    Hahaha, I’ve heard about these “push-men” but never actually saw them in action!

    Ahhh. The fans blowing some woman’s hair into your face . . . into your eyes . . . into your ear . . . into your nose. Someone else’s sweat dripping . . . down the back of your neck. Such fond memories . . .

    That looks like one of the Seibu lines – women beware!

    Looks chaotic doesn’t it..! In my experience of working in central central Tokyo I never experienced anything quite like that – my guess is that the train in the depiction was the commuters final chance to make the closure time for an event of significant cultural importance, or an approaching natural disaster, to the final transit point. The carriages were extremely old and defunct looking for Tokyo standards, and the amount of sunlight suggested late afternoon so my guess would be they were adamantly and single-mindedly focused on getting the last train home ahead of an approaching typhoon. There did appear to be an atmosphere of mildly unerving panic in the air.

    Pretty crazy. Looks like a Seibu Ikebukuro or Shinjuku Line. The amazing thing about these trains though is that they are still very punctual and reliable, when it comes to time. And no one seems to get hurt as well.
