Shuppatsu shinko! (Let's GO!)

Seriously funny, this train driver on the Ikegami line shouted this out as he departed from each station. He also did this slightly bizarre checking routine: checked the monitors (with pointed finger) to be sure everyone was on board, checked the time on the clock on the station platform (with pointed finger) and then checked his own watch with slow motion pointed finger to be sure it all was all in sync, then pointed as above and shouted out as we departed. He also shouted out every time we approached a green signal light, saying (with pointed finger) "Green light!"...wonder what would have happened if it was red...
