If you like JR, here are a few vids I took on my two trips there....

And here is a link to a free ringtone for Akihabara station. I have that as my ringtone, but when I was there in Oct 2010, it was the melody to Yamanote's inner circle at Shinagawa.

Yeah, thought so about the haggling thing. I'm terrible at it anyway, I get under pressure easily so would just rather pay full price. Anyways, that doesn't even matter now :L
Yeah, I'm a small-time rail junkie too. Not as much as an airline junkie, that's my forte
But still, trains have always fascinated me.
Same with me, except I'd like them because I basically lived on the trains when I was in Tokyo, and I only EVER used the Yamanote line, so those jingles put me straight back in Japan.
So they're called Eki-melo? Will have to keep it in mind in case I need to ask.
Thanks for the links, will certainly check them out now
Still not in the download age yet myself though, I prefer things on CD and such, rather than on my phone.
In case it suits anyone, HMV.co.jp has a train station jingle CD here:
