Even More Memorabilia

Alarm clocks, tape-measures, and now a Yamanote Line piggy bank. It plays authentic platform jingles as well.

One of the best things about the train system is that each platform in each train station across Japan (not just each station!) has a separate tune. These can range from simple melodies, to anime/video game tunes, to theme tunes from "It's A Small World" to "The Third Man". The anime/video game tunes are located in the area their creator lived or worked, but the variety of songs is useful for the typical act of sleeping on the train and not missing your home station.
