March 2, 2008, JR Yamanote Line, Tokyo, Japan. Yet another example among many of Tokyo's melodiousness. There are little songs and melodies for all sorts of everyday things, all over the city. In this video, you can see/hear a stop on the Yamanote train line, which basically serves as a sort of above-ground subway system for Tokyo (although there is also a proper separate underground subway system too). The Yamanote line does a loop around Tokyo and is useful for hitting almost all of the key places in the city. We're still trying to work out the exact details, but it seems as if every station/stop on the line has its own little theme song when the trains arrive. This is one of our favorites.

that is awesome!!!
Nice. Are you taking the video with your Powershot?
Yep, indeed, video's being taken with the Powershot SD750. I have to say, I hadn't expected to use it at all, but it's actually been coming in handy. And the quality is surprisingly great for a little digital camera. (Of course, youtube compresses the end result down, but that's OK.)
Haven and Mike -
Grandpa and I just finished looking at your videos and enjoyed them very much. We printed off all of your information and journals so that we can read them at our leisure. The train in Tokyo and the fishmarket brought back a lot of memories for me. You are wonderful at documenting all of your experiences and will enjoy re-living them when you are back home.
Sounds like you are having a terrific time
Love - Grandpa and Aunt Leslie
