Partial Transcript

Back in 2016, I discovered the answer to a question that nobody knew. “What Was Yume Kojo?” An event held in Japan in, all the way back in 1987. Most people know of the term “Yume Kojo” but for some reason, no one on Earth can explain any detail of it, whatsoever.
I took things into my own hands, did the proper research and turned that into a video. For thousands, it was a revelation! People from all over the world offered their thanks and shared their thoughts and opinions on this amazing discovery. It was all I ever asked for.
Among all the thanks, There was one thing that many said. And that was… more! Tell us more!!
Despite covering all the bases, there was still a large amount of information left on the cutting room floor.
Also since 2016, people who actually went to Yume Kojo have told me about their experiences and offered personal photos and video of the event, encouraging me to share these memories with the world! Archival sources have turned up other found footage since then as well.
So, let’s do something special! Let’s revisit Yume Kojo! Expand the story, show off new, never before seen footage, and leave no detail behind!

Yume Kojo opened to the public on July 18th, 1987, with locations in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. The event was held for 44 days that summer, celebrating the limitless possibilities of a future full of progress. Technological demonstrations that were experimental in 1987, but were expected to become mainstream by the 21st Century were seen by million that Summer. To compliment that, there were live concerts, celebrity meet and greets, and all kinds of food. It was an amusement park, music festival and World’s Fair all rolled into one. And, as a peculiar point, the event was organized by a Japanese Media company: Fuji Sankei Group, known today as Fuji Media. Why would a broadcaster do such a grand thing? How was it even possible to orchestrate an event of such a spectacular scale?

It all goes back to a man named Haruo Shikanai, Chairman of Fuji Sankei Group. There were many others involved, but through his leadership, Yume Kojo went from an idea, to reality.
