Eki melo guide 2015/4/7 18:17
Hi. I am looking for a more or less complete guide to the so called station jingles, eki melo or hassha melo used in Japanese train stations. I keep finding parts of information but no page covering all stations or where specific melodies are used. Japanese is okay. I am also trying to find info on jingles or melodies used in trains when about to arrive at a station. Thanks in advance

What are you trying to do with it? I think most people just browse from one YouTube clip to another or just deal with Wikipedia, but why do you need it in one page? Perhaps someone can help you get to your ultimate goal.

I have found that, over the years, the melodies from some stations change and that some jingles are used by more than one station. I don't know if there will ever be a comprehensive guide like you're asking.

Love the jingles and melodies played on train stations and inside the Shinkansen. The other day I saw an alarm clock that wakes you up with melodies and announcements just like those on the Shinkansen, that might be a good way to start the day :-)
