Oh my, so nostalgic. I used to work and live there in Nakano during 90's. It reminds me of my young days. Thank you so much for uploading this video. I really enjoyed watching.
Thanks for recording this video and uploading this, this is something what Nakanoan are willing to playback. This video reminds me a lot of memories when I was young, I bet most of other Nakanoans are feeling same thing. Thanks again.
Some people were relaxing on the roof of an building，some were at a rental VHS video shop, a book shop and CD shop. It was really good old days. At this time, I was so yang, I was straggling and working hard every days same like those who are on this video. Your video makes me back to this time and rethink about how to live or we must be. Thank you : )
I love to see your many contents on RU-vid. Here we can see lots of our lost world during the time more than decade. Your contents is precious for all of lives in Tokyo because of describing common citizens live! Fully admiring your field work, but why you filmed so many various sceneries of 90’ Tokyo? Am looking forward to see you on TV as some program may invite you lol
I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of scenes from the past, particularly Nakano Sun Mall as it looked back then. Many of the images would also work great as still photos! (22:33, for example)
Thanks for the feedback. I came to moving pictures from still photography and so that was actually how I took the videos - I thought of it was going from one picture to another, something I call a "moving slide show".
Sorry for the comment. My name is Shopping Street Sanpo. I've been walking around shopping streets all over Japan and uploading explanatory videos to RU-vid. However, I didn't know how to search for it at the moment, so I was watching RU-vid and found this video by "Lyle Hiroshi Saxon". I apologize for the sudden request, but would it be possible to introduce this video of "Lyle Hiroshi Saxon" on my channel? I would like to send it as a video historical heritage. I would be very grateful if you could let me know the details again. sorry for the sudden Thank you very much.
Great nostalgic videos. Thanks. Did you check paper maps before exploring? Or did you just get off a train and head in a general direction of your destination?
For Tokyo I had a multi-page paper map of all of Tokyo I always carried (and I bought maps at bookstores near stations I went to outside of Tokyo). The process basically went like this: 1) Look at map at home the day before and pick a starting point and a direction - and plan to return home via another train line after walking through the distance between the starting station and a station on a parallel line. 2) The next day, go to the starting station and set off in the direction I had decided. 3) Since the goal was to try to record anything interesting I came across, I just walked where it seemed interesting. 4) As it began getting dark, I would start to think about how to get home and discover I was was nowhere near my planned return station, so I would consult the map (or ask someone) where the nearest station was and head there for the return trip. So the starting point was nearly always planned in advance, but where I ended up was a result of just walking where it seemed interesting.
