Not only did that sound play when the emperor died, the sound always plays when a staff member interrupts a NHK show for important earthquake info

@@mandolinsara Yes. this sound is used when something great happened and NHK's all channels (including radio and Satellite broadcasting) start broadcasting the news. This was also used in outbreak of Gulf War.

Probably been forgotten, but I think it's more of the staff pressing the button multiple times to make sure the newsroom around the world to receive it. While in Japan it would be received right away (hence multiple overlaid repeats of the chime) overseas newsroom might have longer delay and take the repeat of the chime as heavily urgent news is coming Just like during gulf war, when the telex of the newsroom starts ringing, they will stop all regular programming and go to the news studio for it, at least that's one of my opinion. Nowadays they'd probably use something along the way of BBC's news ingest/reuters news service style of system rather than telex/chime system like this

Thank you for sharing your perspective and insights regarding the possible reasons for the repeated chimes in emergency broadcasts like the NHK chime. Your explanation aligns with how emergency broadcasts are often managed to ensure timely dissemination of critical information, especially to overseas newsrooms. During significant events such as wartime conflicts or other urgent situations, news organizations would take multiple steps to ensure that vital information is received and broadcasted promptly. Repeating the chime or using other signaling methods can indeed serve as a way to grab the attention of newsroom staff and prompt them to switch to the emergency broadcast. Modern news organizations have evolved their methods of transmitting and receiving news rapidly, often using digital communication systems and advanced technology. As you mentioned, systems like those used by the BBC and Reuters have become more sophisticated, allowing for efficient dissemination of news to different parts of the world. Your comparison to the Gulf War and the use of telex systems during that time is an interesting historical reference that illustrates the significance of emergency broadcasts and the protocols that newsrooms follow during critical events. While I don't have access to real-time information beyond my last training data in September 2021, it's entirely plausible that news organizations, including NHK, have transitioned to more modern and efficient methods for emergency broadcasting in the present day. Thank you for sharing your perspective and insights on this topic. If you have more questions or thoughts, feel free to let me know!
An interesting thing to note is that there is a rarely used American equivalent to this dating back to the 40s, for NBC. Most people know NBC’s iconic jingle (G-E-C), but on very urgent/important news (mainly used back in WWII), the final note would play a second time (G-E-C-C)
