1990 Nishi-Nippori, 1991 Togoshi-Ginza, 1993 Maebashi, and 2016 Chuo Tokyo Etc.

I would like to make much more regular posts detailing videos, but this type of huge batch after several months seems to be becoming the norm.  So many projects I'd like to be regularly doing and so little time to do them in....
   Well, that's just life I guess.
   About the photographs on this page - some are scenes from the videos, others are a little different, but related, and some are entirely unrelated to the content of the video links they are near, so pay attention to video titles before clicking.

New tower going up next to where the old Sanshin Building was... it looks as though they could have still built the tower without tearing down that very cool old building.  It would have been really cool to still have the Sanshin Building sitting next to the tower...:

By 1993, my analog video cameras were about worn out and out of warranty, so I didn't use them much.  Aside from worrying about completely breaking them, they were occasionally eating tapes, making recording meaningless when tapes were ruined.  So while these 1993 clips are short and jump confusingly from place to place, I personally value them for their rarity - I don't have much material from 1993....

In spite of my comment just up the page about my 1993 material being short and unfocused - this Maebashi trip was in the old style - like the walkabout trips I took in 1991.  Come to think of it - another reason I was taking less in Tokyo was that I started to feel like "I've taken video of this train ride so many times already... what's the point in taking more?" - which was reinforced by not wanting to unnecessarily wear the machines down.

In this quick view by the New South Exit of Shinjuku Station, you can see the big "Shinjuku" sign that I thought was a permanent exhibition, but had been replaced by some silly character thing when I went by there last week.  If I had known they were going to take that away so quickly, I would have properly recorded it....  Oh well, such is life in Perpetual Change Tokyo!

This one is sort of historic I suppose - showing the 1993 MacWorld Exhibition.  I notice it seems to always be referred to as the "MacWorld Expo" these days, but the sign at the venue at the time said "MacWorld Exhibition" spelling the complete word out.  Computers are just an ordinary part of life now, but they were still something fairly novel in 1993:

20-30 years ago, this was a backstreet area frequented by locals, but it's becoming more and more of a theme-park-like tourist attraction, with (at times) most of the customers being tourists getting a dose of a side of Tokyo that is nearly extinct.  Not a criticism, exactly - just a comment on the ravages of time....

This next batch of 1990 videos is similar to the 1993 in one respect - they tend to have gaps where it suddenly jumps to another location.  That's about the only similarity however - in June of 1990, my camera handling was still pretty rough and my reason for skipping things was due to a lack of battery power, not a worry about the equipment breaking.  By 1991, I had bought several new batteries and I would go out with about six spares so I could basically (in a single day) run the camera as much as I wanted without running out of battery power.  (Nickel-cadmium batteries were not very good.  They began losing performance almost immediately, and were much heavier than modern lithium-ion batteries.)
   There is some interesting content in these - particularly some of the nighttime material of local stations on the Seibu-Ikebukuro Line.  The trouble is - the camera work is so wild, and the scenes so varied, that I decided to not even try to post these by detailed locations, but just per day instead.  So each "Wild Camera" video covers one day, June 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th, 1990:

This is house is within a sea of high-rises and new construction - I look at it and wonder what it feels like to be inside - in that setting!  There's sort of a threatening feeling about the huge buildings all around it... I would think the atmosphere even inside would be tense?  Maybe not.  I would be interesting in going inside to see how it feels, but that's very unlikely to happen.  Oh well...:

A little green goes a long way towards making a city a more pleasant place.  I wish more people had a respect for plants...:

I had completely forgotten about this area until seeing this again.  It's interesting in that much of what I found is quite similar to the shitamachi area on the other side of town (rooming houses, small factories, etc.):

Back to 1990 for only three videos, but this first one (Nishi-Nippori Walkabout) is an hour and 43 minutes long!  I spent most of the day wandering around the area, so it contains a lot of details.
