I lived in Japan from 1979 to 1991, working for a now-defunct electronics company. I worked as an English translator for sales to North and South America. I just turned 68 years old this January. It was the best times of my life and I would give up everything to go back to that period.
Many Japanese who lived through that era share your sentiments.
I came in 89 and still here. A lot has changed, but nothing like how things have changed in the states. I'm not sure exactly whether Japan changed or I did, but it seems to have gotten older and it feels like the party is over. Somebody removed all the beer machines, the karaoke bars with drunken salarymen are mostly replaced with karaoke boxes. Hell, the big cities are almost completely non-smoking sections, and the red light districts (in the small cities) are ghost towns.
@@TheShrededward I ve cycle toured through western Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku and there are so many ghosts of the 70s and the 80s Bubble Era in the shape of abandoned love motels and clubs out there. I even passed through an entire small city in Shikoku that had a very 1970s Japan vibe about it.
@@capmidnite Yes, there is still plenty of what it was like around, but as you say, the love hotels are abandoned. I live in a small village in Nagano, and everything kinda looks like it always has, except it isn't. If I wanted to go to the local bar, I know what it's going to be like. A couple old men drinking sake in a bar that used to have 20 + people every night. It's exactly the same as it was, except that it's now a ghost bar.
What made it so great if I may ask?
This make me miss a time and place where I wasn't even born.
Congrats, you fell for the nostalgia meme
Past life, maybe?
lol
Try missing the present instead. Cos its never within your grasp, every second matches on relentlessly.
one day we're gonna be 70 and look back at an era that was ours. I always get mixed emotions thinking about this.
Watching this older videos, not just from Japan, I can't shake this feeling like we've lost something as human beings collectively. Something basic, something important.
Perdemos a humanidade, para a tecnologia ninguém hoje é realmente próximo.
i think today people move in a rush more. before it looked calm, timeless. i think we need to enjoy the present time, because in the future we'll miss it ❤
@@yakuzasan777 Os anos 80 foram o auge da humanidade. Hoje o mundo é dominado pela esquerda e sua retórica vitimista, gayzista e afrosupremacista.
We are trading in humanity for technology
Birds act like birds. They have rituals and behaviors that haven’t changed much. They instinctively build nests and have mating rituals. Humans were the same. But now, for a variety a reasons, a lot of humans don’t know how human. The world changes too rapidly (technology /internet). And the “elders” can’t teach us because they grew up in a different world. (They’re actually screwing things up, but that’s another story)
I landed in Japan in 1981 @ Yokota Air Base as a 18 year old Airman in the USAF. I left in 1987 but those were the best years of my life looking back. One of my favorite things to do was either get on my motorcycle and just drive or get on the train and just ride somewhere and get off at some random station. It was always fun and a great way to learn the language.

Damn, it's like a commercial for time travellers.
Definitely worth it to time travel back to the 80s.

If an alternate reality exist in which time travel was a thing, I'm sure the commercial would go over well.
LOL
Damn it who told him
I am Japanese. Today's Japan is wonderful, but old Japan had a warmth and a human touch, and I wanted to be born in that era.
I wish I could’ve experienced it back then. I’m not from Japan but soooo long to visit, or even live there someday for a while if possible, but I have a feeling that it might’ve been nicer to live there in that era than this one. It looks like it was one that was excited to be more open and full of hope with a more ‘real’ mix of old and new. Rather than the scraps and the artificial that seem to litter the populated areas now.😔 I don’t know what to do. I live in Britain, where we are always still surrounded by the ghosts of our ppast Good and bad, An although thing have steadily changed over the decades and years many of us feel, in many ways have also gotten worse and we don’t have the strength to fight it (like we are truly loosing the last bits of who we are), and I don’t know whether me moving to Japan or another country in Asia might just be me exchanging one place for another and come across the same problem. I guess a lot of us are in the same boat then.
I agree every where this feel of community is getting pushed away. I find it nostalgic to be familiar with almost everyone you meet while walking

In 1986, when i was a child, i left Poland for a few months to Japan, it was like a journey from the earth to the moon.

