Japanese Alarm Clock "3-2-1 WAKE UP!"

Every day, my 1980s Japanese alarm clock blasts me awake with an Orwellian scram tone, while telling me "ARE YOU READY? THREE! TWO! ONE! WAKE UP!"

    The internet really is amazing. Just now, right out of the blue, something in my brain clicks and makes me remember this damn clock I had as a kid. Early 90's I believe. So I just type up what it said (more like shouted - impossible to forget) into google and boom, someone made a video of it. Just crazy. Thanks, man. A little piece of my childhood right here.

    My grandpa's had more of a train whistle sounding one. He passed in 2020 around my birthday from cancer. Never really got along with him but I'll always remember his train collection

    I remember seeing my Dad have an alarm clock like this in his old apartment and in Brooklyn ny from the time I was a baby and it's the best I've ever seen, and this is an alarm clock from 1987. I believe that my Dad still has this alarm kept as a memory and it makes me think about him whenever I watch this clip with the alarm clock alarming and the man's voice saying "Are you ready? - 3-2-1 wake up". Brings back memories from the time I was a baby in 1987.

    Mom worked at JCPenney in the lamps and gifts department. They had these clocks and sometimes I would have to hang out at the store after work with her because she wouldn't leave me home alone. So I spent time playing with the clocks. I thought this particular one was kind of creepy. Sure brings back memories! Thanks for sharing a little snippet from my childhood.

    I had that same audio clip as part of a toy train set "audio effects box"... there were 3 red buttons (if I recall correctly)... one made that "I rang, 3,2,1 wakeup!" the other was a steam train whistle and chugging clip"whoo whoo, chugga chugga chugga chugga", and the last was a train bell "ding ding ding ding"... you had to hold the buttons down to keep the audio pumping out. Interesting that it probably originated as a clock!!!

    Hi! I'm desperately trying to find the train version of this alarm clock. I used to have it and it looked like a dark red-black locomotive which would make the same sounds as this one in the video. Do you remember some additional Infos about this specific model? Thank you!
