Waaaay back when (oh, sometime around Tuesday, 18 April 2006), in the early days of this blog, I was searching for a site that played JR (Japan Railway) station music. Well, two years, and several million dollars later, I found it - here is the holy grail of JR East Japan eki (station) platform tunes in all their midi-esque glory: http://www.hatsumelo.com/line/ . Please note that the site is mostly in Japanese, but each train line's name is also written in English (romaji). And, if that wasn't enough, they also put a representation of each distinctive train next to their respective line (very helpful, especially if you navigated Tokyo sen by their color) . Too cool.

If you look at the list, Number 4 is the Keihin-Tohoku Line. Click on that stylish blue train, and you come to this page: http://www.hatsumelo.com/line/keihintohoku.html .
If you count down the station list from the top, Kamata 蒲田 is number thirty. Click on track number Four (4)
Yep, that music brings back memories - enjoy!
