The local department store, where I live in Japan, has a car park. The 2 are connected by a 3rd floor walkway.
Once or twice a week I use this walkway.
They don’t play English music in the parkade or the department store, but there is always English music playing in this corridor.
Old 70’s music!
It’s my own personal time tunnel: Jim Croce’s “Operator” lives; so does Carole King’s “So Far Away”, and The Archies’ “Sugar, Sugar”.
Out of the car, into Nazareth’s “Holiday” for 10 seconds, and then I pop-out into the department store.
It’s fun running the gauntlet; it reminds me of the local radio station I listened to as a kid. Same songs, but they were new or mildly dated then.
Maybe it’s channeling CKAY 1500 AM “Voice of the Cowichan Valley” ; but at least it’s not channeling the Birthday Line crap.
I never did win a birthday cake from that program.
