Why this phrase

Did-you-catch-that for the JR platform announcement 駆け込み乗車はおやめください. Play the line, freeze the tourist mid-sprint, then reveal. Catching this one clause is the whole video. Running in gets the door, a scolding, or both. Timed for the Sept 1 commute crush when August's empty cars disappear.
