It's been sampled in our music since 2010

You missed the part when about booming hotel construction made rent impossible to pay and kicking out long time residents

It's kinda easy to believe how disrespectful and stinky you are, gaijin

In those movies there is always a white guy going to Japan and having a love story with a japanese woman, while often japanese men were not shown as love object. Often they are babaric, or in other way a negative stereotype. I would not watch Shogun or any other of them. Seems like still japanese women get sexualized, fetishized. I would definitley watch, if a white woman would go to Japan and gets married to a japanese man ❤❤❤ I am german and my husband is japanese. We have a baby daughter. I hope when she is older, the movies are better and she can see there a couple like her own family. Many married couples and familys like us exists. Its increasing constantly

As a german woman with japanese husband, we will settle down in Japan soon. One reason for me is that i feel as a woman much more respected in Japan than in Germany. In Japan i can wear skirts and dresses in private and at office while getting the same respect. Its considered normal cloth. In tv are not half naked women. Maybe they would show women as mothers, but at least they are human and not like sexualized objects.

I just say corruption as well. As if politicians in Japan, specially in Kyoto, are free from it.

Very American

That’s why I wouldn’t visit Kyoto….

It' s the sense of nostalgia and the longingness to experience the 70s and 80s is making me obsessed with japanese citypop

I only took one bus when I visited Kyoto....Otherwise I walked everywhere while there....On a slightly different note. When I was signing in at my hotel..I was asked if I was a member of a criminal gang!...No where else in Japan I was asked that.

One of the main reasons people are so anxious to immigrate to Australia & NZ is the best work/home life balance in the World. In Japan, allowing a group of power- hungry old men to make all the rules has been a disaster the last 50 years. Why does it persist?

That's why we have Prozoro in Ukraine. He wouldn't be able to pass that renovation here

Incompetence? Corruption!

The other factor is that even though Kyoto has a top class education it doesn’t have any job openings. (Except for tourism) Most people stay around when they are students but they just move out after that to major cities like osaka Tokyo etc.

It's because the fucking 80's were better than now.

This was a great watch! But I think you sort of glanced over HOW exactly it originally took off, which could be a video in and of itself because it’s straight up hilarious: As you mentioned Japan is still very digital media adverse even to this day but was significantly moreso a decade ago. Most people outside of Japan had never heard older music from that country at all simply because it only existed in physical media form, or if it was digital really only on Japanese websites/forums. I don’t remember the exact year (2010-2012ish) but it was when UA-cam was first testing their Recommendation Algorithm out. It was the beginning of the “suggested video” phase we’re in on every social media app. Around that same time, a person uploaded a video to UA-cam where they played a Plastic Love vinyl on a turntable and the audio was I guess fed directly to their computer because it sounded fantastic. It was the first time a high quality “rip” of the song was ever put on the website to my knowledge. For whatever reason, there was an insane bug in their algorithm and this person’s upload of Plastic Love was recommended after almost every single video on the platform. Listening to rap? Here’s Plastic Love. Trying to learn some home improvement DIY stuff? Here’s Plastic Love. Looking into health and fitness tips? Here’s Plastic Love. The video got millions and millions of views in a few weeks/months before it was copyright struck and taken down lol. It was the real first mass exposure to City Pop in the West and undoubtedly kicked off the love that we all share for it today. So thanks UA-cam I guess. Lmfao

At this point even Wendy's implementing surge pricing, but as always Japan is too slow on adapting to the new technologies even though they have ability

Why are Japan's skies always dirty, Grey, and polluted? 😢 😭

I'm sorry but can't not ask - just incompetent or maybe corrupt? That money must have gone somewhere. If I understand correctly, the things that were said to improve the situation aren't built or not being done properly, but the money is still going on, so... I'm from Ukraine and the corruption problem is very widespread in our country, hope it's not the case in Japan.

I always disliked Kyoto for being touristy..until I went there myself. Stayed in Umekoji, just one stop away from Kyoto station and it was so quiet and peaceful there. I visited imamiya shrine, tsuruya kakujuan and kurama. Those places are what visiting Kyoto is all about. Imamiya shrine is so beautiful and peaceful, there was a cute miko working the amulets counter, and right beside the shrine was 2 shops selling grilled mochi on skewers. It was such a shame that the bus I took to get there, everyone only alighted and boarded at the Kinkakuji stop but I was the only person who stopped at Imamiya shrine. Tsuruya kakujuan is a traditional sweets shop set up right beside the shinsengumi museum. It's kinda a residential area without tourists so it was peaceful as can be. The weather was perfect and we all ordered a drink and sweets to enjoy there. Lastly was Kurama, such a beautiful mountain and all its little temples all along the mountain path. Its a shame it doesnt get more tourists but then again, I'm not sure having more tourists in these places would not ruin it.

Reminds me of a few Italian cities.

In Japan, it is customary to take your garbage home or to your hotel, as every travel guide says. This has nothing to do with the city of Kyoto's need to save money! You can also look for a hotel near the subway, so you can explore everything on foot along the subway line!

