I appreciate that they even showed the cleaning staff and how they operate as well. I like Kanako Taki's attitude and her approach to her work. Everyone is very respectable in their jobs.
work ethic in japan is something else, almost everyone has pride in what they do. but it’s also how they are raised/schooling, even the office workers taking the train have a very unique way of doing business deals, or even over the phone deals… lots of respect to the japanese honestly
6:57 you nearly killed me wtf
i was about to comment this😂
I thought it was about to become a transformer
💀💀
I visited Tokyo once. It's crazy how clean that city is. The bathrooms in gas stations are "hospital clean".
Whereas in America, you could potentially contract chlamydia from peeing in a gas station urinal lol
You haven't seen places in India and our curropt politician - beauracrats. Think before complaining
depends what gas station you go to
Lol, come to Africa or south Asia The public bathrooms are on another Level
God that _exploded view_ at the end scared me.
SAme
Me 2
It freaked the hell outta me
The last exploded view was the scariest part of the video..
That's freaking me out
Japan has a very special place in my heart their technology their 🚆 just outstanding
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 NIV
ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame”
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.””
Luke 19:10
God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! ❤️🤗
I think Kanako san wanted to say, "precision beats power, timing beats speed."
I didn't think Japan could still surprise me today, but this is honestly impressive.
The discipline the Japanese have is admirable.
6:57 guys it’s like 1AM that legit scared me
What a coincidence i was also startled by that and its currently 1:35am
0:34 "Autobots transform!"
Look up "Shinkalion" it's pretty funny
I like the way how the engine opens all of a sudden
This is unbelievable. They're just fantastic.
One of the reason why Japan is more organized than other countries
Is because they know their priorities and building it fast
This technology just blows my mind
stop scaring people with the 3D section god damn it !
train lore
Shinkansen lore, get real
can we appreciate the simulation of video which is very fantastic..this shoul d get more views
This is totally an outstanding performance and Military precision… 🇯🇵
man that conductor uniform is beautiful
If you want to see just how badly your country does things, go visit Japan where whatever it is you want to compare is done better. They are a remarkable people.
4:00 I'm Japanese and I can confirm this is very true
Same here
Stop lying
Ye I watched it in some anime
who asked?
Great to see this machine in India very soon with the collaboration with Japanese Gov, many thanks for such transformation help to us Japan ❤️
The hell dude that exploding inside view at the end scared the shit out of me!!
Wait wait...They issued an apology because the train was 20 secs..early. 20 secs EARLY!!!.. I'm here in New York waiting for my 1,243,543,345th apology from the MTA..Our trains are so late they make sure to tell you to " include train delays into your travels.."
I think he said it left the station 20 seconds early, which is kind of bad because 20 seconds is quite long when it comes to the little things
@ That's not bad considering it is still 19 seconds longer than you
@ Well she came back home and told me she didn't want to tell you truth that you are the biggest disgrace in the world.
Tbh, the American rail system is probably the worst in the west. A sacrifice to the altar of the car. But even here in Europe it can be a total shitshow.
In Japan: we must neither be early or late with our supertrains or it is dishonor to families!!!
In USA: our trains will get there when they get there
"I missed my train because it left too early." Thats skills. Usually, they are leaving or arriving late.
Anyone wondering why it says "a crew of 22 cleaners" for the entire train? It's because Japanese are known to be clean on their surroundings, the crew mostly do is to just adjust the seats and a bit of finishing touches and train is good for another ride.
This system is planned Dallas- Houston in Texas, USA. The control center monitors the high-speed train. 1:52
wow, super impressed with japanese high tech. nice to see how great a country it is.
I love how Japan's bullet trains look futuristic wothout being pretentious like Elon Musk's Vegas Loop which are just claustrophobic tunnels for Teslas disguised as "the way of the future".
thanks, our school is doing countries to make a project for, I was super lucky getting japan, and this really helped for the science part.
Hats off to the animation team!
Really it is a nice vlog for one who are joining Railways and it is explained very well. Thank you so much for the vlog and please make a vlog on how does the braking system works on a Japanese bullet train.
0:34 that’s amazing
6:58 you nearly gave me a heartattack goshhhhhh
Clean, Discipline, Hardworking, Time Management.
Only in Japan
Amazing people indeed
The graphics are so realistic , it increased my anxiety lol
The fact that they respect the cleaners is a plus
0:34 *i was high and this shit scared the fuck out of me*
Train in Japan departed 20 seconds early: Massive Public Apology
Meanwhile train in my country Arrived 10 minutes late and departed 10 minutes late because of failure: Commit Seppuku
Excellent video. Thank you for making this.
Japan introduce the bullet train in the 60's. They not only had the foresight but also the engineering prowess. One country understood this well how it will helped the country's economy like it did for Japan. And it is copying the success. China.
As an UG in Technology, Japan isn't a country, it's an emotion ;)
Don't bring it down to just Emotion. Why are you getting so emotional ??
