You know you are missing Japan when it's 3am and you are listening to the Yamanote sounds to remember how nice it was.

This is the Yamanote-line train bound for Tokyo and Shinagawa. The next station is Okachimachi. The doors on the left side will open. Please change here for the Oedo subway line

"We didn't realize we were making memories. We just knew we were having fun." these chimes bring tears

I just came back from Japan and was PRAYING and HOPING that someone would have posted this somewhere and here it is. I am so happy now. Thank you so much. I miss Japan already.

These sounds make me feel sick with nostalgia. My stomach actually flipped when I heard the first one. Friendship, laughter, adventure. Beautiful, neon drenched memories of hot summer nights in Tokyo. Take me back.

step one: listen to this step two: realize you won't be able to hear it live in quite a long time or ever again step three: lie down and cry

The music was composed by Minoru Mukaiya, the former keyboardist of the Japanese Jazz Fusion band Casiopea.

3:39 Imagine all the Japanese business men collectively getting their PTSD triggered on the subway when they hear this.

4:46 is very memorable.

Holy crap, this just makes me miss Tokyo even more!

Nostalgic. I was in Japan for 3 years and always hear these tunes. Although I don’t recognise some of the tunes but the tokyo one gives me an amazing nostalgic feeling. The last time i heard the tune was when i was going to ride a train to narita.

外国人→東京が恋しくなる思い出の音😊 東京都民→通勤時の地獄の音😩

I moved from Japan and I cried listening to this

Went to Japan with my cousin in january and getting back to Akihabara after a long day of exploring Tokyo and hearing that beautiful jingle made it so much more perfect. One of the most memorable trips i’ve ever taken anywhere

OH GOD THIS IS THE BEST THING I HEARD DURING MY TRIP TO JAPAN, I MISS THIS SO MUCH.

6:20 I like this distinctive music

My favorite is the Gotonda station tingle (4:58 in the video). I have that tune in my head for years. And love the modulation

4:33 looks like we've taken a train from Japan to Hawaii.

Harajuku station's music will always make me as excited and happy as I was when I got off at Harajuku for the first time.

Each time I listen to these soundtracks my heart skips a beat. I miss Tokyo so much

I just love all the sounds and voices on Japan trains they are uplifting ! and also the pedestrian crossing chirping sound !

There are keyrings with these train station music in Akihibara. I love, love, love Japan a lot.

Got back a few weeks ago, stayed with my buddy in Gotanda. That jingle is stuck in my head 😂. I miss Japan. Can't wait to go back.

I live in Japan right now and hear these everyday!

5:22 the one sound I heard every single day for a week

I had a night where I didn't have anywhere to stay in Shinjuku because there were no available hotels, I had to wait hours walking around and when I finally catch the first train around 4:15am~ I was really happy and glad to be able to listen the Shinjuku jingle, it is my favorite one so far.

This is what I miss about Japan! The Tokyo JR music. I remember taking the trains around Tokyo in June 2019. I somewhat still miss Tokyo, Japan even though I loved it. I was there 4 times before

Absolutely balling my eyes out while watching this. I did a 1 month trip to Japan in March/April and then visited again for another day during a layover all this year. I miss Japan so much already. God damnit...

I loved hearing these sounds when I was in Japan 2 years ago. I really want to go back.

Just returned from Japan too, I LOVE the tunes that sound before a train arrives, so awesome

This is the best! I remember the Gotanda/Yurakucho theme from my time on the Yamanote Line. JR is a great, timely, and affordable way to get around Japan. I can't wait to go back.

6:20 JR-SH2 My Favorite Departure Melody!

This makes me miss Japan so much. Much love from the USA!

Ebisu ( 4:33 ) sounds like something straight from Mario Party 7

Hearing the train music was one of my favorite things on my visit to Japan.

Missing Japan so much now. Can't wait to return

Been to Japan for vacation 4 times in 7 years, it's not enough damn it.

wow i thought i was weird for looking this up but it seems everyone in the comments is bonding over the same thing. i love japan and all the little things. thanks for the awesome video

No joke I'm even trying to recall the announcement when listening to it!

ive never been to japan this was randomly recommended to me how tf does this make me remember memories i've never had these sound so nostalgic

I miss this part of Tokyo lol! The trains singing to you.hahah

You know being there was good when hearing this put a large smile on your face

3:22 Takadanobaba has a special place in my heart. It's where my hotel was, and I had been hearing it for full week, after a long day exploring and belly full of either ramen or sushi. Such warmth. But not after the hellish shin-okubo every damn time lol

The Tokyo Station sound was the first sound I heard after leaving the Narita express on Shibuya Station during my first day ever in Japan. After hearing these sounds so many times on youtube before going to Japan, there and then I was thinking to myself: Finally, this is for real! After all these years, I'm finally here!

Ebisu sounds like it came straight out of animal crossing

I Love Japan! Just been to Tokyo last week and it was awesome! Thanks for uploading this. 😊

These tones generally intend to relax or alert people, depending on the situation. It’s tricky to alert people and not sound ignorable or the intent misinterpreted. Japan nails this. We need national railways to be the norm here in the US.

YESS I MISS THIS JAPAN MUSIC

So many memories from my travel to Tokyo to hear them again. Thanks!

I just came back from living for over two years in Yokosuka. I took the Yamanote line to Harajuku and Shinjuku very often. I miss Japan so much.

