Oh...been there, done that, but what's really not fun, is the "drunk rush". I live way north in Tokyo and there's a craZy drunk rush for those last trains on the Hibiya line on Friday and Saturday sometimes. If you score a seat you're good, but some stops (North of Roppongi mind you) get crazy with a rush and death push trying to fit everyone in. Fortunately I'm a sizable gaijin, or my petit koibito would have been crushed had I not been able to put my hands up against the wall. I saved another couple in front of me some grief as well.
