Head on it looks surprisingly good, especially with that colour scheme.

Especially the first picture in the first video made me appreciate the aerodynamic curves, but I also noticed the huge space between both axles on the bogies.

The second video is cool, it sounds like a jet engine.

The E6 uses DT210/210A bogies, which utilize twin dampers, the first (?) use of such a system on shinkansen rolling stock.

It's probably not new for Shinkansen, but it's much more space than conventional stock. I just never paid attention to it.
