Pokemon bullet trains
July 20th, 2008 by James
JR East has launched special Pokemon bullet trains:
At Ueno Station, Pokemon character Pikachu made an appearance and saw off smiling children boarding the bullet trains.
“I was surprised to see Pikachu, but I really like the character so I’m happy,” said one 7-year-old boy who was traveling to Iwate Prefecture with his family on the first day of operation. “It’s a cool bullet train,” he added.
JR East is operating four decorated trains on the Tohoku and Joetsu Shinkansen lines and one on each of the Yamagata, Akita and Nagano Shinkansen lines.

Wait a minute. It was big news when some graffiti artisits managed to tag a bullet train. So they held the train up and cleaned it.. and now a week later they’re proud about having a clean bullet train contaminated with this graffiti on every single car.
Maybe one of those old ladies who complained about cosplayers “ruining” (yet financially saving) some precious flower park will moan about this disgrace to the Japanese shinkansen.
How cute. I would like to ride that train.
