Jack was live yesterday playing ‘Shinkansen 0’!

And on the third day, the video released without issues.

Good thing too, it’s a Chilla’s Art game. Shinkansen 0! It’s the fourth Chilla’s Art game we’ve played during the Horrorama. Huh. Wonder if any other “fourth” events land on a Thursday this year?

Listen, I am in fact very good at games 😂

So, as you may know, I run a YouTube channel called Fiction Adiction where I make jokey videos about all sorts of strange, obscure media.

In a recent move, I have started a video series called "Jumpscare!" which will consist of short (5-ish minutes) reviews of some of the many, many indie horror games I play over on my other Let's Play channel - both just to give my thoughts in a quick way, and to maybe get some of my viewers to check both channels more often.

The latest of my (so far only 2) videos in this series is a review of the recent Chilla's Art game "Shinkansen 0" - give it a look if you got the time!

At least one of us loves Chilla's Art games, so of course we had to write up their new anomaly-finding game Shinkansen 0.

Special thanks to YouTubers Jacksepticeye, Gab Smolders, & ManlyBadassHero for playing through this game, allowing us to pull a lot of this information from their videos!

60 Years of the Tokaido Shinkansen!

On 1 October 1964, a railway line like no other opened. Connecting Tôkyô and Ôsaka, paralleling an existing main line, the Tôkaidô New Trunk Line had minimal curves, lots of bridges, zero level crossings. Striking white and blue electric multiple units, with noses shaped like bullets some would say, started zooming between the two cities as at the unheard-of speed of 210 km/h.

This was the start of the Shinkansen, inaugurating the age of high-speed rail.

The trains, with noses actually inspired by the aircraft of the time, originally didn't have a name, they were just "Shinkansen trains", as they couldn't mingle with other types anyway due to the difference in gauge between the Shinkansen (standard gauge, 1435 mm between rails) and the rest of the network (3'6" gauge, or 1067 mm between rails). The class would officially become the "0 Series" when new trains appeared in the 1980s, first the very similar 200 Series for the second new line, the Tôhoku Shinkansen, then the jet-age 100 Series. Yes, the 200 came first, as it was decided that trains heading North-East from Tôkyô would be given even first numbers, and trains heading West would have odd first numbers (0 is even, but never mind).

Hence the next new type to appear on the Tôkaidô Shinkansen was the 300 Series (second from left), designed by the privatised JR Tôkai to overcome some shortcomings of the line. Indeed, the curves on the Tôkaidô were still too pronounced to allow speeds to be increased, while all other new lines had been built ready for 300 km/h operations. But a revolution in train design allowed speeds to be raised from 220 km/h in the 80s to 285 km/h today, with lightweight construction (on the 300), active suspension (introduced on the 700 Series, left) and slight tilting (standard on the current N700 types).

Examples of five generations of train used on the Tôkaidô Shinkansen are preserved at JR Tôkai's museum, the SCMaglev & Railway Park, in Nagoya, with the N700 prototype lead car outdoors. It's striking to see how far high-speed train technology has come in Japan in 60 years. The network itself covers the country almost end-to-end, with a nearly continuous line from Kyûshû to Hokkaidô along the Pacific coast (no through trains at Tôkyô), and four branch lines inland and to the North coast, one of which recently got extended.

#あの保存車両を撮る　No.9　大宮・鉄道博物館 0系21-2号

振り返る3年前，入りたかったあの頃

　覚えていますか，3年前のこと？　今はすっかりいつもの賑わいを取り戻し，出かけられなかった3年前を忘れてしまうようだ．

　保存車両も規制が解かれたかのように，展示が通常通りに戻りつつある．振り返ると久しぶりに大宮・鉄道博物館へ行ったときは，まだ遠出を控える人が多かった頃だった．体験プログラムは軒並み中止，換気が難しい理由で窓が開かない車両は車内展示を休止と，感染対策として通常とは大きく異なっていた．中には入口に立ち入り禁止のテープが頑丈に貼られ，まるで殺人事件があったかのような光景．久しぶりで楽しみにしていたが，楽しみが削がれる気分だった．珍しいのは間違えないが，早く日常に戻って車内に入りたかった．

　今ではすっかり日常を取り戻し，展示車両を制限なく見られるようになった．ありがたいことだが周りに人が多いと，じっくり観察が難しい．そう考えるとどっちがよかったのかな．いや，これは贅沢な悩みだろうか？

I saw it once! Kind of.

After Gion Matsuri in Kyoto last summer, I was catching a train back to Nagoya and noticed lots of people on the opposite platform. I thought nothing more of it, but when I boarded my train, the windows were... yellowed out. I figured out what was happening fairly quickly, but I probably wouldn't have had time to get back out and take a good picture.

Hopefully one will be preserved either at JR West's museum in Kyoto, or at JR Tokai's SC Maglev Railway Park in Nagoya next to its predecessor.

On December 20th, 2000, I took a day trip from Kyoto/Osaka area to Himeji. I took the Kodama Shinkansen line bound for Hakata. These are 0 Series & 100 Series trains. The 0 Series was soon to be phased out & the 100 Series was late in its service life. #japan #shinkansen #新幹線 #0series #100series #0系 #100系 #kodama #こだま #train #trains (at Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmaoNu6rRfo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy 60th birthday to a legend! The Tōkaidō Shinkansen began service on 1 October 1964, using the 0 Series pictured above. I took the photo in the National Railway Museum in York, England. It's the only shinkansen outside Japan.
