In Chiba there's one with a freaky voice telling the kids to be careful on their way home or something...it's scary. Like something straight out of silent hill.

hey atleast they care about their citizens not like here in america, disaster strikes, no one tells u, and its every man for themselves, and they use the siren noise not this lovely tune

[ChrisDeegan]

Well done! These speaker systems are a menace to anyone who likes peace and quiet. However, particularly in rural districts, they are a convenient way of telling the Japanese to be careful of fire, to vote on election day, to watch over young children returning from school, to be on the lookout for senile people who have gone walkabout, to wear seatbelts when driving, and so on. Whether or not they can be useful in the event of a major earthquake is another matter.
