So people always ask why do the Japanese use chimes instead of a bell Because people wanted more better-sounding chimes than formerly used noisy ones. Right after the WWII, the chime in Japanese schools was the siren used to notify people of air raid. Many students complained it reminded them of bitter memories of getting bombed. Some schools used fire alarm bell to tell the beginning and end of classes but there were teachers who found it loud. Then a inventor 石本邦雄 (Kunio Ishimoto) started selling a device which rang Westminster chimes in 1954. He often listened to BBC radio broadcast where the melody was often heard. He thought it was melodious and stylish so he adopted it.
This tune brings back memories only because my grandpa built a clock in 1957 with a VERY identical tune. But every hour the amount of dings they go off changes. As in if it's 1am or pm it only sounds once, if it's 2 am or pm, it sounds twice, if it's 12 at night it dings 12 times then goes to almost a gong sound and goes off 12 times if I'm correct. Ill try to give you a clear image of the sound in your head: Imagine that tune in the video, but slightly sped up, and sounds a bit like...... Its obviously much quieter, and the dings for the first 12 times don't sound so much like gongs,. They sound more like an OLD Canadian house in the middle of nowhere with cornstarch ceilin' and cobwebs everywhere even though someone lives there,. And I don't mean the cracks of the Canadian summer heat getting to the walls, I mean you look at the house and imagine a few different tunes. Now obviously you won't hear the tune I do when you think of the house because I'm not good with description and you most likely never EVER seen his house even if you live near smithers, British Columbia Canada
there is something about it that sounds nostalgic, its like it brings back those memories that you forget around the time you start school, ironically.
It's called "Westminster Quarters." Fun fact: Japan is not the only country that plays this as their school bell. I attended a private elementary school in the Philippines from 1990-1998, and they use this sound to indicate recesses and end of class as well. I believe Taiwan also uses this bell sound at their schools... that's why it came as a culture shock for me when I moved to the U.S. 12 years ago and heard the loud American RIIIIIIIIIIIING. LOL.
I will always remember that one spring day when I was in Japan. Staying with a friend in a town around an hour train ride from downtown Tokyo. I was sleeping in one morning when I heard a distance sound of a school playing this tune over their loudspeakers. For a short second made me feel like I was in an anime ngl. Hearing that made my day. With it also being a nice day and during sakura season which made it perfect.
Pelo menos vc nao estuda numa faculdade militar. Quando toca sirene aqui, bate tristeza em geral... Entrar em formatura, xerife da turma tirando chamada, todo mundo puto querendo ir pra casa mas só no fim de semana xD
man I live in Brazil, the bells are very loud there 😭 When they forget to hang up in less than 1 minute, students are almost deaf 😭😭😭I want to study at a Japanese school
I completely believe that this melody is used by every school bell and church bell around the entire freaking world. I've heard it all my life where I'm from.
listen we just affirm that the robotic bear has suddenly disappear. All students will safely leave the school with police. when you leave you will have some pizza.
Sorprendentemente, en la casa de mi pueblo de la infancia, mi familia tiene un reloj que al pasar cada hora suena está melodía. Es curioso, porque soy una persona que ve anime y hoy me he dado cuenta de esto. Cuando me di cuenta, me quedé mirando al reloj al menos 30 segundos, como en trance, recordando de donde venía este melodía. Inevitablemente, pensé en los recuerdos de aquella casa de mi familia desde que era un crío hasta ahora; la casa donde mi abuelo murió, la casa donde mucho tiempo de mi vida estuve y ahora estoy alejado... Muchos recuerdos en un solo momento que simplemente me quedé en trance. Ahora estoy escribiendo esto, me gustaría explicar mejor el momento pero no encuentro las palabras. La vida son momentos y momentos que recordaremos los mismos.
My grandpa built a clock on his own when he was 7 years old so way back in 1957 and it had a very identical tune. I'll have to get a video for the audio
Guys, origin of this melody is from England. This melody is also regularly played by Big Ben chimes in London. Btw. most things in Japan today is from europe, Including modern technology.
We use it in Hong Kong as well for schools In the past, we usually heard ringing bell dun know why but I personally think that bell ringing makes me nervous
The bell sound is modeled after the traditional Japanese folk song that is good luck for travel. Something a long the lines of; 'Go well' and 'Travel Safely'.
My school played this one time randomly We weren't a Japanese school in any shape or form and had the typical "American one" i think someone wanted to alert the anime watchers XD
Sounds like my grandfather clock. Strikes every hour.THE DAMN THING ECHOES THROUGH THE HOUSE. I guess I should have never replaced the carpet with marble.
You should come to my school in Austria. They installed new clocks last year and they sound like a crappy 1$ alarm clock. The beeping is still pissing everyone off up to 20 times a day...

It's funny how every Japanese school has the same bell chime. At least that's the impression I get from watching anime.

In my city there's a small park with a tower in it, and they play this bell tune in certain hours of the day.

