People keep saying how Japan's population is in decline but, there are now, at present, more Japanese people than there were in the 1980s. It's clear that it's not the quantity of people, but the quality. Populations ebb and flow, there is no need to import mass amounts of Somalians to Japan.. and in doing so, do you think the crime rate will go down? stay the same? or go up? Moral of this story is, Japan needs to close the borders and remain Japanese. It will be fine, in 100 years, in 500 years.
Those immigrating to Japan should adapt to Japan as much as is practicable, not the other way round. Somalians (or those of any other nationality) should not be forced to leave their country for better opportunities elsewhere. Rather, they should be able to solve their problems and prosper right where they are.

its really interesting to see how much new inventions were back than and not in japan alone but also other countries, today it feels like we just optimize and do not invent
Japan's energies were much better spent pursuing electronic innovations rather than the western pacific dominance they were going for just 40 years before...
The Pacific was dominated by the Western powers who enslaved the nations of Asia. The clash between Japan, the only non-western nation to successfully industrialize was a matter of time. From the north were the russians, from the west the Americans, from the south the British, french and the Dutch, and from the east a civil war broke china with a western inclined government (ROC) and Soviet influenced states (Mongolia, East Turkmenistan/Xinjiang and Manchuria).
@@marnixmaximus3053 not entirely true.. Not sure which history you learnt.. Either way they learnt from the West the importance of industrialisation, bureaucracy and a strong military during the Meiji Restoration and grew rapidly. The Western powers then saw them as a threat and blocked them from natural resources (containment). This led the Japanese to a lot of war atrocities and genocide thereafter, but primarily for the resources required for further industrialisation. This is what we learn in our history books in South-East Asia. That's why whenever we are able to look pass the media propaganda and detect neo-colonialism/containment/human-rights preaching to keep the global south down, people in this region tend to get disgusted.

Japan‘s national universities have a large number of international students from Asia. After the war,there were 3.2 million Japanese babies. The number of pure Japanese babies in 2025 will be around 250,000. Japan has 47 prefectures. Every year,one prefecture's Japanese population disappears. Every year,one prefecture of immigrants is created. Japan is popular with foreigner who want a Japanese passport. The majority of coming of age ceremonies in Japan are foreigners.
I do remember from about 1989 to 1993, my teachers tryin to motivate us with that. They said "Japan is 10 years in the future. Work harder and catch up." I liked joking about how for years I was doing what the herbivore men do. Such people would absolutely not be happy about that.
Very good find, Mr. Periscope. I'm surprised Japan was so far advanced back then. I think America had different priorities, just not sure what. Probably military. 8:45 the music would probably go well with some of todays videos! 😁 9:05 that number is 99.9% now. Not because of computers, though. 10:00 that was peak hours!? Good lord!

Their conviction rate might have something to do with being able to hold a person without formal charges for over three weeks. There are several other differences between the Japanese and American system that would make even the "Law and order/lock 'em all up" crowd freak out.
Christopher Conard Japanese police, prosecutors, said judges are corrupt. The 99% is artificially high. The citizens lack many basic rights compared to the US judicial system.
@@painful-Jay It is just like in the rest of East/South East Asia. Look at Singapore/Malaysia to lead the way, the others aren't much better. But in Western society (Japan somehow belongs to that) not everything is as shiny as it seems if you look under the carpet.
Japan has been skilled at producing technology hardware since the 1970s. However, they have lagged in software development when compared to other countries. While their physical technology products are excellent, their software development is not as comprehensive. It seems that they are too attached to the physical products in which they excel.
🤔 America took responsibility for Japans defense so it focused on technological advancements rather that defense infrastructure. WW2 proved to beneficial for it in long run. All thanks to America.
Ever heard of plaza Accord? America implying Plaza Accord destroyed the Japanese economy. In 1980's it was predicted that Japan Would Surpass the United States Economy. But plaza Accord didn't allow that to happen. And Japan's economy has not grown since more than 30 years because of its effects.
Not to mention they got a ground up reboot with the latest advancements in Operations Research Theory which was STRONGLY resisted and ignored in the US. Look up William Edwards Deming. He's the real creator of all that "the Toyota Way" stuff. Of course the Japanese deny him credit, the ingrates. Look at what Nissan did to Ghosn after he SAVED their company. Same $hit, different generation
I did notice that. Computers certainly *help* the process of controlling aircraft in many ways, but the decisions are still ultimately made and communicated by voice radio, from one human to another. The most significant aids to aircraft navigation remain radar and carefully aimed radio beams.

