Princess from the moon was a classic hit movie amoungst japanese teenagers. Just as America had a set of popular movies based around teenagers, so did Japan. Japanese and Americaican 1980's movies would develop classic teenage movie classics.

Yes it is,but...>>12270478 probably is British or from some where in Europe. The Criterion collection owns the rights to the movie outside of Japan but has only released it in England for dvd. Criterion has yet to release them in North America. If you live anywhere outside of Britian than you'll need a multi region dvd/bluray player to buy/watch this film.

You could always download the movie, sure, but it doesn't bring the clarity or niche side comodities that come with the actual hard copy. Criterion version of the.movie is still going to be better than any dvd made in Japan too. Lastly you could buy the overpriced verstion of the dvd on American amazon for pirated vhs quality $100 if you were that desperate. Buying multi dvdplayer and u.k copy would be cheaper still. Hulu plus has it with the criterion collection selection though. Seems like if the criterion collection doesn't have a dvd distributed in North America than they have it on hulu plus. Its a shame, because almost all their steller retero master peices aren't released in the U.S, not even 3 of Mishima's movies are here in North America release.

Its all just the same companies and families making money by sepersting and selling the rights to different regions. They make more money seperating the regions and then have the imort taxes they benifit off of skyrocket when others are importing dvds and that specidic region's dvd/bluray player. It was the same thing with vhs.

If dvd and bluray distributors cared about the people all across tje world than they would form a union saying they wold only host region 0 dvds/blurays and dvd/bluray players, but they don't because then the certian companies and families wouldn't sign contracts with them and open their own factories.

This is how things work. Divide and conqure the wallets of the peasents. Props, cause they certianly did it in terms of video pleasures.

Vhs region lock is tje worst because its hard importing a japanese vhs player these days that will play my japanese 1980's vhs tapes.

I think 1980's cloros and designs is what is appealing to me when I post these images. I agree with you when you say if you just like it for coming from the past is dumb. There is that 180film quality they just don't use anymore in movies that the 80's used always. Its aedthetically appealing to look at. The hair styles are out there as well. When I mert a girl with 80's hair I flip the HELL out. Its more the quaility desgin put into products and the accomplishments of artfulness through mediums in the 80's that I enjoy. Do you really think a movie could pull off a sucessful marketing campain looking like this today? Tje ssign is appealing to the senses yet simple an unique. Look how they cut out different parts of the movie and make the poster have almost vissual iformational of the movie. So many things being said that most posters don't do to this day.

And who can forget the stunts and special effects seen at concets, movies, tv, that are all but dead today.

>>12274072
It's not a fetish, it's nostalgia. At least for me.
>>12275082
The 80s was kind of an interesting time in a lot of ways. A lot of enduring pop culture came out of the decade, and even people who were born after the 1980s have some familiarity with 80s pop culture.

Well I'm not saying you can't like things from the past. It has a lot of history to offer. The problem is when that history is lost on people who glorify a mythic, disconnected past that's distorted by fiction and/or nostalgia. Adults who can only think of good times and kids who think the 80s is nothing more than synths and neon, picked up from a movie like Drive. Tumblr is full of the latter and that annoys me. There's no incentive to engage, rather tumblr's all about recycling content.

I love analog distortion. I like VHS fuzz because I grew up obsessively watching tapes. But I never say VHS is better than DVDs. It kinda sucked to be honest. That's what I mean by fetishism--elevating it in terms of meaning or value just because it's old. Saying shit like "retro anime is so much better" or something without getting why it is the way it is (stories, production methods, contexts). What's really interesting is not what we're attracted to, but why we're attracted to it.

Also, I really like 80s (anime) hair too. It's so big and comfy looking.