Can't wait to go back after covid, it doesn't seem like it was long ago I went but it's already been over a year. Crazy how time flies like that.

Studies showed it actually saves lives to create light and fun melodies in the station atmosphere.

I really missed Tokyo

1:22 uguisidani station. That was the station I caught when I stayed at a unit in uguisidani through Airbnb. Beautiful little suburb close to everything. But Shibuya and Akihabara were my favourite stations/suburbs. Sigh. But I live in crappy Brisbane where our trains are super old and slow, and travel at a snails pace compared to Japan. And nothing is decorated or sounds as beautifully as in Japan. QQ. But thank you for sharing. This was great nostalgia. XD

Brings me back times when I was in Japan. ☺

My favorite thing to do on hot summer nights was do a bike ride around the Yamanote line just so I could hear the jingles. I'd start at Shin Okubo and go all the away around.

Man, I legit get tears just listening to these jingles reminiscing the good times in Tokyo ❤🎌

3:48 I heard this in the last train at 1:00 am... being drunk 🥺✨

5:22 I wasn’t too far from the Shinagawa station all three times I’ve stayed there.. I recently got back three days ago..

I went to Japan as my first overseas trip a few months ago and stayed at an airbnb in Takadanobaba. I could sing along to the jingles I'm actually going to cry.

I Miss japan too..beautiful memory..love japan

This brings back all the memories I had in Japan!!!

A good way to remember Tokyo. I missed Tokyo!

I used to travel from Shibuya to Shinjuku every single day for a month. I did not mind the crowded stations because the jingles made it all so funny! God,​ I really miss Japan now T_T

2:11 Imagine living in Komagome and hearing that every day as a salary-man returning home.

Always dreamed of Going to Japan and Wanting to take the trains there and hearing every single station chime. I hope to go soon with my family 👪 someday. God Japanese Trains are so Cool.

Its something that I have not given a second thought, these station melodies.

i wish american train stations had sounds like this. then i'd ride the train to campus

Shimbashi was where my hotel was. I loved that sound and it hurts my heart a lot. I miss Tokyo a lot

The melody of the Yamanote line is good! It's so good with all the famous songs!

Hearing this and the ANA boarding music (Another sky) breaks my heart with nostalgia. I visited Japan once in 2018 and have missed it Every Single Day afterwards. I already started to miss it when I boarded the plane in Narita. Unfortunately, I still could not return due to several reasons (Covid and personal).

I miss traveling in Tokyo when hearing these beauties 😊

Ueno be like: 📞📞📞📞

I live in japan rn and these sound nostalgic haha maybe cause I came to Japan for a few times when I was a kid and heard these When I go out now and hear em I don’t feel the same but when I watch the sounds on KZfaq they feel nostalgic

I heard the last one every night at Asakusbashi when I was staying there, it was the theme tune to many nights after long days of exploring Tokyo......Wish I was there now.

I am studying abroad in Osaka, but the Tokyo Station jingle always gets me pumped to explore Kansai Japan.

This is why we have KZfaq. Thank you. ありがとうございます。

every time i hear this i think of the millions of vending machines on the train stations ps: who likes pocari sweat and calpis?

If it wasn't for covid and KZfaq knowing we miss Japan so much I bet this video wouldn't have appeared on my recommendations.

I love Ebisu 😍 04:32

That's another way memories abound of my two visits to Japan as a kid (9 and 12). We rode these trains a LOT-Mom took 'em to work during the day working for the Japanese equivalent of a chemical information firm she worked at back home, whereas Dad and I took 'em knocking around town, particularly Shibuya and Harajuku. One thing, though: I think you got the Ebisu and Gotanda sounds mixed up, as I clearly remember hearing the Gotanda music at the Ebisu station.

I remember the scorching august heat from hearing this, holding a bottle of peach water from the supermarket, squeezing into the car with people on their phones

Thanks for sharing Pulse. Now I need to go to Japan so this can be nostalgic

I just arrived home from Tokyo today… how I miss the jingles already 😭💔 2 weeks go by too fast.

3:22 my fav music station

4:32 Welcome to Hawaii

I stayed in komagome for a while,i loved it so much,the music of that station really brings out some deep nostalgia

I was 10 years old when i heard the jingle for the first time. It brings back so many memories of japan and my old self🥹

Went to Japan in April-May and Shinjuku and Yoyogi, Nippori, Shibuya sounds are literally reviving the memories in my head 😌😢

Thanks to Covid its gonna be a long time until a lot of us hear these in person again. :(

This is why japan is AWESOME

I like how those jingles are in microtonic scales and nice job! Tokyo metro

3:22 Astro Boy!!

Came from The Big Story hoping someone have upload a collection of Japan's train station melodies .

I loved this music when I was in the subway in shimbashi with my wife. That day we went to Kamakura and we were so tired coz we walked a lot and it was one of these moments when you realize that you had so much fun but you will go back to real life again, when I went back to Egypt i told her that I miss everything the music of the subway and when we found this on KZfaq we decided to put it in my car while I’m driving

I'm looking for this... Thankz youuu, i just came back from japan in October, and miss this ost from Yamanote Line...

I live in japan and every time I wake up, the only thing stuck in my head is the Tokyo Station jingle!! (That is the closest station to my apartment)
