I came to Japan on November 1968, lived in Tokorozawa. I was 19 years old then. I loved Japan, loved living in Tokorozawa. Since then, I move back and forth till I finally retired then moved to California on Nov 1983. I still visit every year after that. I am married to a Japanese lady for almost 50 year now this November. I love Japan and its people.
In 1970's, there was no convenience store in the countryside. So when I went to Tokyo, I got surprised to see them and enjoyed life in the advanced city. Time flies, doesn't it? Anyway, this video reminds me of my youth and Japaese 70's life style. Good days never come back. I miss them. Thank you for posting a nice video.
Rondadoreronda I visited my grandmother in Ibaraki the 70's- it was pretty inaka so we had to go to Tokyo to play pachinko and shop for toys. Natsukashii!
@@hitachicordoba I think ronda was a GI posted there during and after the occupation of Japan by american forces . His idea of Natsukashii must be somewhere in the US .
Im very happy that i'm in japan now, it's been my dream since i was a child , to work here in japan and see how beatiful Japan is. But watching this documentary about early japan makes me wish i was there in that time of year 1970. Very simple life they are living. And no corona virus.
I love watching old documentaries but the Japanese ones are definitely my favourite . If there's such a thing as reincarnation then I want to be born in Japan
Hopefully you're not a man though. They've got in worse in Japan. It's one thing to be a foreign man in Japan (pretty good life), but to actually be born a Japanese man, you'll have a hard life. Basically what you're going to have to do is be a good boy alll throughout school, going to club activities, spending parts of your weekend at school as well, probably having to go to cram school. You'll be a mama's boy. You won't see your dad around much because he'll be at work, possibly while your mom is having an affair while you're at school. Then when you hit university, that will probably be the only free time of your life. Of course you will be expected to get a girlfriend to make your wife. You'll probably have a job lined up before you even graduated. Right after graduating, while your female peers are out having fun screwing foreigners on their parents' dime in other countries, you'll be starting your marriage to your company. Expect long hours and compromising your values. You'll have to be very careful about who you marry. It's a societal expectation that you will be the breadwinner while your wife raises the kids. You won't get to see much of your kids. You might not be allowed to even be at the hospital while your child is born. Your company will disuade that, and you will be seen as less of a man if you try to do that. Your mother-in-law will be helping raise your kid at the beginning. Again, your whole job is to do your job, not to be a father per se, in the way we see that role in the west, or even most of the world. And this is just the start! Now you've established yourself in the routine. Wake up, don't see much of kids, go to work, work hard, work late, come home, maybe eat without the family because your hours are too long at work. Japanese women are well-known to cut sex out after they have children, so you will likely have a sexless marriage. Also a high percentage of Japanese women cheat, and there's nothing you can do about it, because divorce is much more taboo in Japan, especially if you have children. Also, in almost 100% of the cases, your wife will get custody of the children, while you pay child support. You will have to keep on working until you are old, and then when you return home, you will be seen as useless, because you no longer bring in an income, and also your wife will resent the fact that you're always around, when she was so used to having so much time to herself, with you away at work. Of course this whole hell that Japanese men have to live does actually bleed over to the non-Japanese people now living in Japan. It's very common for foreign men in particular to come to Japan, be swayed by sexy, smart young Japanese women. They get into relationships that seem so much more healthy than the ones available in the west or elsewhere, but then after marriage, the sex falls away, and a similar lifestyle to the Japanese man starts to creep in. And in many cases, this can actually be much worse than the native Japanese man's life, because often you will be stuck without going too far in the language. The biggest problem is that the whole society supports this system, whether people like it or not. Also, if you are health-conscious and prefer not to drink, then you will suffer. You will be expected to drink for work. If your boss asks you out for drinks, you go. If your company has customers to entertain, you will take them drinking. You will also not be paid for your overtime work. So, if you had planned a nice evening at home, you won't get it. You'll be at work, unpaid, drinking yourself into a bad state, which not only wastes your time and money, but will make you feel horrible the next day at work. The whole society works in favour of women, at men's expense. It is cleverly disguised as being a patriarchal society, with men in position of power. I don't know about you, but I'd rather give up that "power" and have a decent life. Women know they have it good in Japan, and they don't want to change the system at all. However, they will make it seem like they're being oppressed, to squeeze even more out of men. This is also how being a foreign man in Japan can be just as bad as being native Japanese. Because you are foreign, you will be expected to do the things that foreign men do - cooking, cleaning, etc. That's one thing that Japanese men can get away with. Because the system has them at work all day, Japanese women take care of the cooking, cleaning, shopping (on your money), etc. Japanese women are VERY aware that western men tend to do these chores, and so you will be expected to continue while in Japan, along with being a breadwinner. So, you get to be there in Japan, tied down to work, in a sexless relationship, doing all sorts of chores when you get home, not understanding the language fluently, and forever being a second or third-class citizen.
