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.

[@corrado]

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.

[@latestorder]

Retro does not describe feeling of reminiscence. It alludes to a stylistic que of a particular era. In Japan also.

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.

東京ビッグサイトやお台場のフジテレビも、もうこの頃にはあったんですね

[@001nakatake7]

個人的には東京ビッグサイトや今のお台場フジテレビ(FCGビル)は共に90年代後半開業なので比較的新しい感覚ですね。例えば新宿のビル群とかだと70年代に立った超高層ビルも多く驚きです。私はこの動画の99年当時17歳の青春時代でしたね。

ようやくお台場が観光地として出来上がり始めた頃ですね

[@user-vu5qd7hm6u]

この頃の東京は街ごとに個性があってクールだった。今も多少は個性あるけど再開発でどの街も似たり寄ったりになってきてるのを感じる😢。利便性だけを求めた街はもれなく冷たいよ。文化も生まれにくいしもうちょっと考えて欲しいね。にしても懐かしい映像をありがとう

当時20代半ばで良く秋葉原などにも通いました。この後ぐらいからですかね、色々ビルも建て替わって行きました。 しかしその前はもっと電気街のイメージが前面に出た街で、アニメやゲームなどはサブカルチャー扱いで影に隠れてこっそり 流行ってた感じでした。そう考えると街の建物が変わりそれにつれて人も趣向も変わり、その街ごとの文化も変わって行きますね。 それはずっと昔から連綿と続いてきた、どの時代をとってもどこかの時代への過渡期であるのだと思います。その時代に生きた 人達が楽しめた、いわば特権的な部分もあるかも知れませんね。一期一会と考えてその時代を楽しみたいものですね！

@@missplainjane3905 A long time ago, there was a big vegetable market in Akihabara. For those who lived in that era, the nostalgia for Akihabara must have been the vegetable market. In any era, there are as many cities as there are people who think of each person. I want to cherish the memories.

It's funny. If I had saw this picture quality 10 years ago I'd be like it looks bad. But now at 29 I'm so nostalgic for the raw VHS look of things. What was normal then is magical now.

[@zydomason]

For me the 90s were always magical, even when I experienced it as a child. Technology made us disconnected from the real world. TK was right.

[@nsdivkaq2663]

90年後半から00年初頭の東京はアホみたいで楽しかったな。渋谷はヒップホップとギャル文化が花開いていて、新宿はそれこそ新宿スワンみたいな光景だった。

[@user-s45c]

よく見る90年頃の映像と違って、バブル期に建設が始まった建物が一通り完成してるから今の東京にかなり近づいたね 渋谷もQFRONTがあるだけで一気に今っぽく見える

Never been to Japan before but this is somehow so nostalgic

[@AZPS_SA]

What nostalgia are you talking about? And you haven't gone to Japan yet.

[@rq4163]

不思議だよな、映像は当時の画質で荒いけど、当時と今はそんなにたいして変わってないんだよ。後10年、20年後に今の映像見たら古く見えるんだろうな。なんだろうこの感覚は

This still looks more futuristic than most of my country today

[@gogosegaga]

Tokyo seems to have plateaued since the late 90s. It still mainly looks like this. But back then it was like looking at the future. I've been there 4 times and last year was my most recrnt it feels very 90s still.

[@shecklesmack9563]

Yeah, that was my thought. Been twice, 2018 and 2022, and in that month and a half-ish total spent there I was a bit surprised at how this video looks quite similar to how it does now, though a lot more digital displays and such. I don't see it as a bad thing because like you say being there it does have some kind of vague 90's feel to it which I personally enjoy.

Imagine visiting Japan in 1999 and seeing this ! Your country would like like the stone age in comparison

[@Zaph_Kiel]

Not far off. I grew up in the bay area (born in 76) and we thought japan was going to take over the f'ng world. In fact, there is a lot of that in 80s/90s cyberpunk.
