December 1986 - Exploring old stomping grounds in Awase and we found the house that our friends, Bob and Amy lived in back in the early 1970s. The "Pink Store" (Awase Grocery) was fun to see again. We found "Pig Farm Road" too. After dodging pot holes we wend our way to Rte 329 (old Highway 13) then to Rte 74 to Chibana, Kadena Circle and end up at our house in aza-Oki on the Yomitan Peninsula. A huge advantage of being a passenger and not the driver is that I was able to notice and record a lot of the day-to-day mundane scenes along the way. DOZO!

僭越ながら引き継ぎます。古堅南小学校前から中道を通って、 33:18 で左折したT字路のどん詰まりが旧大木公民館前です。そこから園児をたくさん見かけるようになるのは、道の先に古堅小学校とそれに併設された幼稚園があるからです。動画は途中で右折されたので、学校までは映ってないですね。

That's "Hotel Carnival" at 16:23. Although the area has changed a bit, many of those love hotels are still there in varying states of upkeep (and many hotel names have changed). I believe Hotel Carnival is now some sort of auto shop...which is a really weird place for an auto shop. Hotel Arcadia was mentioned...that's still there and I drove around it a few weeks ago...it definitely looks old.

Wow...this is awesome. In 1986, I was in the 8th grade. Attending Kubasaki Highschool. Man, I used to get high on Bron, go to the Sega arcade by the McDonalds and play video games all day after school. My dad was a Major in the Marine Corps and we lived in Plaza Housing. My friends and I used to go to the love motels and break into cars and steal shit. Money, jewelry, etc. I was only 14 at the time. This really brings back memories. Thank you.

私が住んでいた1970年代から、泡瀬地区は大きく変化しています。最後に見たのは、1980年代です。当時、泡瀬に住んでいた人たちの多くは、あまり豊かではなかった。実業家が土地を買い、あの恐ろしいホテルを建てたのですそれで結構な収入を得ていた。でも、地元の沖縄の人たちは恩恵を受けなかった。

At that time, Okinawa was returned to Japan and color television was widespread. One of them was RBC Ryukyu Broadcasting, which was the only broadcasting station in Okinawa that was broadcast only by NTV. Broadcast every Thursday at 7:55, while on OTV Okinawa TV, it was broadcast from 1:00 pm on Saturday, but broadcast from Tuesday 15:50-16:50 * Tokoro George (Tokoro George, 1955 January 26-) is a Japanese folk singer, singer-songwriter, comedian, and actor. He has a real name: Takayuki Haga, and a maiden name: Kakuda. He is married. After graduating from Kinjo High School in Kodaira City, he went on to the Faculty of Commerce at Takushoku University on the recommendation of open recruitment, but forgot to pay the tuition fees and was removed from the register as unpaid tuition fees. He called himself a "singer song comedian" and made his debut in the entertainment world as a musician and comedian. After that, he has multiple crown programs as a talent representing Japan. As mentioned
