Tokyo Broadcasting System used this sequence on its digital television service, JORX-DTV, between 2003 and 2009. The same ident served two daily moments: the morning sign-on, when the station began broadcasting, and the night sign-off, when it ended transmission for the day. As Japan moved fully into digital broadcasting, these opening and closing sequences became a recognisable part of the channel's identity. Today it survives mainly as a nostalgic clip shared by viewers who remember early digital-era TBS, and by creators recreating retro Japanese television.
About this sound
The TBS digital television sign-on and sign-off jingle used by Tokyo Broadcasting System from 2003 to 2009, played at station opening and closing each day.
This is the short station ident that opened and closed TBS digital television broadcasts in Japan, a polished broadcast jingle built around a bright melodic theme and a calm announcer-style flow that marks the start of the day and the end of the night. In the morning version it feels fresh and welcoming, like a station waking up with its audience, while the closing version feels softer and more final, signalling that programming is over. For listeners it carries a strong sense of nostalgia for early digital-era Japanese television, a familiar cue that the screen is about to come alive or quietly go dark.