For all those who think wanting to be a train driver is weird. Imagine driving a plane on land.
The Japanese are an elegant people who deserve respect ❤️🇯🇵 😭 I love you🥺🌹
Gay
0:31 I just sprayed baby sauce
The fastest line in Japan however, is the Tohoku Shinkansen from Tokyo to Sendai and further north
But they become late for 5 hours
@@hamanakohamaneko7028 What do you mean? Every Shinkansen is super punctual
@@qwertyuiopzxcvbnm9890 Not all. All trains in Tokaido Shinkansen are the same, so in case anything happens, it is easy to find replacements. Meanwhile in Tohoku Shinkansen there are really specialized trains so it is difficult to replace when delayed.
@@hamanakohamaneko7028 And how often a year are the delayed? 2 times?
@@qwertyuiopzxcvbnm9890 yes. Last March where trains were late for more than 2 hours, and last October when they were late for 8 hours
I have got to go to Japan. My goodness
Very interesting! Their train stations are amazing 🥺 come one New York😔😩😩
Can you share me information about the sleeper of bullet train and what type of technology is use
When western world went crazy about plane, Japan was thinking it's too mainstream. A flying train.
Japan is something special, for sure. Good documentary. A bit dramatic sound and commentry though..
I wasn't ready for 0:33
Great animation
Where's the ATC?
(Shinkansen ATC is not similar to those used in planes; it is a system that controls the train speed, if it detects the train going over, let's say 70 km/h after leaving Osaka, the ATC will automatically apply brakes until the train speed matched the limit.)
ATC speeds for the Shinkansen depend on the line it is serving.
For trains running west of Tokyo (Osaka, Okayama, Hiroshima, Kokura, Hakata) the original speeds are 0, 30, 70, 110, 160 and 210 km/h. However, an upgrade was made to increase the speed and accomodate newer rolling stock. So the new one is set at 0, 30, 70, 120, 170, 220, 230, 255, 270, 275, 285 and 300 km/h.
For trains running east of Tokyo (Omiya, Sendai, Aomori, Kanazawa, Niigata) the speeds are set to 0, 30, 70, 110, 160, 210 and 240 km/h. DS-ATC, a variant of ATC-2, replaced these.
gotta hand it to the japanese. the Danish IC3 can only reach 205 km pr hour (if pushed) usually never exceeds 165-180 on regular basis.
The bullet train makes it look like the legoland train
Too much sharing with local trains
To be fair the IC3 can accelerate twice as fast as some of these trains which is impressive for a diesel and slightly more important for small Denmark.
Why is it that Japan's bullet trains (SHINKANSEN) have been able to run for almost 60 years without derailment and without passenger casualties, even after major earthquakes?
And why is it possible for high-speed Shinkansen trains to operate safely in the snow without interruption, despite the fact that Japan is one of the world's snowiest winter regions?
This is possible because the Shinkansen makes use of Japan's abundant water resources, and all the mechanisms are designed from the manufacturing stage with the occurrence of natural disasters in mind.
The Shinkansen is not designed for high-speed operation alone.
Therefore, even if one were to copy and imitate in form only the mechanism of the Japanese Shinkansen, which can run even in snow, it would not be able to operate stably in the heavy snowfalls.
The reason for this is that Japan, an island nation, and China, a continent, have completely different topographies and weather conditions, but there is no consideration or improvement for these differences.
It is not surprising that simply duplicating a mechanism that fundamentally overlooks these geopolitical and climatic differences will not work.
This is because the environmental requirements and problems to be solved are different from those in Japan.
Snow removal methods invented in Japan can only be used in the Japanese environment.
Because Japan is a geopolitically volcanic island, it has a natural environment with an abundance of clear water that gushes out almost for free. The snow removal system was conceived and designed based on this abundance of water.
In the first place, on an arid continent where water resources are scarce, this method cannot be used and will not work from the start.
The only way to deal with this is to come up with a different method suited to the continental environment from scratch.
Nevertheless, if this point is ignored and the system is simply copied from Japanese mechanisms, Japanese snow removal methods and mechanisms for high-speed rail in a continental environment will be wasteful, costly, and unprofitable.
We must not forget that Japan has an idiom that warns against wasteful spending, "use it like hot or cold water," and that everyone uses this phrase as a matter of course in their daily lives.
To understand the feeling and common sense of this idiom, you must live in the special environment of Japan yourself to realize it.
In other words, Japanese technology has been developed and perfected by using wisdom and making improvements upon improvements to overcome Japan's unique and special natural environment and to take advantage of the resources it is blessed with.
If we are to imitate them, we must learn from this process of thinking and devising unique ways of thinking from the natural environment.
What Japanese religion, culture, behavior, norms, and traditions have in common is the existence of a natural environment that is the antithesis of good and evil.
Japan is a land of abundant fresh water and food resources compared to anywhere else in the world, and at the same time, it is a land of harsh, large-scale natural disasters that occur on a regular basis.
