@@GabSmolders thats fascinating. Seems like an effective way to reduce errors in a job that could quickly become mundane and be easy to mess up. Even if you are really just going through the motions, your brain is still more likely to take note of things if you actively have to move and call things out. Super cool and definitely not something you see in the west, even though I can think of many ways it could be useful.

I have not looked at the link that Gabs shared in this thread but this made me think of when I was working for parents, my Uncle taught me that I should always be making it look like I should be doing something. That way, there would be less of a chance of someone coming up and interacting with me or asking me to do something I am already doing something. It could be anything: sorting a bookcase, carrying bottle to and from, collecting paperwork, etc. When she mentioned it, that is what I thought of

Kisaragi station is an urban legend where there is no such station with this name anywhere in Japan. People who ended up getting taken to Kisaragi station never comes back and there is not a single soul in sight when you're there, just unimaginable beings there...

I lived in Tokyo before. Regarding the conductor, the extra hand gestures are so they basically stay alert the whole time. The job can get really monotonous and to prevent them from zoning out or even falling asleep, they have to perform the gestures. It's also to ensure passengers of that and that they're making safety a priority.

I remember in some video, Gab mentions that in Japanese horror people are usually just 'in the wrong place at the wrong time' and talks about people that always go the same way/have the same routine everyday could be drawn into the ghosts energy (or something like that). So, now I can't help but think I'd be fucked if I ever went to Japan because I always go the same route whenever I go somewhere to the point where I get things mixed up/can't figure out where I am if I have to take a different way.

Copying over my Kisaragi Station explanation from Minx's playthough: There's a decent amount lost if you don't know the story of Kisaragi Station. TL;DR woman gets on a midnight train, it doesn't stop where it's supposed to, she panics and gets off at Kisaragi [devil/demon?] Station. She wanders around, calls her parents, posts on 2ch looking for help. No one can find the station or what train she could have possibly gotten on. She ends up getting followed by a festival of ghosts and running into a train tunnel. She ends up hurt, lost, and confused and takes a ride from a stranger, and is never heard from again. Over time it's kind of morphed into the Japanese version of a ghost train, a rail line ridden by spirits on their way to the afterlife. In the west it's usually the stop after the last stop, but in Japan it's more of a thing that happens to you.

I wonder if that's the "story" behind the incredible train ride in "Spirited Away?" The train only travels one way, and we see figures leaving the train, but none boarding. Even the burst of neon lighting could be another stop, but it is not Chihiro's destination, so the train rolls right on through.

There seems to be certain recurring theme in Japanese horror in urban legends like the slasher smile women or Toilet Hanako: Once you've attracted the attention of the supernatural, you're pretty much doomed with *very* slim to none chance of getting away intact. It feels like it would come from a cultural norm of "keep your head down, mind your business, don't get involved, don't get noticed." And I wonder if that comes from the era when just attracting the attention of a person higher in social standing could be very dangerous for you. A samurai was permitted to kill any peasant that offended him, and *he* got to make that call of what was justifiable. Why take the chance he was just in a bad mood and looking for something to be mad about? Don't get noticed.

The person who jumped in front of the train was the kid. The scene where you're in the conductors place I mean. When you pause it you can see the kid running towards the train. When the kid said he was trying to get a cicada from the window I thought it was implying that he fell out of the window and died but I guess he accidentally ran in front of the train. I assume the office lady was one of Eikos friends that was talked about on the phone. The cicada guy is Daishi who we bullied. I'm not sure who the drunk guy is. He could be the kids dad since we never got to ask him if the kid was his. He may have become an alcoholic after the loss of their kid.

Theory: It seems that train is more than a physical object, but a portal between the physical world, and a spiritual world. The old man Shimizu knew he was ready to die, so he knew the train would take him to that spiritual world. Reinforcing that is the Old Lady who said it was "Too late" because she meant her time was up as well. As for the protagonists wife, the only reason why she was able to pull the protagonist out of the spiritual world is because she is dead and is a spirit herself. Shimizu knows the spiritual connection between the Husband and Wife, hence why he said "Call home" because "Home" embodies the spirit of the family. This includes the Wife. So by calling "Home" he is actually calling his Wife directly. Explanations between the physical world and a spiritual one are always very personal, and if you don't understand the connections, they are hard to decipher.

Hey gabs, I loving your Zelda series and love your indie horror games (even tho I'm not a huge fan of horror :x) Just confirming some facts you mention about Japan! I live in Kawasaki now :) So here we go: 1 - Yes, they are using Stay Home as kind of a campaign for ppl to stay at their homes and just go out for necessary things, like working, grocery and stuff. Actually, we don't have a lockdown. 2 - Each station here has a different song! Some are very famous :) 3 - Kisaragi Station is an urban legend here in Japan, and is very similar to the story in the game. The girl was on the train going home, the train never stopped, all people on the train were sleeping. In the end, they say is the train that takes the dead people to their destination :D Is a very interesting story. Continue your great content :D