>>12275446

I'll agree with that. VHS tapes, cartridge games, all frustrating as fuck. But I get the people who go to lengths to get their emulator to look the way it looked when they played as a kid, there's a kind of odd charm to it. I happen to like film photography for party similar reasons(but mostly because old 35mm cameras were simply built way better than today's DSLRs - tanky, metal construction with chunky buttons that give really satisfying clicks).
>Also, I really like 80s (anime) hair too. It's so big and comfy looking.
Big hair wasn't just limited to anime.

>>12276005
>I happen to like film photography for party similar reasons(but mostly because old 35mm cameras were simply built way better than today's DSLRs - tanky, metal construction with chunky buttons that give really satisfying clicks).
Analog is always warmer and more nostalgic. Film is especially more potent than digital and requires a lot more skill to get right. New digital movies with their cheap filters are a real turnoff for me. And it's nice to see things slowly deteriorate over time. Old pictures feel a little more magical when they've faded over the decades. I'm probably sounding like some of the people I've complained against, but that feeling of transience is a beautiful thing. I feel the digital age has lost that. If there's one thing that makes "retro" appealing, it's that simple fact of imperfection and impermanence.

>Big hair wasn't just limited to anime.
Yeah, but it looked especially nice in anime. Real life big hair doesn't really do it for me. Real life in general doesn't really do it for me.

>>12276082
>Film ... requires a lot more skill to get right.
I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. Black & White and Color Negative film are exceptionally forgiving, which is what led to the rise of cheap fixed-focus fixed-exposure cameras. You can easily guesstimate exposure with color negative film and get good images, no meter required. For a complete newbie, an old auto-exposure camera like the AE-1 and a good color negative film Portra or Ektar will probably return better results than a DSLR. Slide film requires more skill, but it actually shares a lot in common with digital, in that both have a narrow dynamic range requiring more precise exposure control - not to mention slide film is quickly going the way of the dodo. A lot of people will point to bracketing exposures as a reason digital is easier than film, but most old film photography books recommend bracketing exposures to make sure you got it right and many photographers practiced it.

TL;DR, film isn't actually all that hard.

>>12276135
Ah, I was talking about film like for movies. You obviously know more about this than me. I don't know if it operates exactly the same way, but I've heard that getting lighting and filters right for movies on film stock is considerably more difficult than digital. I've only ever used digital, but I know that you can easily film decent scenes with minimal lighting contrivances. Just white-balance, block a little bit and that usually works, even for outdoor scenes.

>>12276216
Well lighting is a beast no matter film or digital, but digital does have several advantages over film like being lower in bulk, and giving more immediate control over ISO and white balance, ect., but there's so much more to recording video than just that. Digital certainly makes for an easier post process, and there's a lot less worry about running through all your film stock. It was also harder for a long time to review shot film with any sort of convenience, not to mention syncing up sound.

All other things the same, digital is easier, but video is a massive undertaking either way.

Yeah I read it, sorry about generalizing so much. But I'm sure that you can agree with me atleast to some extend. Most of the people ignore old Japanese movies and music, missing most of the jokes and referenses in many new series. They always complain about "having to be this japanese to understand" some films and anime.

Yes it is. It was made right before Suzuki made Branded to Kill. There was a secind film,schedguled with the full script already,written, but the studio fired suzuki wrongfuly without any pay for his movie branded to kill or severance. Seijuin suzuki then sewed the film company and won not only the law suit but also public favor. Despite this no one would hire him for 10 years later out of fear that his movies would flop along side a rebelious attitude.

Fighting Elegy's love story tied into the action is the most beautiful love affair in all of world cinema.

Besides well know Japan actio Club Ninja movies, does anyone know any classic 1980's Japanese movies? They don't even have to be well known or famous. Heck! Some of the bedt ones are the cheaply made ones.

I've gone to great lengths pursuing.special affect Japanese 1980's fantasy.movies and Japan Action Club always, ALWAYS, delivers in the 80's; mostly consisting.of some off shoot ninjas.