I miss you, dad. I know you've been to the Land of the Rising Sun sometime during your youth. Those times must have been very memorable to you.
I'm not joking, if I ever get a time machine, I will go back to this exact era just for the aesthetic alone.
Me too.
I was lucky enough to visit Japan as a young boy at age 11 on a Suzuki violin summer trip. While my older brother and his best friend were in violin classes I would walk around the local areas we stayed in, exploring little alleys, shops and local malls. Not sure if it’s just Nostalgia but these memories are possibly my favorite ever!! It was so so great! I just loved every part of this time. The toys were awesome, the food and people, and vibe was so cool. I fell in love with Ninjas and Samurais before they became pop culture cool! Those 3 weeks contain some of my richest feelings and memories from an era I miss so much! I love the feelings I have from that time in my life and yes if I could ever go back in time it might be this time and place for me!! Thank you Japan for a time so special and wonderful as that! And thank you to my beloved grandfather who helped me be able to be on such a amazing life changing trip!
@@johnnymwal Nice 👍
Beautiful Japan
Yeah, but you better watch out for the Yakuza, lmao.
I am from the USA and went to the University in Japan and lived in Japan in the 1980's. All the wonderful things that you might hear or see about Japan in the 1980's was true. It was a magical place at a magical time. Everything seemed possible. Everybody was prospering. Almost every crazy business idea seemed to succeed. People were happy and shared their happiness and good fortune with others. It was like no other place on earth.
why do you think Japan has changed so much?
@@LucasHenriqueCarneiro Actually, I don't think Japan has changed much since the economic bubble popped in 1992, except for the attitude of the people. Japan is a good economic study. After the economy crashed, Japan experienced DEFLATION. Deflation was mostly academic theory before it actually happened in Japan. Now, when you travel Japan, it looks kind of tired and old. You don't see much new development. Buildings and infrastructure are left-over from the 1980's boom mostly. We hear about the aging of the Japanese population, but you can see it for real when you go to Japan. There are so many very old people milling about going nowhere, doing nothing. Then you see the "younger" generation which is now in their sixties or maybe fifties. You don't see a lot of young people from, say five years old to thirty years old in Japan like you do in other countries.
@@LucasHenriqueCarneiro same as America, zionist ideologies.

Wow! my mom was living in Japan in 80's she said it was one of the best time in her life
She is Thais and she was there for a while
I was growing up admiring Japanese culture especially in 80's because of my mom
I'm in late 20's but I'm so obsessed with everything about Japanese's 80's
This video is just like a vivid dream that my mom used to tell me
She passed away 10 years ago and somehow this video reminds me of her very much
My condolences to you, she was a great woman, May she rest in peace. 🕊
So even Asians are weeb
I agree with you. If you look back and watch and see how the life was bright at that time. 80s 90s 2000s. The best time ever. Bcux how people are more connected to each other. Not now selfishness on the name of freedom and privacy..
My condolences, Japan was and is a truly beautiful country. I plan to visit it this year. My father often spoke of the places he lived in when he was younger in the USA and as an adult I love going to those places and trying to view the world from my dads eyes I makes me feel closer to him. If you can try doing the same and just feel your mom being next to you as you retrace her steps.

For anyone that doesn't know, the 80's were probably the peak of modern Japan. After the economic bubble burst in 1992, development stagnated and hasn't really picked up since. A lot of places in Japan, especially once you leave the big cities, still looks like this except dilapidated, neglected, and often abandoned and empty. As a young Japanese, I would kill to live in a time like this and it makes me sad that I'll never experience it.
yamamoto, you didnt work overtime today
From my perspective (from small European country) Japan is still one of the best places in the world. You still have a strong economy. But I could be wrong. What is life like for an average Japanese citizen? Do you make enough to have a good life and to be able to afford everything thats not over the top?
People there look so chill, maybe it's just an outsider's perspective but I fell like japanese people are the best, and something about the cities architecturally gives me such a chill vibe, I don't know how it is to actually live there, but sure looks like a really nice place. Maybe one day I'll get to learn the language and actually go live there.
Same thing happened in Japan that happened in America and many other top economies. Labor and manufacturing was outsourced to sweatshops in China and other parts of Asia. It killed millions of jobs, killed so many local private businesses and the towns and communities that revolved around them.
Feel that bro. At the same time Hong Kong was at its peak in terms of economy and mass culture. Now it's a shadow of the past glory. T_T
22 years old from India..never been to Japan..but whenever I watch Japan videos I cry a lot.. I love the vibe..I love Japan..I wanna visit Japan one day❤️

