I knew it from the James may in japan series

1:06 - 1:11 is that not the cutest thing ever

James May's "Man In Japan" brought me here.

James may sumimasen.

向谷さん海外の動画に出てたのか

Anyone here from James May?

They shud have the James May Sumimasen ~~~

I want James may sumimasen station :(

Why the hell does the London Underground have no melody at its stations like it does in all cities across Japan?? This is a shameful disrespect with the British people and with their public transportation service! They should have it and then it would be more beautiful and agradable to enjoy the trip in the trains.

As a DX7 user, it's so sick seeing two of them in his studio at 1:45

Custom Officer: Why are you here in Japan? Me: Listen to train jingles.

So sad that i was born and raised in a shithole country

James May Sumemasin

JAMES MAY SUMIMASEEEN~~ I lived in Japan for years and was really familiar with the jingles, but when I watched JM: Our Man in Japan last year, I found out that it was that breathtaking keyboardist from Casiopea who was behind these catchy jingles all along!!

Jamess mayy...s u m i m a s e n

oh jesus thats not how it should sound

Still no sign of james may sumimasen train station

0:07 向谷さん！！！

awesome Mr. Mukaiya

New Videos. Yet New YouTuber Channel.

New videos. Call what would you like new president John Biden do for USA States during this campaign? Talk about it. Can we work on new railroad track system for The bullet train all 50 States. Matter of seconds. Anywhere at anytime. Better then typically convenient ones in Japan. Can they have pleasant music depending on the environment that you are placing the people? Can it connect to the other countries nearby Canada and Mexico.

Please stand back behind the yellow warning blocks ;)

This guy has the coolest job ever

These jingles scream Nintendo!

His jazz band, Casiopea, is amazing.

Tokyo trains:plays nice music New York Trains:GET ON NOW IDIOT I KNOW YOU HEAR ME JOHN GET ON WORTHLESS STAIN

James May... Sumimasen

I can't believe it was one of the Casiopea members this entire time.

So when you arrive at a station in Tokyo, mariokart music starts playing?

0:52 GALACTIC FUNK

James may sumimasen

KiRbY wInS!!! 1:36

10X cheese factor 80's rock themes

Listening to japanese train announcements and melodies fills me with joy for whatever reason

1:36

Can those simulators be seen somewhere on youtube or anywhere else?

hadestown

This makes me happy. Very happy.

“James May, sumimasen”

man I wish this video lasted 1 hour at least

1:35 sounds like some smash bros music

“I am a music producer and composer of train melodies” says the maestro from one of the most famous fusion bands. What a humble man!

He says he prefer soft, non irritating sounds, but clearly didn’t give a shit when he composed the sound for Shin-Okubo or JR Ueno which are just alarm sounds.

Jaaames may ..sumimaseeeen :)

James may.. sumimasen.....

Shibuya Station literally is a smash Bros soundtrack

i think not every station in Japan has jingles - Kisuki line for an example

Are there any stations that use themes like Soshigaya-Ōkura Station? That one uses the Ultraman & Ultraseven themes.

James May, sumimasen....

Came here because I heard Minoru Mukaiya made like a hundred train melodies 😂 This is awesome!

Anyone else know the tune because of James May our man in Japan?

T...t...tt...tram?

Jaaames Maaaay Sumimasen

james may sumimasen

Koji kondo of metro

You covered my favorite keyboardist, and I learned something incredible. SUBSCRIBED :)

james may sumimasen

How is this not a 2 month job? I'm sure you could crank out 2 or 3 of these a day.

James May, Sumimaseeeeen

It’s the casiopea guy

Check out his keyboard works as a member of Casiopea. From album Mint Jams in 1982. https://youtu.be/6GEI3PpXEAo He really have nothing to prove at this point he just doing what he love.

Greattttt

James May~ Sumimasen ~

CASIOPEEEAAAA

Happy 800th comment lol

here, we get a microwave beep when the train leaves

Unfortunately we can't really hear them now.

_~James May sumimasen_

Sumimasen.

JAMES MAY Sumimaseeeen!

How come the rest of Casiopea doesn't seem to age but he did in spades

Whoa, it was the Casiopea keyboardist all this time? Music is just that beautiful

Don't know why but the instrumental and melody remind me of the Wii Resorts/sports themes

I wondered how people would wake up after semi sleeping on the trains, it's the jingle at the station they need to get off that they hear. It's their wake up call!　どうもありがとございます

I never gave a second thought about these jingles.

This guy is a living legend

I miss japan for this reason maaaannnnnn I wanna go back

1:35 sounds like wii sports

He's still smiling all these years later. Love ya, Mr. Mukaiya.

I enjoy riding trains in Japanese because of the jingles. Thank you 😭🙏🏼

1:35 Sounds like the theme that plays at the start of a mario kart race lmao

James may sumimasen

James may, sumimasen

Damn the Nail that stands out sure doesn’t get hammered down no more

This is so funny to watch now that I have lived here for a while. When they first played the Shibuya one I knew straight away what station it was!

James May Sumimasen

James May su-ni-ma-sen 🎶

James May Sumimasen

I mean, trains have conductors just like in orchestras

Thank you Mr. Mukaiya who made me love japan Metro even more

and then you have stations like shin okubo which is literally a phone ringing

Two words: MINT. JAMS.

"James May : Our Man in Japan" brought me here

James May, Sumimasen.

my great keyboards & synthesizers influencer ... i know him after i listening to Casiopea “ Galactic Funk “ and he uses a Yamaha Keyboards from 1980 untill now. And i’m big fans of Yamaha DX7 a FM keyboards synthesizers

I liked casiopea and their music. You should try listening to their music.

I need to know the stuff he uses to make these beautiful melodies

I’ve heard these when I last visited Tokyo a few years back. They’re amazing! Love this small subculture of Japan!

Is japan even a real place tbh...
