This is prime Shinkansen territory!  It looks great on full-screen.

The commercial makes Japan look so advanced in technology compared to most other countries. The designers and engineers who made these trains are so far ahead of the times.

I like the JR commercial, especially the start with the opening shed doors and the shot of the clock- you get the message that being on time is the priority.

This one is from Renfe, Spain.

 

This one if from Montreal Metro.  The jingle is created from the actual train acceleration sound.
