Forget spending your money on expensive surround sound speakers, and instead take the opportunity of investing in a cuddly little toy that plays muffled music through its feet.
Toy maker SK Japan is presumably banking on the Japanese love affair with all things cute, hoping that it will counter the desire for quality sound. And as they’ll also produce a Hello Kitty model, who’d be brave enough to bet against them succeeding?

Totemo Daisuki Doraemon!
Chris says
Hah, I can totally see that one working in Japan!
pearly says
I love Doraemon – I’d get those speakers
Alexa says
Actually, thats a really cute idea. But where’s the subwoofer?
Jason says
Living in Japan for so long, why do you think these numbers are so high Lee? Is this the price Japan pays for having such a strict sense of conformity? I was in Japan for a mere summer and I noticed it. Surely a trend like this is cultural. (there are hundreds of societies with far worse “economies” than Japan’s with far lower suicide rates. What do you think?
