Japanese train announcements

Good day!
I have tried several times to understand what exactly they say when riding trains in Japan, the announcements so to say. There are rather long sentences they say, think it is like "Kyo mo JR goryo kudasai" or something. If you have time, could you please put up the most usual phrases used in trains?

Hello,
It may be "Kyou mo JR wo goriyou itadaki mashite, makotoni arigatou gozaimasu"
means "thank you so much for using JR again today".

ajapaneseboy,
Thank you very much! Sounds exactly like I remember it.

A bit off topic follow up question; I have seen some of these keychain "pods" playing Tokyo train station jingles (chimes). Are there any pods like this playing messages like the above or other train line jingles like shinkansen?

you can listen to train line jingles here:

Thank you so much for the links. You wouldnt know if there are keychains like that of jingles for shinkansen jingles and so on?

N700A is a subseries of N700 series, which is the newest series of Shinkansen cars on Tokaido and San'yo Shinkansen operated by JR-Central and JR-West.
(Jingles used in Shinkansen trains of JR-East differ in some points.)

OMG mm. thank you for posting the link... great memories on the Shinkansen with their coming to a stop music

omg, after listening to these auido i want to go back to Japan and ride all the train to hear it.

i would have love to work for free with someone who want the sound.omotenashi and mm thank you for posting

When I first came to Japan, a particular phrase used in the subway, "wanman unten" always caught me off guard... then I realised "wanman" was "Japanese English" (I.e. katakana) for one-man.

here a question... i was listening to the youtube version correct.

at 1:08 to 1:13, they said "car 1,2,and 3 are for passangers without seat reservations" so i had a JR Pass right i can just hop in car 1,2, and 3 without making a reservations. i thought JR Pass users always have to make a reservations but in another forum they said no, you can just hop on a car for reservations people. this is correct right

also does anyone know the name of the train that start with an A \, i know its like West Japan or the train that rides down to nagasaki.

@SeikoSKO You do not have to make a reservation with the JR pass so you can use any of the non reserved cars. However it does not cost you anything to make a reservation with the Jr pass and guarantees you a seat so if you know you will be on a particular train it makes sense to make one.

Sorry, off topics,
I remember this old song that was a hit on 1999.
