Sonic (ソニック, sonikku?) is the name used by Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyūshū) for the limited express train service operating between Hakata and Ōita via Kokura and Beppu along the Kagoshima Main Line and Nippō Main Line in Kyūshū, Japan. It runs every 30 minutes at a speed of 130 km/h - with a journey time of approximately 2 hours.

Services are operated by a fleet of eight 7-car 883 series EMUs and four 6-car 885 series White Sonic EMUs.

* 883 series EMUs (8 x 7-car) - Since 1997

* 885 series EMUs (4 x 6-car) - Since 2001

The 885 series (885系?) is an AC EMU type used on limited express routes operated by JR Kyushu in Japan. The type is part of Hitachi's A-train family of multiple units. The 885 series is utilised on two of JR Kyushu's named trains:

    * Kamome - The Kamome (Seagull) Limited Express operates between Hakata and Nagasaki on the Kagoshima and Nagasaki lines. The 885 series fleet entered service in 2000.
    * Sonic - The Sonic Limited Express operates between Hakata and Ōita using the Kagoshima and Nippō lines. The 885 series fleet on this entered service in 2001.

The Kamome fleet was built and entered service as six-car units. Initially, the Sonic fleet entered service as five-car units, but were extended to six cars in 2003 to allow interchangeability between the two fleets. Although only capable of 130 km/h, the tilt mechanism means most journeys can be made in around two hours.

The 800 series (800系?) is a Japanese Shinkansen high-speed train type operated by JR Kyushu on the Kyushu Shinkansen high-speed rail line. Built by Hitachi, the trains were introduced on the Tsubame services from March 2004.

The 800 series has a maximum speed of 260 km/h (160 mph) in service, although its maximum design speed is 285 km/h (177 mph).

It abandons the 700's "duckbill" nose in favor of a sharper nose. The livery is white, with a red stripe.