This was Japan at its absolute peak.
The ‘80’s was the Golden era for Japan. More than just an economic boom, the sense of optimism, the power of the yen - all came crashing down in the early ‘90’s. IMO, Japan had more of an identity back then.
Ya a lot of the old science fiction has Japan as a superpower.
Too bad after the 90's economy crisis, japan become more depressing time to time nowdays
thanks to USA since 1945 japan has always been controlled by the states
what i mean usa has forced japan to become its closest friend and ally
Though I agree with you most of the ways, I will respectively disagree with you on one thing, Japan still has a very strong identity !
back then it was a serious possibility that the japanese economy would surpass the United States. That was until 1992
I'm 45 years old. I do miss the magic of those golden years. Warm greetings to all real nostalgic souls like me. Love from Italy.
You were a 1980s kid, then! A lot of Japanese 1980s toys are being re-issued and bought up by 40-something year old guys: Nintendo Game Watch, Tamiya R/C cars . . . .
I know what you're talking about..
What was the year/date when the golden years ended according to you experience?

There is something about Japanese culture, people and the language that appeals to me. Im from Guatemala/Sweden. Currently studying Japanese and train Judo. :-)
it's definitely just how idealized this era is, but to me, Japan in the 80's seems like a magical place!
The 80’s was Japan’s golden age. I was a fascinated by Japan in those days, as Japanese television dramas and such were popular when I was growing up in the LA area. I would never have believed then that I would one day move to Japan, yet here I am, and here I have been for quite a few years now. Many of the places seen in the video are exactly the same today.
So fortunate for us to be in Tokyo from 1980-1984. Best memories of places and Friends.
Music, aesthetic, anime, everything. 80s Japanese pop culture is unmatched even till now, they were unique, creative, and fluid.
unmatched by japanese and weebs standards. but the world perceived japanese music and pop culture as weird. and i am a witness of that era.
@@lajo142 That doesn't make it bad, in fact it was indeed amazing and something wonderful, almost magical. Just because westeners didn't get it doesn't mean it was not good
@@lajo142 Im not even watching anime or japanese movie, but if you see their artistic merit is already had character even in ancient era and that character still goes along the way with modernization. But, i aggree about weird/strange/grotesque art they create and weebs popularized that "weirdness". 1980s era its not only weird in japan but in anywhere in the world prob usa as well, 80s considered as freaky, unique, strange era of movie ex: the thing, back to the future, but thats what make them memorable.
Having gotten into anime in the 2000s there was something about anime from the 80s, a certain zest and spirit…
Its incredible how you can feel nostalgia for a time and place you never experienced.
I lived in Japan for 8 years from 2006. Loved it. Japan has a culture that gets into your soul- consideration, best customer service, cleanliness, and dedication to overall quality. No other culture is like it. Many could learn from aspects of Japanese culture.

I am from India, but feel like Japan has been there with me my whole life. From Kurosawa's movies to mangas/animes and videogames which captured my imagination and helped me go through some really dark times. I grew up with Japanese culture without even realizing it. The best I can do is go there one day and expreience Japan's beauty in all it's glory. No other country is as close to my heart as this one. A truly magical place.
You may have been a Japanese poet (Matsuo Basho), Samurai, or advisor (Sen No Rikkyu) in a past life. Japan is indeed a mystical place that invokes nostalgic emotions.
I'm a Japanese guy (grew up in the era in the video) with fondness for and access to plenty of Indian music, food, and film! I like it a lot!

