Ichigo Train

err...are those figures? on the shelves, and don't tell me it's cast-offable :p

woah any kid taking the train everyday would be happy

At around 2:07 the old lady says,"Nobi Nobita". Hmm, is the train doraemon-related?

It's honestly a bit much for myself but if I had kids I'd be all over it.

可愛いぃぃぃぃぃぃー o(^0^)o

Is there a train for otaku too? :D

kawaiiiii D:

Oh, the cats are so adorable. Betcha the kids must love this train to bits...

if there will be an otaku train...i'll definitely get on it to get to school/work ^___^

but that's one really cute train especially the train master~ ^___^

Something funny and not of a bad taste. Such things become rare in this world. ;)

IMPRESSIVE! I believe Penangites (Malaysia) will actually use the public transports MORE if PENANG MONORAIL is an ICHIGO TRAIN ^_^

Whoa! I think I saw a GP03 Stamen and a Justice Gundam on that video! cool! don't mind the kids, just break the glass and jump out the window. ^^ but seriously I wouldn't mind riding a train like that. *sigh* Danny, you've just successfully made me miss Japan.
(T-T)

camping ground for pedos? =x

We need some of these here now D:

are there straberry desserts provided inside? X3

LOL! thats a rather cute train. The last picture of the cat. Its expression was lmao. XD

Another great example of relevant Japanese news reports.

wow...i wan to sit in it.it looks cute!

Change the title to "Pedo Train"... This will surely attract alot of weird people as well as kids... But I'll take the train anytime coz' it looks real cute, just like me... (insert puking noise here)

the cat are very cuteeeeeeeee^^

if they had a PS3/Wii/etc in the train it would be more greatttttt!

@ Marvin

That's exactly the first thing I noticed, too!

ichigo means strawberry and 15 right?

ok... woman only cart, so will ichigo cart be a "children-parents only cart"?

would like to go though, its unique

Wow. Japan never stops amazing me.

Kind of good and bad at the same time. no more pedos, but the bullies will still be there.

If they had a Den-O train, I wouldn't think twice getting in it!

The cat looks super kawaii with the hat =o, I wished the subway cars here were like that...

HELL YEAH!! ^^ looks soo cute!! especially the cat! congrats to the person who decorated the train looks awesome

Hmm...I love strawberries...so yeah this is gonna be a good way to get to work

Lol, sorry but I wouldn't like looking at bright colors everyday I go to work. I'm not a goth or anything but that many bright colors is a bit of an eyesore to me. I'll take the standard and drab train carts ^^.

i for one can't stand being around a crowd of kids, they tend to be really noisy and distracting, i much rather take the normal train carriage then sit through 40 minutes of nonstop crying and kids throwing fits. but the train is very nicely decorated, makes me wonder if this only happens in japan because this kind of thing is unthinkable in North America. you'd get graffiti and gum stuck on the seats after the first ride, not to mention all those figures stolen.

@Gingy: agreed. Unfortunetly. Makes me wonder why we cant raise our kids right. And by "we", I mean people who have kids.

You know, If I had kids, this would be a great idea. Imagine kids complaining the whole car ride/train ride to get somewhere. I bet this is a relief for the parents.

That cat looks PIiiiiiiiissed. Kind of how my dog looks at me if I put my hat on his head. I can almost hear him say "take it off chief, or Ill put a steaming pile on your head while you are sleeping". Hes eloquent.

awwww that cat looks like it works very hard LOL!

Yet again something that's only possible in Japan. ^^ I wouldn't mind to travel with a train that has more luxury and style on board than the average trains, but only if those kids have been duck taped LOL! Seriously, I can't think of a worser start of the day than being surrounded by 50 noisy kids. XD

Damn, I would live in that train.

@DRAGUN
yea, i know what you mean. btw, its Qingy, with a q, not a g. i know it looks confusing

can you imagine a train like this in New York City?

I only said no because.. I'm alergic to CATS! o_O

But I didn't understand if the cat rode the train, or if he was on the trainstation, of even if he was just part of the promotion or day of the train opening or something.

Cute though. I personally would love to have cats, but it's just impossible....

@Qingy, sorry about that.

Maybe not one decorated like the Ichigo Train, but I'd be more likely to take public transport if it didn't smell. In most cities in the US, public transport loses money for the city because people avoid it unless they have to use it. Make it more inviting and maybe people would use it even if they didn't have to.

sure i would if the cabinets are filled with figures.

Taking this train everyday to Work/School would give me a happy boost to my whole day.

That cat seems annoyed by this...

STRAWBERRY TRAIN YAAAY!

I would have to agree below, that the Cat is not amused...

This reminds me a lot of highly stylized "old timey" trains that run between Kumamoto and Aso-san in Kyushu. Similar concept - a thematically stylized (perhaps even, dare I say, pimpin') ride; a tourist attraction in and of itself. :)

I'd probably feel a bit more embarrassed riding on the Ichigo Train, however. ;P

i would love such a train here...

i'd ride it at least once, just for the heck of it. hey, you're never too old to be a kid again, well for a few minutes at least, haha!

This is one of the best ideas come to life. As expected, Japan touches this finish line first. You can't help that the train is full of eye candy or a homely feel. Thumbs up!
Though the cats, you can definitely tell that they're domesticated... TOO domesticated aka Lazy House Cat. Should we really trust the jobs of station master to them, I wonder? lol

The cat reminded me of one in Sketchbook.

He goes like -_- all day.

That cat doesn't look too happy.

im a sucker for this kind of train.

You had me at "Station Master Cat." I support the practice of putting felines in positions of power!

Sure, anything is better that train and underground here...

Hey, Danny, is true that is strange see delays on train and underground in Japan? Sounds like a dream...

thefrikking,
When delays happen its usually due to suicides/rain/snow. Rarely technical.

i spotted a few gundam models on the shelves of the train. Im glad bandai is influencing the next generation of model makers to exceed the last haahahaha...

Soul Train!!!

moe moe kyun~
