Hello Kitty Shinkansen
Alright, nobody posted this.
JR West has refitted 500 Series Shinkansen train as Hello Kitty Shinkansen, making one round trip per day between Hakata and Shin-Osaka. As a self proclaimed train geek…, NO THANK YOU! I can hurl! :td: Hello Kitty Shinkansen |
JR Ea? |

Oh my gosh, soooo much PINK! I don't ordinarily care about what the outside of the train looks like but the inside should be comfortable. I agree with AA. That much pink could cause nausea.

Are those two MASSIVE cinema screens in the first car? That would make loads of kids happy. Lack of unhappy kids on a train and everybody should be content.
I’ll take it over the unbelievably yellow Rilakumma train with the violently yellow interior paper “cladding” on the Keikyu line (Shinagawa to Misaki - not the shortest trip). That must be a terrible commuting experience for anyone with a hangover. |
The JR Shikoku Anpanman trains were a bit disturbing for me and I've been on the Rilakumma train with jet lag. I sent photos to friends asking which Anpanman character was the most ominous or high. They're even on the interior ceiling staring down at you.
I have to give the Hello Kitty version a few points for including gachapon machines. Perhaps the other cars have less interior theming? |
This looks like half the rooms in my home. |
This is how you do hello kitty theme. Not like EVAs halfass attempt. |

Confession
I love Hello Kitty®. I do not care if you think that somehow emasculates my manliness. :-:
What is binding my credit card / hotel / rental car affiliation cards wallet is Hello Kitty adhesive tape. :D I shall refrain from mentioning what other Hello Kitty artifacts I possess. Many kudos to J.R. :^ |

It is yet to be seen if the bathrooms have Hello Kitty toilet paper.

It replaced the Evangelion Shinkansen, right? So overall there's still the same number of anime/kawaii/whatever Shinkansen and not an increase, so there's that. Regardless, there's already that Anpanman train in Shikoku, occasional Rilakkuma trains on the Yamanote or Keikyu Main Line, etc. I'm not a Hello Kitty fan by any means but I wouldn't actively avoid this train.
