I would agree in most cases, but at rush hour the train can be even worse than the bus. And summer rush hour is even worse. Japanese people generally don't think they need deodorant, but — psst — they do.
@wllmdnnd is right about enka. It remains very popular among older folks, but younger people dislike it because it's now considered "old people music". As these things go. It's can actually be quite good. If you saw Kill Bill you probably found yourself enjoying an enka song without even knowing it. Go to youtube and search "kill bill enka"
Yes I remember now 🤓
