quite interesting indeed. I'm in japan for four years now and this is the first publicity of amiga I've ever seen. nearly all japanese are oblivious to the existance of amiga, except a few retronerds.

he's talking about demoscene in general, parties, how this culture is absent in japan and stuff. the program seems very old though, cause he's talking about how internet is an expensive thing and expensive telephone bills :)

Really cool to watch, but yeah its old.  They are running amiga 1.3 and the SpaceBalls dance demo is from 1992.  I still have that one lol.  Cheers!!!

Wow, I'm feeling all natsukashii watching this chap waxing lyrical about the demo scene.

Lovely ;)

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

I remember seeing once in an old issue of a "popular science" magazine (Focus) a photo depicting the room of a japanese computer geek, overfilled with computer, cables and magazines.  In a corner you could easily spot an open floppy holder with some Amiga Format floppies ^^

So those retronerds are ahead of their time?

It almost sounded like snow playing in the background...
just before the kickstart 1.3 appears on screen....
is it really snow?