京都の市長の無能さがついに外国人にバレたか😢

Great solutions but it's incredibly appalling to me that you made a YT channel discussing Japanese society and its issues while you didn;t understand the fundamental things of the Japanese people and its culture “If you can fill or do your taxes online, how hard can it be to book tickets online?” A great ignorant way of thinking that is highly unexpected lol. By logic that does make sense but the issue is Japanese people still do the majority of their life aspects the old-school way, including filing their taxes. So how can the average Japanese person understand the basic things of buying train tickets online if they never did anything online lol? Also this kind of system of booking train tickets online brings more harm than good as this will confuse tourists who are now the biggest customer base for JR Group as booking tickets online, even on smaller commuter trains would just confuse them. “Pegged train tickets to the airline ticket prices so that it can bring a lot of profit for train companies” Yes, that could work. Why not? It works wonders in the UK and rest of Europe right now with their unaffordable ticket prices, constant net losses for rail services, and that people are being pushed into planes and cars as it reduces competitiveness in the rail sector with plane ticket from Manchester to Canary Islands is way cheaper than a train ticket from Manchester to Liverpool lol. Really a great way for JR to finally achieve profitability And where is your solution for handling JRs seniority, toxic work culture, lack of innovation and stagnant wage ones?? The issues that the company faces the most in 20 straight years now, you said at the beginning of the video, resulted in its top officials resigning. No solution on that? Sad to say that this is the worst video on your channel ever

This stuff really didn't take off until music was readily available online. Before that it was a random lucky snippet from a bootlegged VHS tape or something obscure that someone ordered at Tower Records.

I do hope you put Japanese subtitles in this so that Japanese viewers will understand your point of view.

I'm not surprised because pile-of-tricks happens all over the world !!!🙌🏻

過労死するほど働いている人はこの二十年でめっきり減ったと思うよ…

Sounds like typical conservative values wrecking cities

yep, the transportation in Kyoto is absolutely horrid for world heritage tourist sites as I went there last year

I have visited Kyoto many times, and really like the city, but I feel like there are too many people for its size, and that is very familiar for me because I live next to Florence, Italy which suffers many of the same problems that you have described for Kyoto. Funnily enough they are also twinned cities... So... no more kyoto for me, unless my son insists to go to the train museum, at least for a while. Fortunately there's a lot more to see in Japan than Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka! Next year we're planning to visit Shikoku.

Not quite a city pop but Mizue Takada n Yoshimi Iwasaki is my absolute fav divas

To be honest I'm confused on why foreigners like travelling in Kyoto so much. It's always a weird thing to me that shrines or temples are considered a tourist spot. No they are not. They are the places where people would go to on the new year's Day and pay respect to, they are the places where your love ones rest in peace. They are part of people's lives, not a theme park for sightseeing. I'm really confused on the fixation of foreigners to Kyoto. These shrines or temples should never be seen as travelling attraction in the first place. I don't have any opinions on Kyoto but it's never on the top list of where I wanna visit in Japan.

I figure SK and Taiwan are cheaper. They both now have slightly higher average incomes but PPP shows a larger disparity.

Top 1 Anime betrayal since Italy

What’s the over time laws in Japan? Or is it called Own Time so no extra pay?

Funnily Kyoto was the only city in Japan with stressed out locals and really should be avoided. It’s a beauty but these tourists destroy everything. After 4 days I escaped to Hokkaido. Much more inviting. I like Kyoto but won’t return. Try Kobe and Yokohama…. More fun

Kyoto should implement a VAT to raise reveneu from tourism.

Japan should legalize prostitution, prostitution practically it's already legal it's all game of pretend.

Similar to other responses, but I think the fact that Mario games have been a part of my life literally since I was born is a huge reason as to why I love city pop. Thomas Game Docs (one of my favorite channels, would highly recommend!) has some amazing videos talking about specific city pop artists whose music most likely had a big influence on Mario soundtracks, and it immediately clicked for me when I heard the similarities.

Dynamic pricing eventually devolves to price gauging. It NEVER works in the favor of a traveler, JR will continue to have Shinkansen that travel empty precisely because there is never enough time for the Japanese to go on vacation.

wow. this is tragic. seems more corrupt than incompetent

Naaah don't tax all tourists, just fine the dumb ones and tax the temples

Interesting, definitely food for thought. Ookini!

In the "Heikemonogatari" the 12th-century Kyoto aristocracy comes across as this utterly decadent and out-of-touch group. Blindly self-assured of their importance and obsessed with petty internal political games, they cannot see the rise of the samurai class or fathom the implications of that fact. The more things change, the more they stay the same....

it's definitely something wrong when a tourism booming city is going bankrupt... it doesn't takes much brain cell to speculate something is seriously wrong in the government management.

Waiting for you to say the City Hall has a built in water park with slides 🛝

Your life is not worth wasting away to make a Corporation & the CEO tons of money while you miss out in life..

So far I have heard working in Toyota in Japan is just like to end in an asylum for the severity of working hours there. Simply the workers do not have life only work.

To play devil's advocate a bit, the Japanese seem perfectly willing to "fetishize" their own culture inwardly to themselves as well, so this isn't just a western thing. And corollary to that, Americans have held aloft and overly idealized our cultural origins as well. This is a form of mythologizing, and while it doesn't make good history, it is a useful and (dare I say) even a positive way of forming cultural bonds as generations come and go.
