Well, speaking of Akihabara, it is often called "the sacred place of the otaku world", and its recognition is recognized not only in Japan but also in various countries around the world. Since when did this impression take root in Akihabara? This time, I would like to introduce the origin and history of Akihabara becoming a sacred place in the otaku world. Let's learn about Akihabara, which is loved by people all over the world with my point of view and brief introduction, and touch more about the goodness of Akihabara.

From the city of home appliances to the city of computers.
In the past, after the end of World War II, Akihabara was called "the city of electricity" including street stalls centered on radio parts, but there is another event that changes the situation. That was the "oil shock" in 1973. The more you look into it, the more you will be reminded of it, but it seems that the impact of the oil shock in the past had a great impact on various industries and cultures. In particular, it is an indispensable kward for the transition of the city of Akihabara. The impact of Japan was greatly affected by the economic recession, so the sales of home appliances continued to be a difficult period. Under such circumstances, the new product that has emerged is "personal computer". At that time, personal computers had not been popular for a long time, so it was quite a maniac and a product that required specialized knowledge. On the other hand, Akihabara also sold radio parts, so we will make use of this maniac knowledge and customer base to focus on selling personal computers. In the meantime, I visited "Bubble Collapse". As a result, while many home appliance stores have been forced to close, Akihabara, which was focusing on computers, has changed to be known as a "computer town" with computer culture. There are many points to respect for the people at that time who always faced the times and adopted the latest! As a result, you can understand the greatness of the city of Akihabara by learning history.
"The sacred place of the otaku world" The birth of Akihabara.
"The sacred place of the otaku world" The birth of Akihabara Akihabara evolved from "the city of electricity" to "the city of personal computers". Now, the "Akihabara area" continues to develop and expand with the enhancement of public transportation. Many games have appeared in Japan, where personal computers have become the mainstream. Similarly, it has become an era where you can enjoy games of various genres such as anime, beautiful girls, military, etc. In Akihabara, we specialized in computers, so we tried to incorporate games that can be played on the computer as a matter of course. As a result, people who like games and people who are looking for anime goods that have become the subject of games have concentrated in Akihabara, and it has come to be called the current "sacred place of the otaku world". Nowadays, various goods are sold, and we have succeeded in gaining so much popularity that it can be used all over the world. The background of this title of "sacred place of the otaku world" is the result of many people having a hard time since ancient times and gradually enlivening the area. Akihabara, the "sacred place of the otaku world" loved all over the world. I hope that those who don't like anime and games so much will be able to convey the passion of their predecessors.
What I think about Akihabara.
I also have a lot of things to think about when I go to the current Akihabara. It's hard to say that it's the generation that knows the peak, but I feel like I was wrapped in an exciting heat while walking in a more cluttered city. I'm lonely now anyway. There are quite a lot of people in the street, but ... There are many tenants who have lost the stores that used to be crowded and have become "rental stores". Online shopping is the mainstream and there are few queues. But good things remain, and new trends can also be seen. A city that shakes emotions every time I explore, such as the store I went to is gone, or the signboard of the restaurant has changed and I am surprised. Akihabara. Even if the sacred place of anime has changed and there are no shadows to see, there are many bloggers and YouTubers who have firmly told future generations what existed there. How reassuring! However, even those who operated the YouTube channel that Kumao liked, the video upload was interrupted due to the stress of the times ... but I think it is very terrible for some people to continue to carry it. I'm a super light ota, and I don't have the awareness that I'm in a very detailed category. But I'm going to do this blog with a little effort so that even such people can share their roles little by little and leave it in the world. On the comprehensive portal site, articles are concentrated on the latest anime and events, and most of them will be, but Kumao will secretly tell you important things and write an article that can help anyone a little. I will write from a good article at the beginning, but I will tell you firmly! I hope I can write such a thing in an article slowly little by little.