The clock tower at Boston Common's uses the Westminster chime too.
If you listen closely, you can hear the faint sound of a million mouth breathing neckbeards and weeaboos.
ahahah
*Weaboo?
all I hear is the muffled struggling of an attractive younger sister
OH MY GOD LMAO I HATE YOU
@@misterix6031 nah thats just me
I like it
it also sounds like the FNAF sound that plays when you survive a night
I was looking for this comment
me too
This is commonly known as the Westminster chime, for those of you who'd like to know how it's named.
I could be wrong, but I think the first bell to use this chime was Big Ben.
The Big Ben sits on the Tower Clock, right in Westminster.
+KingdomHeartsBrawler Big Ben technically just tolls the hour after the quarter bells play the tune.
thankyou.
@@KingdomHeartsBrawler Yeah you're right. Big Ben in in the clock tower of the Westminster building. (The British parliament)

In the game Five Nights with Freddy after completing the night.

School: All through this hour,
Lord be my Guide.
And by thy power,
No foot shall slide.
Senpai: gomenmasai (walks away)

Its not just in schools here in japan the whole town rings that bell every 12pm
Our doorbell sounded like this before it broke, well less creepy....I kinda miss it lol!
^.^ I love this! It sounds so creepy, too! If anybody wants to know I think.... THINK.... this tune is called Westminster Quarters.
Same as our doorbell. Feelsgoodman
Normal people who do not play fnaf:😁😁😁😁
People who play fnaf:💀💀💀💀
It’s true
In my country, school bells don't exist. And even if they did, they'd be immediately mistaken for a fire drill alarm and everyone would panic 💀💀
Guys, origin of this melody is from England. This melody is also regularly played by Big Ben chimes in London. Btw. most things in Japan today is from europe, Including modern technology.
And most technology in europe is from arab and muslim countries and scientists
ahaaa my school bell is the same as this, and I live in Australia, although my all my old schools bells weren't this one :)
We use it in Hong Kong as well for schools
In the past, we usually heard ringing bell
dun know why but I personally think that bell ringing makes me nervous
I had this one in Quebec, Canada at the elementary :D
The fact that my school used to play this as a school chime but stopped because their speaker is broken is aaAAAAAAAAA
I wish I had that peaceful school bell mine is well...
Omg! THank yoooou!!!
This bell sounds calm like school is inviting students to get in class😢:” O dear Students…. Please get in your class”…❤
The bell sound is modeled after the traditional Japanese folk song that is good luck for travel.
Something a long the lines of;
'Go well' and 'Travel Safely'.
Fucking weeb
Oddxy Thanks for the Hate I appreciate it!
Bad Unnie
>Implying a joke as hate
Love you too.
It has the same tune as the church bells in my town.
I wish American schools used this. 😔
Finally i got this alarm tone of nobita's school 😄
this is my lockdown alarm no kidding
My school played this one time randomly
We weren't a Japanese school in any shape or form and had the typical "American one" i think someone wanted to alert the anime watchers XD
Why can't schools be more creative with their school bells!
My door bell sounds like that 😃 👍
The background looks like anime
FINALLY I FOUND THE SOUND WHERE OUR CLOCK GOES OFF W THIS SOUND.
Sounds like my grandfather clock. Strikes every hour.THE DAMN THING ECHOES THROUGH THE HOUSE. I guess I should have never replaced the carpet with marble.
daisy iris the sound is called Westminster Quarters
for some reason that sound always scared me.
It reminds me of the bell of the nail salon around here
This sound is quite damn similar to the Danish Copenhagen city-hall bells.
Search Rådhusklokkerne for reference
I live in Pittsburgh and this is my bell sound...
I hear this sound when watched yugioh.
It’s all the chimes from a grandfather clock
This one japaneese FNaF fan:
If this was my doorbell I would invite everyone to my house make them ring it
I bet it is already in a horror movie x)
Japanese school bells *blessing* their students ears:
American schools bell: *DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG*
Something just feels off when I listen to this...
The FNAF 6am sound?
For some reason I was expecting the bell chime from Shakugan no Shana
Today, senpai will notice me uwu
I love it.
I had this one in germany at the elementary I went to.
in indonesia
this sound is can hear in all train stations in java and sumatera
I go to SYDNEY JAPANESE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL and this is the excact sound that I hear every lesson 😂😂
All through this hour, lord be my guide, and by thy power, no foot shall slide.
You should come to my school in Austria. They installed new clocks last year and they sound like a crappy 1$ alarm clock. The beeping is still pissing everyone off up to 20 times a day...
Finally its over
6 am
Why do i perceive Japanese schools as much better than my country's????
My gradeschool had that one too. In Germany.
my school bell sounds like a meltdown siren
This right here is the sound of my depression
It sounds like 6 AM sound effect from fnaf XD
This is my school bell 😭😭
My school’s church bell sounds similar to this
When you hear this sound, you know something ghostly is going to happen ❤😏
Even though I’m Asian but my school use this! It’s so interesting

I hear that sound in Initial D Second stage and Third stage
Okay this is my bell sound
