バブル時代に戻ろう・・・ Back to the Bubble with Nichibeitrader

[pandegratin]

観光地ならいざ知らず、当時を考えると街中でカメラ回すなんて、

日本人ならしないもんね。

こおいう貴重な映像は外国人旅行者の方が持ってるのかもしれない­。

貧乏くさいビデオですね

GET WILD AND TOUGH

[sabro0jp]

店の人に嫌がられてる?w

[YouQube05117]

懐かしい！８０年代が青春でした。ってことは同世代？親近感が沸­いてきた。お二人で漫才でもしてYouTubeで流してみたら？­

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Charlie is a real nice guy and his vids are great windows into the past.

[kbat82]

you are* :)

[kbat82]

youre videos are awesome.

[Hikosaemon]

Sukoshi yaku ni tatetara ureshii desu♪

Sam is indeed truly everywhere. It was actually a bigger gathering with elevencolors and cooney as well, but there was never a good time to get out the camera - it was a real fun night.

Peace and Ganbatte!

どこも飲み会の形は同じだなぁ～と思いました（笑

[Hikosaemon]

そうかもしれないね～笑

世界中の飲むおっさんは大体同じ感じですね♪

良いところで楽しい飲みでした

[cruxay]

Yeah... I was literally just born haha... 1987.

Good vid and that was one cheap bill! Take me there next time so I can treat you =D hahahaha

[Hikosaemon]

Hehe, maybe you didn't notice but this actually was the place I took you last time mate! It's a good spot... I know some more places we can check for next time.

Peace

[cruxay]

haha dam it is!!!

That place was awesome, and the service was....... yeah hahahaha

[kkajapan]

Great video! Looks like you guys had a great time. I miss Japan!  Hope to come sometime this year.

[Hikosaemon]

kkajapan! We did indeed have a great time. If you come into Tokyo and have time, definitely let me know - I'd love to compare 日本企業仕事経験 and I know there would be other tubers keen to join!

Peace

[sayakoito]

Thank you for introducing NichiBeiTrader :)

なつかしい。。。

[Hikosaemon]

Nichibeitraderの動画を見れました？

本当に懐かしいですね。

貴重な動画だと思います。

そして2009年、明けましておめでとうね♪

Peace

[justawolfbite]

Lookin' smart Hiko! Love the suit man. Your videos getting A lot better in quality, enjoying them

[Hikosaemon]

Hey, thanks for the encouragement! This vid was actually magic for me. Compared to my last few vids, there was hardly any editing involved and it was very improvised at the time. It was just the setting, the atmostphere, the conversation all just came out perfect. This is actually one of my favorite vids... Glad you enjoyed it.

Peace

[SlickWilly440]

Did the camera almost tip off the table during the beginning of this video, b/c the camera jerked to the left and everyone was like Whooah!!!?

[Hikosaemon]

Yep, I thought it was going to fall off and nearly panicked. As it turns out the guys at the next table were really cool people, they joined our little nomikai for a while!

Peace

[tokyocooney]

My goodness... did I really rant on for 4 hours. I really need to learn how to be "off" sometimes. Was fun hanging with you guys. Till next!

[hikotalk]

Haha, dude, I think you are like me - either "on" or "dead"... Apologies, I realize I said it like you were the only guy talking when of course we all were, and having a pretty good time - we were in that restaurant for more than 4 hours and the time flew right by. Customary apologies for all the discussion of porn...

Stay well, and indeed, till next!

Peace

[ElevenColors]

Ain't nothing wrong with talking about porn!

[BusanKevin]

Awesome stuff! Great to see you hangin with Charlie. He came down to Kobe a few months ago and met myself and KansaiPJ...good times!

[Hikosaemon]

Hey man, thanks for the video response. Gotta give nichibeitrader credit for doing such a good job of getting round. I'll have to try getting down your way myself sometime...

Peace

[crella]

Thanks for introducing Nichibeitrader, Hiko!

[Hikosaemon]

Crella! Great to hear from you - hope you and the family are well!

Peace

[fatblueman]

The bubble days would have been interesting. When is the bubble said to have ended? Is there kind of an official time frame?

