I'm also a fan of the Yamanote Line. I made a psychedelic AI audio-visual collage inspired by it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwUSzUvShqcaa I made field recordings during my last stay in Tokyo. From those, I made a song for each station of the Yamanote line, using the Jingle in the prompt. The visuals were made similarly. Used mainly Suno, Udio, Runway and Ableton Live.
This is lovely - I used to use YouTube recordings of Yamanote line trips as a way to fall asleep. As a small bit of feedback - from the sleep perspective, the melodies and door chimes seem quite loud and frequent - would love an even more "backgroundy" version where the ambient travel sections are longer, and those chimes and melodies are quieter. Perhaps even with masking of human noises.
Should be a fairly easy ask as the chimes and melodies are on separate tracks and the volume can be adjusted easily.
Group policy sadly doesn't like newly registered domains so I can't check this one out right now but it immediately reminded me of this one, that I favorited 4 years ago: https://yamanote.style/
No real feedback other than it's pretty awesome. It'd be cool to have a version of the display above the doors that shows the upcoming stations, but I'm not sure in practice if that would be that useful since I assume most people would have that in the background as you point out.
As you can see, it was far from perfect: https://ibb.co/3D6GBsX
That “install as app” pop up after the first station is clearly unnecessary and utilises a dark pattern - “not now” button is painted like it is disabled. Please don’t do like that.
it’s great if we could increase the ambient sound time frame to simulate the real time between stations, it’s eerie to hear stations that fast
