@AF401 thx for your question. it's a matter of gear ratio. 500 series is designed for higher speed than 250km/h~. Even though both 500 and N700 can go up to 300km/h, acceleration of N700 at lower speed (~250km/h) exeeds that of 500. At higher speed (250km/h~), 500 series accelerates better than N700. thus, time needed for acceleration to 300km/h is almost the same for 500 and N700.
The great thing about railfanning in Japan is the incredible variety and the fact that nobody gives you any grief providing you do not set up a tripod on a busy platform. Between Tokyo and Shin Osaka all of the 'bullets' are 16 cars. From Shin Osaka to Fukuoka ( Hakata station ) there is a mix of 8 and 16 car trains. Going north out of Tokyo they come in 6, 8 and 10 car sets with a maximum of 16 cars when combined to run together. My vids show most of them.
like Rocketboy said, they are all in 16-car configurations, about 400m long. To be exact, there are 2-3m differences in length according to the nose designs, which is of course included in the s.q.m caliculation. You don't need any authorization to film trains in stations in Japan. JR-central (between tokyo and osaka) officially announces prohibition of tripod use on the platforms, but this restriction seems not too strict.
新幹線とは縁の薄い地方に住んでますが
なかなか面白く見せていただきました
乗る機会がありましたらこの動画を思い出して
一人で楽しんでることでしょう

@sironatti コメントありがとうございます。500系W編成が引退し、300系も廃車が進んでいるのでバリエーションが少なくなっていくのが寂しいです。

今度は同じ時間の列車を日にちごとに測ってみるのはどうですか?
(例えばのぞみ1号を3日間同じように測り、そのタイムを競う)

@basubinine7145 コメントありがとうございます。まあ、ネタ動画なので…(^^ゞ 機会があれば、他の路線のスタートダッシュ動画も作りたいですが。

実際には延発してるのに負けるとかどうした?

It's weird that series 500 doesn't accelerate faster since it's the most powerful shinkansen.
which one does come to 300km/h first?

@wildcop yeah, you're right! gear ratios makes sense. Thank you for your answer.
I've forgot that series 500 can reach speeds above 350 km/h if I'm right. and N700 up to 330km/h if both tested to max design speed.
Thanks ^_^

Nice work!
All these trains are 400 m long?
You need special authorization to take these videos in the station?
Thanks for sharing
