Here is a video of Iga City Hall's music siren, including the music box assembly operating and the timer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUMRuToHg4s

According to user toyu04 on twitter, a music siren was installed atop the Tomisuhara Elementary School in Yokkaichi in 1955. It played the songs "Bridal Doll", "Oh Susanna", and "Hungarian Rhapsody" at unknown times. A typhoon had severely damaged the music siren less than 5 years after in 1959, which resulted in removal.

Unfortunately, an image from two months ago of the Okayama Prefectural Government Office reveals that the 2nd generation music siren has been removed.

Someone made an absolutely brilliant video of the siren ontop the Iga City Hall.
The video has it all. Everything anyone could hope for.

Ziren, that exact video was already posted here if you scroll up a bit, just letting you know xD

The music siren atop the Toyota Motomachi factory has been found, and it's still in its original location!

Yep, a TV broadcast of TOKIWA's 1st generation music siren has been recorded and you can see the siren, dampers, etc up close in action!, Incase this video gets removed because of whatever reason, I have decided to download this video to archive it. The same exact person who uploaded this video also uploaded another close up video of the siren but its sounding off for 12 PM, I have also downloaded this video as well, Check them out!
