I remember listening to a couple songs from a japanese train company youtube channel a couple years ago and I really can't seem to find them any more. It had really pretty and fluid b&w pencil-like animation overlayed on top of irl footage overlooking the outside of a train window, and each song was named after a train line (maybe city?).

One song in particular had two versions (no animation vs animation), with a different vocalist singing each one.

I used to follow an artist who animated one of the vids on my old-old-old twitter account but I've lost track of them. If you recognize any of these traits or these videos, please lmk!

I will seriously pay you ten dollars if you find these sets of videos. I'll probably post a couple clips of me humming the melodies of a few notable ones just for documentation. I'm really desperate man :(

I did some quick searches in Japanese and couldn't find the specific videos you're describing, but I did find a set of songs based on various Japanese rail lines. The Railroad Songs (鉄道唱歌, Tetsudou Shouka) (Japanese wikipedia) were first published in 1900, and seem to have been pretty widely used in educational and promotional materials since then, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if those are the songs from the videos you saw. Here's a video of the songs with no footage or animation, just Japanese lyrics and a diagram showing what stop the song is at. I'm finding different versions of this played at different tempos, but does the melody sound right?
