懐かしい! I was in elementary or junior high school then. It was so special for me to hang around Ikebukuro or Shibuya. So many nostalgical sight such as ticket chechers, a ticket vending machine with a lot of round buttons... I love this video. Thanks a lot!!!
wow.... I was a kid when u originally shot this, but the musical selection is SO CHOICE! This brings back memories. Thanks so much for posting!
Despite my 'whitebread' appearance, I went to a high school that was VERY diverse and therefore listened to everything from old school hip hop, to new wave, to hard rock. It was a great environment, and I still have very eclectic tastes because of it. Thanks for watching Jason.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Yes, the 80s were good times for me - this time in Japan especially!
yeah, i spent a lot of time roaming around Ikebukuro because i was staying in Saitama back then and it was the terminus of the Tobu Tojo Line that I used. The Sunshine 60 building was a big deal back then.
Interesting Fact: In the early to mid Eighties, Japan was obsessed with Paul Newman. The blond hair, the blue eyes, and chiseled features were all considered very handsome. There was even a "Paul Newman" edition of the Nissan Skyline!
Awesome. I was in Japan at that time too. It was a different world in many ways.
It's only a matter of time when 80s fashions make a comeback! Thanks for watching.
I love 80s fashion :3 This videos reminds me of the Anime City Hunter, which is no surprise because 1987 was the year it was released :)

Which of the persons in the movie is you ? Are you the one with the sunglasses? 🙂
Hey, I'm glad you liked the vids. I think I have enough footage to do a couple of more uploads. Stay tuned.
Once again, another great video. Can't wait to see pt. 2.
Vlogging in the analog era! This was ahead of its time.
Yes, I remember how some were very good and FAST. And you are right, some guys could twirl those clippers around like a 'six-shooter'!! Thanks for watching.
This is SO totally sweet. I'm really into the Japan of the '80s, and didn't think someone'd have videos like this of their time there from back then! THANKS! also, this'd be the year Ranma was first released ^^;
I was born in 80s so i really didn't enjoy that years but something inside me makes me love them! Thank you for posting these videos.
never been to japan yet but i would have ;love too go oto jaoan especially back then just like i tell people about how new york was back in the 80s 3 years later in 1990 i had 2 japanese kids stay with us for little league babeball league and they came from overseas thats the closest we ever been jaopan wise thank you
so good!
These videos are incredible
Thanks!! Appreciate the comment.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
懐かしい。今に比べて服の色デザインがシンプル。夏はTシャツかポロシャツが多かった。
Love your stuff !!! Subscribed !!!
I recognise this is underground of Shinjuku station.i had benn working there for a few years. wow...it makes me cry...a swich board or ticket vender machine? it is awesome. Switch is round shape...I know its ridicurous to get excited about. But i cant help it..
sorry to keep you waiting. i think there will be a couple more, i just haven't had the opportunity to edit them up yet.... 'must have patience, Grasshopper'!
OMG they have to physically take each ticket. Those machines they have today accept the ticket before the gate and quickly dispense it at the opposite side while opening the gate. Also noticed the same announcement "watch out beyond the yellow line". Abunai desu kara kiiroi sen kara denaide kudasai. あぶない です から きいろい せん でないで 下さい。
You know, I hadn't paid attention to that PC ad. Nice catch!
Vloggin back in the days of 80s ! rad !
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
OMG so much history, From the original beer can tabs to Mike Tyson's boxing record. Love the vids.
Wow this is awesome
Haha,the newspaper helped me place the time a bit, but then to see the ojisan clipping the tickets at the turnstyles.... HOLY CRAP! The mind boggles to think that this was how tickets were done for the whole yamanote line. Great vid, can't wait for more dude. Peace
I'm glad you are enjoying the videos.
WOW! Ikebukuro station back in the day. As that is my hood, that is a total trip for me. Love this series. The ticket machine /gates are the biggest difference. Some of the signage is different, but alot is the same. The news stand and the uniforms however havent changed a bit it seems. The headlines were really trippy for me as well. Awesome.
Thank God for the electronic turnstyles. It really has speeded things up at the gates - another thing that has changed since then.
THX!! Sounds like a tune from the 80's
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!
I wasn't even born then but the music is hilariously great. the video is golden too.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the vids!
also love the nostalgic old school hiphop in your vids aswell

