Western Children watched anime with SONY tv

DEJA VU I JUST BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE

Are you a retard?
80s and 90s Japan was not only the second largest economy but it had the highest per capita which even beat rich microstates and nordics.
Plus, Japanese economy has never been an export oriented one.

>Japanese economy has never been an export oriented one.
???

Sexiest motorcycle of the 80s was made in Japan.
Best decade in anime history.
Nice pop music.
Soviet artists had concerts in Japan.
The economical bublle growth.
American car industry got BTFO in the same decade.

...

That's a typical misunderstanding about Japanese economy. Japan might have been a powerful exporter, but it's always a small part of economy. Japan's trade dependency is among the lowest in the world.

...

>Yamaha
No. Just no.

There was cool disco and pop music. Yasuha is my favorite. Society speculated that Japan would overtake the US economy, the hype was greater than the current China will overtake the US economy in 10 years hype. Japan was the wealthiest nation in the world. Husbands would buy expensive jewelry for girls in their first date. Stocks and real estate prices soared. PC98 and 88 dominated the videogames (read: eroge) scene. There was no internet but BBS forums. Dakimakura, dollfies and other things did not exist, much less was anime and manga anyhow popular in the West. Noticeably less foreigners and cleaner streets. Otaku culture wasn't so big.
