Ressha Melody Box

Exactly as I expected it! Shipping was fast!

Goods came bubble wrap and in gd condition. Tested the box and all in working condition.

Live it very nice ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This little device has brought joy to me and other people who ride with me. It has a great build quality and it’s very easy to operate. It does distort at high volumes but I found that having it a little bit past half volume it’s more than enough. Overall I would easily recommend this to anyone trying to spice up their car

After owning it for a month, I figured I should share some more detailed thoughts on my experience for those who are considering purchasing this.

It's a great product, but with a few minor issues. Sound becomes distorted near max volume, so if you plan to use this at max volume be aware that the otherwise excellent sound quality takes a hit. Max volume will most likely not be necessary for the majority of users but it's worth mentioning.

There are no included mounting options. Given the price, a strip of 3M double-sided tape at the very least would be appreciated.

Charging an additional $15USD to add your own track is excessive. For $90USD plus shipping, you'd be better off assembling your own device and loading your own sounds (which can be done for half the price with some rudimentary knowledge of wiring). With that being said, the included jingles and voices sound great, and offering custom sound and voice recordings is a nice touch.

The build quality is good overall but the buttons are mushy. For changing tracks, this isn't an issue, but for changing volume a tactile click would be useful.

Despite these criticisms, I really do like this device and would buy it again. There's nothing quite like it on the market, so if you would like to add a bit of flair to your vehicle, I highly recommend it.

Love it. Brings a smile to my face every time I start my car up. Also got a couple of friends to get one too, and they were also happy with their.

So happy to get my hands on this. Sound is great quality and packaging was amazing. Great attention to detail. Such a great accessory.

If you're looking for the subtle JDM feel, thsi is they way to go!
Absolutely great quality and product.

Great sound quality and easy to use

Wonderful product. Works as it should, worth the wait.

Product worked great and exactly how shown. Unfortunately mine broke after about 2 weeks because the micro usb connector from the box broke and fell inside.

It’s really cool and easy to use.

Makes getting into my car 1000x more enjoyable. Awesome edition to any project car or anyone that enjoys the little things in life.

I do not regret the purchase at all :)

Best item ever . Most definitely buying more products from you (Import Bible)

This is my second time buying this product, I installed for reverse sound and another one for engine start, sound quality super loud and clear, will repeat order again.. 😬😎

It looks and feels like really good quality in the hand, the quality of the audio is super good and works perfectly. Its such a little thing that makes a big difference! Sadly the box it comes in was really damaged, probably due to the terrible quality of our national postal service. Needs more bubble wrap.

Awesome !
Ordered from the UK and arrived very quickly. Does exactly as claimed, just a really nice JDM touch for the enthusiasts. Super easy to hard wire to my MK1 Miata !

Thank you !

i was thinking it was some low quality, actually i really impressed by the quality of the plastic and the speaker, looking forward to see if it will last. only thing your gonna need some double-side tape other than that i am really happy, i recommend it.

Awesome! A little pricey but worth it!!

If you're going to buy this thing, order 2 right off the bat for reverse and greeting, easiest way to wire it is to get a cheapo lighter extension and tap it to 12v and ground, same for reverse, just tap rear light 12v and whatever ground.

Only complaint was that the box doesn't really have any way to mount it to a car, you have to use either double-sided tape or pry the box open and drill holes.
There's a slight crackling of the speaker at max volume, but the thing is LOUD even in my padded bimmer, can hear it clearly even outside the car with the windows down from the footwell

I love it! Always me to have the sounds of Japan for now until I can go back and visit again!

I absolutely love my melody box.

Love it, always wanted something like this and now I have it 😁

Love it so much! So many track options, it’s perfect! :)

One of the coolest accessories to have in your car. Love that there are so many tracks to choose from.
Every time I hear it on start up it puts a smile on my face.

Thought the price was steep initially, but I bought one anyway because I am impulsive when it comes to my car shit. I would've paid $200 for this thing because it always puts a smile on my face and the people who ride with me. I wired a port for it into my glove box so it sounds really nice coming from the dash. I can also adjust the speaker loudness perfectly. I would definitely recommend the purchase if you are on the fence, you won't regret it (unless you need the money for food lol).

Loves it, awesome detail to my everyday drive.

Plugged it into my usb port and instantly blessed my ears with chimes

Really adds character to the car, and I can’t wait to show my friends this. Lots of different sound effects to choose from and you can even change the volume level. Installation was super easy and fits right in the center console. Couldn’t be happier with it, although a little pricey considering how small it is. Still worth it imo.

awesome melody box!!!

