The first several videos in this batch are from 1991 - starting with views of Tateishi, and also a fairly good look at Nippori Station. One video that I spent a bit of time editing, is a nearly one-hour video focusing on the many platform and train views at Tokyo Station - taken on March 30th, 1991. Actually, the platform and train views are mostly in-camera editing, but what I ended up spending time on was including a number of short views of other things I saw *around* Tokyo Station that day, including the Central Post Office and the Marunouchi Building (the previous version of the current building with the same name).
For current views from 2013, there are a series of wide format videos taken out a left-side window of an inbound Chuo Line train, and other views mostly taken either in trains or around train stations. I'm commenting on some of the videos, but many have pretty self-explanatory titles, so I won't comment on those.
1991 - Tateishi Night Stroll 立石駅夜散策散歩 (910324g)
http://youtu.be/0g9wEUMzl8c
Starting with when I get off a train at Tateishi Station, I walk through the manually run (by humans, not machines) ticket gates, and then walk around the area. There's a major (roofed) shopping arcade, and interesting side streets.... I went there not knowing what to expect, and it turned out to be a pretty interesting area. It was kind of late, so things were just winding down with the stores closing up. The atmospheric narrow side streets appeared to have a bit of history behind them, but of course the action was (presumably) inside and I stayed out on the street, walking around, so the streets also have a bit of that late-night lonely feel to them. Also, it was late March, with still cold weather affecting the feel of the streets as well. The approximately fifteen minute video ends after I return to Tateishi Station and board the first of several trains for home.

There are a fair amount of scenes of a busy Saturday at Tokyo station at the end of this one.
1991年東京駅新幹線探検 Tokyo Station Shinkansen Views (910330)
http://youtu.be/zLxto8u4k48
About eight minutes of checking out Shinkansen trains at Tokyo Station. As a terminal station, the trains were all stopped for several minutes after arriving, allowing for cleaning and whatnot, so I had time to walk through some of them and have a look inside.
1991 - Keiyo Line Passageway Etc at Tokyo Station (910330)
http://youtu.be/B_p8TnaUUtk
The extension of the Keiyo Line to Tokyo Station was still new (beginning in 1990), so it was a new area to explore rather than an established one with a long history. In this video, I mention that I'm really tired - I had been walking around Tokyo Station all day recording video, and it was getting pretty late... I think I had been taking video almost non-stop for about twelve hours at this point.

As this area is now completely gone, I edited this part to show as much of it as I could. I explain some about the history of the mysterious brick tunnel/passageway, and have several pictures (taken from the video) in this blog post:

1991 Tokyo Station - Yaesu Side - 東京駅八重洲口 (910330)
http://youtu.be/lN6bEebuLfU
This is a short video, at less than two minutes, but I wanted to show the footage I took on this side of 1991 Tokyo Station, because there have been a lot of changes on this side since this was taken.

http://youtu.be/r8-s7Hr-CXU
A lot of attention has been focused on the many changes on the Marunouchi side of Tokyo Station, but there have been a lot of changes on the Yaesu side as well. In this video, I start on the Yaesu side and walk over to the Marunouchi side.

At a little over 56 minutes, this is a long one. The focus of this particular edit are platform and train scenes, but I also put in a little from the surrounding area, including quick looks at the Central Post Office and the Marunouchi Building, as well as views of the Tokyo Station Art Gallery and the Tokyo Station Hotel.

Shinjuku - Evening Inbound Chuo Line Platform 夕方新宿駅上り中央線ホーム (130402)
http://youtu.be/egbagqdzodU
A quick look around on the inbound Chuo Line platform - which seems surprisingly empty, but since it was the evening, the flow of people was in the outbound direction, which is a completely different platform (not just the other side of the same one, as is typically the case for one train line).

A bit late in the evening, middle of the week, and ahead of the last trains, the platform scene is pretty relaxed.

Nishi-Ogikubo Station Platform Lookaround - Announcements Etc - 西荻窪駅 (130409hdc)
http://youtu.be/-fdiuY-ncjA
The faster versions of the Chuo Line don't stop at Nishi-Ogikubo, which is why they go zooming past in this view. Then the automatic recorded platform announcements (male voice for one direction, and female voice for the other) unusually match up almost perfectly and for a few seconds they are speaking in unison.

Every once-in-a-while, a freight train will stop at a platform like this. Standing right next to one, it's always sort of tempting to climb on, but I don't think I ever will!
