Wow, this is very weird. This is the place of the Hiroshima bombing. Yeah. And these people were there before and took the picture. Yeah

That's so crazy. Imagine-imagine their life.

仮定法&仮定法現在

I wonder if there-if it has the radiation.

Hey guys, it's Mikan, and I'm here today with Hirokazu.

Today we're going to be looking at basically these really really old photos we have. We're not entirely sure how old they are yet,

but apparently Hirokazu is very good at knowing these things

So he's going to be able to point out around what area he thinks it was.

So the reason I brought Hirokazu here is actually because Hirokazu is really into history

Like you just generally love-you love old buildings, you love old clothes, you love old people

I just love those things. Yeah, you love to like experience history for yourself. Yeah. So this was a really interesting thing I thought-

Cause like basically I found out that my coworker..she collects old pictures, and then I was like, oh my gosh

And so I thought it would be a really nice idea to actually show you guys and look through them together.

So that was the background behind this video. Yes

But yeah, when I look at old pictures and stuff

it's so weird to me to think like, those are like real people. Do you get what I mean?

Do you know what I mean? Yeah, it feels like..yeah, I can't even imagine like how they look like and like how they lived

Or how they acted on like a day-to-day basis. Yeah, and sometimes I even doubt like they were actually existing

Yeah, it really it was like they were not even like people? Yeah, yeah, yeah

But when you look back at pictures like this.. like we've got some albums and stuff-

It's like we get to have a peek into their life.

So first of all, when we ordered these we got them off Yahoo auction.

And I actually asked you to not show me them and just choose them yourself.

So I wouldn't know anything about them before. Just because I want this to be like a completely raw reaction

Like obviously I can see a little bit- the ones in front of me here,

But I haven't actually looked through them and we've had them like in a bag for a really long time. Like hidden away

Yeah. No chance to look cause i'm so excited about this. I want to like really fully experience it on camera

Also i'd like to say that this is going to have a lot of war stuff just because there was war,

While these pictures were being taken. And so we don't want this to be any kind of like social commentary or anything like that

This is just the way that the war and life was for these people through their angle.

So this is completely just from their perspective like we're not here to be like this is right, this is wrong.

We're just looking at how things work for them from their perspective. Yeah, we don't have any intention to argue about things like that.

Yeah. Yeah, but also like do you think that there's a specific kind of family that would be able to have cameras back then?

Umm back then, especially like Japanese people..they couldn't afford to get this kind of a very nice camera

So I think this family is quite well off. Yeah

So we feel like these are kind of like upper middle class families. Yeah.

But isn't it so crazy that people would just auction these off? Like imagine having this of like your ancestors? I know

Yeah, I don't know- I don't know why did like- you know just

I know, that's so beautiful. Some of these are such nice quality from what I can see here as well. Yeah

I specifically asked him to get albums that have writing in them.

Because I want to see like what they thought about these pictures themselves when they took them.

So I'm so excited! Let's start by looking through...

Do you want to start by looking through the pile of pictures? Or do you wanna start by looking through the albums?

Let's get there later. You want to do this first? Yeah,

Um, he's wearing the..it's a very specific one, which is called umm-

Knife on the like top of the- gun? Gun, Yeah

Yeah, it is scary.. because.. back then, like, like all soldiers used to use this one.

Or 20's. Like end of the 20's. Really? Yeah, it is very old

The way he looks in the picture is really like.. not definitely 40's

This is such a beautiful picture! I know yes. This is such a beautiful picture!

This looks like it could be in Ghibli like- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah,yeah, Yeah, I know what you mean. It's like-

It feels like the character in lobster and stuff. Yeah, he's using some, some-

I think, yeah definitely. He's the sol- yeah

*unintelligible* *I have  no clue what they're talking about..srry ^-^

And the place where it has the bridge.. like the, the huge * ? *
