Classic Olympic highlights as Japan women's volleyball team add to the men's bronze with the gold medal in the tournament as the home nation at the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games.
This was the first time volleyball had been included in the Olympic programme, and it was keenly anticipated by the home supporters. The Japanese men took bronze, behind the dominant Soviet Union, but the home nation was more focused on Japan's women's volleyball team.
Ten members of the team worked at the same spinning mill near Osaka. The team's coach, Hirofumi Daimatsu, also worked there, where he was in charge of buying office supplies. Such an ordinary exterior hid a man of extraordinary determination.
His training techniques bordered on the extreme. Players were taunted and forced to train almost every day of the year, but Daimatsu also created new tactics that have survived to this day.
He crafted a highly successful team that captured the fascination of the Japanese public. They were expected to win, and to win with style.
They obliged by dropping just one set in the whole tournament, a narrow 15-13 reverse at the hands of Poland. Even then, there was a reason - that set was conceded only after Daimatsu had taken some of his best players off the court in order to frustrate the watching Soviet scouts.
In the final match, the women played the USSR. The Soviet team actually reached the final with a superior record, with four victories and no sets conceded, but the match did not turn out to be the classic that neutrals might have hoped for. Instead, the Japanese were dominant from beginning to end, winning 3-0.
For the home fans, though, it was exactly the result they had hoped for. The women's triumph was watched by 80% of the country on TV.
After the Olympic Games were over, the team's captain, Masae Kasai, met the Prime Minister. She mentioned that she could not meet a prospective husband because of the athletes' strict training regime. He sympathised, set her up on a date with a man named Kazuo Nakamura - and the two went on to marry.

It' s almost incredible how the Japaneses dominated the game, even being half the size and height of the Russians, just a masterpiece of character, tactics and organisation
@@allgoo1990 Oh, completely true!
@@babyelian77 Complete BS! 😂😂
Both the coach and players of Japan retired after winning that gold medal. The coach became a member of the Japanese parliament (and remained until his death ten years later). He never coached any other teams.
Yes and they were all full time factory workers
Wow! 1964? First of all, I was not expecting that video quality in that year.

I guess Japanese always had the best camera ahead of everybody else.
The chances are, your camera is Japanese. If it's not made in Japan(only top of the line are made in Japan these days), it's definitely comes with Japanese brand name.

That looks great too but the difference is one is out door slow moving object, another is fast moving object indoor.
You have to have a lens of about 5 stops faster to produce the same quality images in that situation.
If you ever shopped around for the lens you'll know that the difference in the price between 1.4 and 2.8(2stops) of the same focal length will be about 5 times.
I know right? Videos from the 80s looked like they were filmed on potatoes compared to this
@@alexarias5717 not really lol
@@itskindofemily well ripped footage on VHS I mean
The quality is better than 2000's videos
To the person who filmed this with a telephoto from 5 meters away, great job.
And this happened just decades after WW2. Japan is amazing!
Amigo, you do realize the rest of the civilized world also participated in WW2. And Japan was one of the few countries that DIDN'T get invaded, it's infrastructure decimated and civilians slaughtered. Like for instance the team they are playing against.
Uhh the United States bombed Japan pretty hard in the last year or so of WW2
Japan's infrastructure and most of its cities were completely destroyed in WW2, with the death of millions of civilians.
Terangeree this isn't right. Japanese total losses were ~2.5 million "Tokyo 51% destroyed" They didn't even destroy the capital. Japan got off very lightly. If not for the nukes, that's where the real destruction would start.
The city where I met my wide suffered a common fate for Japanese cities. Fukuyama is the second largest city in Hiroshima Prefecture, and, two days after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, 93 USAAF B29 bombers offloaded their incendiary bombs on Fukuyama. The raid lasted less than 90 minutes, totally destroyed 80% of the city and killed more than 70,000.
By way of comparison, the infamous firebombing of Dresden employed 1,203 heavy bombers conducting multiple air raids over two days, with a death toll of around 25,000.
My feet hurt just by looking at their shoes, we've come a long way baby.
I like the hairstyles and the way they serve!
Funny thing, this victory inspired a woman, Chikako Urano, to write a manga, Attack No.1, who was later turned into anime, and pretty much started with other sports manga directed to girls
That music at the end...............sounds like Godzilla has descended upon the Yoyogi Gymnasium!
Lol! I am totally dead laughing!
Kelly Jay OMG
what you hear is the oldest anthem in there world "Kimigayo"
hahaha so truee
Proud with Japan..admire their hardwork
5 years later this was adapted into the anime "attack no 1"
Yeeeesssss !!!! Great anime serie! Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸♥️
I was too young to remember the 64 games, but the 68 games, I watched my aunt cry in despair when the Soviets won the Gold in 68 over the Japanese. She fell on the floor and was inconsolable.
Years ago I watched a documentary about this team and the brutal training they endured to prepare for the task of representing their nation as hosts.
Yea I think I watched that one too, makes me feel sad.. :{
Elijah Robinson Where can I find it?
Junior Vieira Saraiva I wish I could tell you but I just saw it years ago on tv and don't remember the name of it anymore, maybe the other guy can help you.
I can give you a short summary in what I remembered if it though: I remember they said they didn't have free days, they couldn't have boyfriends or any relationships, they were always in the same building training from day to night like prisoners, they didn't eat almost anything just a banana as meal or something like that for example, they were being molested, their hairs were cut and they were not allowed to look pretty, they were basically volleybal robot slaves. There is more but I don't remember it anymore it was very sad though.
Alaturka I can imagine the hard times these girls when through. Happily everything has changed, they are now international superstars. I mean they still work hard to achieve their goals but with the treatment they deserve as human beings and profesional athletes.
@@aysun8392 that's still the process of Japanese training today. Maybe a little relaxed but still as compounded.
The Japanese coach was so happy ..........
caravaggio31 says:
"The Japanese coach was so happy .........."

