Former resident of Keihanshin here. I just recently visited Tokyo and while riding a subway train I remembered hearing a particular melody but I don’t remember *where* it was.
Assuming it’s a very common tune and many Tokyoite might be aware of it, I’d like to ask if anyone can recall where this is played. I have a playable recreation of how the tune went (just that it wasn’t piano).

I don’t remember exactly what station or it was, but here are lines I took if that might help:
* Lines: Chuo-Sobu, Ginza, Keikyu (Airport & Main), Marunochi, Mita, Narita Express, Saikyo, Tokyu, or Yamanote.
* I highly doubt this, but Shinkansen: Tokyo – Odawara
I tried to find it myself using YouTube but to no avail. If anyone can help that would mean the world to me!

you should get in touch with the JR
Definitely JR. I think most stations play that melody when closing the doors.

See around 0:30 in the YouTube.
It’s played at various JR stations.
Melody is せせらぎ, from there you can find what stations it’s played at.
Mita line plays this sound I’m pretty sure! Either that or it’s the Namboku line right before it turns into the Mita…
