Did you know that you take the trains, right?
Trains? Yeah.
Remember, I want you to place yourself in front of the ticket gates.
Okay.
Ticket gates? You mean the... 改札。
And you have your Suica in your hand.
And then I want you to go through it. Tell me the noise.
That the Suica make. No, it's not right. That's right.
Is it? Okay. But have you also...
Haven't you also heard of...
Oh, is that two different...
There's several different noises.
The same machine makes. Oh, I didn't know that.
I didn't know that either.
What the hell is that?
Yeah, if you have cute tickets or cute Suicas, they make like pew pew.
Really? Interesting. I did not know that.
That's the only thing. When I was a kid, I always sound like pew pew, and I didn't. Oh, come on. Pew pew again.
音の違いの理由
It was like an embarrassing noise.
I didn't know there's two different sounds.
Is it two different sounds? There's several.
You've heard of...
You've heard of all, I think.
Okay, I thought that was going to be a YouTube of...
How about this?
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Oh, okay.
So, if you're like lining up
like many people, and then you rush through,
if the sound would be different from you, or like the people in front of you,
you can understand
that was your touch or somebody else's touch.
Is that right? Is that the final answer?
That was a pretty good guess, but no.
No? Is it? Because I heard like in the supermarket,
the registers, you know, they make like different noises in each machine
so that you can understand was that my purchase
or like that guy's purchase.
I thought that's the same thing in a kaisatsu.
Interesting, but no. What's the answer?
This is, first of all,
kaisatsu,
there are things like beep, beep, beep, and so on.
Whether you can pass or not, the charge price, the expiration date,
and so on.
So that means if you have 10,000 yen in your Suica,
then the sound will be like, I don't know, like beep,
but if you have 20 yen in your Suica, then like beep, beep.
Yeah, exactly.
So the difference in charge is that if it's more than 1,000 yen, beep, beep,
改札通過音の多様性
and if it's less than 1,000 yen, beep, beep, beep.
Oh, I didn't know that. Wow.
Oh, I didn't know that. Okay, well that's really convenient.
It is. Okay, so that you know you may need to charge it
today or like, you don't have to worry about that.
Oh, nice, nice, nice. And you're letting all the other people around the world
just let you know, oh, my Suica's almost out.
Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. But that's interesting.
That's a good one. It's interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Interesting mame chishiki. Yeah. And also it depends on which
card did you use, you said?
This is the Suica. Ah, okay. Right.
Do you want to actually hear it? Yeah. The official site has the actual
audio.
Yeah, well that's what I basically, I feel like
regular sound.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. True. Yeah.
Yeah, me too. I don't ever.
And this doesn't, this kiji doesn't answer the onte no chigai.
Ah, true. Yeah.
Maybe it's like you're using Suica or Plasmo.
Yeah, maybe that's. Or your smartphone wallet. Maybe that could be it.
Yeah, that could be it. Yeah.
Now I'm interested in. Right. And I want to go to that
kaisatsu. And what your noise is too, right? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know that.
This is coming from Yahoo Answers, so never trust us.
Yeah.
Right. Because we just checked the Suica site and that wasn't the
改札を通る音の違い
onte.
Okay, I guess I've got to look deeper then. Yeah, yeah. Maybe if you
have more than 10,000 yen in your Suica
account.
You're rich.
This guy's rich.
Yeah, that's funny. That is
funny. Yeah. And lights up.
Yeah.
But yeah, try to go in with your Suica account and then see
what your Suica card makes.
I'd love to try now.
Thanks for listening, guys. Bye-bye.
