Around 13 years ago, I took a train on Osaka loop line to kaiyukan aquarium and remember the orange color train very well. 10 years later when i actually moved in and work in Osaka, I wondered why train became so much different and now this video explained it all.
Another excellent video. This line has a special place in my heart because (apart from the train ride in the from the airport), it was the first line I travelled on in Japan and it suitably blew my mind :)
Thanks Jonathan. Most visitors first impressions of Japan are experienced on the train system. I remember arriving at Ueno Station for the first time. I had to stop and take a moment and let it all sink in. 10 years later it's still sinking in lol.
So sophisticated one!! And story about the elevation of JNR Osaka station , and ‘dis-elevation’ of Hankyu Umeda station in 1934 is also interesting to see! I really recommend.
Thanks for watching, Kathy Kiyooka. Yes Osaka Station has a long deep history, I think it was elevated in the 1930s. This dis-elevation of Hankyu i didn't know about. I'll have to look onto it.
Yes true. I still don't understand how they elevated Osaka station lines and lowered Hankyu and kept both of them running. Osaka station started sinking straight away.
My memories of riding the Osaka Loop Line was pretty short. I used it to transfer from the Chuo Subway Line at Bentencho to Nishi-kujō to get to Universal Studios. Recently I have been into train melodies and I just found out around 2015 or 2016 they introduced departure melodies to all stations. The melodies seem to have something to do with the stations and surrounding areas.
My home ground, bro. Been here since 1987, when Osakajo-koen station was new and people still called JR KOKUTETSU. Thanks for the very cool vid. I have seen men expose themselves and women blame men for groping on the Osaka Loop Line.
Nice. A couple of errors I noticed. The map shows the Nishinari line spelt as Nishinahara line (e.g. 1:53). And at around 3:28, you have Kansei Line 西成線 2.2km. I think the Japanese for Kansei line (or Kansai line, both are correct) would be 関西線.
Thanks, Ijon Tichy. You have an good eye for detail. Sometimes I'm blind to basic mistakes. In one of my last videos I spelt Shibuya wrong and it was in English.
G'day from Down Under! Loving these videos, love the history and information and I can appreciate the amount of research and time taken to create these. Keep 'em coming! @khoistar
Hi kstar. Thanks for watching mate. I'm glad you like them as I do making them. The railway line episodes always take longer, about 2 months to make. Next one will be non rail,ike Tokyo Tower.
I can see the loop line has went through struggles and a lot of improvements, especially with the 4th generation osaka station, My eyes were wide open as soon as i saw the department store lol
Hey CMRO. Yes the Midojusu Line is on the list. Maybe later in the year. It was the first public funded subway in Japan and second to be built after the Ginza Line.
Hi Trainzer. I've already done the Ginza and Marunouchi Lines and will do more. But the next few episodes will be non rail for a bit of a change. The line episodes take a long time to make about 2 months. Do you have a line you would like to see?
Lol xsanctom. Sorry about that. I know my Japanese pronunciation is a long way off and I've been trying through these to improve it with time. I'm a little tone deaf also so improvement will be slow.

Which was your favourite Osaka Station? Mine was the second generation building.
Namba Ofcrouse.
too many crazy memories.
Ah Namba good times.
When can the Fukuchiyama Line be uploaded?
Probably next will be the Midosuji Line.
Can the Fukuchiyama Line be uploaded after the Chuo Line?

Very informative, thank you! I lived “inside the loop” for 12 years.
One note…say it with me ;
Nih-She-Nar-Eeeeeee
Nishinari.
Lol, thank you Sir. No matter how many times I say it I don't think I'll get it right.
Thank you for watching.

When I was in Osaka I mostly rode on the Midosoji Metro line as I was based in Shin-Osaka.
I just moved to Osaka, and am living off of the loop line, so this is very entertaining!
Glad you liked it.

Damn, macabremenace. You seen some history bro, good and bad. I'll be doing an episode on Osaka Station soon. It opened in 1874. Thanks for watching.
@@JapaneseHistory Thank you for replying.

The section between the after Inamiya Station right to Namba station is on underground, was that section used to be on the ground-level?
Yes, aycea. This section used to be on the ground and was in operation since the late 1890s.
G'day from Down Under!

True, YDS. I didn't know that Osaka Station had been rebuilt so many times. My favourite was the second generation station building.
You do video the Midojusi line history osaka metro
Hey CMRO. Yes the Midojusu Line is on the list. Maybe later in the year. It was the first public funded subway in Japan and second to be built after the Ginza Line.
So cool!
Glad you liked it ChapmanoTV.
Are you planning to make the history about more Tokyo Metro Lines anytime soon?
Hi Trainzer. I've already done the Ginza and Marunouchi Lines and will do more. But the next few episodes will be non rail for a bit of a change.
The line episodes take a long time to make about 2 months.

@@JapaneseHistory Probably the Tokyo Metro Tozai line would be a good one
Your pronunciation is out of control.. NISHINAROW ?
Informative nonetheless.
Lol xsanctom. Sorry about that. I know my Japanese pronunciation is a long way off and I've been trying through these to improve it with time.
I'm a little tone deaf also so improvement will be slow.
I like your content, but your pronounciation of Japanese names seems kinda irritating.
It'd be really good if that improves.
No problem heavy gaming. It's something I'll need to continue to work on. But I do have a problem with it.
