Moscow announcement here is non-standard and quite old. On some occasions the Metro invites actors, singers and other celebrities (known mostly to those who watch Russian TV) to record temporary announcements for holiday season or some or other anniversary of something or else. This is one of those cases. Actual announcements sound different. Also, in Moscow (as well as in Kyïv, as far as I remember), when the train goes towards the city center, the announcements are male, and when towards the outskirts, female. That is done for convenience of blind people (who are not many but actually actively use the Metro) and also as an intuitive hint for everybody else. When that originally was implemented, back in Soviet times, it was like “center → work → boss calls” and “outskirts → home → wife calls”.
Paris announcements in foreign languages will depend on lines. Lines 1 has Japanese; German is mostly on Line 5, Italian on Line 14 and 3, Spanish on Line 4 For pickpokets, it will also depend on the line. When announcements are made in stations, Japanese comes often. At least English is after French in every occurrence. For those who like non standard station calls, Tram T3a and b have those as "audio art display", each station call has a different jingle and couple of voices (two announcements, one in a different voice, sometimes children voice ). And it's not temporary, it's a feature since extension of T3a and creation of T3b in 2012. Lines 1 and 14 also have non standard announcements for Halloween (some trains even feature orange lighting and cobwebs. Announcements are centered on Witchcraft and Wizardly world similar to Harry Potter (don't forget your luggage becomes "Don't forget to take your wand and broomstick with you" On Line 14, Halloween is frequently the occasion to become a ghost train ride for children at a set time in off peak hours. A staff member serves as animator and the train is programmd with unschedule braking and stops to make it behave like it was controlled by ghosts !
@@MichalakispublicTransportGames I do not know about you, but we have automatic translation of comments into Russian from almost all other languages. I translate: From what year did the author (that is, you) dig up this record? For more than ten years in the Moscow Metro, Yulia Romanova has been announcing the station in a female voice on all lines. And this record is very outdated and irrelevant.