Hi, here's my theory. Kensuke Tanaka is always a trouble maker since elementary school. In 6th grade, he killed Taishi's cicadas, gift from Taishi's father. Tanaka killed all of cicadas during recess. So I don't think Taishi would know it was Tanaka. That's why his Boss asked if Tanaka knew something about Taishi's disappearance. (May be he killed himself). But nobody knows and during 8th grade, Kensuke Tanaka bullied to a girl from Kuma no Tsume middle school. And that girl might be a friend of Sho's girlfriend and Eiko, wife of Tanaka. Gradually she got depressed and jumped from station. This is the scene that the train hit on something while Tanaka was in the conductor's room. Then a female ghost came and chased him after. In high school, Tanaka met Mr. Shimizu and he changed Tanaka's life. Tanaka said, Mr. Shimizu saved me from dropping out. Tanaka became a salaryman after graduated and married to Eiko. Last two years, there was an incident. Eiko didn't want her husband know about that and she felt very regretful about the past. Kaya, Taxi driver knew about it. Then Eiko suddenly disappeared. (I assumed that Eiko might knew about her friend's suicide was caused by her husband, Tanaka and she felt guilty about it. Two years ago, Eiko might be pregnant and knowing of the truth led her miscarriage and then disappeared. Suicide? Or just accidentally riding the train and lost in the tracks? Then she came to Kisaragi station, the station connecting the real world and the other world.) The office Lady worked OT and she looks always tired. We can say that by her brown tired eyes. She didn't want to go home that's why she always works OT. She answered she had returned home in safe unfortunately. The next day she disappeared. I think she committed suicide because she left her a pair of red shoes and it symbolises the struggles she endured. The little girl might be an unborn child of Tanaka. Because she was taking a pinwheel which represents the spiritual freedom and souls of miscarriage and stillborn children. Little girl couldn't remember her daddy cuz she has never seen her daddy before. She only knew her father is middle-aged man. Then why she slept along with Tanaka for a while? She said she was chasing the cicadas and a little bit before cicadas stopped on Tanaka's face. This might be guide from Taishi for a little girl and she assumes that Tanaka is her father. I think another mean salaryman is the previous form of Tanaka and drunken man is the present form of Tanaka after Eiko's disappearence. Tanaka is still alive, still human that's why he could hear the voices of natural and the other world gives a chance to him. The reason why the Helper is Mr. Shimizu is that he has strength or power to influence Kensuke Tanaka. If Tanaka has chosen the right station, Mr. Shimizu would help later, giving a chance to see Eiko for the last time. If not, Tanaka will lost in the tracks forever at Kisaragi Station. The forementioned is just my assumptions.

For those who still wonder about what happened in this game. This game was inspired by an urban legend of a train station Tasagari in Japan, this station is believed to be the station of the beyond where the dead people gather. In this game, the main character who we controll and his wife Eiko were punished for bad things they did in the past ( they had both bullied other students during their time at school, you would find out about it by the conversations through the phones with some people like his friend or the taxi driver ). The punishment for them was to be sent to the trains of the dead that took them to the station of the beyond. His wife was the first one who experienced that, she was taken to Tasagari and her soul had been trapped there, that’s why nobody could find her. The main character was then the second victim but fortunately he got help from his old teacher who may had died but he did not know. He could not avoid his punishment of being sent to Tasagari, but he got a chance to get rid of it by choosing to call her wife by the home number as his teacher said in the Tasagari, having been trapped there for a long time, his wife could understand and find him with no guidance. By taking her husband home, she was forgiven by Gods and released.

You & John are keeping me sane with Phasmagoria. :) I’ll try to catch u on twitch and donate some if I can.

People began to realize that second-hand smoke was harmful to others who inhale it. My little brother has asthma so I'm happy that they introduced smoking areas as well.

I know this is way late, and you may never see this, but I've been a long time watcher of your videos, especially these sorts of games, and in addition to being very entertaining, I appreciate the little tidbits of Japanese language and culture you drop along the way. Thanks for all the awesome content.

This is why you don't call the police, especially if you're in the middle of no where. Make sure your family or someone who can contact people that can actually tell other people something is up know what's going on. Police are unlikely to come find you unless you're in actual physical danger and even then probably don't have the resources.

15:53 That seems to me something akin to what some people do while gaming, when they keep pressing random buttons while watching a cutscene or something, just because, or sometimes because they just want the cutscene to end already and go back to playing (and maybe pressing buttons create a illusion of going faster). -Now regarding the conductor, for anyone who wanna see what she's talking about, watch this video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1pBvnH2Nk2iBqaw I heard (in one of the video's comments) that the conductor does that to maintain focus, so it may actually apply to everyone, since Japan is a place where "karoshi" exists, it wouldn't be too surprising for me if people to those extra movements as a mean to start alert or something while they are actually very tired. . . hope I'm wrong tho wand that is really just a habit. 19:02 Yeah, I believe "unti" (or whatever it's written) is just the kid's way of saying poop. Heh, that poop trivia tho, was not expecting xD. 23:46 "Oji- I'm not that old." 29:16 "Oe kodomo, modorinasai!" 36:25 and 36:47 Yes, I surely wouldn't mind riding a train with the lights off like that. 57:00 Hahahaha! The whole video I was thinking "someone should make a game about the Kisaragi Station" and then that point comes, hahahaha, truly interesting, and considering your doubts, here's the story: vgperson.com/posts.php?p=kisaragi. 1:07:28 Oh so you may have read it, but I'll leave the link anyways. 1:10:40 That's cool. For me, this was the best one so far, maybe because I really like trains, stations and the Kisaragi Station story, but yeah, it was great. Did you miss my long ass comments? I'm sorry anyways, for the wall of text.

While I was working at McDonalds (my first job) I would always tap the side or tap into a menu while I was thinking about where the actual item was. My managers definitely thought I was a hard worker but it was mostly because pressure makes me nervous and that was my way of stumbling

This is a really late comment, but when I was working in fast food I would do the side tapping thing as well. I sort of just developed the habit because it allowed the system to catch up with me (I punched in orders faster than the POS could handle), and it helped stop me from accidently hitting the buttons twice (twitchy hands.)

It might be a bit of a stretch, but my guess/theory is that the OL may be the one who jumped in front of a train, mostly based on the fact that her item in the puzzle is her shoes, suggesting maybe she left them behind/lost them, as well as the implication her home life is rough and she’s hesitant to talk about it (of course, one might not want to discuss any kind of intimate personal matter with a complete stranger on the train, but, y’know, we’re just theory crafting here lol)
