Lower Red band at least make the N700S look interesting.

 

6 cars?

Looks really great

 

The black front logo applied makes really "automotive industry". 

 

I really love the seats and the effort done for disabled people.

At what speed will it be running?

[disturbman]

I can’t wait for the end of the Eiji Mitooka era. His use of text is completely over the top and lacks finesse.

Or like a face. Like a cute animal. That's what my wife thought.

Local  TV news report:

That head mark gives it an Alfa Romeo look. Certainly a N700S model i’d happily purchase. 

 

Are these intended to run just between Hakata and Nagasaki?

[disturbman]

No, they will run on the partial line between between Takeo Onsen and Nagasaki.

Exactly the brand I was thinking of. 

 

If they release this N700S, it'll be the first Shinkansen I'll purchase as I don't have any Shinkansen

I also think the livery is an great improvement on previous N700S liveries. For some reason the nose looks far better on this model than previous shinkansens, though I prefer the E5 color scheme overall.

[jappomania]

I agree at 111% with Vincent (Disturbman), livery colors are OK, but the name written 7-8 time on every side, logos on each free corner....

.....and for those that after all forget the name, a free KAMOME tatoo on the buttoks ?? 😜 ??

imagine... a nightmare with DR.Yellow with name written on each car (yes, like RFI Diamante or Aiace ...or Frecciarossa)
a 16 cars N700 Kodama-Kodama-Kodama-Kodama-.........Nozomi-Nozomi-Nozomi-Nozomi.....🥶

 

I prefer the first project, just red+white, I don't like the "eyeliner" and the ALFA stile "scudetto" (is good on Alfa cars, not trains...) just miss a couple of moustache and the rat face is done

The livery itself is great, that red is beautiful, but I think most graphic designers would have an attack to see so much text being so needlessly repeated. A simple logo with the name once by car would have been enough. Not this constant repetition every where.

 

I remember someone—was it @Socimi?—had described this livery as “peak-Mitooka”.

Shinkansen graffiti!

 

its called Mitooka putting his tag on everything.

Well, i'd gladly take the honour, but in reality, the first one to use the phrase was actually you:

Exactly, and as Tomoha noted, a lot of the details won’t be seen by travelers.

 

If the rendering is the final design, I think we might have reached peak-Eiji Mitooka studio and might see a change in paradigm.

 

I do have taken a liking for it, and i'll be using it quite frequently, however the one and only original is yours.

 

[disturbman]

Damn… 😂

 

That’s a first, I’m unknowingly quoting myself. I must be getting past my own peak.

[cteno4]

Dude it was your evil twin, I thought we banned him from the forum for good!
