IKEA transforms Kobe train into showroom

From Pink Tentacle:
Swedish furniture giant IKEA has converted the Kobe Portliner Monorail into a moving showroom before the April 14 opening of a new retail outlet at Port Island. The redecorated train, which features a colorful exterior, bright upholstery and fancy curtains, will carry passengers in style until May 6.
I wish they would have pulled that publicity stunt on a Yamanote train or a shinkansen!
And after May 6th, I suppose the train will be reverted back to its former glory?
