Today\u2019s updates are from London, UK<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tokyo Metro and Sumitomo Corporation have been selected to manage operations for the Elizabeth Line<\/strong>, the newest line on the London Underground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This made headlines in Japan\u2013UK news last year. Even the Elizabeth Line, which just opened in 2022, has a reputation for delays and weekend suspensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that Tokyo Metro will be involved in its operation, many are wondering: One thing is clear \u2014 things in the UK often don\u2019t run on time. Since coming to the UK, I noticed something surprising: Instead, trendy record shops \u2014 where you can buy vinyl records, coffee, and even clothes \u2014 are very popular in areas like Shoreditch, Camden, and Notting Hill. Here\u2019s one news item that shows this trend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n John Lewis Partners with Rough Trade to Sell Vinyl Records<\/strong> Imagine a store like Isetan in Japan teaming up with Tower Records \u2014 that\u2019s the vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Japan, CD sales still exist (just barely), but in the UK, people mostly stream music and choose vinyl records when they want a special experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tripleguns supports concerts, exhibitions, and business expansion both in Japan and overseas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your company, artist, or brand is looking to expand into international markets \u2014 we\u2019re here to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\u2460 Japan\u2019s Tokyo Metro to Operate London\u2019s Elizabeth Line (from May 2025)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Why? Because London\u2019s public transport is famously unreliable<\/strong>. Trains are often delayed, cancelled, or impacted by strikes \u2014 it\u2019s part of everyday life here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will \u201cJapanese-style\u201d train reliability come to London?<\/strong>
This will also be Tokyo Metro\u2019s first time running a train service outside Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you\u2019re headed to a concert or theatre show, always leave with plenty of time<\/strong> just in case!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
