Exciting Launch: Tokyo Station's Keihin-Tohoku Line Melody Keychain

Japanista Co., Ltd., led by CEO Daisuke Kobayashi and based in Minato, Tokyo, has confirmed the launch of a new product in its beloved "Station Melody Keychain" series. Slated for release in mid-October 2025, the fifth installment features the iconic melody from the Keihin-Tohoku Line, specifically designed for Tokyo Station. This series is known for its ability to play actual departure melodies from railways across Japan, allowing fans to capture a piece of the journey.

The Beloved SH-5 Melody

The keychain named 'SH-5' plays the historic departure melody that delighted travelers at Tokyo Station and Yurakucho Station. Although this particular melody is no longer in use, its captivating tunes remain etched in the memories of many rail enthusiasts. During a popular vote held in June 2025, the melody clinched the second spot, leading to numerous requests for its reintroduction as a product. This overwhelming response prompted Japanista to move forward with the product development.

Why Tokyo Station?

The selection of Tokyo Station for this keychain wasn't random. The name "Tokyo" boasts high recognition both domestically and internationally, making it a memorable location for travelers, including many foreign visitors. This iconic station not only signifies Japan's rich railway history but also embodies the charm of the country’s transportation culture, aptly conveying the appeal of the station melodies to a broader audience.
