*FASTECH 360S* .

It was developed as the Shinkansen of the next generation and travelling test in the midst of execution.
When it is utilized, Max speed of Passenger operation will 360km/h.
The Yellow objects looks like ear of cat are Aerodynamic drag devices for emergency.
So people said =Nekomimi Shinkansen= (Cat eared Shinkansen).
And that's happend in Japan from next pages
