        but personally I love the constant barrage of announcements you get on Japanese public transport….

        Great video, I too love it. I also love how every station has it's own sound. Yoyogi! Yoyogi!

            These are great (re: UHFs)

            Aren't they? I see a trifecta in my future.

                  Used to be this bar out in Ichikawa called the Crazy Cactus. Originally owned by a gaijin, but later bought by a bit of an eccentric Japanese guy. He decked the place out in aquariums and crayfish ponds. And also a large screen and projector. Whenever I went in for a beer he'd have a DVD of a rural train journey going. Like Giles vid, but for hours upon hours. No wonder he went out of business.

                    I've thought of getting that, lol. What I was really hunting for was the JR clocks. I love the simplicity of their design, and green/yellow color scheme.

                    (EG of clock for those who've not seen)

                        Doesn't it get time only from Japanese atomic clock?

                          You can also do a manual setting, but yes it does work by atomic clock in standard mode.

                                        I just found this photo on my camera.  I love it as it is so typically Japanese.  At least one BA flight leaves Haneda daily, but the check-in staff  MUST have a full briefing every flight…..