[Hikosaemon]

Apparently there is - I found a Japanese wikipedia article I linked in the sidebar, that says it was officially from 1986 to 1991, which means I was in Japan for 2 weeks in Fukuoka during the bubble (in 1990). I always kind of thought of the end as 1995, which is when everything really fell apart - sales tax was introduced, the government collapsed, the Kobe earthquake, and then the Aum attacks all in a few months. I guess that was the start of the recession people say japan is still in.

Peace

[NichiBeiTrader]

I agree. The statistics point to 1991, but the Japanese were still spending money excessively through the mid 90s on the assumption that the realestate and stock market downturn would only be temporary.

[Daichen]

good to see you guys getting together talking about the 80's. I was still living in Japan then. それにしても日本語ペラペラやな〜！

btw, the reaction in the beginning when the guy almost knocked the camera over, yeah priceless lol. Made me laugh my ass off!

[Hikosaemon]

Dude, that was my GOOD camera!!!

My Xacti - sure, knock it over... but my Canon... dude, I nearly crapped my pants...

;)

Peace

[ericsurf6]

Hey Simon! Damn, you guys look alike. Is that really NichiBei or was that your clone again?

[NichiBeiTrader]

it was one of those ElevenColors video tricks ;-)

[Hikosaemon]

Eric! Great to see you online!

I must admit, Nichibeitrader is indeed an extremely good looking man... ;)

Peace

[RunningChad]

Looks like fun.

I was in Japan during the bubble peak.

My friend and I tried to go to Juliana Tokyo but the line to get in was too long.

The crazy thing that day was, when we got off the subway and walked out onto the street, three japanese girls came running up to us and said "Hi". It was kind of strange so we said "hi" back to them and went on our way, but they kept following us until they gave up and went back to the subway exit to wait for someone else. Crazy days eh.

[Hikosaemon]

Haha, I had an episode like that when I first visited Tokyo in 1995. If you were here and had the chance to party during the bubble, you automatically go into my "book of legends"!

Peace

[AndrewIsHot7]

この非常にいいです。私は日本が大好きです。それはあまりにも素­晴らしいです！

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Translated from English O.o...

[Hikosaemon]

Nice job with the 日本語、いい感じ！

Thanks for the comment!

Peace

[TkyoSam]

Happy to see the video and hearing me dominate the Asian customers with my sheer masculinity and whit alone ;)

Thanks for posting Simon ;D

[MisterNES]

Loved that last line bro!

[Hikosaemon]

I actually turned to Charlie the moment he said that and told him "dude, if that isn't an outro to this vid, I don't know what is"... Sam is a one liner machine...

Peace

[smily0612]

hello hiko

i'm 22 years old watching this video now!

i've been also curious what it would be in tokyo during 1987~1992. do you know the night club named ジュリアナ東京 opened in 1991 which is one of the remarkable symbols of バブル時代? all of my friends get shocked when i say my favourite japanese band is チェッカーズ. my favourite 洋楽? 'true'(spandau ballet) haha. oh i should've been born 15 years earlier

[Hikosaemon]

Haha mate!!! I was at an 80s karaoke party the other night and Checkers was the theme of the moment - crazy that you even know about those guys! I'm a big Fumiya fan, he has some great tunes for winning karaoke battles... Julianas as well, classic! Last I heard, that place was still running as Venus Tokyo - I even DJed a party there once... That's a different story♪

Peace

[coyote1966]

まんま日本のおっさんの飲み会ｗ

楽しそうでいいね！

[Hikosaemon]

笑、本当っすよ！

後で気づいたけどこの場所も動画的に最高ですね。風で揺れるのれ­んと、ちょっと入りすぎるスタフ・・・w

うん、楽しかったね

コメントをありがとう！

Peace

[stefmax]

It's great to see youtubers gathering together. Thanks for the cool video.

And you guys are right, I was only 2 years old when NichiBeiTrader filmed his video back in 1987.

It's great hearing you guys reminisce. Ojisan's in the making. Uso datta. :D

[Hikosaemon]

Hehe, I was 11 turning 12...

Nichibeitrader is a top guy, with a real good handle in Japan from the only way you can get it - some tough inside experience. Glad you enjoyed it.

Peace

[NichiBeiTrader]

What a character Sam is!

Hiko, thanks for hangin' out that evening. It was a lot of fun. Look forward to doing it again.

[TkyoSam]

damn right we kick ass :D

[Hikosaemon]

Mate, definitely again in the not too distant...

Peace

[Reaiota]

[Hikosaemon]
