Good news, everyone!
I'm always saying "Hey guys," so I thought I'd quote good ol' prof. Farnsworth this time around.
Anyway, as not to be done by Toyota and the Prius, the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) is currently developing a Hybrid EMU. Here's a link from the Japan Railway and Transport Review article below.

(Note: it's a PDF file, so you need Adobe Acrobat to read it)
Also, there's an article about a new type of EMU container train JR Freight is developing for use on the Tokyo - Osaka line (I believe they're talking about the Tokaido Line, but there's another one that runs between Tokyo and Osaka just to the north of the Tokaido).
Hope you guys enjoy it!
