A version of "Poupée De Cire, Poupée De Son," the winning 1965 song by France Gall (Luxembourg) plays as the departure song at the Ningyocho Station on the Toei Asakusa Line in Tokyo, Japan. The first half of the mini arrangement plays when the train is going in the direction of the Nishi-Magome area, the second half plays when the train is heading for Oshiage.

Eurovision Fact #714:

Luxembourg's first two winning songs, "Nous Les Amoureux" from 1961 by Jean-Claude Pascal and "Poupée De Cire, Poupée De Son" by France Gall from 1965, were deemed controversial at the time. This was because Pascal's song discussed homosexuality via the usage of vague pronouns and Gall's song was jam packed with double entendre.