I was based on a Russian Scientist work.
Japan‘s national universities have a large number of international students from Asia.
After the war,there were 3.2 million Japanese babies.
The number of pure Japanese babies in 2025 will be around 250,000.
Japan has 47 prefectures.
Every year,one prefecture's Japanese population disappears.
Every year,one prefecture of immigrants is created.
Japan is popular with foreigner who want a Japanese passport.
The majority of coming of age ceremonies in Japan are foreigners.

Technology brings not progress, but only an illusion of progress. And the current generation shall gradually realise this, to their horror.
Technological advancements _promise_ human advancement, rather than guaranteeing it.
It is memorizing me 80s in USSR, similar to all that was shown at this video.
Are there any videos on Soviet integrated circuit/microcircuit and semiconductor technology?
Artist / tilte of the music at 7:00, does any one know?
maybe tomita
@@woreno Couldn't find it... yet

A synonym, technology is only equal for Japan in 1980s
I thought the Germans had the first maglev. Wow
Once, everyone believed that japan can out run us in 1980...then
I do remember from about 1989 to 1993, my teachers tryin to motivate us with that. They said "Japan is 10 years in the future. Work harder and catch up."
I liked joking about how for years I was doing what the herbivore men do. Such people would absolutely not be happy about that.
Very good find, Mr. Periscope. I'm surprised Japan was so far advanced back then. I think America had different priorities, just not sure what. Probably military.
8:45 the music would probably go well with some of todays videos! 😁
9:05 that number is 99.9% now. Not because of computers, though.
10:00 that was peak hours!? Good lord! I forgot how sparsely populated the world was back then compared to today. I mean, look at those streets! Nearly empty by todays standards.
13:23 couldn't they have just said 10 m/s?
Their conviction rate might have something to do with being able to hold a person without formal charges for over three weeks. There are several other differences between the Japanese and American system that would make even the "Law and order/lock 'em all up" crowd freak out.
Christopher Conard Japanese police, prosecutors, said judges are corrupt. The 99% is artificially high. The citizens lack many basic rights compared to the US judicial system.
@@painful-Jay It is just like in the rest of East/South East Asia. Look at Singapore/Malaysia to lead the way, the others aren't much better. But in Western society (Japan somehow belongs to that) not everything is as shiny as it seems if you look under the carpet.
It's scary. The story of Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn is an example of how they treat people as guilty until proven innocent.
But they’re using 747s.
I REMEMBER NATIONAL!!!!!

Japan has been skilled at producing technology hardware since the 1970s. However, they have lagged in software development when compared to other countries. While their physical technology products are excellent, their software development is not as comprehensive. It seems that they are too attached to the physical products in which they excel.
🤔 America took responsibility for Japans defense so it focused on technological advancements rather that defense infrastructure. WW2 proved to beneficial for it in long run.
All thanks to America.
Ever heard of plaza Accord? America implying Plaza Accord destroyed the Japanese economy. In 1980's it was predicted that Japan Would Surpass the United States Economy. But plaza Accord didn't allow that to happen. And Japan's economy has not grown since more than 30 years because of its effects.
Not to mention they got a ground up reboot with the latest advancements in Operations Research Theory which was STRONGLY resisted and ignored in the US. Look up William Edwards Deming. He's the real creator of all that "the Toyota Way" stuff. Of course the Japanese deny him credit, the ingrates. Look at what Nissan did to Ghosn after he SAVED their company. Same $hit, different generation

And newspaper front page is balding dictator person :D
9:12
funny.. some countries could've make it until today
UC whoop whoop
Japan had so much promise. Too bad they threw it all away and now mainly concentrate on the production of strange animated fetish pornography.
They had all kinds of odd stuff before then, such as the used panty vending machine.
Lots of errors and over-simplifications. Air traffic control has never been, and never will be "automatic."
I did notice that. Computers certainly *help* the process of controlling aircraft in many ways, but the decisions are still ultimately made and communicated by voice radio, from one human to another. The most significant aids to aircraft navigation remain radar and carefully aimed radio beams.
Now... Samsung in Korea has all. Very big change!
still more advanced than the US in 2020, sad
I got only one thing to say. You have an electric guitar? Forget switchcraft toggle switches. Get a Japanese toggle switch. Or better yet, aircraft quality. Get real. World's better.
"Forced Agriculture" lul
"Riding on a cushion of air..." Wrong. The Japanese built it and an American can't faithfully describe it. That's reassuring.
isnt it nice of the japanese to trap people who are in a room thats on fire to protect the rest of the building..
I tried watching this for a few
but with that crap at the bottom of the screen with your name ruined it so thumbs down