LOL, I was thinking on reincarnation too. Don't know why, though. Life in Japan in the 70's seemed good. I liked this. But I also have a good life here.
@@chocomanger6873 Exactly . How do you know Japan so well ? I lived in Japan for 25 years , before living , but being gay and a male, life was very different for me . I am scandinavian, green eyes , pale skin and if i dyed my hair blond i was apparently a supermodel so life was easy . I graduated Japanese university so i could speak the language fluently (still can) and as a med school graduate , tall viking i was on top of the world . Women didn't understand when i explained that i wasn't interested in them or in marriage . Nobody understood i wasn't going to marry any time soon or have kids . And the few people i first told i was gay to , told me to keep it to myself , so of course i did the opposite and came out to anyone approaching me . My boss told me to hide it , i told him to spin on my middle finger . Women asked me to marry them and that they wouldn't object to me having affairs with men , so i told them to spin on my middle finger too . I met a Japanese guy , we are now happily married and living in Switzerland . We both cook and clean and have a normal libido by western standards , and we adopted kids over the years . His mother is completely understanding , but this is still hilarious when we land in Narita and the customs services and later on random people on the street or hotels ask us who the multicolored kids belong to , and we explain to them that they are ours, that we are gay, married and their legal parents . Japan is a beautiful country to visit , but still a LOOOOONG way from a pleasant place to live in .
Thank you very much for your dear picture. It seems that this picture was taken a picture of here and there in Japan. I was surprised. 2:08 is my home town! riverside house ､An elementary school and mountain ridge … Child's daily memory before 1976. Japanese National Railways Takayama Line Near the Hidakanayama station. 何十年も前の地元の風景を再び見れた事に感動。編集に入れてくれてありがとう。 こんな田舎とかまで…撮影者はかなり移動したんだなぁ。
Living as a foreigner in Japan in the 1950s, 1970s and 1980s to present, I think the most ridiculous part of this footage is the music. A lot of the "daily life" shown is what I not only remember, but also see today in parts of rural Japan today. Glad to see this material online.
Love your videos. I grew up at Tachikawa Air Base 1958-62 and then from 1967 to 1969. I graduated from Yamato High in 1969. It was the best time of my life.
The 1970s was a kind of sweet spot between the old way of life and the emergence of high tech. This was true of many countries around the world but somehow Japan seemed to be the epitome of this. Maybe it was because I grew up around that time but I feel overwhelmed with nostalgia when I look back on this footage. Even today Japan has somehow managed to retain much of it's traditional culture and values while at the same time keeping in step with the modern world. If I could choose to go back to that time and experience Japan as it was then, I would do so without a moment's hesitation. As it is today, Japan would be top of my list of places to live if I was young again and only had myself to consider.
The japan of 1970, there were not convenience store, and not nearly shoppingmalls. when my mother go out to buy food , I remember I went to where japan say ICHBA English say market with a basket my mother.
I remember back in the 70s Japan, there were way more "Mama and Papa stores" selling snacks(DAGASHI), and toy shops selling Ultraman figures!Good old days.
Me and my school visited all of these places back in 2017, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that all of the tourist places looks the same and feels untouched.
I'm really curious what happened to the people in the documentary. How their life was, and those who are alive how their life is these day. Thank you so much for sharing this and all the other videos. Your channel is such a treasure trove.
Life seemed nicer during that decade for them. No technology to escape to, families were probably more functional, people were more traditional, and much more! Even some 3rd world countries looked nice in the 60s and 70s, before they were touched by war.
0:52 Ryoanji, lived in that Neighborhood. I spent a lot of time at the bus stop right outside the entrance meeting people from all over the world waiting for the 59 bus.
The perspective of the narration is the most interesting part of this for me. There's a feeling of a huge gulf between cultures. I suppose the Internet is what has brought other cultures into people's thinking as a normal part of their worlds? (Or has that even happened?) Anyway, I think we'gone from the "Japanese people have..." in this film to "People in Japan..." Thanks for making these old films available!
Farming is done by older people! YES, AND it is continuously done by older people even in the 2020's (even older in the age of their eighties) . Ironically they were the younger people who went to work outside at nearby cities ... History is almost always repeated in my country. BTW I remember the 70's quite well, I don't know why.
Good observation. Increasingly fewer younger people in the villages these days, the countryside seems left to the older generation and they know how lucky they are! The only issue is connecting those services together such as healthcare etc
Look around no cell phones freedom!!! Life before the cell phone addiction. People surviving without cell phones glued to their hands and ears. The good old life.
Thank you for nice video! Now, most of small shop are gone in Japan. People have to go to big shopping mall for shopping as USA. Shopping mall came to Japan in early 1980's, earlier than Europe's in 1990's.
I LOVE Japan in so many ways, but their oppressive academic (and work for that matter) practices are a bit extreme. I see that even back in the 70s these suffocating practices were already rooted. Ugh. But most every other way I love Japan. Amazing country.
I hear this a lot, but that can be a good thing really. At least they are not rewarding sloth and incompetence, ruining academics and work ethic like here in the USA
thanks for this important document of an American early neoliberal ideological reading and interpretation of Japan's socio-economic structure of the 1970's.

