistan which is practically India 2.0 so...
Just cross the border and play in Pakistan 😁
@@mrego886 lmfaoo idk abt calling it india 2.0
Aren’t Dead or Alive fighting games still around in Japan? 🇯🇵
Cool vid!!! :)
Never know Soulcalibur 3 went on arcade, taught itv was a ps2 exclusive
Sometimes the title of the video can be deceiving. Just because it says "popular in Japan" doesn't mean it's 100% accurately legitimate. It will still based on this game's community perspective. Moreover, I don't think it's really that popular per se, but merely an average in comparison to huge Mobile gaming market in Japan like Genshin impact and many more.
Even Sony had to moved it's main PlayStation HQ to California because PS4/5 aren't selling well in Japan anymore compared to decades ago, that alone was a huge indication that console are no longer the main source of gaming and mobile stole the spotlight.
So it does still makes sense when Harada stated that Tekken isn't that really popular in Japan. What he meant is that it didn't reached the peak of popularity he had hoped for in his home country, and so he instead focusing on marketing this game overseas to fill the gap.
Tekken is awesome!
Awesome
"Athlete"
"Career"
😂
great
I had no idea Mimi and Rangchu were married
Me neither, that’s beautiful
l so love Japan people
What is that song/melody in the 2:50 and on in the background
Darude - sandstorm
The title is "Move it" composed by Eamonn Downes, got it from the universal production music library
7:17 anyone knows this song?
Yuyu is in this !!
*It's Actually Popular In India And Pakistan* 😮
Tekken and soulcaliber series are dead in Japan but worldwide ? Still people loves and plays.
is that Bayonetta cosplayer playing Tekken? 😂
Yuyu ❤❤❤❤❤😊
I have in my house a tekken muséum too ❤ i will make a video soon
ATHLETE CAREER = Play videogames. One thing is call it e-sport and another one is considering yourself an athlete...
Thanks for video, and English subs, with love from east slavic country ❤
I think Tekken is a game that is Universally liked
Not just Japan, Korea etc.
🎉
Woooo! YUYU!
好き tekken
do a gundam exvs episode plsss
What's Yuyu's height?
5'10"
Homenageio!
Where's Tanukana :(
Arsalan Ash😄
Personally i think that 2D fighters from SNK was the best overall and from 3D - Virtua Fighter was always better than Tekken, shame that Sega just wasted everything they had.
One Champ has an esports gaming channel??
They have an esports division so that's not surprising.