Thank you for the clip. Everything is so calm and natural. I feel like I have literally travelled on a time machine briefly❤
I live in Japan and not much has changed tbh apart from Shibuya and Harajuku having more modern vibe, other than that Japan has kept its tradition fairly well.
That's cool to know, a lot of places in other countries seem to get completely demolished sometimes, and it looks completely different.
That's great. Keep doing that!
how true is the death from overwork in japan
Love That
I live in the country side and not tokyo (which from my perspective it's another country in Japan), and many things changed here...
I spent most of my teen years in Japan at this time, almost every other weekend spent in Tokyo just wandering about. Lot's of walking around and seeing the sights. I was 13 - 17 from 81 - 85, graduating HS in 85. Then I joined the USAF from WA state, and spend 88 - 91 in Fussa at Yokota AB. Loved this time period...

I was stationed at Yokota AB twice. 75 - 79, 81 - 85. After I retired from the Air Force I went back as a civilian working for Soft Bank 97 - 2000 and 2004 -2007. Love Japan and it's people. Plan on going back this Fall. America sucks now.

In this second part of the video, we can see footage from Juzo Itami's 1985 film "Tampopo," a ramen western, which was also used in the first part of the video, as well as footage from Coca-Cola's commercials from the 1980s ( A search for "I feel coke" will give you some candidates, but they are a must-see as they reflect the state of Japanese society at the time! ).

Because of movies
Hi - there's a word for that feeling. Sehnsucht in German and Saudade in Portuguese
That's because life isn't just passing on your genes, they also include feelings, memories, bonds from your ancestors which your body is currently reacting to as nostalgia, thus you feel deja vu.
The kind of energy from this era, not just Japan, and be it the beauty or the ugly, is simply unmatched.
Thank you for making this video. Brings back memories of my childhood living in Tokyo in the 80s.
As a child of the 80's, this is a beautiful thing to see. I remember seeing video from Japan and it looked like such an exotic world to me.
I’m a Japanese born in 1982 and something ironic is our generation suffered a lot after we became adults for lack of jobs, and I barely remember how good it was to live in the 80s.
@@Cliffem82 It was the same in the USA. I grew up a very poor kid in the late 1970's into the 80's and most of life seemed very hard to me too. Even with all the economic problems though, I still see that period's good points too especially for movies and TV. TV was my escape from the problems of daily life.
@@perdomot I think what you're talking about is connected but a little different, in that one if you is taking about growing up poor in spite of the prosperity, around you and the other is talking about having just been too young to enjoy said advantages. It's like the difference between an impoverished boomer and a middle class Xer. It's not quite the same, but really any line we could draw between different human experience is superficial
@@Cliffem82 Japanese economy went downhill after the financial crash in 1987. It was never the same after that. Those were the days of the popular Sony walkman, Canon cameras, NEC computers.

I came to Japan in 1982 and I'm still here. Watching this footage, it strikes that even though many things have changed (hairstyles, clothes, cars) most of what I remember from life in Japan from more than 40 years ago is still here, especially if you visit older parts of town. We lived in Nakano for four years in the late 80s/early 90s, and not a lot has changed. A few restaurants are gone, mainly because the owner got too old and his kids didn't feel like doing the hard work and the long hours in the restaurant business, and a few have been added, but the main look and feel of the streets hasn't really changed in a location like Nakano.
I‘ve been to Japan many times, there are a few things that haven't changed in Japan for decades, the extremely clean streets and environment, the elegant and polite people. love from China.

