"1991 Fireworks, Shinjuku, Takadanobaba, Ginza, Kyobashi, Kyojima, Etc."
This batch of clips begins with a trip back to July 27th, 1991, when I went to Asakusa from Ueno to see the big Sumida-gawa Fireworks Festival. After that are typical views of Shinjuku, Ginza, Yurakucho, the Chuo Line, the Ginza Line, etc., *and* a 2011 visit to Kyojima - which I visited back in 1991 as a rare part of Tokyo that escaped the firebombing of WW-II by virtue of being between two rivers. In 1991, there were still a number of old wooden buildings that pre-dated the war, but this time around, not very many. I was also (slightly) surprised to see a monster high-rise right in the middle of the old two story buildings in the area. It may well end up being made into (yet another) exclusive vertical gated community. Vertical gated communities have their place in the city, but one hopes that some of the old way with street-level open-front shops will continue as well....

"Shinjuku, Ginza, 1992 Melbourne, 1992 Sydney, Chuo Line, Etc."
This batch of 30-frames-a-second pictures with sound include recent Tokyo views (Shinjuku, Ginza, Yurakucho, etc.) and also a couple of looks back - with an April 1992 look at Melbourne, and an April 1992 look at Sydney (the 3rd from that time frame). Also are typical Tokyo train views - including a train change with jogging in Tokyo Station.
