http://youtu.be/mso0OniCHfk
There's a lot of construction going on at Shibuya Station now, with the current phase being to tear down the overhead station and rails of the section of the Tokyu-Toyoko Line that has been moved underground, and also the demolition of one of the Tokyu Stores. Since the Ginza Line Shibuya Station is actually within that building (the trains come into/through the building at the second floor level), it'll be interesting to see how they handle that.

1992 向ヶ丘遊園モノレール線 Mukogaoka-Yuen Monorail 920531
http://youtu.be/BYG0ox9lqBw
I hadn't realized it at the time, but this train was actually quite interesting technically. While most monorails use rubber tires that run on a concrete strip, this monorail actually ran - true to the name - on a single standard steel rail (with side rails to hold it in place of course) and was designed by Lockheed. If you're interested in trains and their technology at all, the following website explains the history of this interesting train.

1992 武蔵溝ノ口駅-府中本町駅 南武線 Nanbu Line Twilight Window View 920531
http://youtu.be/NiDfPOZ0Ed0
This is one of those videos that I took without any grand plans - I was on the Nanbu Line, a line I don't normally use, so I recorded its progress down the line, looking out in both directions (up and down the platform), at each station. I had been taking video all day, and at this point, I was taking things casually, which is often the best way, since too much effort has a strange way of ruining art....
In any case, watching this now, after so many changes, I really like the atmosphere of the time, enhanced by the video having been taken in the twilight of the day. If you used the JR trains of the time, this could be a real nostalgia trip - it was/is for me in any case.

This is nostalgic - they're about demolish this, apparently in order to make the road straighter (vertically) in order to please joggers in marathons? At least that what I've heard from a few people in discussing why they're removing another interesting part of Ginza. In any case, this is how it looked before they kicked the tenants out. (There's one last tenant there now, but they will soon be gone and the structure will then be razed.)

Half-Empty Floor - Old Department Store 140321
http://youtu.be/O80Liq-ZloI
It was a rather depressing experience to stumble upon this only half-used space in an old department store. It seems to be a sign of the times. The economy has never fully recovered from the bubble years of the late 1980's (along with the transition from Y360/$1 to Y90/$1, which has meant largely moving manufacturing overseas) so it's a decades-long mindset now to forever be looking at how to cut costs. More buying is done on-line now, and only the very cheapest retail establishments survive. Thus formerly exclusive retail buildings increasingly are taken over by discount electronic shops, (Sogo Department Store in Yurakucho becoming a Bic Camera, Mitsukoshi Department Store in Kichijoji becoming a Yodobashi Camera, etc.). Since it's not exactly cheery, I'll refrain from saying exactly where this picture of retail gloom was, other than to say it was outside the central area of Tokyo.
