1980s and 90s Japan, Anime & City Pop appreciation thread.

All creatives are welcome to reproduce the style and vibes.

Write conlangs in Kanji and Kana.

*Japan is alive so the 1980s autist paradise came and went. We can fork our own culture and keep the vibes alive.

CASIOPEA (not Cassiopeia) has a lot of those works, that sound like improved, modernized jazz.

Because it is! The genre's name - "JAZZ FUSION" - implies fusion of jazz and whatever pop music was "pop" at the time.



1980s CASIOPEA sounds both boisterous and uplifiting, good.

>Although, a 1940s-born salaryman would probably listen to imported jazz (Stan Getz and suh) or Yukari Ito's singing - so _maybe_ you're right in _that_ regard though

So, I was told Stan Getz' jazz was hot back then in Japan and it would be that kind of jazz fitting for Murakami's "Peter Cat" jazz bar (back in those days, Murakami had a bar).

Is it true that young people in Japan only watch airing anime and have never watched "the classics" because of the strong anti-piracy culture/laws and extremely expensive Blue Rays?

 No.43844

Well, Cardcaptor Sakura blu-ray is 80000 yen aka 800$, so the "extremely expencive" part is true

 No.43845

80,000 Yen is easily obtainable for a highschooler with 4 days of part time work. Japan is a first world country so an $800 anthology collection of a cherished anime isn't something only rich people can afford.

 No.43846

>>43845
Hmmmmm…


I am not sure, but it was not an anthology - rather, 1 disc (out of 4) with a "recommended price" of 80000 ¥

Did you know that some Japanese people can live like modern day hermits? They go out days, weeks even month or years without going out of their homes, and those people are called hikikomori!

In a sense, 1979 Doraemon fits several criteria:


comfy

mindless consumption

somewhat isekai-ish in terms how Nobita, the MC, gets to test one or another XXII century gadget.


The 1979 series is very comfy with its vibes (unlike too boisterous 2005/modern Doraemonl

Because it actually a original anime, not a adaption of a manga story, the manga is actually the adapting of the anime, many anime adaption of mangas story got butchered or straight is unfinished, in the end better to watch original anime and read the source manga.

Londonfag here, I haven't seen any new tower blocks that have been built for working class people. Every new one I've seen so far has been luxury *apartments*. They've been knocking down some of the old flats for these new luxury ones. Also IIRC they turn one of the tower blocks into a luxury one and kicked out ALL the original residents.

 No.43843

>>43792
Well, of course they knock down tower blocks! Ever heard of Rohan Point disaster? Any tower block may have a flaw similar to one that took lives of several people over a small gas exposion that didn't even wreck the leaking gas stove!

I mean, yeah. Sure, it's a shame they don't offer many square meters in an old building (for manageable price) to a bulky nervous bloke who *needs* a lot of room to feel confident.

I was told this 1995 anime was aimed at 1990s Japanese - and it was supposed to reflect how boys from 1980s may turn out - full of 1980s morals when everything was good, lacking 1950s ability to survive the bad economy, lacking 1960s ability to thrive, lacking 1970s ability to prosper, even though having 1980s-based dreams, aspirations, and probably being educated enough to handle the tools provided by their legacy - education or 'piloting' some weird machine…

I want to discuss something that has been bothering me about anime. There is a certain subset of anime that is essentially a way for losers to fantasize about being popular and powerful normalfags who get all the succubi. The typical format is a fantasy harem show where the MC is some loser with a typical self-sacrificing nice guy routine. He saves some succubus from X danger and kills himself so he gets isekaied as a noble with overpowered magic powers and his memories intact. In the show he keeps up his usual nice guy act, often being quite milquetoast and useless, but he gets plot armored into all the succubi liking him and other positive things so his nice guy routine is rewarded to the max. The other thing is that the succubi are usually underage for some reason.

I think there is something vaguely fucked up about this whole situation. First off, these corporations are targeting people who are clearly mentally unwell and lack confidence in life and they are catering to their fantasies in ways that are pretty fucked up. I mean if you have no confidence and are attracted to little succubi, that should not be encouraged or normalized because it's fucked up. Men who lack confidence seem to view little succubi as less threatening because they share their ignorance about social customs and the world, even to a greater extent than the man in question, depending upon how low he goes in age. The more fucked up they are mentally, the younger they seem to want. It betrays a desire to be able to control the situations and perceptions of the succubus and not be humiliated.

But let's set aside the pedo aspect for a second, even without that, this shit is fucked up. The whole point of the show is for weak and broken people to self insert as the MC so they can fantasize about a situation that compensates for all their inherent weaknesses (which the MC is shown to share in spades) and delivers to them the perfect normalfag life where they are at the top of the social pyramid. They are the most powerful, most popular, with the harem of the most attractive succubi. Is this really something that wizards should be watching and fantasizing about? Isn't is just kind of, pathetic? Real life will never plot armor you into any of that shit, if your fantasies revolve around things that you will never have in real life (but which do exist in real life, ie power, wealth, hot succubi etc), won't you just end up wanting to fucking kill yourself?
