I've noticed in watching lots of the videos and pictures I've seen of Japan is the absolutely crazy mess the overhead power lines seem to be in Japan. I've only ever seen something like it in a few other places, but even then it seems to be fairly rare.

If you look at street scenes from urban areas in the West, you don't really see this, but even in Tokyo you see tons of overhead powerlines.

I was hoping to see a video on this phenomenon!

Thanks for the great forum and awesome videos!

TheJapanChannel Youtube channel page has a search box.
A quick search found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOwq49dVPHM

oh wow, I couldn't find this at all. I was looking for power line or electric lines or something.

I still wish there was some discussion. There are places in the North East of the U.S. that are as dense but don't have the power line craziness.

Thanks for looking though!

There is considerable discussion in the comment section under that video, and there is not much more to add.
There are lots of power lines in Japan
