all aboard....the train is leaving!
For any of you who have been on the trains around Tokyo, these should "ring a bell"!!

These are the chimes that are played for JR East trains, when they are going to close the doors...

YouTube - JR東—œ …™Šƒƒ*ƒ‡‚ƒƒƒ‰ƒƒ

this person has gone through and figured out how to play them on the piano!! (a nice Steinway and Sons at that!!)

(On yamanote line---the one that circles Tokyo, each station has its own chime....my last office was in Ebisu, which is where they still brew Yebisu beer....so the chime for that station, was actual the jingle that is used in the beer commercials!)
