1992 雪の新宿 Snowy Shinjuku 920201
http://youtu.be/5rGoZ5MXfew
Coincidentally, as I edited this video of snow in February 1992, there was snow falling in February 2014. Just a normal thing for areas that always get snow, but Tokyo tends to get very little snow, so each time there's enough of a snowstorm to actually leave some snow on the grown for a few days, it's a bit of an event.

These views of Shimokitazawa have come to look historical, now that they've moved the Odakyu Line underground and only the Inokashira Line remains on the surface.

1992 Chuo Line Night Train Trouble 中央線夜電車のトラベル 920208
http://youtu.be/i_MH_X-cLIE
The trains usually run on time, but things go wrong from time to time. On the evening of February 8th, 1992, something went wrong on the Chuo Line and people ended up waiting a long time on platforms for the trains to get going again. Since this was before general cell phone ownership, there were long lines to use public phones on the platform.

http://youtu.be/MCbkyxA7wyI
Before they decided on the name "Oedo Line", they opened it with just four stations under the name Toei Number-12 Line. It was a squeaky-new thing when I took this video and technically interesting since it uses linear motors.

1992年 小岩駅から歩き出す 瑞江駅まで Walking - Koiwa Station to Mizue Station 920222
http://youtu.be/OL2NuKR-fF0
Not exciting at all, but this shows a side of Tokyo not typically seen by tourists - and in fact I was asked by a couple of people what I was taking video of. From the expression on their faces, it was clear they were puzzled at the appearance of what looked like a foreign tourist with camera in hand walking around taking pictures. If they had seen me at a tourist spot (temples, etc.) they wouldn't have thought anything of it, but I don't think they could imagine any reason for taking pictures of an ordinary part of the city. From my standpoint, it was exactly the ordinary things that I was interested in recording - to make an accurate record of what it's like to live in Tokyo.

1992 堀隣のジャングル Jungle Area by Moat in Tokyo 920324
http://youtu.be/S8eFijH6Nx4
This is interesting in that this area has been blocked off for many years now, so if you've seen the stairs leading down the side of the moat and wondered what was down there, this is a way to find out. Presumably they decided it was too much trouble to maintain and/or it was thought to be dangerous and/or people started using the lower area as a campground... and so they closed it off.

There's nothing particularly interesting about this short clip of me doing several takes of a short introduction of the video footage I took of the old shotengai in Sugamo (the "Obasan-no-Harajuku" street), but I thought the process of it was slightly interesting in a historical sense, so I posted it.

1992 Great Barrier Reef via Tropic Sunseeker Catamaran (Cairns) 920419
http://youtu.be/ykO8QIonoMo
The quick catamaran ride out to the Great Barrier Reef is one of my fonder vacation memories, so I was happy to read that the owner of the "Tropic Sunseeker" boat I rode on in the video (Sunlover Reef Cruises) has refurbished it and it's still in service. Reading about it on-line, it appears to be the same tour that I enjoyed taking in 1992, so here's the link to their website:

Well - so much for this batch.
