So our teacher came back from Tokyo over Spring Break and he brought over an iDog. It looks pretty cool. lol. It's like a speaker and you could plug your iPod into it. It moves to the rhythm of the music and it lights up when you pet it. Well if you neglect it, it ignores you are says insults to you. However, it talks in Japanese. The only words my teacher knows are 'yes', 'no', and 'hello'. lol. I saw it on Ebay and its pretty expensive. Our homeroom teacher got it in Japan for about 3000 yen. $30?? I dunno conversions. They're a lot like those Furbys that were sold a few years ago. But this looks really high tech. The cool thing is that it's our class pet! lol. :D

Between this and the upcoming Nintendogs, Japan is helping us get our fill of virtual canines. ;)

Touching is good.

Ooooh boy, what has the world come to. :anime: That's pretty cool. I'm surprised I never heard of that. They look funny...I don't think I'd ever buy one though.

Any relation to this new game (http://www.touch-ds.jp/mediagallery/st14.html)coming up? That's a cute commericial btw. :)

[Metroid_spy]

According to what my teacher said they're selling fast in Japan.

I don't think their related to that DS game. haha.

He showed us the box it came in. I have finally seen Engrish in real life.

Oh so you two (CoolSSJEnergy and Metroid_spy) know each other? I'm not surprised they're selling fast. Cute = money in Japan. :sweat:

Yeah. We're classmates. I think these iDogs rock. Put on any song, and it'll dance to the rhythm of it. And it talks in Japanese. I wonder if it'll say "Baka" if it gets mad. Too bad the batteries ran out, so we couldn't see it in action today.

Too bad the batteries ran out, so we couldn't see it in action today. That would be funny if the dog said that. So we're studying a math lesson... then out of the blue the dog just barks "BAKA!" lol. That's one of the few Japanese words that I understand. ;)

For you people that don't know, it basically means "stupid". Something along the lines of that. Yeah, that would be pretty funny, although I only think it makes good comments. It's still so cool. I wonder how it sounds, and what will it say. Currently, this is the only Japanese I know(I might spell them incorrectly):

Konichiwa(hi)
Arigatou(thanks)
Hontou(really)
Nanda(what?, I think)
Nani(what?)
Onii-Chan(bro)
Aniki(boss)
Damae(something like dammit)
Koso(it's like damae)

That's all I can think of now. There might be more I know but forgot.

They're a lot like those Furbys that were sold a few years ago. Except that these aren't frightening. :sweat:

[Kury Wagner]

Those things look interesting... I neglected my Furbys though. And my tamagotchis... man, I'm a bad fake pet owner.

this is the only Japanese I knowI can ask the time politely. :sweat:

[90'sCartoonMan]

ROBOPUPPY! Cool, just like on Futurama! Can it lick your face? Ehh, who am I kidding, I just want to see how my dog interacts with it. Canine vs. machine, the ultimate battle!

[Rafeal v1.0]

awww, does it talk in a cute puppy voice like scrappy doo??

[Elven Moon]

That is the cutest thing. I so want one.
