Awesome, tweeting it now. I kind of expected the “train is leaving” sounds — maybe in a future update?

Oh, this bring back memories! It would be also great to hear the melody they have for each station. Or I guess the melody is the same but there is a slight difference for each station.

awesome! thanks so much for putting this up. Really miss the train scene there. Would be even better if you can also put those train melodies up.

Awesome! I’ve been looking for something like this since I got back home from Tokyo, brings back good memories 
Are there other versions of it? Like a TokyoMetro version?

Thank you! Brings a warm cheer to my heart.
Any chance you would share the recordings? They are much cleaner than my own recordings I made while I was in Tokyo.
