I don't know if Deaks experienced it but I commuted in the Tokyo suburbs in the seventies and eighties, first to school, later on to work.

The famed YouTube video is from 1990 when many trains were still over 200% capacity. None of the lines these days see more than 200% with the most crowded spots at 198%. (yeah, that's still pretty bad)

In the seventies, some trains saw more than 300% at times and windows broke due to pressure from human bodies. (and most trains had no A/C back them)
