1990 Ikebukuro, Hamamatsucho, Nihonbashi; 1991 Chichibu, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku; 2014 Yurakucho, Ginza, Ryogoku, Etc.

Views from 1990, 1991, and 2014 in this batch of videos.  Lots that should be said, but not much time to say it in.  I suppose the videos can (mostly) speak for themselves, and hopefully the titles are good guides to what's in each one.  No Hollywood style excitement exactly, but lots to see if you pay attention to details.

http://youtu.be/jcTykhLJuVo

The first automatic ticket gates were pre-IC cards and operated by reading magnetic data on the backs of paper tickets.  The machines were very complex and tickets that had been damaged led to malfunctions (rainy days were bad, as some people would put in damp tickets, etc.).  And so it was not an uncommon sight to see them being serviced and/or opened to retrieve someone's stuck ticket, etc.

1991年のとーぶカードを買う Buying a Tobu Ticket Card 910503
http://youtu.be/5D2puGyvZ3Q

This type of card was short-lived.  It could only be used to buy tickets, which you could do from the same machines with cash, so there wasn't much point in buying them really, other than for their value as souvenirs and as a way to (marginally) speed up the process of buying a ticket.  It wasn't long after these came out that they came out with cards that could be used directly in the ticket gates, and then (of course), there was no point in continuing to sell these.

Actually, the best thing about this video is that I was going to press the buzzer button at a window to show how a guy would magically appear and give me change for a Y10,000 bill, but just then an older man pressed the button, and in the style of the (very) old days, asked the guy in the window how much it cost to go somewhere.  The man was basically from another era and probably from another (less automated) area of the country.  It's an excellent demonstration (via the audio track mostly) of how it used to be done.

http://youtu.be/cxqvvSHmlK8

Not sure when this building was built - but it is thought to have been constructed in either the 1920's or 1930's.  Probably the 1930's, as that was when a lot of steel-reinforced concrete buildings similar in design went up.

"Asakusabashi, Ryogoku, Koiwa, Shin-Koiwa, Kameido, Kinshicho, Hirai, Etc."

For this batch of video streams, I focused on the Sobu Line (総武線) stopping at several stations east of Akihabara, from Ryogoku to Koiwa (the last station in Tokyo before crossing over into Chiba).  Two days are involved - the first showing Ryogoku and Koiwa in the afternoon, and the next showing Shinbashi in the early evening (including the twilight zone of the day), and then several nighttime walk-around views out in Koiwa, Shin-Koiwa, Hirai, Kameido, Kinshicho, Etc.  I've written some comments by the individual videos below, but mostly I'm leaving the video titles to speak for themselves.

Ginza, Walking Towards 4-Chome Intersection (Noisy Truck) 121023
http://youtu.be/eiIROtNN1PA

The noisy beep-beep-beep noise is tied in with the truck's turn signal - the idea being that it's safer to blast the air waves with irritating sound every time it turns so people don't get run over... which might be a good idea, but it seems to me it might be a good idea (in the interest of not overly disturbing the sound mix of the area) to turn the turn signal off while sitting there waiting for the light to turn green.

Kyobashi Construction at Night (121023)
http://youtu.be/jku13nO3zOQ

This construction is probably tied in with the high-rise 180-degrees behind the camera angle (not visible in the video).  Since a subway line runs under the street there, they're probably doing the connecting construction that will tie the subway in with the B1 level of the building (easy access to the building when the weather is bad, etc.).

Tobu Line Two-Cab Junction (121024)
http://youtu.be/zxtUVMqyea0

Often long trains that split into two parts for branch lines further down the line have cabs in the middle of the train, where the split takes place.  Also, there are some long trains (10-15 cars) that appear to end up with cabs in the middle just because that was the type of train car available when they made up the train.  In any case, generally a pair of cabs in the  middle of the train forms an internal barrier so you can't walk through the train past that point, but the Tobu-Tojo Line has (some?/all?) trains in which an internal passageway can be formed that leads through the two cabs.  This video shows that type of passageway.

I considered titling this "JR to Hibiya Line Transfer" but the video only begins already halfway to the Hibiya Line and so only shows the exit area of the JR part of the station.  The subway entrance area was under construction for some time - I think this is the first I've seen it since it was extensively renovated.

Looking out a side window while the subway train runs through its tunnel, there's not much to see of course, but I think it's important to record some clips like this to get the *sound* of the train recorded.  Much of the ambiance of places is provided by the sounds there, and they often change a lot with time.

Towards the end of this video, you can hear the emergency buzzer going off (which I have named "ETS" for "Emergency Train Stop" - I'm not sure what the official name is... maybe the same?).  I watched a train come in (recorded in this video) and was about to head down to the exit gates when I noticed the buzzer had gone off, so I turned around to see what was happening.  It turned out (not exactly recorded in the video, although you can hear the voices a little) that two women were accusing an obviously drunk man of having done something wrong on the train.  I figured it would be rude/wrong to stand and watch, so I resumed my original course for the exit gates as the drama was still underway.

There's nothing particularly unique about the individual elements of this video, but I think it captures fairly well a certain feeling/atmosphere of life in Tokyo.  Life here is tied in with the train system, and after finishing work and/or leaving a restaurant/izakaya in the evening, these are the typical sights and sounds you tend to see and hear while walking to the station to head for home for the day.  (Reviewing this video again after writing that, I should say that what I particularly had in mind was the last third of the video, in which I walk under the rail bridge while heading for the station entrance.)
