Donna Burke has the most famous voice heard in Japan. The Australian expat first moved to the country in the 1990s, hoping to make it as a singer. Now, she's the voice of the Tokaido Shinkansen, commonly known as the bullet train, and her announcements are heard by more than 400,000 people in Japan every day. The World's Jeremy Siegel first reported this story from Japan in January.