Greetings from Singapore!

I wanted to get the version that allows you to add a custom track but didn't know stock version meant the basic one. I thought "Stock" meant "in-stock". All good though as the normal version has plenty of options.

Just amazing quality and design. Definitely worth it

Pretty cool! I really liked it, it is a tiny bit expensive, I feel, but it is really, really cool. I love it in my car!

Coolest thing you can have in your car!

The melody box so awesome and sound so clear quality, want to purchase another one again to add for reserve sound, 10 star for this product, keep it up.. 😬😎

The item purchased was great! As it was a gift, the person that I gifted it to loves it! Thank you!

Only the 12v cigarette lighter adapter is spoiled others so satisfy ~

Amazing compact product. Definitely a nice touch. Do yourselves a favor and get one!

I love it! It has so many chimes to choose from!

Super awesome purchase I made
No complaints Best Purchase of 2021!!!!!

good quality product . Thank you !

I love it!!!!! Best timing I bought 2021.

Nothing else like it on the market

Great melody box, reminds me of simpler times in Japan. It's a nice touch to hear when you get in the car. Unfortunately the adapter that was provided did not work in my Mazda, but that's not Import Bible's fault. Overall, satisfied with my purchase.

This is such an awesome little gadget! It's super easy to set up and use, and it has so much variety. It puts a smile on my face every time I get in my car and doesn't fail to brighten my day. The size is perfect and packaging was great. The shipping was relatively fast too!

Item works wonderful!!
Just wish the packaging was a little more
Secure. The plastic box got crushed in shipping.

Finest quality. Packaging is very creative. Very thought out product. Small and discreet. I can hide it anywhere and my Co Pilots would be like “wtf was that?” I’m very pleased with this product and will be looking forward to purchasing future products. Shipping was fast as well.

Very fast shipping despite the pandemic. Can see that each product was handled with care! Can't wait to install it in my car! Thanks again David!

After living in Japan for 6 months and not being able to return due to the pandemic, this little box gave me a small slice of the sounds from Japan.

I bought this out of impulse and wasn't disappointed. Product came just as described. Easy to install. Sounds great. The shipping was fast too despite COVID-19 being a factor. Cool little addition to my car!

Definitely one of the coolest car accessories on the market! just plug it in and go! I bought it as a gift, but now i need to order more and one for myself!

Just received mine and I love it. So easy to figure out just plug in and that’s it. The owner even reached with delay notice and why it was happening. Seriously recommend buy from the site

So sick! I’m about to order my third box! 👹

It's a subtle, but nice addition to my car. This definitely takes the hassle out of looking for and installing an ECR. Nice job, Import Bible, the Melody Box is a hit!

Impulse purchase, a great source of joy the second I turn on my car to ready myself for the crazy LA traffic. Plug and play, loud and clear, son might actually enjoy it more than me lol Great little addition to the dadmobile, glad I stumbled along the Ressha Melody Box, great item!

Love the ressha melody box. So much fun.

Super awesome item! Can’t wait to try it in the car :)

The Ressha Melody Box is great, especially whenever looking for an ETC reader alternative. Being a Yokohama native, familiar with the many the train jingles there are, I was super stoked to find out various Yamanote line jingles were on the box. Finding this out, I impulse bought the Ressha Melody Box. I do not regret it one bit, and the nostalgia that ensues makes the Ressha Melody Box priceless for me.

Delivery was very fast, sounds Great! Only thing i noticed was that the shell(gap) of the music box was misaligned with the micro usb port(inside the box) a bit challenging to push in(half way was covered via shell), also the cigarette usb port was dead(easily replaced). Small enough to be hidden in my s2000.

Super awesome and sounds great, can hear it perfectly over my loud exaust

Better than expected. It doesn't matter how loud or quiet your car is, this melody box has the right volume setting for you. It's easy to use, and it can be as loud or as quiet as you want. And you'll never get bored of it with all the chimes you can choose. It gives me a smile every time I start my car.

Everything as advertised, great sound quality and volume, easy quick installation and a TON of tracks to choose from, from phrases to little chimes. Have mine set to “Powered by Toyota.” Definitely will be accommodating this little powerhouse in all my future cars.

Absolutely love this! It's small enough that I can put it literally anywhere in my car and it's still loud enough to be heard. I have mine set as "Thank you please buckle up (JP)" and it makes my daily drive to work feel less lonely.

