Ebisu has the "Harry Lime" theme from "The Third Man"? Wasn't expecting to recognise any... I wonder who was a fan of that film.

Yes, it's that song.

The station is named after a beer company that operates there, and they used their beer CM song for the station chime as well.

And the brewery got the name from Ebisu, a god who is believed to protect fishermen.