Thanks. The songs were chosen to reflect the music I was listening to back then
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. More to come.
Thanks for entertaining us last week! It was fun and a pleasure to meet you. BTW, I think you are much too young for us to have crossed paths back in the 80s!! But take a look, maybe you are in there somewhere... ;-)
I always love your background music! "Hey DJ" brought back some awesome memories. I must admit though that you don't look the type that would normally listen to that type of music. Shows how first impressions can be totally wrong. Thanks again for sharing! btw, LOL @ the 80's wear "Daisy Dukes!" You guys were stylin' and profilin' back in the day! :o) Take care!
Wow! You were Youtubing before there was a KZread! I spotted Santa strolling thru Ikebukuro Station last week
The JR ticket machines are EXACTLY the same. Wow. Heading to Tokyo in a couple weeks. Been there before, as well as Hiroshima and Fukuoka. But it seems like it's a pale shade of what it was in the 80's. Wish I had a time machine!
@TheChallenger1980 - I'm glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for watching!
I noticed that the news stand was selling copies of PlayBoy & Penthouse....LOL. Also, since the video cameras where bigger back then, I'd assume the pedestrians around you would have really noticed that someone was filming. I noticed that guy was punching everyone's tickets. Did someone also punch that same ticket again when exiting the station or was that handled by a machine with the flaps that opened when the train ticket was inserted? Thanks.
OMG, its so weird to see the train stations without the automatic ticket gates! A guy was actually standing there punching tickets.
なつかしい・・・。(Ah, good times・・・)
Wow, good and old ticket clippers. Did you notice some of them had as marvelous tricks with their scissors as fast shooter in the western movies.
Whoah... back before automatic turnstiles. Trippy. Now it's all Suica(Toica in the Nagoya area) and Pasmo.
WOW! were those *rubs eyes* PULL TABS!?!?!?!? As if the newspaper wasn't enough to date this vid...And did you notice the giant clunking desktop computer being advertised on the platform!? Wow, thanks for this stroll down memory lane, even though I was only a freshman in HS at the time...
Sounds good! :)
Great🙂👍
Yes, it was. And yet, many things in Japan haven't really changed at all.
Good, recently got a scooter and been exploring more and more of my city, really fcukin fun ;D
Jason, you need to find that tape and get it converted! I had a friend convert it from VHS to DVD and he also gave it to me in a DV format which I loaded onto my computer. If you don't know anyone, there are still places here that'll convert vhs to dvd and you can transfer from dvd to your computer with some free online software. I would love to see the old video!
No Suica cards back then! Not even automated ticket gates. Wow.
Can you imagine clipping tickets all day for a living?!
おーwwこの券売機懐かしいなー!
Another classic man ;) 本当にありがとう先輩 ;)
Hey Slick, yes our camera was BIG so there was no hiding the fact that we were filming! And back then when you exited the station you left the ticket with the attendant, who then had to instantly recognize where you came from and whether you paid the proper fare (both written on the ticket)! Talk about a tough job!
1980s japan is 2020s japan with no smartphone
切符うりばの機械初めて見た! 自分が生まれる一年前です。
heh@ the playboys and penthouses just in plain sight when u got the newspaper :3
Hey, thanks. Hopefully you'll enjoy the other too.
I can imagine it being more relaxing than a whole lot of other jobs out there. Wonder what all the old ticket clippers did after automatic turnstiles came into play?
Thanks maverick. Give me some time to get part 2 up. It's hard for me to find time to edit these, although I enjoy doing it.
cool vid! I'm digging the Ray Bans! I miss my pair from the 80s. I graduated from HS in '87 and for graduation took a trip to England and had the BIG VHS camera - I need to look at that footage again. How did you get your 80s footage on your computer?
Interesting early time capsule - what year was this taken? 1988 maybe? ("Hana, Sukova stop Canada" is from the 1988 Olympics maybe?)
@Usagi1pyon Glad you enjoy them!
Double nostalgia! ç___ç As born on the early 80s and as been in tokyo long enough to leave my heart there ... So weird not seen girls with coell phones attacched as decoration for cell straps, ehhhhhm, no cell phones decorated with cell straps, cough Aaaawwww, can't wait to go back there ç____ç
If only I could've predicted it... Boy, Santa's everywhere isn't he?!!
The school uniforms of the young ladys look like from sailor moon😁
does anyone know what the background music is called???
当時の東京は自動改札機がまだなかったが大阪では普通にあったわ…

関目高殿 新幹線ホームは有ったと思うけど山手線1987年時点でまだないのに今更ながら驚いたよ(笑) だってつくば科学博より後なんだからね。意外だった。
BTW, does anyone know what's the name of this song in the video?
Thanks Nozo! How's the family doing?
Thanks Sam. How's life in the 'burbs?
この電車はインドネシアに譲渡されて今でも走っているよ。205系電車は今でも世界で通用する利便性と効率性を持っている。
Does anyone know the track title starting from 1:18???

Hey DJ - The worlds famous supreme team
Are there going to be anymore 80's Japan videos? It has been way too long and I need my fix. :)
東京は自動改札の導入遅かったもんな しかし切符は自動改札対応の切符にはなってる
階段脇の黒地に路線カラーを入れた三角型の番線案内、複数の線が乗り入れる駅や主要駅に必ずあったな。4、5年前に水道橋駅から撤去されてから見なくなった!東京駅の水色、黄緑、オレンジ地で数字の部分が白の個体などシンプルで良かった!他の方も書いているけど、JR の駅施設はまだまだ外国人やお年寄り、体の不自由な方には優しくない構造だな❗
ちょうど103系から205系への置き換えが進んでいた時期ですね
I thought this was a recent video. Your webcam and microphone at the start is too high definition lol.
hey! awesome videos!! can you please put the name of the songs that you play in the videos?? thanks!! from Argentina
券売機、こっちの方が良かった。いまはお釣りと切符🎫の出口が別々だったり、面倒。 切符切りの駅員さん居た方が和む。 老人も子供も声かけやすいしね。 やっぱり昔は良かったという結論になってしまうけど。
Great scotch!!
2:33 look at the soviet news
When they all have black hair.
No more Nampa aye.....hage yarou hahahahahaah
The capitalist world in the 80's were the best.
公共交通機関の外国語表記が見当たらないね。