After watching this video I can say Japan is still an exciting and vibrant place to be. My wife and I went there in 2018 for 2 weeks. Lovely country. We went to Kenjinamiku, Mt. Fuji because there's a hotel there with a great view of the mountain, and Tsuginamiku where the art studio is and saw the sword shrine of Oda Nobunaga where you can get pictures taken for free in the samurai armor. We went in early spring just when the cherry blossoms were blooming and saw a Miyako-Odori play even. And the green tea ice cream. You don't know what hits you when you take a lick. And I got to taste real ramen! Got to visit the bread stores. And walking to those vending machines where you can get the hot coffee and drinks right out of the machines was a surprise. AND just like in anime or what you might see on NPR the trains were all full and you were asked to wear any book bags on your front. And if elders came on the train, they didn't demand seats but it was polite to let them have your seat if you could. Just the energy of the place. And before the sega building closed I got pictures of the place in Akihabara with a pen pal of mine named Jiro. He showed us how the buildings have many stores in them with an electronic store and toy store on the top floors and the Walmarts on the bottom. All the places like that were also connected to train stations. It was like walking in a "Dragon Quest" game. L2, L3, L4, and dissonant music playing in the speakers. D: One nasty thing we saw, however was the bottom of the subway routes at the sub levels. They had those floor toilets, and they were filthy. >.< One last thing Toei animation :D It was a lovely vacation, and if I had to say, the exterior of the country, what you see outside, has not changed much. People are quite traditional, folks walk around in the kimono's and the yukata's. The streets are very clean. And the lights stay on at night like you wouldn't believe. And it was safe. We walked around the area with the famous street in akihabara at night, and we got around without hassle. And if you go to temples or graveyards, you really have to show the most courtesy and respect as the people are REVERENT out at holy places. Most of the people we were with were super nice to us.
This is when the best anime were made! RIP Miura sensei.

こんな綺麗な映像があるんだ、、
その時代を生きている人たちがいたんだってことが伝わる。
なんか見れてよかった。
映画だから綺麗に撮れていますね。

Went to Kagoshima in 83/84, amazing, lovely people, mind blowing.
This video is so lively, it makes you feel like you are there.
子供時代だ。どれだけ時が経ってもこの頃の風景が絶対的な基準になっていると思う。
・・・・私の父が、どうやら「昭和20年代(父の小学生時代)」が基準だったらしく、「原体験に縛られすぎる」のはちょっと不幸だなぁと思いました。
My father was lucky enough to travel from Pakistan to Japan during the late 80's and from all of the stories he's told me about his experience in Japan, and all of the cool photos he's taken, it makes me wish I could witness what it was like living in such an awesome era! :,)

I hope he didn't planted c4 anywhere ola hu Uber kabooom
That's nice
@Average Enjoyer that's racist

