- Walking around Shinjuku and Ikebukuro at night in the rain. I'm not actually in this since I'm behind the camera most of the time. Years after I uploaded the original people have commented how it looks like the video game Yakuza 0! which was release much later.
This is a re-upload of the original video posted in 2008. Better quality.
• Tokyo at Night 1987 - ...
I wish to download every single of your 80s Japanese videos and play them constantly on my TV as I live my life 'til the very end.
Thanks for the re-upload in better quality. This is one of the best 'home videos' ever uploaded to youtube.
The scene where you guys enter Sunshine City mall and go down the esculator with the smoking hot girl in yellow looking back at you guys is truly the dream. I hope she finds this video one day and comments on this video. 🥰
Wouldn't that be awesome?!
@@NichiBeiTrader find this music video on youtube: 浜田麻里｢Night Steals｣ on Victor Entertainment channel.
Girl in yellow looks just like the famous 浜田麻里 Mari Hamada, same hair too lol. Long lost sister!?!
僕が生まれた年です！
他の動画も楽しみにしています！
NichiBeiTrader is exclaiming after the passage of 36 years: "Bring back my youth!!! Bring back my hair!!!!"
Just kidding. :X
After thoroughly enjoying all your videos and comments, I'd like to share a few thoughts:
1. Your videos skillfully fuse the golden era of Japan in the 1980s with the captivating tunes of 1980s American pop music. "Looking For A New Love" by Jody Watley, "Eyes of a Stranger" by The Payolas, and "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell, among others - I absolutely love them! Both you and your friend, working at a recording studio, showcased impeccable video editing skills!
2. It would be wonderful if someday all three of you could reunite at a Christmas party and enjoy watching 1987 videos together. According to a comment you left 14 years ago, you meet one guy every Christmas while you haven't seen the other guy more than a few times in 15 years. Perhaps, as the years go by, it becomes increasingly challenging to meet regularly compared to the younger days.
3. Your videos were crafted in the year 1987, coinciding with the airing of the anime City Hunter on TV and four years before Tokyo Love Story, the quintessential Japanese trendy drama, made its debut on television. This serves as a nostalgic testament to the age of your videos.
4. Wishing you the joy of revisiting your videos when you turn 70 in 2037.
These are just a few reflections. Maybe a bit of "Too Much Talk" :X hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
Appreciate your comments and glad you liked the music. A lot of thought went into choosing the songs. I tried to blend what was popular at the time with what would fit the videos.
I was never into anime or paid particular attention to Japanese pop culture, so I'll defer to you on the timing of those. (To this day, I associate Akihabara with high tech consumer electronic stores that sold the latest gadgets not sold elsewhere in the word. And not the anime/cosplay capital of Tokyo that it has transformed itself into.)
My interest in Japan was more academic and business related. At the time, with the rise of Japan Inc., I wanted to learn more about their business practices and the cultural aspects behind the work ethic that helped contribute to Japan's economic rise. Over the ensuing few years (of university language study and then work) I became fluent in the language. These videos, however, were taken at the beginning of all that in my first year of the journey that I'm still on today. It's fun to reminisce about those early, carefree days, when it was all new and exciting about Japan. And who could've predicted in 1987 that TH-cam would come to exist and I could share those times with people from around the world? Amazing!
Damn.. Sunshine city mall is still the same now
I love you 1980s
Japanese
Definitely a completely different world from how the Eastern Bloc was back then
How old were you back then? Miss the 80s when times were a lot simpler..
I was 20yo when I filmed this. The 80s were good times indeed
can i use this video without the audio to record a video about the bubble?