何を無茶苦茶なことを言っている！今の日本ほど夢と希望に満ち溢れた国は他にない。高卒就職率が９９％、大卒就職率が９８％で両方とも圧倒的世界一。日本は２８年連続で世界一の金持ち国家で、技術革新力は４３年連続世界一、の世界唯一の超先進国。アメリカなんか大卒就職率が２１％しかなくて、おまけに卒業時点で平均４万ドルも年利５％のローン借金を抱えていて、破産する若者が続出し、若者が夢も希望も持てない地獄になっている。
今では子供の白血病は殆ど完治できるようになったが、この当時は子供が白血病になったら治療不可能で完全に夢も希望も無くなった時代だった。更に１９７０年代は喫煙者天国で男の喫煙率は８０％以上で、非喫煙者にとっては地獄だった。当時は教師が教室や職員室で喫煙するのは当たり前で、中学や高校で喫煙している生徒を見つけた教師が、自らタバコを吸いながら説教していた時代だったが、今では校内禁煙になっていて、校長や教頭がタバコを吸っているところを生徒に写真や動画を携帯電話で撮影されて教育委員会に報告されて停職処分を食らう時代になった。

Mr. Rogge. I have been enjoying your videos for over a decade now. Thanks so much.
Very, very valuable video! and this narrator speaks so good English that I can catch almost all he says. Thank you for your good posting!
I am Japan when I was a child.
I felt anew that it was a very nostalgic and very beautiful Japan.
Love your videos. I grew up at Tachikawa Air Base 1958-62 and then from 1967 to 1969. I graduated from Yamato High in 1969. It was the best time of my life.
Hello, do you remember any of the orphanages or adoption agencies in Japan ? I am trying to help a friend of mine find his birth mother .
@@murphylove8138 did you find her?
これ70年代か？
いやぁ年取ったもんだ・・・
我が国日本の古き良き時代が鮮やかに描かれてますね。今時の世間は何で味気なくなったのでしょうか!?
The 1970s was a kind of sweet spot between the old way of life and the emergence of high tech. This was true of many countries around the world but somehow Japan seemed to be the epitome of this. Maybe it was because I grew up around that time but I feel overwhelmed with nostalgia when I look back on this footage. Even today Japan has somehow managed to retain much of it's traditional culture and values while at the same time keeping in step with the modern world. If I could choose to go back to that time and experience Japan as it was then, I would do so without a moment's hesitation. As it is today, Japan would be top of my list of places to live if I was young again and only had myself to consider.
The voice is so pleasing to listen to.
この時代、自分20歳過ぎた頃ですね。実際に外国人を見かける事が多くなって白人とかは赤い顔つきで腰の位置がたかくて香水の匂いがして、顔はやたらキリンとかラクダに似てるように視えたものでした。逆に日本人は猿に見えたのでは？わからなくもないです。40年もたった今は実際に見かけても同じ人間だという意識が先にきます。
良くも悪くも戦前の空気が主流であった最後の年代
The japan of 1970, there were not convenience store, and not nearly shoppingmalls. when my mother go out to buy food , I remember I went to where japan say ICHBA English say market with a basket my mother.
I remember back in the 70s Japan, there were way more "Mama and Papa stores" selling snacks(DAGASHI), and toy shops selling Ultraman figures!Good old days.
70年代に大型商業施設がなかったって嘘だよ。

