What I mean is, it's like listening to the Avengers' low-tone-voice trailer while watching old movie's trailer. Selling strategies and phrases that didn't exist in 1949 appeared several times in added audio, and since Japanese society was far more masculine than today, it was impossible for women to be a sales person and yell at streets. I respect those of who have responded to my comment, and I don't care whether you know either Japanese history or culture. However, if original video film was a silent film (or if the original audio had been lost), they could post silent film with bgm as usual, instead of adding daily noise. I cannot understand why the uploader has needed to add inaccurate daily noise. just a soliloquy.

My grandparents went to Japan around this time and I've seen their slides of their trip (and although we all want to be willed the stone lantern they somehow got back to NJ nobody wants the Kabuki doll that thing is scary and probably haunted.) I've always wondered what it actually felt like. That mid-point between the traditional and the modern Westernization and then that mix you see today. For reference: My grandfather was a chemical engineer and his company was setting up a location in Japan so he and my grandmother went there to take a tour of it in the late 50's. I wish I could have asked them more about it.

Some initial footage in the city showed Hibiya but it was hard not to stare into the faces in the chance my grandparents, mom and aunt were filmed. If this was 1949, it was definitely pro stuff. It surprised me not seeing more Allied Occupational Forces. My dad was a Japanese-American who enlisted in the US Army and was stationed there 1947 to 1949 as a sergeant translating at thousands of war crimes tribunals conducted in Quonset huts. Any vehicles shown were operated by military personnel unless contracted.
