Maya\uff1aHello there, Zack. What\u2019s that you\u2019re humming?
Zack\uff1aMaya! Hi. You know what, I have no idea. It\u2019s just a jingle or something that\u2019s got stuck in my head. An earworm.
Maya\uff1aHum it again for me, will you? Maybe I can place it.
Zack\uff1a(Hums a tune) Do you know it?
Maya\uff1aIt\u2019s a train melody. One of those short melodies you hear before a train departs a station. But which station \u2026? Can you remember?
Zack\uff1aI don\u2019t think so. But wait. Now that I think about it, all the stations in Tokyo have these tunes. So many different tunes.
Maya\uff1aNot just Tokyo. They\u2019re in stations all over the country.
Zack\uff1aSo you can tell which station you\u2019re at just by the song?
Maya\uff1aI guess. The tunes give each station a character. I remember hearing once that the theme from Astro Boy plays at Takadanobaba Station, because the anime\u2019s makers are based in the area. Or at least, that\u2019s what a train melody fan told me. Don\u2019t ask me how we met \u2026
Zack\uff1aA train melody fan?
Maya\uff1aIn Japan, there\u2019s a fan for everything. Anyway, he told me about a famous composer who\u2019s written train melodies for more than 100 stations.
Zack\uff1aThat\u2019s a lot of songs.
Maya\uff1aThe interesting thing is that, since each stop is short, you\u2019ve got to pace it just right. An intro, building to a sort of climax. But you can have fun with it. Apparently, there was one train line where all the melodies fit together to make a complete song.
Zack\uff1aThat\u2019s mad. Which line?
Maya\uff1aI can\u2019t remember. In any case, they change the tunes every so often, so they may have changed that line\u2019s music too. But these days, all the jingles are on YouTube. Or CD.
Zack\uff1aRight! I remember now. One of Joseph\u2019s friends was over and they were playing that tune. (Sings tune again.)
Maya\uff1aYurakucho!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
