Every day in Tokyo at 4pm, this music can be heard playing on public announcement speakers all over the city. Each district seems to have their own jingle! From what I gather the music is meant to tell children that it will soon be dark and that they should be getting home. This video was taken near Nakano-Sakaue train station just west of Shinjuku. December 2009.

  • It means time to pick kids up I think

  • I asked my friend if she ever heard this, and she replies, "is that the terminator theme?"

  • Not all over the city ;)

    Just in Nakano shimbashi. I used to live here, and I'm happy to recognize the Nakano Shimbashi Sakura House place!!! I lived in 2C1 last summer!

    Now I live in Yoyogi, and we can hear a different song at the same moment...
