Every track is a beaten track in Tokyo, but I've been off of my typical beaten paths, going about in the financial calm before the raging storm on the horizon that I hope to somehow evade....
"Ikegami Line - Coming into Osaki-Hirokoji Station" (091215-1449)
Looking out the cab of an Ikegami Line train as it comes into Osaki-Hirokoji Station. (Recorded on Tuesday, December 15th, 2009, at 2:49 p.m.)
"Ikegami Line - Culverts & Tunnels" (091215-1453)
Running from Ebara-Nakanobu to Hatanodai, the train's old style (voice) recording (actually, not just old "style" but actually old I think) warns the passengers what not to do in ultra-polite Japanese. Recordings on different train lines are similar, but have variations. Unfortunately, new announcements may be becoming more similar and less interesting. (Recorded on Tuesday, December 15th, 2009, at 2:53 p.m.)
"Riding Yamanote Line into Yurakucho Station" (091215-1646)
Looking out a left-side window of a Tokyo/Ueno-bound Yamanote Line train at buildings flowing past. Then getting off the train in Yurakucho and heading for the stairs. (Recorded on Tuesday, December 15th, 2009, at 4:46 p.m.)
"Transfer to Inokashira Line from Chuo Line at Kichijoji" (091216-1040)
