Odd request

Postby Sockstuff » Fri Apr 20, 2007 5:47 am

I don't know if anyone can help me with this - my google skills are crapping out on me.

I visited Japan a year ago and heard something whilst I was there that I have just remembered. I now need this for a project I am involved in.

I'm after some of the music that is played in some of the JR railway stations in Tokyo when a train pulls up. I seems to remember each station had its own jingle. If I am correct in remembering each station has its own jingle, I particularly need the jingles for the following JR stations:

Harajuku
Shinjuku
Shibuya
Ueno

I may be completely incorrect in thinking that each station had its own tune, if they do not just some of the tunes that are played at stations for this particular action would be so handy for me.

I know this is a rather odd request, but this seemed to be a good place to ask (I've been a lurker for about 4 months now)!

Here's a couple of my favorite JR noise pollution sites:

Consult this old FG thread for links to websites with train jingles and announcements.
