You are not the only one, friend. I too think that the world began to crumble after 2005 (approximately), and now in 2023 this planet is a round piece of crap.
@@domio_domio The 1990's were definitely not a golden era for Japan. The economy collapsed about 1-2 years after this video and lead to the 90's being dubbed the "lost decade". Or were you talking about the early 90's only?
Can I ask you what made you record this randomness when there was no internet in that time? By the way, I was living in Japan from 1990 to 94. and thanks for this videos, it refreshes my memory somehow.
I'm not the channel owner obviously lol but he might have done this just to rememeber being there. When I record it usually isn't for any real reason other than to just to save the moment.

What's striking to me is that Japan has more or less stayed this way for the next 30 years. Bursting of the bubble and economic stagnation has hit this place pretty hard.
But still late 80s to early 90s Tokyo is still more developed,modern and advanced than most american cities. I saw the freeways and public transport infrastructure and was amased how modern and developed it was. I used to live in NYC in the 90s and NY infrastructure is no where near as advanced as Tokyo.
@@hectorroman9164 However, in 1990 the New York Skyline was something unmatched, it was the only city with such a dense skyline, Tokyo was not even close. NY was the only global city back then. Even back then, the USA was the one with the largest and most developed infrastructure in the world. China had not yet emerged.
I disagree in the 90s Japan had a financial crisis that made a lot of graduated university students unable to find job. Today still many of them suffer the consecuences..
from history sources and people alive during those times, they say the 1980's was highest point in Japan, and sometime in the early 90's is when the decline happened
I feel like every big city in the world used to have a lot of ADULTS walking around in the cities.. today it seems like cities are just brimming with a bunch of children and young adults... doesn't make the cities as fun or mysterious as they used to be
I'm Korean and I have my grandfather who sacrificed for my country Independence from wicked Japan. I have thought that japan has unknown about their brutality to Korea and Korean. The one who lost the past must be ruined. Please acknowledge your atrocities and apologize(사죄하라) to Korea and Korean In the '80s and '90s, prosperity of japan owe to the Korean war Now and future, Maybe japan will go bad and go zero. I hope japan will go good sincerely. Good luck
Not really tho. They do things very differently. Of course there's no denying that Korea and China are experiencing faster development than Japan. Japan has never really recovered from the bubble burst.
Guys whats the point of fighting for whose country is better? Don’t you want to visit both? I love both cultures , can’t we root for both countries to have success? There’s also many japanese living in s korea and s Koreans living in Japan. Its important to remember the atrocities of the past and commemorate the victims,but we shouldn’t let old hatred stop us from creating a peaceful and prosperous future. Look how far we’ve gotten, imagine how much further we can go together.

Tokyo is awesome, I've always loved going there.
maybe like October of August of 1990. The Tokyo metro government building was completed December of that year.
October of August?
He probably meant "or"
I remember it being built that year.
It gives me feeling of nostalgia, even though I have never been to Japan... Weird
13:40 Shinjuku station elevator girls...so nostalgic.
this job doesn't exist now?
not at all now. it's gone from even the whole japan for years already
Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building has them as well
Some shopping malls still have elevator girls today.
I've seen elevator girls in the Sky Tree and in the Tokyo Tower last year.
Also there is a drama named Tokyo Elevator Girl from 1992.
Un documento visual histórico sin duda alguna.

Had no clue Sunshine City was this old. Just went there last summer.
1:58. I used to live on the Odakyu line when I lived in Japan. Shinjuku station layout and infrastructure looks the same, but older. Very interesting!

They used to be great and ahead till bubble era ended few years after from 1990
umm they STILL are great and there was NO bubble. And they STILL far ahead`!

no smartphones!
At that time, mobile phones were also expensive, so it was an era when they were not generally popular.
bring back the 90's !!!! fuck technology
japan metro announcment is still the same.. surprised
Tokyo changed few.
@1.41 Was it taken at Sunshine City?
I am Japanese.
Definitely so.

Sunshine City was created in 1978.
