With its random beeps, whirs, and jingles, the soundscape of Tokyo has long fascinated foreigners. The city’s vast subway system is no exception. An iconic “departure melody,” however, will soon be replaced by pop songs at three busy stations. Last year Tokyo Metro solicited suggestions on its website, and it recently revealed the winners.

The songs will make their subway debut in the spring.
