たった一日の広告にこれだけよくお金かけられたよなあ、JR東日本。力の入れ具合が伝わってくる

[@crsmtph]

Imagine if JR east pulled a april fools...

[@JapaneseHistory]

lol, yes April 1st. JR would have done a trick on the whole of Japan.

[@Mew178]

@@JapaneseHistory Thats some long joke, almost 35 years now.

“Your free trial of privatization has expired. Yours truly, 国鉄”

[@montesa35]

These are actually JNR Commercials before April 1, 1987. JNR Commercials back then were so cool & more informative unlike of JR today

[@JapaneseHistory]

Yes, they seem to have a young fresh feel to them.

[@Auddi52]

Love you forever ……Japan

[@jmstransit]

That young woman should be well into her 50s today, if not, her late 40s.

[@JapaneseHistory]

I thought the same, Juan M. Sanchez. Quite often when I make one of these videos and I find a clear old photo from 80 or 100 years ago, I think all these people are dead or very old. It blows my mind sometimes. As we develop better recording technology it more and more of the present is being preserved in pristine condition. Can you imagine watching a 4K video of today 50 years from now.

[@7coloreddrops]

That's right. The girl first one is 48yrs old woman now. Her name is Gotou Kumiko. And the woman next one is 59 yrs old now. Her name is Kanou Miyuki.

[@Jesuis-qe8ql]

I always thought that the initials "JR" were a unique symbol in Japanese when I saw these commercials on YT between 2005 and 2008, but recently 5 years ago I realized that they mean "Japan Railway" and I was quite surprised that they used acronyms. in English since it is in Japan and has been around for more than 50 years, because assuming it was Japanese I would believe that it is a symbol without any knowledge of English.. 🤯🤣 And I seriously think that these 2 letters were a symbol in just one of what the girl in the commercial does in her hand drawing.

[@MGIC21]

Japanese and American trains will always be my favorite

[@JapaneseHistory]

I like the Marunouchi Line 2000 series.

[@JapaneseHistory]

Yes they are both great. JR really update there fleet on a regular basis. I do like the 2000 series with its heavy black and red interior. It keeps in tradition with the Marunouchi line along with the sine wave. I've never had a chance to ride it since it's introduction. Hopefully in 2022 maybe.

[@Wiratama12]

Even after privatisation JNR and breakup into several region, all these companies still share same ticket reservation system (MARS), some of their railway networks were connected each other and train service were served by two or more JR companies, and basically they were informally work each other. Privatisation of Japanese train operator probably one of few cases in the world were privatisation railway operator were successful almost without any major negative effect from patron they served.

[@sutekina-something]

Translated from Google Why was it privatized? This is the result of Japan National Railways having a debt of 260 billion dollars and becoming a management crisis.

[@JapaneseHistory]

Yes it's the best in the world now. The rest of the world is jealous. In the 2030s more trains will be automated because many people are due to retire.

[@val8730]

And now JR Central got 70% from its operating revenue, the most profitable public transport company and able to fund maglev line without government funding.

[@Oqweisha]

0:01 to 0:09 it’s giving wand ID vibes, iykyk

[@abdullakc]

Good idea

[@JapaneseHistory]

Many many thanks

[@AIDANBC]

Where is JR Hokkaido I am confused on which one

[@JapaneseHistory]

2:48 is Hokkaido i think. I thought I put english subs on this but looks like there gone.

[@achuuuooooosuu]

@@JapaneseHistory That’s Kyushu

[@Charlizzie]

Hokkaido prefecture. The big prefecture. Start of the commercial, or CM, has the people resembling the whole Hokkaido island.

[@JapaneseHistory]

I love Hokkaido and Sapporo. That Shinkansen will be there in 2030.

[@bilalsatria2]

1:48 this is JR Hokkaido commercial

[@JCIBravo]

What are the stations that appears in the JR East countdown?

[@JapaneseHistory]

I don't know. It was like nearly 40 years ago. I was hoping someone out there would be able to identify some.

[@AetherTheGenshin]

Wait. It can't be. It's that her in 1993 City Hunter movie. At first I thought she was from Hong Kong. And she's good at Cantonese.

[@JapaneseHistory]

From Japanese, I think lived in France now with her F1 driver husband

[@peepbmw]

1:48 who is she? So beautiful I really like japan train

[@JapaneseHistory]

peeepbmw, indeed she is. I don't know the answer to your question. Do you know what train station she is at?

[@peepbmw]

JAPANESE HISTORY 101 Sorry i dont know but i guess omiya station

[@crsmtph]

It cant be omiya, The train on the back is the Tokaido Line, But it is not guaranteed. Shonan Shinjuku Line, Utsunomiya Line, Takasaki Line and the Ueno-Tokyo line uses the same color, So it could be Omiya. But It looks like Nippori or Nishi-Nippori. I cannot guarantee. It could be also Shinagawa.

[@mikechiu4734]

I think it cant be Omiya too,since the rail does not bend as we can see in the video.And i think the train on the left is the 103 series on the Keihin-Tohoku Line and the right side would be 205 series on yamamote line. On the other hand, the city landscape doesn't look like the northern side of Tokyo, especially the big building on the back. So I think the location would be so where around Shinagawa and Akihabara.

[@JapaneseHistory]

Great analysis Mike Chiu I was going to say it was in the Yamanote Line Circle somewhere, but can't put my finger on it exactly. 👍

[@andyjay729]

Here's JR's ad for the 19th time Kawaii girls and limp adman's rhymes And Casio music, all synthsized For our rails to be split and privatized. (Spitting Image fans should get this.)
