"July 1990, March 1990, Ginza, Nihonbashi, Yurakucho, Keio Line, Izakaya Views, Etc."

There are a fairly large batch of video clips this time, starting with two batches of 1990 views - one batch from March 1990 and the other batch from July 1990.  The July batch is easier to watch, since I had more experience with taking video by then (I began taking video in February 1990) and I had just begun using my second video camera, which was much better than the first one (better exposure control, better night vision, stereo PCM sound, etc.).

2012 video clips are of several train lines - Ginza, Tozai, Chuo, Keio, Seibu, etc., and there are clips of walking through Ginza, Yurakucho, Nihonbashi, etc.  This being summer, I took a few strolls through some open-air (and/or outside) Yurakucho yakitori izakaya places as well.  Also there are some views of art exhibitions - including a very interesting light display by Fuji Hidemasa (藤井秀全) at Lixil Gallery.  What else...  Several views of Yurakucho in the rain and a couple of views from visiting (via cable car) Mt. Takao, etc.

July 1990 Machida to Shinjuku - Odakyu Line (900720)
http://youtu.be/WXAnHO7UxzE

Going back to Shinjuku, I took a regular express.  At the time, I had periodical work in Machida, and I would often splurge on the RC-Express train going there and then come back via a regular express.

July 1990 Shinjuku, Kabukicho, Okubo, Takadanobaba (900720)

Walking from Shinjuku through Kabukicho, Okubo and Takadanobaba - including a look at Okubo House near Shin-Okubo Station.  (新宿 歌舞伎町 大久保高田馬場 大久保ハウス)

If you watch this closely, there are many elements of 1990 Tokyo that have since vanished.

1990 Ikebukuro Night - (900320)
http://youtu.be/E6_JfaOpOrw

This is mostly interesting for the sound track, since I mainly just left the camera running as i walked around (compared to the high volume of short chips style I utilized later).  Taken with my first video camera, it isn't very smooth, and that camera's auto-exposure system was hypersensitive to any kind of light, so florescent tube lit displays, etc. make the picture dark in many places.  All-in-all, I think this has value as a historical record, but be forewarned that it's not particularly easy and/or fun to watch.
