Chiyoda Line
Subject
Waiting for the subway.
Description
Each of the different subway lines have different jingles that are associated with each of them. Since many places in Japan already had Christmas decorations up, there were even a few that were probably seasonal jingles that were made for this reason only.

There is the sound of multiple overhead announcements speaking in Japanese as they give updates about the where abouts of the trains. The closer one is male and the further announcement is female. Then a masculine voice describes the the placement of the train in English and asks the listeners to please stay away from the yellow lines. The audio muffles for a moment, and you can hear many other voices as the crowd filters in. As the train arrives, a higher frequency chime sequence plays, going up and down in notes. As the train pulls in, the sound of birds can be heard along with a masculine voice announcing that the train has arrived.
