Yamanote Line bank

I bought this bank in Japan at one of the toy stores near Mandarake. When you put money in it, it plays the different station "jingles" of Tokyo's JR Train Yamanote line. They call them "departing melody tracks".

Tokyo station
Ueno station
Shibuya station
Shinjuku station
NIppori station
Shinagawa station

hey, I live in Japan and would like to buy it! Could I ask you how much was it? did you buy it in Akihabara? Thanx! =)

@namaenashi Hi! I think I paid 5000 yen for it (about 50 dollars). I bought it at a toy shop that is in the same building as Mandarake. Hope this helps!

@namaenashi This was purchased at a toy store in the same building as Mandarake. I'm sure they still have it or some variation of it. If you can't find it there, look at stores in Akihabara, like you said. Or maybe Tokyo Hand.

Good luck!

I bought it at one of the toy stores around Mandarake. They probably have it at a lot of stores around town. :)

@namaenashi: Tokyu Hands in Shibuya carries it.

@namaenashi I don't know if you found it yet, but I got one of these at Tokyu Hands at Takashimaya Times Square in Shinjuku. I think it was 3900 yen.

I loved this so much I bought one for myself on eBay. There's a store called Plazajapan located in Osaka Japan that sells these on eBay. They ship to America and Canada.

@thaifaq: yes, they still have it. I got mine about three weeks ago at the Tokyu Store in Shibuya, but I have also seen it at the Hakuhinkan Toy Park Store in Shimbashi and a few other stores in Tokyo... Just look for it, they also have this as the Chuo-Line version and the Shinkansen, too.

Love this! I know it's been a year since this video was posted but is it still possible to buy this in Tokyo? I'll be there in December and would love to pick this up as a souvenir.
