Leaves of Words, Green LeavesWake Up Girls!
This song has been used as the departure melody at Sendai Airport Station since 2016.
It was adopted as part of a collaboration project with the anime “Wake Up, Girls,” which is set in Miyagi Prefecture.
The song is used as the ending theme of the film.
Since Sendai Airport operates international flights to Taiwan, the initiative aims to promote Miyagi Prefecture in Taiwan.
Special collaboration headmarks were attached to the trains, and commemorative tickets were also released.
Events like this make riding the train even more enjoyable.
Galaxy Express 999sasaki isao
As part of the campaign marking the 40th anniversary of the full opening of the Sanyo Shinkansen, starting on March 9, 2016 (chosen for its “three nines” meaning), this piece has been used as the departure chime at the five main Sanyo Shinkansen stations: Shin-Kobe, Okayama, Hiroshima, Kokura, and Hakata.
Previously, the same buzzer sound was used for both the departure warning and the train arrival warning, but by differentiating them, it has reportedly become easier to draw passengers’ attention on the platform.
Also, this tune evokes the feeling of a new journey and seems likely to boost the excitement of those setting off.
Good morningKetsumeishi
It’s a song by the four-member hip-hop group Ketsumeishi.
It’s included on their 2013 single “Moon and Sun.” The four-on-the-floor rhythm and positive lyrics make it perfect for a morning alarm.
It was used as the theme song for the information program “Good! Morning.”
R.Y.U.S.E.I.Sandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu
This is the 13th single by the dance and vocal group Sandaime J Soul Brothers from EXILE TRIBE, whose rich vocals and outstanding dance performances have garnered strong support, especially among younger generations.
Chosen as the 2014 campaign song for Tokyo City Keiba, the track—and particularly the Running Man dance performed during the instrumental break—became a hot topic.
Its melody and tones evoke a sky that feels like you could be drawn into it, creating a grand scale that makes you forget small worries.
Move your body as you listen and your energy is sure to rise—it’s a dance tune perfect for playing before you head out in the morning.
I’m Doraemon.Ōyama Nobuyo, Kōrogi ’73
The theme song of Doraemon, a beloved national anime that virtually every Japanese person knows regardless of generation.
It’s a track performed by Nobuyo Oyama—who voiced Doraemon for 26 years until the cast was overhauled in 2004—and the chorus group Korogi ’73.
For many people in their 30s and older, this is the song they think of when they hear “Doraemon.” Today, it’s used as the departure melody at JR Noborito Station, the nearest station to the Fujiko F.
Fujio Museum, where it fills many commuters with a sense of nostalgia.
All humans are brothers — Night is ComingKobayashi Asei
Speaking of Shimamoto Station, it’s the station located in Shimamoto Town, home to Suntory’s whisky distillery.
Which is why this particular tune plays there.
I think everyone knows the melody, but the actual title is “All Humans Are Brothers ~ Night Falls.” It was composed by Asei Kobayashi.
Playing this at the station—very stylish of JR West, isn’t it? Since the station gets skipped by the Special Rapid Service, if you want to hear it, try taking a local train.
Local theme songs like this really help lift your spirits when you travel.
Song of BeginningsRyokushokushakai
For working adults, this is the perfect song to listen to during the morning commute—the time that marks the start of the day—to boost your motivation to give it your all! It’s a track by Ryokuoushoku Shakai, popular for its powerful vocals, rich tone, and relatable lyrics.
As the title “Song of Beginnings” suggests, it features a catchy, bright sound centered around the theme of a fresh start.
Reading the lyrics as you listen will definitely lift your spirits, but even if you just have it on in the background, it’s the kind of energetic song that makes you feel upbeat.
