TOOOOOBB

I miss these songs so much. I found an album that uses some of these train melodies: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6qndnuGi7J0iqs

6 doors car...

Simply aviation

I love the melody they play at train station, I was staying in Tamachi which is on the Yanmote line...great place to stay when in tokyo close to everything and this train line as person who uploaded video it will get you to all the famous places in tokyo.

Nostalgic..

Awesome. Japan is cool. Can i become a citizen aha

Brings back memories 😌 spent my childhood around this area

Was that Meguro station? I'm staying there at the moment :-)

I think the stations of the Yamanote Line have about 30-40 different tunes; you can hear a particular tune at several stations along the Yamanote-sen. I love them so much, I bought a CD from Amazon Japan that has them all - and I've converted them to ringtones. :) Going back soon, I cannot wait...

That's probably Namboku line of Tokyo Metro. You can find some jingles on KZbin b

Had such a wonderful time in Golden Gai!

It's a Departure Melody

This is what I call’Fly on the Wall video'

That song freaked me out the first time I heard it...

you now you can update your info. The yamanote line is a circular above ground train run by the JR east company, it is no way a subway as it never goes underground...

@lordblazer it goes in a long oval

今まで何度も！

perfect atmosphere with the rain pattering and the clinking of glass. would love to visit here one day

Sigh I miss you Japan.

did the singer habe a heartattack while he was singing hmmm?

When you say you splurged >.> how much. <--- plans to go for a visit some day(japan...not this inn specifically lol)

Reminds me of when I went to the Kasbah in Morocco, but instead of of beggars and people trying to sell hash, you've got neon lights and people trying to sell highly decorative raw fish! Love hidden little areas like this, the narrow streets of the Kasbah were full of atmosphere, and this looks like a step into bladerunner!

so clean!

well actually the Yamanote line kinda goes in a square. It goes to every major district in Tokyo pretty much. From Shinjuku to Shibuya from Shibuya to Shimigawa. FRom Shimigawa to Akihabara, from Akihabara to Ueno, Tokyo eki etc etc... It take sno longer than 20 mins to get to where you want to be. Trains are always on time, and only delay due to suicide XD

I've never had a problem either (though I don't think you'll find lots of English speakers if that's what you're hoping). I don't think it's a mispronunciation of "guy" either. The gai part is kanji（街） that means neighborhood/area.

Cool! The first thing I noticed when we went to Tokyo for the first time were the little tunes in the Subway stations. There is still one that I hum every now and then. I wish I could find it....I don't remember which train line it was on...

oh my i can hear japanese god lol

did u get a prize, did u understand the lady? lol

I think I can see you filming LOL it does sound like to harmonies converging but they do beautifully like they complement each other Im from NYC where the subs dont feature tunes this beautiful so peaceful sweet and serene I love it If I had to hear that all day long I'd be blissfully happy. We do have performers though through out subs and topside showcasing their talents all over even odd little corners That was a very nice THank You ^_^

Kaiten?

The video is from Shinagawa. The two overlapping melodies are Seseragi (Stream) - this is quite common, especially on Yamanote, and Umi no chikai eki (Station close to the sea) - this is I guess special for Shinagawa. These melodies are departure - they are played as a warning for the passangers to quickly board the train, just before "doa ga shimarimasu, gochuui kudasai" - watch out, the doors are closing! As for Astro Boy, it's a theme song of Takadanobaba.

Yeah, there's no "locals only / no foreigners" vibe at all here. Maybe one or two out of the couple hundred. We walked right into a few and they had no problem chatting with us. One of them we even stayed in till about six in the morning the night before halloween. The bartender and his friends were taking pictures with us wearing samurai hat mask things. Great fun and don't be intimidated!

Magical!

Wow! So many memories... The theme at Ikebukuro station is from Astro Boy...

Hi, thanks for sharing. Am looking for ryokans for a 2-night stay in Kyoto, and your clip has certainly helped in my decision on which one to choose :)

Augh, that song gets on my nerves...

I found it pretty easy to just open a door and ask if I could come in. The cover charges are pricey though.

Wonderful video. A very intimate view of the goings on in the street and its bars. Just beautiful. I especially like these type of streets when its been raining.

I wish I ever could do that...i would just get my own shuriken out and throw :p. At that distance, I would just be looking at what prizes I would get.(Hope for some of those shuriken, to ass to my collection)

ha! that's excellent!

wow. i thought nyc was claustrophobic! that's rad.
