Komagome is my favorite Yamanote line jingle: https://youtu.be/-GF_dku3Mgo?t=131

That's the famous folk song "Sakura, Sakura".

And, aha, here is likely why that station has that tune.

Komagome used to be called 染井村 (Somei Mura). It's supposedly the origin of that famous 染井吉野 (Somei-Yoshino) cherry tree.

Ebisu station has the beer company jingle. Its quite nice too.
