yes, they had moritaka chisato in her prime

80's Japan has a very nice aesthetic.

>>14368371
Her legs are so perfect that there are tears welling up in my eyes.
Simply gorgeous...

>>14368371
ayy i was just listening to her.

why are 80s idols so much more better than modern ones?

The live performances are so much more fun to watch.

>>14371031
the management had full control over everything they did, even privately. management totally molded every part if their image even if it wasn't true. a lot of the idol marriages were arranged by management. todays idols are on too loose of a leash (mostly because of the recent laws concerning under age management).

>>14368287
Generally speaking, yes. It really looked like they'd take over the world after all, not trough war but by their sheer economic might. People in America and elsewhere even started learning Japanese because it was "the language of the future" just like people say about Mandarin now.

imo yes it had a shit ton of dank aesthetics also goes with USA

i wish vaporwave would leave with their A E S T H E T I C meme shit.

>>14368287
Of course. Bubble economy, rising salaries, decadent parties, funny technical gadets, stagnating economy in Europe and USA who looked up to the unbeatable Japanese companies, Japan-bashing, everyone thought the next century is going to be the Japanese century. Well as a European I'm glad that Europe recoverd, though (okay it went downhill since the Euro-crisis).

>>14373941
>(okay it went downhill since the Euro-crisis)
Funningly, as a fellow european I can confirm that since the introduction of the Euro as in currency and unity the entire sturcture is falling apart.
America is not doing really well either!
Asia may very well rise again soon. Probably not China as they seem to struggle at times aswell today... you never know.

Ontopic: I love the 80's and japanese 80's aswell! In my head I am still stuck in the past I guess.

>>14374096
America is doing just fine, well the areas around DC, the only ones that matter

>>14368287
Everything was better in the 80's.

I get the feeling it was filled with the relentless optimism that defined the 50's here in the US (and a lesser extent the 90's) with the sky as the limit and the Japanese machine marching on with no end in sight.
All things end, eventually.

>>14368287

Where in the first world were the 80's not a batter time?

City Pop is my jam. Amazing shit.

Does anyone know where I can get more 80's city pop/j-rock? I have a hard time finding it.

>>14374351
Lol what's your debt currently at?

We are all doing worse it seems

>>14368287
anyone got a link for this album or the album which features OP's youtube link?

It warmed my heart.

Does anyone else like Crystal King and YMO? I can't stand modern jpop and anime intros, but I loved 80s intros.

Kinnikuman has a good one. Shut gets me pumped with optimism.

>>14380067
You can look up titles on Japanese Wikipedia by browsing singles by year, eg, 1985:

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1985%E5%B9%B4%E3%81%AE%E3%82%B7%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AB

They also have albums by year.

Then for specific songs just use a search engine. Not just Nico or Youtube or so on, but there seem to be music sites from countries like Vietnam that host these songs at least for a while.

>>14380315
Debt doesn't matter in the areas around the nation's capital. We're expanding tremendously, housing, jobs, etc. The recession never really hit us. Rest of America doesn't matter.

>>14381642
Isn't Washington a shit hole?

>>14381908
It's filled with niggers, yes.

Yes. The 80s were undoubtedly an almost magical time for Japan. That atmosphere is present in most media from that time too, that's why it's so good.

>>14380067
Do you have a Jpopsuki account? There's 4 or 5 fantastic City Pop collages on there, taken from a book I think. Check those out for sure.

Check this out.
Yamaha apparently released a vinyl record in Detroit for the Yamaha President’s Secretary. Electric funk with a taste of the future found in the 80’s nearly a decade later after the record’s production.

Found this on the East coast. I'm blown away by this record. I have one more record I bought thats from the 70's.

Anyone know her? I took one listen to her first track and it was exactly what I was looking for. I do like a little more enka in ny 70's idols but this album seems to be a little more up beat than getting into the japanese folk Blues rythems that was going on during the 70's.

>>14386460
what exactly was it called?
links?

>>14381908
>>14383745
No, hasn't been for over a decade now. Whole city is getting gentrified and its suburbs have always been wealthy.

>>14386507
Well, I have not done any digging around on this album at all yet. If you look closely at my picture there is pretty specfic text below the main artist's image.

I'm thinking that I bought this as an incomplete set.

The corrner at the top on one saide says "session2". This was probably a 2 set album release in one package.

Double records and bonus tracks or extras have always been the only way for music to sell in Japan. I bought this from a store that is an expert in the east coast vintage technology feild and they bought it as it was.

The other record I posted Was missing its second record as well. Disapointing because its really a find of a life time, even in Japan. It still has its pin strip, good decail info extras, and the double sided single release mini record.

I can post more once I'm settled in back home posting video links. Worse comes to worse I will upload a high quality video audio recording of the album. Already have a tumbler and gb page for otaku culture going on. This is probably the kick in the butt I need to start its youtube branch up too.

