The economy was going relatively well compared to today (not as well as between the 50s the 80s tho), the gaming industry was booming due to new exciting releases, and the best 21st century anime series were from this time. I suppose that both the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami that hit the Tohoku (Northeast) area of Japan and COVID had serious impact on the country and originated many economic and logistical issues. There have also been low marriage and birth rates and psychological issues on the youth due to isolation (for a country that was already known for a very comparatively shy and reserved society)
I grew up during that era. The vibe was different back then. Everything felt more chilled out and care free. People's views weren't shaped by social media algorithms.

Tokyo in 2005, huh? My mind immediately jumped to Yakuza 1 / Yakuza Kiwami 1, especially after I saw this 2:28. It's cool to see how faithful Kabukicho was recreated in both versions. Also, I didn't know "Pronto" was a real cafe store.
Nice one! The first time I was there in April 2004 I had no clue and booked a hotel deep in Kabuchichō with zero knowledge that it was the "entertainment" district. Hilarious! 🙂
yet Japan is the only country in the world, who is ahead of the world but stuck in time. Let's be honest, Japan is not as good as people make it out to be in the 1990s/2000s
I visited Japan for 3 months from Janurary to April this year. Being in Tokyo a lot, it's incredible to see how it's changed over the years. It's the same place - just advanced in a way. I wish I was able to experience it back then, too.
The 2000s: The last decade when people used to enjoy the simplicities of life, when human connections still mattered more than Facebook, and when 'TikTok' used to be a song and not cringy braincell-destroying videos
The first thing that gives it away this isn't modern times are the cars and their designs. If you just look at these clips real quick, it's not like it's noticibily older footage, unlike if it was footage from the 90s, 80s, or older.
Thank you for uploading this. In middle schools my school library had these really old textbooks about Japan and it have pictures from the 90s to early 2000 of Japan so I always wanted to see what it was like during those times.
There's something so captivating about 90s and 00s Japan that I can't explain. It's just hard to compare to any other city. Today there's tons of cities like Tokyo but back then it wasn't so. I feel a similar way about NYC.
Always wanted to visited the forgotten or dark era of Japan in the late 90s-2009. I wasnt born for like half of yet. When I did start getting into Japan. It was 2010, learning and seeing pictures from this era made me wanna go
really beautiful shots, and what an amazing footage that takes you back in time. This was really nostalgic to watch too, considering all of this was from before smartphones happened. crazy to see how much things changed in almost 2 decades.
From 2016 to 2020 I was travelling to Japan many times. And I loved to go to Shinjuku I can see it hasn't changed too much since the time the video was recorded🧐🧐
Gosto de ver essa época do início dos anos 2000 como uma era de transição, uma era que conectou o passado com os novos avanços do futuro. São tempos que provavelmente ficarão marcados na memória de quem viveu a época.
Verdade, o mundo mudou muito em pouco tempo. Infelizmente esse mundo pré internet,celular e conectividade no geral vai ficar só na memória de quem viveu. mesmo.
@@v1ped Well the very first thing caught my attention is that my native language(obviously not japanese) was barely - or nowhere around - in 2005, but I could easily see and hear around even from the airport in 2018, ofc around various places too. That's already a huge difference imo Other obvious things are, maybe, the usual differences between pre-smartphone age & modern times? btw my 2018 visit was in late spring time and 2005 visit was almost during the end of the year.(I even got the fortune to see those 00s-style new year special stuff on hotel TV) I guess seasonal differences count too
I'm pleased that you noticed! Yes, I purchased the first consumer HD camcorder, a SONY HDR-FX1 to take to Japan that year. There can't be very much non-pro HD video footage of Japan before mine.
I'm really glad you wanted a while to upload this because UA-cam was known for being EXTEREMELY lossy back then. Anyhow, it's nice (and nostalgic) to see what else was going on in the world while I was a newborn.
This is an incredible video, thank you. I liked it so much you inspired me to make a very similar style video, I hope you don't mind. I wonder 20 or so years in the future now if we will look back on the past the same way we do today, so that is why I did it.
Thank you very much for your kind words; greatly appreciated. It might interest you to know that unlike most of my videos posted here there was no post editing for this one. It's exactly as it left my camera and I remember, particularly with the signage, thinking about the sequence as I recorded that night. You MUST record current events; people WILL be interested in the future by things we think currently very normal. Imagine if we had video of a Tudor or Roman street scene; dynamite!
love ur hardwork , i hope u have time machine and traveling around 80's-90's to take the footage and bringback to us. thx and goodluck for ur traveling andd be carefull to time looping and ur self on the past. Peace~
This is just shy of a month after I'd gone up to Akita as a high school exchange student. I believe it was on March 18 and 19 that we (about 800 students from around the world) had our orientation before parting ways to go as 4 separate groups via Shinkansen to our respective regions, excepting the students who would be staying in Tokyo and Chiba. For those of us heading elsewhere, the extent of our Tokyo experience would be the view from bus windows, plus one chaperoned walk from the campus to a convenience store. It's interesting seeing a glimpse of Tokyo so close too that time, particularly the more bustling areas. Perhaps the Tokyo we would have seen up close if we'd had a little more time and freedom... But I'm glad shortly after I'd get to see a much smaller metropolis that much fewer foreigners ever experience, that of Sendai during their massive Sansa festival. 🎉 Thanks for sharing! 😊
It’s amazing to see how Japan hasn’t aged a bit. Very modern looking then, and still very modern looking(with the exception of their population that is)
I'm probably misunderstanding your point but CRT was not involved in any part of the video chain. The source is a digital signal stored on tape. Just for the record: CRT did/does not have per pixel dimming; the scan lines are extremely inefficient at achieving black levels.
Camcorder quality was JUST this good in 2005. The SONY FX-1 had just been released as their flagship prosumer model. The Japanese were using 1080 pro cameras for broadcast for 2 or 3 years but for consumer use this was the first couple of months.
