@@aymanemachthat’s exactly my thought, disrespect that man and you might be found with a surprising amount of definitively self inflicted wounds like broken knees ribs and face, did I say might be found?
@@_divi_ for somereason people seem to glorify the past a lot, apparently the newer generations are glorifying 2020 so ig that explains a lot about why he said that it was the golden age, not because japan is not developed more than before rather because he personally likes japan in the 80s hope that helped.
@@_divi_ it's the golden age of Japan because Japan's economy was booming during the post war years. In particular, Japan's economy was at its peak in the 80's and early 90's.
My mum grew up in Japan in the 80’s. Then moved overseas at the beginning of the 90’s. I can understand why she still has such a rose tinted view of Japan
@@HermanWillems yeah I don't get it either. I have some German relatives who live in Canada and they always talk about how wonderful Germany is and how it's the best place to live and how they miss it so much etc. They even insist that their children only speak German at home... its like... then why are you HERE??
@@adararelgnel2695 that’s just nostalgia about their country. When you left your country, the nostalgia hits and you start to idealize everything about your country. you don’t understand it because probably you’re not an immigrant. I have been 20 years away from where I’m from (Puerto Rico) and I’m still miss it, and every time I speak about Puerto Rico, I speak wonders about my island. That’s were my family is, my roots are there. My childhood memories are there. And about the language, its important for us immigrants to teach our kids their parent’s language otherwise how will they communicate with their family back there? How will they communicate with their grandparents if they don’t speak German??? We do the same at home, we talk only Spanish at home. That’s the only way our kids can be bilingual. If they don’t practice at home, they will eventually forget the language. That’s how bilingualism works, you have to practice it.
Just take solace in the fact that it’s a complete lie. This is like in 40 years of someone only showed the bud light football commercials that air now and said “this was the 2020s”
Younger generations will never understand how beautiful the 80s and 90s were. It was very simple, with adequate amount of technology that gave us a lot of time to experience life, and colorful outfits. Good times ya'll....good times.
The beauty of it was that it wasn't a flash-in-the-pan. The aesthetic of the 80s and 90s was a gradual transition that morphed them together. Trends now a days (2010+) are very stark and short.
@@GOE-AMAGI I'm sorry if I'm wrong (I only use translate to understand your comment) but are you saying the Bubble era is bad? And if yes, why? Everybody around me keeps saying that it's a good era, so I'm curious about Japanese people's perspective.
My brother was stationed in Okinawa in 89. He would send us all kinds of electronics, and movies. Introduced us to dragon ball with super android 13, fun times. There will never be another time like the 80’s/90’s era. The 2 things that has changed the world for the worse was 911 which made people very paranoid, and social media which took away any human interaction.
@RabidWildCreature yes because its the primary way to stay connected these days. We can acknowledge problems with society while hypocritically demonstrating why it's a problem.
I would say banks lending practices have been more influential in today’s society than social media. In the early 90s Japan suffered a massive recession similar to 2008 in the U.S
It might be that you saw a bunch of pictures of your parents from back then and you're remembering them. I'm just saying that because this reminds me of my parents
Я тоже почему-то это почувствовал, мне почему-то кажется не только в Японии было хорошо в это время. Кажется даже в Северной Корее люди лучше жили, чем сейчас
@@prostreyd It seems to me that way, music, films of those years, fashion and much more show that it was cool. It was clear that people were more real, more friendly and alive
Thinking that these people might've been grew up or even they might not be in this world anymore is ironic and gives me chills and Idk why.... Time flies 😢
@@Heheheheidk we’re in the most dangerous generation. we’re very close to world war than ever before.. Gen Z are in very bad situation.. we are facing one of the most dangerous threats in human history infact..
@@TAKA-rw2bz you’re really lucky to have enjoyed those times, I could only imagine how fun it was to live during those times of beautiful music and trends 💜
@@angelicart.6 さん Maybe it's because the time has passed that it feels beautiful. The future we are about to see may be even more wonderful than we expected.
You know after Blue LED invented in 1989 by Shuji Nakamura, japan went all out and advanced their technology so much! truly 80s is Golden era for japan.
Japan was and still is a wonderful country because they respect and persist on their own culture. Regardless of the ever-changing economy, I can still see the beauty of the 80's Japan in the country, the quality of the people and it's culture are timeless.
Maybe you did in your past life. I was born in 91 but every time I see pictures in the 50's or 60's, I can't help but feel nostalgia. I still occasionally listen to music from that time
He's an actor Hiroshi Tachi who is in his 70s and still popular here in Japan. Check out his latest film Abunai Deka 2024. The film title means Dangerous Cop! 😂
@@hey_you.She had also distanced herself from family and friends and regretted making the song because she felt as if her career had took time away from spending it with her loved ones and didn’t believe it had any impact on the world she died at 44 from cancer😭
Absolutely. People always think the era of their own youth was the brightest, happiest time. It’s just the human condition to be nostalgic and romanize the past.
@@carolyntalbot947 Not really in this case. Japan was doing incredibly well in the 80s, then it crashed in the 90s. People were legitimately predicting they'd dominate the world economy. Also most people romanticizing this weren't even born yet, so that's not accurate either. And not everyone has a good youth to think it was a good time, lol.
@@LordVader1094 Japan first acknowledged the existence of Unit 731 in the 80s, they still didn't apologise though. People have always been as flawed as they are now, regardless of nationality and date of birth. In fact, even more so because prejudices were even more prevalent then.
@@gabrielam.7681so? Those things have nothing to do with the fact that this was the modern golden age of Japan. Prejudices back then? Grow up. Most first world countries were much better back then.
No meu país, a era de ouro do Japão foi exatamente os anos 80. A impressão que tínhamos era de que o Japão era a única potência tecnológica do planeta. Praticamente todos os produtos eram japoneses. Agora, de 20 anos para cá, a grande maioria dos produtos comercializados no meu país são chineses ou do sudeste asiático.
My father had a friend who was a huge fan of travelling in Asia and went in Japan in the 80s. Apparently, what he described to anyone was the future and he even came back with a wireless phone that blew everyone's mind.
This! We did get cosmetic surgery back then but it was nowhere near the quantity you see people getting cosmetic surgery now. And it was mostly a Westcoast American thing. But I agree that people did look better before it was as common. More variety of facial features and harmonies. Lovely!
or, hear me out, this is a very limited and highly curated representation of what people looked like lol. you could say the same about the modern day if you exclusively picked photos of people that look effortlessly beautiful. you could also say we all look like inflatable rubber dolls if you spend too much time on tiktok/instagram, but that's not true either. it's all about sample size. most people have always just looked like people, i don't think the baseline really changes much
@@hunterv9259it seems to me that a lot people are getting plastic/ cosmetic surgery. It's way more popular now then it was back than. I don't have tik tok or instagram, but a lot of people do look like blow up dolls. 😆 it was just nice seeing people look natural and put together.
