I like the oval windows! I know I'm getting less window per unit of train compared to western windows, but they look nicer.

The oval windows are a Japanese novelty too. This train was designed in the 90s to be retrofuturistic in style, most trains look much more mundane.

Reminds me of the movie Rocketeer in design.

and is it beautiful , 60s futurism meets real future and the simple shining blue color also helps