At this point I've started watching the 80's Hong Kong and Taiwanese Ninja Exploitation films NOT to mention the cut and paste Alex Ho movies. Honestly, the Hong Kong and Taiwanese Ninja films aren't all that bad since they sometimes frature well known Japanese actors and huge amount of special effects, but Alex Ho movies....are the lowest.

Thats pretty great.find for seeing them in a local store. Anyway you can post pictures of the store? Interested to see what else would be there. Sounds like they'd have some other Japanese merchindice if they just.picked up those 2 random magazines.

Also I wanted to ask you two.if you know anything about Sukeban Deka. I found tje tv dvd series in Japan but its a popular show to this day and tje dvd was equvilant to like $150 U.S D or so. At the time I didn't have the funds to just drop all that on a single dvd boxset. But I did see the Original 1980's manga volumes for ?1700. Didn't have room in the suit case for it. Decided to wait on it until next year. Its a manga series that comes in and out a lot as a whole.

I really should watch this film too.

>>12322740
If you're going to watch it than please watch the Japanese version that has both vital deleted scenes that never were put into the world wide release and an actual dialogue that makes sense. There is a few movies with Yamata that are good. I did an image search on the title and found a website that has a few screen shots and a 27 second video of the movie. It's a shame, because Japan has some excellent special effects from the 80's that are mostly dead in the U.S, but excelled in the 70's and 80's. Fans of these special effects are left wanting more fantasy movies with great special effects. Such fans need to realize that Japan has those fantasy effects in their 1980's film and TV. If the West could get more hyped about Japanese cinema than we could all enjoy those special effects more. Here's the link.

In the first one there is, with Nausicaa, Madoka from Orange Road, Creamy Mami, Mahou no Emi, and Pastel Idol Yumi. In-game there's Minky Momo too, but you can't strip her, she's the hostess and don't play against her.

Akina's the best idol ever and Fushigi is the best J-Pop album ever produced.

>>12343217
Do I have a bad version of her album fushigi? In my version all the voices are very muffled. like a bad live version.

>>12291640
Momoe was great and made some great music. She's no Akina (nobody is) but she's a great #2. I liked her as an influence for Akina, both the powerful voice and ability to do her own thing on her own terms.

;_;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mUaMmcoObY
man, those cloths. those hairstyles. her voice.
I miss it all so much...

>>12343271
No you have the right version. The muffled voice was the point: the whole thing was intentionally this weird fever dream of a pop album (she was influenced heavily by the soundtrack of The Exorcist). It's very much a dream pop/ethereal wave album.

Listen to some stuff like Cocteau Twins, it's way more along those lines just a bit poppier. I love it, it's a great album from start to finish and I guess she was trying to make some kind of statement about how she was more than just an idol because it was the first album she had control over.

>>12343368
Samefag but again, the muffled voice was intentional. She actually originally recorded the album normally, then listened to it and thought it didn't sound right which led to EUROX coming back in and Akina re-recording the vocals using a vocoder and whatnot to heavily distort her vocals (and then obviously they were mixed more into the instrumental tracks). I love it, she sounds like a ghost haunting the entire album.

The first version of Back Door Night (with her normal vocals before they were re-recorded) used to be on Youtube but that went with most of the other Jpop that got purged. It's still a good song but the version that eventually came out is way better I think.

>>12343396
oh okay. I was thinking it must have been intentional since the overall quality of the instrumental parts wasnt wrong or bad at all.

Guess its nothing for me then. I love most of her other stuff though. She is one of my favourites from that time.

>>12291640
Hm. She has some great songs. Her Voice is nice too. But for a reason I cannot point out she is not among my favourites.
It probably is not momoe herself but rather the melodies and tunes in her songs that are nothing special to me.

I liked that 80s hits CD that was posted here a few months ago, any more like it?

Noticed all the payphone booths? Those have disappeared when jap smartphones appeared in the late 90s

There's various sites for '80s jpop or Japanese music (like the previously mentioned tsuzilla). Anything similar for '90s stuff? Maybe stuff up until the rise of Namie, Ayu and the like in the late '90s.