Actually he was holding his tears.
That was the only goal he had, to prove his method works. And he did it while the whole world is watching.
Yes, many times, showing off the dental arch does not mean being truly happy. The coach's expression can hide a flood of emotions ... This victory means a lot to him, much more than we can imagine.
That Coach is Hirofumi Daimatsu
..See his history and you understand why to do that if even win the Olympic gold medal
こんな動画が見られるとは思ってもみなかった。ラッキー！！ 選手たちが輝いていた、日本が輝いていた、、、そして美智子様が得も言われぬくらい気高く美しくあられます！！！
The coverage of this game was great. The filming quality and angles is great! Can't believe this was almost 60yrs ago.
Japan always best
What's with the Godfather music immediately after Japan won?
Es Japón, que esperaba zamba?
Bueno, no esperaba zamba pero si es algo curioso. Suena como una tragedia.
It’s the national anthem
@@daikicipolloni3151
No it is not lol
1964年東京オリンピック、ソ連―日本のバレーボール決勝戦がこんなに鮮明に見れるなんて貴重な映像です。
the players in red look like adele lmaoooo looks like adele aint rolling in the deep. she's rolling in the taraflex!
😂😂😂
美智子さまがいらっしゃたんですね。I am impressed that Crown Princess (Empress, now) Michiko presented at this game.
私も感激しました。I love her. She is beautiful and she is a real Princess and Empress.
Super Epic! My great respect to Japan.
That Japanese serve is iconic. I wish I could see Boskovic or Egonu serve like that :P
This was awesome! Japan still rules in 2016!
they had to wipe their own floor lol
Now we have little useless children who do that :)
@@aysun8392 Ahh... good ol' child labour.
@@aysun8392 and now we’ve come full circle
That's their culture, and there is nothing bad about that.
it's their culture to clean their own mess
The real Mila Superstar - and of course Midori Hayakawa (left handed) served the winning ball ;-)
I hope Olympics uploads the whole match with the same quality.
In the 1964 Olympics, the tournament was played in a single round-robin format. All teams were placed into a single pool and faced each other once. Japan won all 5 matches and lost only one set to Poland among all those matches.
Final positions:
🥇 Japan
🥈 Soviet Union
🥉 Poland
4. Romania
5. United States of America
6. South Korea
Nice story. Thanks for sharing :)
Full match please !
Me encanto como japon revoluciono el volibol en los 60's-70's. Antes se jugaba otro volibol sin muerte subita en cada punto y a 15 tantos, buen video :)
Those video looks incredibly a e s t h e t i c
I love Japan 🇮🇩
"Respect and discipline" like Eric Cartman said
体格差や本来からそなわる筋力差を鑑みるとやっべぇ凄いことよな！
昔はスパイクの打点が低いのでひたすらレシーブで拾って相手のミスを待つという戦略が刺さったように思います。
今はスパイクの打点が高くブロックで止めるという体格の勝負になってしまっていますが。
Wow. The footage is great
@3’55” was that the young empress of Japan.
wow. too intense!
メダル授与式は今みたいに自分若しくは隣の人でかけるではなく、ちゃんとスタッフがかけてくれるのが素晴らしい。
Ohh so great ! :D Ill watch them :D
Aww mi primer deporte de mis amores, interesante narración y tomas.
Full Match please!😢😢😢
The ball, the serve the play was so other :>
All were professional their work!!!
that song is like their winning was the world's biggest tragedy lol
HAHAHAHA
Hey they’re hosting again!
Possibly the best Women's Volleyball team ever.
Best Women's Volleyball Team ( for all Time) - this is Super-CUBA 1989-2000 years ( but not this is Japan-1964)
The Japanese player is the movement that is slim and light like a ninja.
I thought that like the Zero fighter with superior sustained performance and exercise performance at light weight.
Tthe team called Witch of The East after defeating strong European and American Teams back then, thus capping the Gold Medal
Japan women's volleyball team

