    I'm almost 65 now. I lived in Tokyo in 64-67 and then again in the 70's from the age of 13. It was a fantastic place to live especially as a kid and later as a teenager. So much in this video looks and feels so familiar! It was honestly the experience of a lifetime and I'm so glad I got to do it. Even now, I sometimes go on googlemaps and use street view to cruise through the areas I was familiar with- many have changed almost beyond recognition whereas others have remained exactly the same.
    I guess one thing I liked so much was the absolute freedom I had as a kid/teenager. One example was being able to go to any English language movie I wanted- there was no such thing as being stopped due to an R rating for example. Also, as a teen, I could walk into a restaurant, order a meal and even have a mixed drink with it. Those are just two simple examples which relate to the freedom I felt. By contrast, before I went back in the 70's, I was in the USA and everything was so controlled that it felt oppressive and suffocating by comparison. Also, in Japan, we could ride our bikes anywhere and there was always something new, exciting and interesting to discover around every corner. When I was in the USA, my brother and I just threw our bicycles down and never rode them again because we had no place really to go and everything was so far away in any case. It was so boring by comparison! Additionally, in Japan, it was safe for us to go anywhere on our bikes without any worries whatsoever and we would spend hours and hours just riding around even many miles from home. If we chose to ride the trains instead and got lost, it was not uncommon for someone to get on a train with us and ride with us all the way back to our home station even if that meant they went an hour out of their way to do it just to be sure we got home safely. Yes, the people were that nice!

      @@routiesero5632 True. Where I lived as a kid in the USA, the city was not very large and had little to offer. Much larger cities would have been much better. I remember my dad one time demanding to know where I was going as I went out the back door of the house. I was irritated/frustrated and gestured at the scene out the back door and said, "Take a look. Where the hell is there to go in this boring place?!?" There was nothing in the surrounding area of interest and, even miles away, it was dull as dirt compared to Tokyo.
      The local kids had bikes but weren't allowed to ride on the main street as it was too dangerous and there was nowhere to really go in any case. So, they rode their bikes up and down our dead end street back and forth, back and forth like caged animals at the zoo pacing in their cages and going crazy from the tedium. If I'd had to stay there any longer than I did, I would have gone completely and irrevocably insane. Lol.

Japan’s army may have done atrocity, but so did the whole world during that time, but when America dropped 2 nuclear bombs at the end of the war, japan lost 220,000 innocent people. I also read America originally aimed to drop the bomb on Kyoto but the US secretary of war stopped it from happening because he and his wife spent their vacation there before. It is crazy to think.

      Showa era was so beautiful. People could be optimistic about their future, and believe that their efforts would be rewarded if they worked hard. Life might be poor by today`s standard, but people were happy. Our life is far better than we wished in 1960`s, but young Japanese people could not have bright view about their future, and feel pessimistic about their life. Happiness does not depends upon wealth but how we can have bright hope about tomorrow. If tomorrow is better than today, we could be happy even if our life is frugal.

      You are right. I was in Japan since 1953, just went back in 2019 for like 10th times. Taxi drivers there even wear white gloves to welcome the passenger with courtesy. Many of the drivers are 50s or 60 years old men. They wear company uniform and just about all the taxis have the automatic doors as well. And the seats are always kept clean and usually comes with white seat cover. It's like a night and day compared to the dirty, unsanitary taxis in the U.S. as most of the time they don't even wash the vehicle on regular basis so you can see the dirt outside. Inside is just filthy, not even a seat cover. Driver's don't even wear company uniform, that shows he has no pride in what he is doing. Japanese taxi drivers are very respectable also and above all, safe. In the U.S., a person can get mugged or even killed as they carry pistols. It's like riding a subways in the U.S., just about same thing.

      It really disgusts me when I see people talking about the US like just because you're from there you have some link and obligation with the US governments history of war and crimes around the world. The US Federal government is one of the biggest war criminals in modern history, only behind communism
      I'm myself from the US but I despise the US Federal government and the sheep that defend their crimes. I know it doesn't mean much but I just want japanese people to know that a lot of America inhabitants hate what the US government did, the atomic bombs and all other crimes, and their policy of denial of war crimes.

    why isn't it possible to go on a journey to every country at every time that passed to feel what living like this was..like traveling to japan's 60-70-80s etc or traveling to my childhood recapping every memory and live it again
