Japan somehow managed to turn a bullet train into an emotional support mascot and honestly the world feels slightly less fun now that it’s ending.
Japan has a mascot for almost anything, there’s more than enough to fill that hole in your life.
8 years doesn’t sound like a healthy life span for a train. What’s the flaw?
The actual train is >30 years old, it was only painted like that 8 years ago. (Probably repainted a couple of times too lol)
It has spent 8 years in the Hello Kitty wrap, but entered service in 1996.
The 500 series Shinkansen trains were built in the 90ies so it would be more like 30 years.