Thank for for these videos. My curiosity was fed!
大概、当時の街にある魚屋って臭かったよね。
今みたいに鮮魚の輸送手段等のスピード化や技術も低かったからだし、目の前で捌いてた。
魚といえば煮付けや焼き魚が当たり前で、刺し身や寿司は本当にご馳走。
美味しい寿司や刺し身は高級品だったし、海沿いの街に食いに出向いたりもした。
そのかわり70年代なかば青魚等は大量に取れて、悪くなるのが早いからサンマやイワシは滅茶苦茶安くて、良く会社や店のお祝いごとや客寄せ等で発泡スチロールの箱単位でタダ配ってたと母から聞いた。
確かに当時はサンマやイワシは飽きるほど焼き魚や煮たやつで食った記憶ｗ
今やサンマやイワシも漁獲量減って高級魚になりつつ有るし、平成になって初めて新鮮な青魚の刺し身を食べたときは驚いたもんですわ。
今や鼻がひん曲がるほど臭い魚屋なんてないもんなｗ
回転寿司とスーパーの台頭で、法事や葬式またはお祝いごとで漆器の桶で宅配してくれる寿司（マグロとエビとタコ、あとは巻物とイナリくらいの今思えばショボい 7:56みたいなやつ）、町に数える程度のお寿司屋さん、半径50ｍ位から漂う魚臭の魚屋さんなんて壊滅した。
でも今思えばその希少性や匂いのおかげで寿司の食べたときの理由や思い出まではっきり覚えてる
Even i wasn't existed that time, it feels nostalgic and peaceful, liveful.
Japan was incredible that days :O
1970’-80’s Golden âge for JAPAN !
Me and my school visited all of these places back in 2017, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that all of the tourist places looks the same and feels untouched.

昔の話を聞くと恐さしか感じない。
不良映画や不良ドラマが普通に流行していて、

I'm really curious what happened to the people in the documentary. How their life was, and those who are alive how their life is these day.
Thank you so much for sharing this and all the other videos. Your channel is such a treasure trove.
Life seemed nicer during that decade for them. No technology to escape to, families were probably more functional, people were more traditional, and much more! Even some 3rd world countries looked nice in the 60s and 70s, before they were touched by war.
Brandon Hernandez This is not what I meant and I really really do not agree. My grandparents lived similarly rural and it was hard.

0:52 Ryoanji, lived in that Neighborhood. I spent a lot of time at the bus stop right outside the entrance meeting people from all over the world waiting for the 59 bus.
I remember being shown films like this in school. Watching it now, the music used for the sound track is quite stereotypical!
I thought so too. I think Japanese people in the 70s mostly listened to pop music, so it's kind of ridiculous.
Thank you for your very good vid. I'm visiting Germany for my business since 1990. I'd like to see 60's and 70's Germany.
Tubingenstr east or west?
which side?
Man Japan is the best place ever even though in 2018 damn I love Japan
The perspective of the narration is the most interesting part of this for me. There's a feeling of a huge gulf between cultures. I suppose the Internet is what has brought other cultures into people's thinking as a normal part of their worlds? (Or has that even happened?) Anyway, I think we'gone from the "Japanese people have..." in this film to "People in Japan..." Thanks for making these old films available!
Lyle Hiroshi Saxon Couldn't agree more with your comment. By the way, I love your channel too! Been a subscriber for a long time now ☺️

Indeed. Communications have made the world overall much more familiar and less alien. It’s a change for the better.
@@pac1fic055 It's a change for the worse. Cultures are becoming less unique.

Farming is done by older people! YES, AND it is continuously done by older people even in the 2020's (even older in the age of their eighties) . Ironically they were the younger people who went to work outside at nearby cities ... History is almost always repeated in my country. BTW I remember the 70's quite well, I don't know why.
Good observation. Increasingly fewer younger people in the villages these days, the countryside seems left to the older generation and they know how lucky they are! The only issue is connecting those services together such as healthcare etc

Now, most of small shop are gone in Japan. People have to go to big shopping mall for shopping as USA. Shopping mall came to Japan in early 1980's, earlier than Europe's in 1990's.

1970年代の映像にしては画質がかなりいいよね
I LOVE Japan in so many ways, but their oppressive academic (and work for that matter) practices are a bit extreme. I see that even back in the 70s these suffocating practices were already rooted. Ugh. But most every other way I love Japan. Amazing country.
I hear this a lot, but that can be a good thing really. At least they are not rewarding sloth and incompetence, ruining academics and work ethic like here in the USA
Well, it wouldn't be such an amazing country if there weren't people working hard. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
