I just want to crawl into this film clilp and live there forever! Tokyo looked SO wonderful in the 1960's and 70's! I do think this is maybe a few years after '70 because some of the fashion, cars, and a few of those skyscrapers in Shinjuku (shown at the end) had not yet been built, but still early-to-mid 70's. Lovely!
@@burgertim7878 I did know that. As is always the case, unless during a wartime, the past "seems" a calmer and more simple time because we're constantly getting hit with knew unknowns, like Covid 19, in the present. and the problems of the past become known history. So I'm seeing that time with a lot of romance. I also know that, socially, shit was hitting the fan in those years for Japan. EVERYTHING was changing very quickly: extended families were no longer living together, people's post-war-time homes were being bulldozed to make bigger danchi apartment blocks; pollution was a toxic bi-product of industry, It was NOT a calm time, everything was being "Westernized". but it was also an amazing renaissance for that Showa-era. It was both scary and great.

I have been learning Japanese for one year and as a student I have had the opportunity to participate in 4 tea ceremonies. I truly admire and love Japanese culture so much!
Great vid. Here in Japan I sometimes run across HD movie made before 70s, but the film condition is worse than this. I could see people's subtle facial expression or even desk pencils on desk. Quite amazing you've saved the footage for many years.
Watching the period where my passed away grandpa living in his 20s life makes me feel poignant about it. I never heard about his life story since he passed away when I was still small. I just hope that he did live his youthful life happily and without any regrets.
I'm Japanese and living walk distant place from Atsugi base. I had been worked on Kamiseya base when I was student 80-84. They‘d already fallen into ruin now. Townscape and the atmosphere of this small town isn't changed.
Ah yes, Japan in before the bubble burst in the early 1990's. It was the beginning of the end of Japan's infallible economy. Everybody, including the Japanese thought it would never end. Only a few short years later, Japan's economic bubble would pop and lifetime employment as they knew it would be over. Suddenly, we found that the Japanese workers were not so much unlike American workers or British workers or other workers. They didn't necessarily enjoy being owned by the company and giving all of their lives to the company either. Most Japanese men of that generation retired with few hobbies or interests beyond work, yet they were forced to retire young. They were like living ghosts. The Japanese workforce of today is not like this. They are much more like their western counterparts - working to live instead of living to work.
Excelent videos! I always wanted to know how the people lives in a different enviroments, different countries but also culture as well! Honestly, Excelente videos!!
HAHAHAH,,,,,,,Reminds me the D&G chopstick pizza scandal, mainland Chinese got upset seeing the Asian model eating pizza with chopstick. Claiming it is insulting to the Chinese nation's feeling.
Back then, Japan dominate the world trade. Imagine export powerhouse like China today but everything is Japanese brand and reputation is similar to Germany.
Documental is more from 1974-1975. The skyscraper of Shinjuku area that be appears at last section were built between 1971-1975, including the Shinjuku Mitsui Building that be completed in 1974. Fashion were of mid 1970s (1974-1975).
I'm not sure how I feel about these kinds of programs. It's almost as if they were shot with the intended purpose of showing how America's little project has been "progressing" since the occupation. The idea of an entire country being monitored and treated as some sort of experiment upsets me to some degree.

look what stealing and robbing from the Koreans, Philipphino, Chinese and many other nations look like, no wonder they were so advanced, also they never acknowledged unit 731 or their war crimes not only that but there enshrined ina shinto temple. IMAGINE IF HITLER HAD A SHRINE.
*Watches Japan video in 1974* Me: Gets 4-5 hours sleep and am woken up due to phone ringing because people don't respect that I work nights. Repeat the latter part for another few hours never getting solid sleep. Jumps in a shower. Microwaves breakfast/lunch or just lazily buys a burger or sandwich on the way to work. Works in a dangerous neighborhood so doesn't go out for "lunch" break which is around 10 PM and ends up eating chips out of a vending machine. calls uber to go home at 4 am. Gets home takes a shower and slowly drifts off to sleep with a long UA-cam video.

Is this perhaps a slightly misleading advertisement meant to draw foreign workers to Japan? Or were things just much more laid back in the 70's? I lived in Japan for a year in 2015 and from what I've seen and heard from friends, things like tea rooms and volleyball at lunch are not remotely common.
70s-80s were really the peak decades for not only Japan but also the world in general - things were going great in the 70s especially until the OPEC crisis messed everything up.
Golden age for Japan on 70’s,80’s.

But i still agree with my friend here...Japan was Better before because people had souls back in 70s... Now people work non-stop and are less social
It was actually quite polluted there during the 70's.

First thing I looked for in the comment section after I heard that...what a joke. Karoshi is not known yet.
@Graxxor Anandro Vidhelssen well its good to know things are improving
Most Japanese ppl work normal I think 8 hours a day but some others work very long and overtime which is bad especially if it's often
