Above: A then brand new JR East E353 series train set (S108) parked alongside the very first JR East E257 series train set (M101), both heading southbound on the Chuo Main Line @ Shinjuku Station in 2018.
I wonder who would win? They both have a top speed of 130kph.

lol “YOUR COMMUTER PASS HAS EXPIRED!”
The reason why the E353s have such a big nose is because, like the E259s on the Narita Express, they have double doors that open up to reveal a gangway. The way the doors open is very robotic.