The melody box is awesome, loud, and clear with many different tracks to use. Totally recommend it to anyone who digs the JDM life.

Best purchase I made to start the new year right.

Super high quality, excellent packaging. Loud and clear sound production and love how many tracks it could play. I have mine set to the “Powered by Mazda” clip. Mines actually velcro’d behind my driver seat and still very clear and JDM vibes. Absolutely love it.

Great sound quality, easy to set up and use.

I love my melody box. I am going to buy one for each of my cars

10/10 Best interior purchase. It gives your car a little bit of spice ;D

Got what i asked for works great and it's a great addition to my miata!

Very high quality! I'm more than happy with the product and highly recommend it!

It takes a genius to create such a good product, and I think we found one! I saw a friend purchased one of these for his vehicle and I just knew I had to get my hands on one. I am so glad I did, and judging by how common it is to be out of stock due to high demand, I’m pretty sure it’s a hit! I purchased mine with the custom greeting and melody and I want to thank David for really going above and beyond to create the perfect melody box. Also, don’t be fooled! The melody box is quite small making placement simple, but the sound is very crisp and clear. You can adjust the volume settings to your liking if you need to. If you’re looking to add the perfect JDM flare, get this.

Love it, hope there will be more sound clips added.

Works great, packaging is fantastic, couldn't be happier

Perfect little side passenger to greet while getting in the car and will buy another one soon for a family member.

Nice thing to have in the car to surprise the homies

After a week of using it, it makes me love it even more. You can even adjust the volume up and down. Trust me is loud enough. Its a gem. Worth the money!

Packaging was perfect, and I was surprised how clear the audio is! Would buy again for my next car.

I finally have something that helps me feel I’m not alone in the car and actually cares about my life by telling me to buckle up.

Amazing. Love when it tells me to buckle up! Makes me wanna drive safe afterwards.

Amazing little box, some may hate on it and call it rice but it brings a smile to my face as well as any of my passengers when they hear it, the fact it comes pre loaded with so many sayings is awesome, you can always add your own as well!

Last year while traveling through Japan, i fell in love with the sounds of the city! And now to have a melody box that delivers part of that is absolutely perfect!!!!

Way cooler than I expected. Super compact so it was easy to find a place for it. Loved all the audio options! Puts me in a good mood when I get in my car. Thanks!

This melody box is amazing. Makes me smile everytime I start my car. Super easy to install and has many different phrases it can say at a loud enough volume. Worth every penny.

Brilliant little nugget of JDM Aesthetics. Brings a lil weeby smile to my fave everytime I start up the car. Easy to install and LOUD if needed. Fantastic Quality. Would recommend.

I love this melody box so much already, the packaging was very nice and clear instructions. Every time I turn my car on I get a smile on my face, takes me back to when I was living in japan. I will be purchasing another one once in stock for my other car.

I love it thank you David !!!! Sat in my car for awhile turning it on and off. Matches the sequence of my defi gauges too!

What a fun product. Definitely a nice touch every time I turn on my car.

Best product I’ve ever purchased

Great addition to the car. Never doesn't put a smile on my face.

My favourite place in the world packed into one sound box that lights up my day whenever I start my drive.
The sound quality on this device is amazing, I was expecting a lower quality build for what it is but the sound that comes out, beautiful high quality MP3. Packaging is also quality, demonstrates attention to detail and passion put into this product. Everything from greeting you, your car make, to even the sounds of the train, all brings tears to my eyes (there is high variety for the sound that you want). The product was shipped pretty quickly too, which I appreciate. I also regret not doing a custom sound one. I also appreciate the person message that David Nguyen gave me on the card sent with the package.

Very good customer service!!! The owner David Nguyen was very quick, flexible and cooperative to making my situation right. Loving the melody box truly one of a kind!

It is so amazing, would for sure reccomend

fastest delivery but sadly product was broken most likely when it arrived in states

I just ordered one and I really can't wait for it to come already. Watched the videos and it got me hooked. Going in the e90 as soon as it comes.

Legit biscuits! Fun novelty item that adds that extra JDM influence in your build. Sounds a little distorted at full volume but very crisp and audible. Can’t seem to find a way to wire reverse functions though.

I love melody box and the tracks and how i can adjust volume It's so cool. Every time somebody gets in my car they complimented. It's worth every penny.

Great service and a very funny Melody Box
Thank you for the cool stuff

This is a must have for any JDM car! It makes turning on your car that much more enjoyable and new passengers always get a kick out of it.

