    The 80s & 90s in Japan were the pinnacle of contrasts between a country dominated by global corporations like Sony, Sharp & SEGA at the cutting edge of technology, economics & cultural relevance, and a nation still steeped in centuries of tradition and history. It's of course still mostly the same these days with Japan still maintaining its economic and cultural power, but there's something about the late SHowa & early Heisei times that were peak Japan.

At least in appearance! Ps Yurikamome line to Odaiba is a great beautiful part of the video. It's incredible to think that, for example, the Ferris wheel and Venus fort Mall are gone, demolished last year!!Greetings from Italy

    Similarly to the rest of the world, Japan also frequently reminisces about the past. This phenomenon is called "era name + retro" in Japan. It is common to refer to past eras by attaching the respective era names, such as "Showa Retro" or "Heisei Retro". However, "retro" has a slightly different meaning from "nostalgic" and is primarily used in a positive sense.

    I found (while traveling in Japan) that most people there are NOT into retro stuff at all... I would go shopping for things that were maybe 5 years old by then and all my friends would refer to them as "oh that's old" everyone there lives for the moment or for the future, they don't seem to look back... There are some shops that try to play the retro thing, but that's more of a business idea more than anything else... Trends move super fast over there, people get over things real quick. Again this is by my observation and conversations I've had whilst traveling many times in Japan.
