[computacion2002]

Thankyou photojpn, this video has made remember the unforgettable trip to Tokyo . Thank you.

[AndreDevecserii]

The commuter rail network of Tokyo is INSANE!!! After 3 months of learning the confusing pattern shifts in my head I still almost got lost several times. Good that at least one line isn't that bad.

[qricketvid]

I miss living in Tokyo!!

[mbmorrison]

I want to go to Japan and meet all my anime girlfriends irl!!

[manao501]

It brings back good memories ... I just wanna go back to Tokyo now ^^

[amazingwave]

Like everyone else the song that plays at each station bring backs memories. miss Japan so much!

[talkyr]

@photojpn the yellow line is something we see in the Netherlands too except for the color that's different, it's still bumpy ^_^

[MIGHTYXD]

Wow!!

This takes me back; hearing those melodies again really brings back fond memories of Japan. I was on the verge of crying; I thought I’ll never hear these melodies again.

After listening to these melodies I feel like I’m in Tokyo, standing on the Yamanote line platform.

I really want to be in Japan right now. I miss Japan so much!

Thanks for sharing this, hugely appreciated!



[Careline18]

;____; I miss it so much ~~~~

[nellilove13]

brings back memories :)))

[columhcille]

/cry I miss Japan.! You guys are right. It does bring back memories. This just makes me miss it more!!! I cried when i had to leave Japan; I didn't want to go back home!!

[pepposole]

@columhcille me too =(

[ariffkrk2]

wahh..march.. i was in Tokyo last March.. those announcements brings back memories.. sigh... i miss Tokyo and the yamanote line

[Larsky1010]

From the speed it has attained by the time it leaves the platform this train appears to have an amazing rate of acceleration.

[OneAwesomeOpossum]

Sometimes I watch these videos to relax and to remind me of being back in Japan. It encourages me to do what I can to return for a longer period of time.

Thanks for uploading. Like you said, mundane scenes seem to be treasured the most.

[RedShadow1917]

The DC Metro has those "bumps" too but they are red not yellow.

[dryan5]

The sounds are so iconic. Hearing them brings me right back there, it makes me want to go back.

[alonetokyo1]

@dryan5 agree me too

[iwa01318]

just like circle line in London

[photojpn]

Golly, I cannot believe how popular this video has become. Over 100,000 views?? Amazing how the most mundane scenes of Japan are treasured the most.

[bigredhon]

@photojpn agree with you..

[MGOotaku]

Wow!!!! The music they play & the lady/man speaking sooo nostolgic!!!! :D

[Marcelim02]

Forget the bullet train, forget shinjuku, forget Roppongi... nothing is more Tokyo-ish than the yamanote line.

[Marcelim02]

I love these yamanote cars. The announcement song, the sound of the train. the interior, the green tinted glasses, the lcd screens, etc.

[jamira120]

5番線から丸の内方面に撮影かな?

[colbertLOTR91]

OMG the announcements and the tune that starts before the announcemnt bring back good memories

[GlobetrekkerYYC]

Totally, instant flashback to my trip to Japan!

[JALAirNZQantas]

@colbertLOTR91 yep!

[tubetubes]

Oh, same here got back from Tokyo on Monday june 8th. I stayed at Shinagawa for 40 days. I wish we had a Yamanote JR Line in Phoenix. Going back soon...

[dangerbay06]

Just got back from Tokyo this morning. Is it lame that I'm watching this and already missing it?

I miss hearing all the names of the stops.. Uguisudani, Ikebukuro, Takadanobaba, Komagome (where they played the Sakura themed chime).. Tokyo is so amazing. I can't wait to go back!

[Marloch]

not lame at all, i just got back from tokyo yesterday hah. yamanote line was very handy, cant get lost when youre going in a circle.. :D

[manbdh]

Tokyo Station is so BUSY !!!!

Every time, no matter day or night, peoples are walking like they are in the rush.....

Huge station too.... I remember had to walk more then five minutes to reach other platform (the one goes to Disneland)

[itsumonihon]

if you think tokyo is busy try visiting shinjuku or shibuya some time, ah and do it on a friday evening just to be safe..!

[ExpressionOfMe]

Id get so sick of hearing that stupid tune each day

[fnchrstphr]

That tune is one of my favorite memories of Tokyo. I wish our trains and subways had that tune!

[fnchrstphr]

That tune is one of my best memories of Tokyo.

[b2010830]

これは誰が得する動画なんだ・・・

[noumanketsugou]

得するとかそういうことではない

外国に旅行に行った経験はお持ちで？

東京に住む人にとっては日常的であっても、

外の人間にとっては見ること聞くこと全てが非日常なんだよ。

別に日本国内に限ったって同じこと。

興味があるかないか、それだけだ

[svy71]

@noumanketsugou

まさしくその通りだ。

[eyesonvoi]

aww....I really miss taking the yamanote line. I took everyday from my station. I loved the lines that are one the platform to indicate the doors of the train and where one should wait.

Thanks for uploading!

[Sanosuke004]

When the chorus ends thats the time the doors close in preparation to depart. I can't hear this music so I have to be quick when I board the Yamanote line!

[tezzz12]

such a pleasant experience! I truly am in love with Japan

[itsacorporatething]

damn fast! America is far behind in transportation than Europe and especially Japan.

[aug410804]

Yes, I agree. The railway system in Japan is excellent. I also have very good experience on taking railway in Japan which gives me lots of good memories (including the people I've met in the trains and the stations). But I also may want to point out that in North America, people drive a lot and they take flights for long distance travels. That's why the railway systems in there are not fully developed. That is, the living styles are not the same.

[Bemanilover]

This video makes me miss the vacation I had in Tokyo last month.

[vanilla1878]

EXTRA!!!!!!!!

[shinsenkira]

Its like I'm really there in that station. I love Tokyos train station. I like the music they play as a warning for passengers for the train door to close.

[ALSTOMVVVFIGBT]

I am curious how cost Level 3 IGBT in E231 Trains. I guess it is expensive.

[XxMarchingSnarexX]

I seriously like Yamanote Line VVVF Sound better than others... Sobu E231 serious has similar one but the sound gets cut off when train stops

[XxMarchingSnarexX]

oops meant "series"

[Linguistmm44]

I was there just two days ago and rode the Yamanote line. There is very little difference between peak and off-peak in Tokyo

[PuertoRican88]

are those train commuter rails or subways, they look like the 75 foot NYC subway trains in new york?

[hondatooru]

Commuter trains. In Japan (and in much of East Asia, e.g. Hong Kong) there's not much difference in design between commuter trains and subways. Commuter trains are usually just a longer version of subway trains!

[XxMarchingSnarexX]

also subways have door located on front of the train for emergency exit =D

[Grantuking]

che bei ricordi...voglio tornarci

[Takeruooji]

I love this melodies every time I ride the lines. ^^ It's just great to be in this crowded city!

[krhprodctionz]

quite a lot of people for an off-peak hour train :o

[SrXu]

¡así es tokyo!