Doing some reseqrch on it. Bored out of my mind. Looks like someone out of germany is selling the entire Yamaha studio cd and vinyl collection. I might buy more of these Japanese releases. Yamaha definitly had a studio in L.A (not detroit) just because they friggin could. Maybe they wanted to get into the business a bit and fund artists they thought valuable. Seems legit to me if I had such a successful company already.

There isn't any wiki out there on the studio at the moment though. I'm trying to interview with Yamaha so its something I'm going to research. Subjects like these ussualky take a lot of phone calls until you land several interviews you historicly record from the people that were the ones there starting these branches.

I tried interviewing an American Hong Kong Chinese actress from the 70's, but she never replied to me. I'll try again.

Same desu family. Toshiki Kadomatsu is my waifu.

Guys, I found out I have avhs player that actually can play japanese movies. As of right now these videos are not avlible as torrents and there are no streaming sites out there that host the movies. Both are rare and combined cost me $60 each. One is from the 80's V Madona Go For Broke and fantasy detective film from the 70's. I have no subs for them.

I want to upload these movies to youtube or something, but I don't want to ruin these vhs. One of them was never transfered to DVD or blu-rey to this day in Japan and outside of Japan.
Does anyone know how to transfer vhs on to dvd then online without ruining them? I know there use to be vhs duplicators but I would have to buy a dublicator and then use the duplicate tape for a dvd transfer for a torrent/youtube file transfer.

I might know more about this subject than others but if anyone has any advise let me know. Thanks.

>>14380439

there's no album, it's a single from a movie called sabishinbou that she starred in. The movie itself is expensive/rare as fuck to find on DVD and english subs are totally non-existent. Really annoys me so much bc i want to see it so badly.

Seriously. Japan did not do everything right but if its one thing than its their strict isolation.

So many good 80s channels got taken down...
Aren't there like any alternatives at all?

I don't like how things are progressing.

you could always try using a japanese auction house like yahoo japan auctions to buy your favourite albums from. I buy most of my 80s jpop vinyl albums and stuff from there they have alot of stuff you cant find anywhere else it does get quite expensive sometimes though.
there is a number of other sites I use to purchase my jpop from like disclegend.com and snowrecords.com.

I apologize for my poor grammer I have a disability. I hope I have been of some help =)

I really like watching movies and shows set in the 80's. I know it was the Cold War, but 80's USA, Japan, and Western Europe looked awesome as fuck. West Germany seemed dope and out-of-this-world.

>>14381142
I really like how TV shows and anime were like in 80's Japan. They're so much more fun than today's stuff.

>>14412456
I truly believe the 1960's, 1970's, and especially the 1980's had great fashion and styles for women. They actually embraced their feminine features and weren't ashamed of expressing it through clothing and hair.

>>14425546
I wonder what it'd be like if Japan had dodged the bubble bursting? What if people in the mid-80's realized what was going to happen and laid preventive measures to ensure their economy wouldn't hit a recession?

>>14431606

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ8e1Vvqar4

I have this stubborn obsession with the 80s, regardless whether it's Japan or Western culture.

Cars, electronics, media, pop culture... everything followed the same schematics as today of trying to fulfil some idealised/romanticised mental construct which was simply based on the average human desires of wealth, well being and ultimately procreation. However, back then everything wasn't so incredibly artificial. You could be a dirt poor proletarian and still relate to idols, because there was still a recognisable human being underneath all the plastic. The separation of economic classes in the population is so big today, we're almost heading towards feudal times again.

Even though the average wealth has subjectively increased, we're so unhappy because our expectations are higher than ever from the constant comparisons to fabricated worlds we perceive as 'real' through the internet/marketing etc. Just look at the sick show people orchestrate on social media to receive some form of confirmation. Ah... shit, I feel like an old man typing this. Maybe I'm just one of those 'good old times' idiots.

Not only for Japan.
Both Music and Photography were, entirely objectively, from an artistic point of view of much higher quality.
I Intentionally do not say better, as this always goes down to personal taste. But the unmatched quality of these media from the 80's are undeniable.

Photography specifically, commercial or hobbiest, felt a lot more natural and sharp - filled with life. Today its all about special effects, faking and touch up. Let alone that digital photography is one of the cheapest investions I can think of. What a downgrade from those technologically and mechanically superior analog cameras.
Not to forget that getting your film/photos processed had its own special vibe.
Of course we still have those today for high end photography studios and those cameras are indeed great but still not quite what they used to be as they cater to a digital medium in the end anyway.

It does not end there, considering the bigger picture and the major trends/mainstream a lot of things were simply better. To many to write them all down.

Be thankful we have the internet, atleast today it is entirely possibly to live in the past, unlike a few decaded back.

