Eki-Melo (駅メロ) or station jingles play in both Japan and Taiwan as trains are approaching the station and the doors are about to close.

For those on their daily commute that take a nap on the train, they know it’s time to get off when they hear the melody of their station play.

The melodies not only serve a functional purpose, but they also bring back memories to those that have visited Japan or Taiwan. Those traveling on JR East or Taipei Metro would have heard the melodies play many times.

発車メロディは日本でも台湾でも、電車が駅に近づき、ドアが閉まるときに流れる。

メロディーは機能的な役割を果たすだけでなく、日本や台湾を訪れたことのある人にとっては思い出を呼び起こすものでもある。JR東日本や台北の地下鉄を利用する人なら、何度も耳にしたことがあるだろう。
