JR West's express trains connecting Hokuriku with Kansai and Chukyo are the "Thunderbird" from Osaka and Kyoto and the "Shirasagi" from Nagoya, both of which remain popular even now that their operating routes have been shortened due to the extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen. The "Shirasagi" runs from Nagoya via Maibara to Tsuruga (previously only to Kanazawa). The current "Shirasagi" 681 series cars were converted from "Thunderbird" and "Hakutaka" trains when the Hokuriku Shinkansen was extended to Kanazawa in 2015, and have been extensively modified, resulting in variations in interior and exterior design. This product features a 681 series "Shirasagi" train from before and after the Hokuriku Shinkansen's Tsuruga extension opened. This product will feature a new production of the Saha 681-300, which was converted after the "Shirasagi" was repurposed. As it sometimes makes an appearance in Osaka as the "Thunderbird," you can enjoy it together with the currently popular 10-2071 683 series "Shirasagi" (new paint), the 521 series, 223 series, 225 series and other "Special Rapid Service" vehicles of the various third sectors, and the 315 series 3000 series scheduled for release in January 2026.
