May 27, 2020: Inside the Tohoku Shinkansen Line
The usual order of the announcements inside the Shinkansen is the recorded announcements (Japanese, then English), announcements from the conductor, and the recorded announcements related to the COVID-19. However on this day, Japanese announcements (recorded and by the conductor) were broadcasted first, and then English ones were done. In addition, the announcements from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (usually recorded ones are used) were made by the conductor.
