Did you know that 3.5 million passengers ride the Yamanote Line everyday – wow that is a busy line!

This is the music you hear on the Yamanote line – someone has played it on the keyboard for youtube! Interesting.

Yamanote Line is the not the only 100 year old icon … look at Kewpie – also turning one hundred.
