I know that the Japanese are all full of "oneness", but do you really think they could all start and end their "eeeeeeehs" as perfectly synched as they do on TV?

Actually I can remember reading about this seating business for decades and, sure enough, the J-Wikipedia entry says the Keihan 5000 series with exactly this feature was manufactured from 1970 to 1980, so nothing new there. The most remarkable thing IMO is that those Tokyo types were surprised at all. Time to welcome some serious <i>tetchan</i> and/or <i>tetsuko</i> onto your team perhaps? Keep up the good work anyway. - Delta. Thanks for the effort put into this site :-) .

But my point is "eeeh"ing doesn't mean it's something really special.. we just say it in everyday life when we encounter something that's unexpected. I like Neptune (the 3-guy group) and I admit they always act like they're hyper on TV, and maybe that's also why.

I've seen the seats blocking the doors countless times but never gave it a second thought. Obviously the seats are raised and lowered when there's nobody in the train, so I've never seen that happen. I just thought that they bought trains with too many doors (or the trains were an old model) and decided the space would be better used by installing more benches. Interesting, but not "eeeeeh" worthy. I ride the keihan 3 times a week.

Then again I'm always riding on the express (usually the double-decker variant) so that could be why. I ride the Keihan line 2 or 3 times a week and I have never seen the seats blocking the doors.

For someone who has to ride the train potentially a couple hours per day, seeing something unique and different about it (this feature is apparently unique to Keihan, which is a rather small company) probably does make it somewhat amazing to people from other areas. ...but yeah, the tarento do exaggerate their responses, to everything. (falling off their chairs in response to a non-sequitur for example) Anyways, I lived in Osaka-shi and commuted to Hirakata-shi (and thus rode Keihan daily) so it's nothing new to me :P All the “eeee?” is because trains are an integral part of Japanese society and have almost become transparent to many people.

They act like it's some sort of voodoo magic going on with all the "Eeeeeeeeh!!???" going on. It doesn't take much to get them excited.