リスカルの初陣。しかし1976まで現役だからな、凄いもんだよ！
The Soviet team had their spirit absolutely crushed; you can notice that they had lost way before they had actually lost.
Their morale was absolutely devastated.
東洋の魔女の雄姿 大松監督の期待に見事応えた！
日本が小さいっていうか、ロシア選手の身体つきが一回り太いよね。
こんなんでよく勝てたよな。

Podrá Japón lograr de nuevo esta hazaña de ganar en su propia tierra en Toquio 2020?
the hair though
+Mak de villa their hair looked like they are going for dinner and not fighting for gold at an olympic final !!!!
Jajajajaja
Poland finished third, the silver medal went to USSR.
What's with the sad dramatic music at the end? It almost makes it sound like they lost
What's up with that ominous music at the end? "Kimigayo" would have been more appropriate.
Wow our serving has modified so much...
Really?? Im not sure i read aboutit a few weeks ago.. But maybe ur right. However its good too and it doesnt change my opinion that im proud !!! :D
3:03
皇后陛下(当時の美智子妃殿下)、お綺麗ですね。
0:58 these technic of serve is a bit weird compare to this era
Japanese deserve to win in this Olympic
They might, but they have to be taller
The time when every player can set.
Japan No Spirit
This doesn't tell the most interesting part of the story, that the Japanese team were full time factory workers at a textile mill, who played and practiced after work in the dorms. The Soviet women, like many Olympians, didn't have secular jobs and trained every day. The Japanese team all came from poor rural families who had sent them to work and they were tough as nails and determined. They invented several unique serves and saves based on Judo moves that continue to be used. They were viewed as "of the people", to the extent that they think 85 percent of the country watched the match live
Is this what inspired Attack No. 1?
Yes attack No. 1 was inspired by this event
Japan is waiting to make history again at the Tokyo Olympic
The time when SEIKO used to make watches affordable to common people…
Mimi ayouhara
who were there names?
There's no janitorial services? 1960s?😱
Their hair .......wow!
The net looks higher than normal
Mila e SHiro
宮本さん可愛いかったなー
what's the name of "that" serve???
+ClaudioPoliOfficial underhand
+ClaudioPoliOfficial windmill serve....very popular in the 1980s!!
it's called the roundhouse serve!
これが東洋の魔女ってわけですかー
what was the foul (violation of reglament) of the Soviet team that gave the victory to the Japan team ?
See frozen still at 4:13 point in time
passing your hand beyond the net when attacking is forbidden
@@Kitsune-kun663 not anymore i dont think but back then yea
Overreaching
4.45 til end... the music so creepy
โฮ้ยังไม่เกิดเลยน่ะ
Why does the Japanese coach look so unhappy after his team won?
Japanese coaches are not likely to be unhappy. He thinks of a female athlete who has endured severe practice so far and thinks that he is enduring shedding tears
The company and coach had been accused of abusing female employees.
After finishing their factory jobs, they were forced to train more than professional athletes.
In return, the company promised to find marriage partners for its female employees.
However, the company did not seriously try to keep its promises.
The coach had to resign from a company that didn't keep his promises and negotiate with the prime minister to find a marriage partner for the player.
Last point is over-reaching against the back liner setter of USSR...
Yes right right! i made a mistake ! but i dont care cos 3rd place is so fantastic too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what was the enemy team
