Why this phrase
Did you catch that? Japanese trains announce the exit side before every stop, which is why the whole car shuffles in unison five seconds early. Play the real line, freeze, then isolate the only two words that matter, 右側 and 左側. With a suitcase in a packed car, being on the wrong side means riding to the next station.