Man just knowing that these people are from decades ago,just living life day by day leaves a certain emptiness in my heart and i don't know why...
東京の人って今もこんな感じだよね。
みんなそれぞれ好きなとこで好きなことしてる。
I visited Japan briefly back in the 1980s. It's nice to see scenes from back then. Japan is a beautiful country with wonderful people.
Those little kids you see in the video are probably in their 40's now. I was also a 80's kid, and just turned 40 last year.
Time flies, but it's a beautiful life =)
Me too
I arrived in Japan in 1984 and this film makes me really nostalgic about this wonderful country...
Felicitaciones. Hermoso trabajo recopilatorio. Gracias x compartir.
The 80's were better everywhere! Best decade ever!
Can you tell me what was so special in 80s?
@@epg96 as far as I know Afghanistan was hell on earth in 80s
@@afzalzazai6840 When things are most neutral i guess. People weren't obsessed with technology, weren't sensitive, weren't always bitching about freedom and rights etc. It's a period where free time are spent mostly outdoors instead of locking yourself at home facing something digital i guess. You know, where life truly happens.
I agree.
@@afzalzazai6840 it still is . try mexico now
Greetings from China. The 80s and 90s of Japan was a dream to me in my childhood. Japan's films were first introduced into China in the 80s. Famous actors/actress and songs remind me of that heavenly era, even today. Thank you for this lovely memory.
: )
It's like a memory I don't even have. I miss it so much when I've never even experienced it. Life was simply beautiful!
80's is the Golden era (Music, fashion, dance, movie and lifestyle) ❤️
i spent alot of time in japan a few years ago and once you get outside the big cities you can see parts of japan where it feels like development stopped in the 70s or 80s. im too young to have been their during the big boom of the 80s but im sure it was magical time.
懐かしいというより落ち着くという解釈がしっくりくる
近代的になり過ぎた今から思い返すあの頃。
楽しさとギラギラで懐かしい。
That night time in the city just looks absolutely gorgeous.
It just makes me sad that this era is gone, and we can only move forward and farther away from it...
The 80's and 90's. The perfect mix between the Old and the New
The 70s too!
Incredible video footage. Thanks for posting.
第二次世界大戦で焼け野原に焼き尽くされた東京が、わずか35年ほどでこの景色になったのは本当日本人の力強さ、底力を感じます。もっと日本人は自信を持っていいと思いました。
Born in the 80’s. I miss these days💔
Life was so much more simple and better.
The 80's was mankind at its peak creative mind. The 80's was the best decade to be alive, despite all the political turmoil.
I could agree it was the best time since the great Empires fell (early XX cent.).
I totally agree
Thank you for the music! And the 4 kittens at the kid's room are just like mine. So touching
You must never ever stop making these movies... this is it... this is the nostalgia
80s is the golden age for Japan, you can tell from people's proper dress and heartfelt smile.
These videos are absolutely amazing and the music goes with them perfectly. I've never been to Japan and I was born after the 80s but there is something in these videos that is calling me and can't pull away from it. These are some of the best TH-cam videos I've ever seen. Thank you my guy
Imagine being a kid during this time. I can't imagine how amazing it would have been!
As a north African I really appreciate the simplicity and humbleness of the Japanese aesthetics. It's refreshing. Japan should be more confident going forward. Japan is one of the few countries we Arabs truly respect. I wish them prosperity and happiness.
Because they never stepped on your tiny ego's
@@victoneter Because they don't start pointless wars like a certain fat, small dick country who wants to control the world.
what kind of a statement is "one of the few countries we arabs truly respect". 1. if you live in north africa, you were probably colonised by arabs, and now live like them. but you're not arab. 2. take a good look around you and notice the reputation that area has in the world. compared to japan. 3. every country and their population should be respected. same way your nation is/isn't respected.
@@bigiron4066 North Africans are Semites (google it) and welcomed the Arab because we were oppressed by Byzantium.. That's why Islam spread so fast and that's why Egypt fell so fast. We welcomed the Arabs with open arms.
I'll also would remind you that Arab didn't start out as an ethnicity (like it is today) but as a life style and set of values (most of which my ancestors already shared with Arabs).
We don't respect all countries equally, especially countries who are actively oppressing our people and countries who look the other way while genocides are happening.
There are many evil countries won't you agree? why should we respect them?
It's even worse when those countries are democracies.. it means the people are evil not the government! isn't that right?
The countries who consider themselves more civilized than others and think they're exceptional yet they fail to understand the symptoms of their disease.
@@bigiron4066 "1. if you live in north africa, you were probably colonised by arabs, and now live like them. but you're not arab." how condescending is that! you think you know everything don't you?
That is why Doraemon and shinchan are legendry.
And yeah bro I grew up in the 90s I was a little boy and it's nothing like Japanese video games like PlayStation in all that stuff it made most of these people hella famous like the guy who made Final Fantasy they made them Legends I'm so obsessed with Japanese culture just because of those video games I grew up with and Nostalgia of the anime I grew up with and even movies. Once you go Japan you never go back. 😆🤪
Astro boy 🤖
i knew someone would bring up this smh
When you were born in Japan in 1920, live your life, passaway in 1990 and reincarnated in the West and go online to feel nostalgia for a past life.
Without internet life was to good
Lol
Idk I'd probably be drafted and die in ww2 lol
Agree on that one man🏯🗾🗻⛩️🗼🇯🇵
This brings back many happy memories of living in Japan in the mid eighties
I've never been to Japan and i was born in 2000, and yet this gives me indescribable levels of nostalgia.
Same for me..
you'll love it.
Showa era was the most beautiful era to me, the typography, the industrial design, the color, the people, everything.
japan was incredibly beautiful, and still is. looking forward to visiting Japan.
this must be considered one of the best videos on youtube
昔もいいけど昔は昔、今はもっといいって思えるようにありたい。
少なくともインターネットがあってなんでも簡単に調べられるしアニメやゲームも好きに見られる。楽しいことは沢山ある。
私達が今をどう生きるか、だね。
日本の経済はうまくいっていないようですが、昔の日本人は今の日本人より幸せだったような気がします（Google翻訳）
