That paint scheme doesn't do anything for me, but otherwise it seems like a pretty nice EMU.

 

The best thing, though, is that those videos have all kinds of interesting vegetation and trackside details for modeling ideas.

To me they look, well, "wormy", like alot of E series stock. The gangwayed stock is better (more "railroady"), though it does nothing for beauty.  I agree the paint scheme could be better (rainbows should be kept in kindergarten drawings, not on rolling stock).  Splash the JNR ltd. express livery on these (see gmat's recent post at Shinjuku), and maybe I'd photograph them.