In order to survive as a species in this environment, they have developed a way of thinking that does not deny the environment, but rather accepts it, and how to coexist with it, making the most of the rich parts of nature and overcoming the dangerous parts of the natural environment.
This is the common underlying factor and way of thinking across a wide range of Japanese cultures.
This is not something that people around the world who grow up in different environments have in common.
Even among Asian countries, the cultures and ways of thinking that have developed in continental and island countries are naturally different because of their completely different environments.
love the intro love japan aaaaahhh
JAPAN IS MY FAVOURITE in :36 i thought the train exploded and turn into small piece
29 year looks 16 year old kid
A Japanese men look so young.When I was 23 years old, nobody In U.S believed me.I look like 16 years old to them.
Most asians look younger
😆
@@keqing311 they look young until some predetermined point, at which they instantly look a hundred years old.
Man why dont we have these in america. Trains are so cool!
America is too primitive to build a proper network for Amtrak. To be fair Amtrak should be 100% HSR with slower trains being suburban trains run by state DOT or local agencies or the power companies
America could, a high speed network similar to the old Union Pacific would be incredible, but unfortunately the US is too car-centric.
I don't want to sound like some political conspiracy theorist, but the politicians in congress will not put any money into this. Not with the fact that the diesel companies make heinous amounts of money off of cars.
That's largely why public transit in the form of trains is a rarity in the US. The only reason why New York has a Metro is because it was built back when the US still ran off the train. The cable cars in SanFran are historic.
If I am missing anything, please feel free to fact check me. I'm obviously not a resident of the US.

Bruh at 6:58 I though the train just exploded
0:35
6:54
6:57 I thought this was youtube not The matrix stopping trains
japan always amaze me
They driver looked very nice
Their train command station looking like the NASA command station 😂
ahaha gosh what a video, loved every second of it
So wild seeing people unmasked
They apologised for being EARLY? What a country.
My question is how does the high speed train work
They jsut turn the throttle to 11. Because 11 is bigger than 10.
wheels air and non fat people + wheels that tilt
Firstly you need to have very skilled, creative and responsible people to project, build and manage the entire system. Japan deals with very harsh conditions: more than 150 earthquakes, 30 typhoons per year, 50 active volcanoes, blizzards in winter, and they keep their trains running clean and in time. It's amazing.
Japan is on a different level than any other country...........
Always work hard,Japanese People's thinking Work is worship...Domo arigato.
🚂Great Video👍
1:06 whats that sound, can anyone explain?
Wow nice narrator so epic
6:57 I thought disaster happened
This scared me
the japanese people are amazing
That's really good cgi for a short documentary.
Amazing video
one of my lifetime passion high speed train driver
What? You want to passionately mount a high speed rail driver?
6:54 a sh*t you scared me i thought it broke i want to be in that train someday
thats what you call DETAILS!!
So this is where the national geographic narrator works now?
Holy shit that opening animation. Sick!!!!
So japanese people can apologize for coming too early.
I do love trains
"together they power the bullet train to 180m/h in a mere 3 mins..."
Is that supposed to be impressive? I'm confused
This it not a train it’s a damn plane on wheels
Japan is really an advance country
Wait hold on.... A national apology bcuz the trian was 20 seconds early????
That’s Japan for ya.
The train left 20 secs early, so people missed the train because it left before it was supposed to. People in Japan basically count in 15 sec increments for the train
That's the Tokaido Shinkansen with a max speed of 285 kph. The fastest is Tohoku Shinkansen going 320 kph, and they can be late for 5 hours.
like shinkansen
its clean no corona
I'm pretty sure there is. Nobody is riding. How to fix the problem?
JR Tokai: increase to 20 trains an hour!
Mind blowing
In portugal trains have 20 to 40 min delay if they had to make an apology statement on the national tv the woud probably be better off creating a tv channel for it
Sorry bro but as far as I heard, the Seimens Velaro train family is the world's fastest, at least on normal rails that is. The Seimens Valero trains are German built high-speed trains which can reach up to 320 least the Baurhie 411 can, and other countries such as Britain with it's Eurostar, Chinese high-speed rail, and others throughout the world have adopted the train.
It's called "Siemens". Not " Seimens"
The Italian Frecciarossa 100 is currently the fastest one. 400kph I think
@nervun8097 hard capped to 300km/h because investigations for 360km/h is just too expensive and not worth the increased cost, tohoku shinkansen which planned to go to sapporo 6 years later is conducting tests to clear for 360km/h operation so that it can reach sapporo within 4 hours, which allowed them to capture the lucrative market vs planes, France once planned 350km/h to reach 1000km destination within 3 hours with studies showing passenger tolerance maximum is 3 hours before they started to switch to planes, recently raised to 4 hours so less incentive for 350km/h
I would love to drive that train just one time
El hecho de tener un tiempo tan justo les pone en marcha
Respect the punctuality and precision of the Japanese, amazing to say the least....
After this pandemic. Ill meet you!
6:57 scarier then the horror movie..
what an animation
