Default Japan- Yodibashi song - traffic light sounds

I am looking for the Yodibashe departmentstore song, they play all day in
front of and in the shop. It is like a mickey mouse melody.
I am also looking for the melody they play when a traffic light turns green
for people crossing the street. In some cities they play a tune in Japan,
for example in Nagano.

Thank you.

If you don't have any luck here, you could try the fj.life.in-japan
newsgroup. I guess you mean the Yodobashi Camera store?

I have always wondered how the staff can handle the same song over and over
for years

I don't have a source for the words, but the melody is what
in the U.S. would be the "Battle Hymn of the Republic". I
know it's absolutely maddening to be wandering around
Yodobashi Camera (I usually go to the one near Shinjuku
Station) and be hearing that tune CONSTANTLY. I would
imagine the staff would go mad if they haven't developed some
way to tune it out. All I remember of the words is that it ends
with "Camera! Yodobashi Cam-er-a!!!!"

Oh, and note the spelling of their name. They've got a web
site (www.yodobashi.com), but it doesn't give even a hint of
having an English-language version.