I really, really, like SMAP.

I'm a guy and I have about 900 pictures of these dudes and zero pictures of girls. My SMAP folder is like 50gb (impressive, considering there isn't much pre-2000's stuff out there).

Their songs from the 90's are still "trendy", or more like timeless.

Naah, it's not nostalgia, it's just pure interest. I don't express nostalgia about anything, it's just that most of the time, the stuff I like are from the 70s and 80s, and sometimes from the 90s.

These criticisms are flimsy and the distinctions arbitrary. Stop letting nostalgia cloud your judgement. Every decade has its masterpieces. And if you're talking animation, while I lament the death of cel, it has only gotten more refined. While storytelling form has broadened, this does not mean less quality.

But, I'll throw my own opinions in too:

70s anime, best music
80s anime, best character designs
90s anime, best animation quality and depression

Can you guys give me some recommendations for enka/kayokyoku? Entry level stuff would be the best, but anything good is highly appreciated.

This loses its point to a degree since there is a reason why those three are the most critically acclaimed and popular classic directors of Japan.

Wow. I should frequent /jp/ more often. Seems like people are still interested in retro threads.
I am sorry I did not continue the general series.

This is a full album upload with the url set to track 6. While its not of japanese origin said track has atleast some japanese vocals. So there is that.

You might want to check out the entire album. It is one of my favourites.

What are those old fashioned music noises called that start playing around :20 and stop at like :40? They used to be used in hip hop a lot.

I think you can find it under the name of "orchestral hit" in GM patch lists.

The Rupert cartoon series beats the living hell out of all the shitty cartoons the '80s had.

Is tsuzilla still around? I didn't bookmark it, but when I search for it on Google, the blog doesn't come up.

Does anyone else think the 90s was the golden age of J-Pop? Stuff like B'z, GLAY, Mr. Children, ZARD, 90s Namie, Every Little Thing, SPEED, and so much more. You even get golden-era Morning Musume, Ayumi Hamasaki, and Hikaru Utada at the tail end of the decade. Seems like everyone here focuses on either the 80s or the 2010s.

>>12429669
I think 90s J-pop is great.

>>12429669
Not sure if I'd go as far as saying it's the golden era as I really like 2000s stuff too, but yeah, 90s is really enjoyable.

>>12275435
I love Japanese 80s music. Culture, both past and present, is shit though. Only good for anime and music and relaxation stuff.

I believe that the most beautiful Japanese singer is Shizue Abe.

This video is when she was in her fifties because the video isn't found when she was her twenties.

Come on nigga educate yourself. Which reminds me a while back I suggested a live stream full of retro Japanese adverts, con videos, music, anime ops, and retro Japanese PC games. Is that something people here are still interested in seeing happen?

>>12431364
Read that advert. So that's a 90's laptop? With a whopping 64kb of RAM? Huehue. I'd be interested in the stream for shits and giggles.

>Culture, both past and present, is shit though
seriously, how can you walk and not fall to the floor having a head full of air? Because you´re implying that american and european culture are better nowadays
The fact that modern culture icons this days are the Kardashians, Justin Bieber and miley Cyrus says it all.
And by the way, music is a representation of a country´s culture so please dont contradict yourself trying to look bored and unimpressed

In Japan, Peggy March and Connie Francis released a lot of songs in Japanese.
And their pronunciation of Japanese was very superb.

It's great. I think it is where the transition of J-pop from single performers to idols/musicians in groups come in.

>>12431390
Nope. That's supposed to be an MSX computer.

>>12433281

Fuck, was that guy unable to read the "MSX personal computer" that was written IN ENGLISH on this ad?

>>12275435
How far back is retro? I like Kohmi Hirose and Nanase Aikawa, but that's only the 90s

>>12429650

Yes, it's still around, tsuzilla.blogspot