Maaaaan it's pretty rad. Like even my non weeb friends find it cool. Way louder than I thought. Nice and hidden in my car and makes me happy when I get going

It's a fun novelty item. Really brings up good memories of being in Japan. I was a little disappointed in the quality of the boxes construction for the price I payed. It does not feel sturdy. But it's fun

From the first moment I discovered it, I needed to have one!
I ordered it, and within a bit more than 2 weeks I received it, it sounds great and plenty of phrases to choose, and the fact that you only need to plug in to a usb just makes everything much more easier!

Really good product, well worth the money.

I own two of these for my daily and racekor. That’s how cool they are, my favorite is having people ride in my car and going WTH was that when I start my car. Even my dad was impressed.

worked 100% volume can get loud. I love it.

Works as intended. I liked all the choices it had!

My GF absolutely loved this product. Thank you

Plugged in my box, and unplugged it and the little port you plug it in broke

Works great. Isnt quiet either. Totally recommend. Makes me smile when i start my car.

I've never got so excited about this product. When I plugged it in my car. I knew that I'm going to like/love it.
Thank you so much from this melody box. Worth every penny for any car enthusiast out there. Whether your car is US, Euro or japanese car heck em haters. Do whatever your heart desires and drives you happy.

Fast service and the melody box was great, it gets loud enough to easily here no matter where i put it.

Really dope device, a lot of different options. Definitely a good purchase. However, it could have been at bit cheaper. It wasn’t worth 100$ cad.

One of the coolest additions/ cool factors I’ve added to my car. Gives it that Jdm factor and gets lots of thumbs up. Comes with plenty pre loaded greetings to choose from. Makes starting my car more enjoyable. Definitely recommend!

This is such a cool novelty item. I am a big fan of cars and Japanese culture so this was a must ! The sound is quite loud (I was afraid it might have been to low but it works great!) I also agree with some reviewers that I wish there was an indicator or better way to tell what sound you were on but other than that awesome purchase !

I have been enjoying the various greeting chimes you can set up before your drive. Easy installation, no issues where the sound cuts off. The sound volume is quite loud if you want turn it up. Very nice novelty item, to add a bit more character to your ride.

It makes getting in my car and driving all the more enjoyable! Definitely worth the money and with the numerous tracks built into it, I may never get bored of it!

I honestly love my melody box! I think its definitely worth it for the novelty and the character it brings to my build. Instillation was simple and I was able to hide the box and wires but still hear the audio clearly. My one gripe is the difficulty of rotating between audio tracks as I have to pause and listen to each track in order to find the audio I'm looking for. Despite the small difficulty of choosing sound tracks, I love the box for its functionality and how it makes me smile when I start my car.

a really cool addition. it's a novelty item, but it'll put a smile on your face every time you start your car. Mine does work as expected and plays the welcome message conveniently before my stereo kicks in. It's hard to put a price on something like that, but it does seem a little costly for what it does. I guess it largely depends on the build quality and how long it lasts which remains to be seen.

Hopefully, Ver 2 resolves the 'restart' issue, and maybe us early adopters could get an upgrade at a discount when that comes around.

Apart from it being super distorted when loud, having to reset it here and there, and the charger port’s small box cut out which didn’t sit the USB cable in flush, the box itself is exactly what you want and expect. Great little piece that gives you a smile every time you start the car.

Very loud and easy to install.
Sometimes it cuts the first word and it needs to be reset, but overall great product.
a little bit pricey for what it does and for having that small issue.

Works as intended, having to reset it is a little disappointing but overall it's a good replacement for the stock buzzer in my AE86.

Pretty cool! Use it as a reverse chime. Wide range of music to choose from. Volume can be adjusted pretty high. Easiest to use for inside your car. Need to be creative for outside mounting.

Cons: Really not “weather proof” nor made to be used outside of car for backup chime. I’ll see how long it lasts. Required a lot of effort to install. No mounting points, had to use heavy duty 3m tape. Only power source was usb, bought a 5v micro usb converter to a 2 wire 12v to tap into reverse light.

Had it for about 1 month now. Intermittently stopped working for a few hours once. But back to normal now. I don’t know why.

Overall I like it. Sorta novelty item that normal people “don’t get” but hey it grabs their attention and they stop walking in parking lots with their heads buried in their phones! Instead they are confused by the Japanese lady talking. A little bit safer for pedestrians who don’t pay attention and possibly someone that I can’t see.