Sorry, got carried away.

>>14464520
All I want to do in life is ultraviolet and infrared photography.

>>14464520
The best thing about dreaming of the distant paradise of the past, as opposed to a geographical place or the not too distant future, is that you don't have to worry about ever actually ending up there, and finding that it's a far cry form what you imagine it to be.

>>14464537
Most digital cameras go a bit into the IR spectrum, you can photograph the light from a remote control with them. Many bank notes have special IR-print on them that you can see this way.

>>14464573
>and finding that it's a far cry form what you imagine it to be.
Generally I agree, but I am still not so sure.
Hell, the 80's were not perfect either in any way.
Every decade has its own problems. And without a doubt today a lot of things improved aswell.

I'd say it depends on the person and what everyone holds dear and values the most.
Personally I wouldn't want to have lived my prime in the early 70s for example.

Not to forget, the good things you only really start to appreciate once they are gone.

the music was definitely better in the 80s.

theres also a dvd box set of most her televised appearances too. but it goes for a lot of money.

I know I mentioned this in a previous post I made but I really recommend buying the music you like. I say this because alot of these artists you probably wont find downloads for. I personally prefer owning physical copies of my music. there are tons of japanese music records online for cheap at japanese auction houses. I don't know about you guys but owning a record and holding it in your hand feels great especially if you really like that artist (plus sometimes the cover art is really cool).

I really only use youtube to discover new artists and watch lives. you can still discover new artists elsewhere I use a number of sites to discover artists.

literally just found a japanese cover of the ghostbuster theme by some idol from the 80s. it doesn't hold a candle to the original but its still an okay listen.

http://universo-japones.blogspot.co.za/2012/04/yukiko-okada-cinderella-album-download.html

I found 2 of her other albums here:
http://japann-music.blogspot.com.br/search/label/Yukiko%20Okada

If you guys really want all her music I reckon just download the torrent from hello-online. It's gonna take forever though, the download speeds are horrible...

Damn, speaking of Yukko, can't find the picture I've posted here with all of my Yukko collection. Did anyone save it ?

On a slightly related note does anyone know how I should go about getting a wall print of Yukko?

I'd love to have a poster of this >>14489741
or something similar.

>>14491426

If you really want one go to yahoo japan auctions and buy one. you can use yahoo japan auctions through a front man like buyee.

I just found one for you.

http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/e175324579

its a little expensive. you can wait till a cheaper one comes along though.

>>14491560

Do I need a proxy to purchase them? Will they ship to the U.S? Can I pay in dollars?

This is fucking amazing thank you

>>14491623

I don't think you need a proxy. they will ship to the us. most users take paypal money only. sometimes you will come across items you will not be able to purchase. I hope I have been of some help.

>>14491623
I should also add that I have been buying my records from there for a bit now and haven't had any problems. there have been a couple times when I have been outbid but that stuff happens.

>>14491649
>>14491659
So you think they take U.S dollars? Also what search term did you use?

Thanks again

>>14491690
I just put "岡田有希子" into the search bar. I'm assuming they take u.s. dollars.

>>14490117
Nevermind, found it.

>>14493883
That is magnificent dude

>>14493883
Impressive!
Now, upload it for us please and your place in heaven is next to her! Godspeed.

>>14493883
nice

>>14494208
I can upload one album (shitty low tier internet) atm. Which one would u like ? (in b4 audiofag : 320 vbr would be enough, no ?)

>>14495091
Sweet! Definetly the all songs request album.
Would cover most of her best songs in one go.

Why do you have multiple versions of those, whats the difference?
Of course the quality is enough. Thanks!

>What if people in the mid-80's realized what was going to happen

People did, but they were complete Cassandras.

Once you realize the bubble was designed off of raising value on the basis of NOTHING, it becomes a ticking time bomb. But people who are making mad dosh don't care about what'll happen 5 years from now, they care about now.

What's worse is THESE SAME PEOPLE were ignored during the bubble in the US before 2008 when they said, "you retards, this exact shit went down in Japan 20 years ago, did you forget what happened then?"

I hope you'll enjoy it.

>>14501817
Some years later..she evolved into Bonnie Pink.

Kidding aside, her songs are great.

>>14502600
Wow, amazing quality, proper track names. Great! Many thanks, finally I have a decent collection of her best stuff. I just could not find anything on the web!

As promised: Maybe I have something within my 70's-80's range that would interest you?
Just name an artist or two and we'll see what albums I have.

>>14502800
You're welcome, anon.
I've got some Kozo Murashita, too, if you're interested. Or maybe another Yukko album ?

I see you've got some Off Course, I often listen to this link https://youtu.be/62WoE_pB164

So maybe you have something close to this ?

