If you were getting off the train at either station, your dad must have worked at Tachikawa.

Nope. My folks were missionaries, and Dad worked in downtown Tokyo at AVACO (Christian Audio Visual Aids Center) near Shinjuku. But we lived within walking distance of ASIJ where the Mission Board built a house for us to live in, equidistant from either Mitaka or Musashisakai stations, right next to the ICU (Intnl Chrstn Univ) golf course fence. ("Go Mustangs! Beat the Devils! ... 2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits, a dollar, all for Mitaka stand up and holler!" :-) :-) Nothing personal) So your "Devils" basketball teams would have also played the same other teams we did ... CAJ, St Marys, Narimasu, Zama, Canadian Academy, etc. Memories! Mukashi mukaaaaaaaashi...
