TOKYO - Japanese disco fans hit the dance floor and partied like it was 1989, reliving the glitz of the “bubble economy” heyday that defined the early years of the outgoing Heisei imperial era.
New Emperor Naruhito’s reign begins Wednesday, ushering in the Reiwa imperial era, meaning “beautiful harmony.” Inada brought for the occasion a white feather fan, a must-have accessory in the bubble days that she had held on to since then. That exuberance fueled Japan’s nightlife, with discos like Maharaja and Juliana’s becoming a symbol of the fun and excess of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s go-go years.