>>14502883
Ouch, you've hit my weak point. Its really the only artist where everything is a complete mess, lol

I only have this album:
http://www.universal-music.co.jp/offcourse/products/toct-26151/
Again, off course was really hard to find.

Currently the album is fully untagged and question marks only. But I've meant to fix that for a long time.

Take a look at the link, if the tracks are what you're looking for I'll get things fixed and uploaded.

>>14502929
Don't bother with the tags, if you can upload it, it would be enough, anon.

I have some 80s japan vinyls coming in would you guys mind if I showed you my recent purchases when I get them?

Also, if someone has some invites left I'd appreciate it. Finding City Pop albums with active links is somewhat impossible now.

>Asia may very well rise again soon.

Nope, Japan is fucked. It's way too racist, xenophobic, isolationist and traditionalist.

Rapidly shrinking labour force, half a possible labour force (Women) are still basically treated as a fucking joke (I've read stories of female board members in major coporations still having to go around acting as office girls bringing coffee and snacks to employees), companies have an ultra-conservative non-adaptable culture, companies often run through traditionalist dynasty.

Honestly, if Japan wants to save it's economy, it will need to start increasing immigration rapidly, if I was Abe, I would be taking a lot of Syrian refugees and re-educating them (especially women).

South Korea is going to go down the same path as well due to the same reasons.

>>14511122

shes a great singer. I own all her 80s albums. I just need to start collecting her singles now.
I wonder if she ever did any televised performances? if she did I cant seem to find them.

Has anyone beem able to find an audio version of Yukko in concert? I know the Hello torrent has one, but i gave up after 3 months of no seeders.
As far as physical releases, i would sell my soul to the dark side for a 45 rpm of "Hana no image". Which im not even sure if it went into sale

>>14512370

I'm assuming you mean the "heart jack" concert?

here it is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0bJKwY5Z1o

and as for the single "hana no image" I think it was only released on cd many years after her death. If a vinyl version does exist its probably incredibly rare.

>>14511774
>if Japan wants to save it's economy, it will need to start increasing immigration rapidly

Why import people that will destroy the social, cultural and ethnic character of your nation when you can just build robots and computers to take over like 40% of all the jobs?

>>14509618
My japanese isn't amazing, but I reckon she is
singing about giving him her heart, and not her pussy.
"Kowarete mo ii, Sutete mo ii."

You maybe want to point something out that I'm missing?

>>14513553
>>14509618

>Robots taking over 40% of jobs won't destroy social, cultural and ethnic character of your nation

>>14513553
>>14513560

>>14512370
I can provide mp3 of Hana no Image.
I used to listen to a Yukko live concert maybe in a real player format but I can't find it atm.

>>14513606
Most jobs that stand to be replaced are not jobs that have interactions with people as a primary concern. They're invisible to the average person. So instead of a skyscraper full of salary-men slaving away in anonymity it's computers doing that work. Nobody is going to replace the cute girl in the candystore ie. jobs the general population interacts with.

>>14511369
thanks for linking that
the backdancers for locomotion are great. lol.

Do any of you have stock piles of that hong kong vinyl records still?
I was suppose to email one of you like a year ago that someone forwarded me.

Yo anon with all thgose vintage reeasier posting here though.ords from hong kong I still have your email address. At the moment its easier posting here though. I van help catagorize them and appraize them for you.

I'm even down to buy some

I'm seeking to buy lots of Japanese, Korean, or Hong Kong Records currently. More idols and soundtracks really. Japanese bands and music mash ups just dont sell well on the market. Still, they sell better than modern band records and a heck of a lot better than tradional japanse music.

post your vinyls

>>14447717
Hey thanks. Looks like I'm getting orders now though for people who want me to record my laser discs on a vhs player though. Some of them like sticking with tradtional media though. Anyway, I will pick up a capture card for sure then.

I'm having some of these Japanese VHS concerted into DVD while not ever harming the vhs tape itself.

Anyone down to watch V. Madona Go For Broke once I get the system up? No subtiitles of courses yet. I'll have to ask a forum to do it. I wouldn't be able to do but the basic Japanese sentences in the movie. Really not helpful.

I nostalgia'd!
Nozomi was good too, but I think she was 90's.

80s and 90s Japan did have I think the hottest fashion trends.

That 80s hair just works so well on Japanese girls, also they don't look like porcelain dolls like modern Japanese girls, they actually look like actual Asians.

Its why I think I also enjoy a lot of 90s and 80s female anime designs than modern anime designs as well.

Most YMO stuff is quite similar.

It just feels like there's something missing in modern anime. Like the other day I was watching Orange Road and it just felt more honest than modern shows.
I think it's the glorious long skirts.

There is a real need for a proper dedicated j-80's Internet Radio station. Every few months I scout the webs but there is nothing out there.

There are very few proper japanese radio stations to begin with. Why is that? Even the smallest western countries have hundreds of them.
