Everyday Life in Tokyo from 1913-1915: The rare footage you see captures daily life in Tokyo just

Everyday Life in Tokyo from 1913-1915: The rare footage you see captures daily life in Tokyo just after the death of Emperor Meiji in 1912. During Meiji's reign from 1868-1912, Japan rapidly transformed from a feudal, isolationist state to a modern industrial power through the Meiji Restoration. This drastic change was sparked by Commodore Matthew Perry of the U.S. Navy, who arrived in Japan in 1853 demanding trade relations, backed by the threat of force. To avoid colonization by Western powers like China suffered in the Opium Wars, Japan quickly adopted Western technology, practices and culture. The samurai class lost power as Japan built a modern military for self-defense. In 1902, Japan broke new ground allying with Britain against Russia's regional expansion. This paid off in 1905 when Japan stunned the world by defeating Russia in the Russo-Japanese War. Meiji's efforts propelled Japan's international emergence. The bustling Tokyo streets reveal a society embracing modernity while retaining traditional elements. This rare color footage offers a window into daily life in Japan at a pivotal transitional period. Restored by: Denis Shiryaev Ambient audio: Guy Jones

On 26 Feb 2020, Twitch streamer Rob Dee in Tokyo helped a distressed woman escape a stranger by pretending to know her during a live stream. Noticing her discomfort, Rob acted as her friend, providing her a safe exit from the situation. Rob, a 29-year-old 'IT guy' living in Tokyo, explained: "I was streaming outside the kebab shop in Tokyo, explaining my equipment. "I noticed a girl (and a guy I thought to be her partner) walking past. She looked at me somewhat distressed, then I heard her say, 'Sorry, I'm here with my friend'. I didn't know her at all so, I thought it was strange, but I decided to play along since she looked troubled. "I realised she was looking for an escape from this guy, so I introduced myself to him and tried to end the conversation quickly without drama. "After he left, she mentioned to me that she felt in danger as she is a tourist here in Japan, so she was grateful for my help."
