For all you music lovers: http://www.toto.co.jp/products/toile...9/05.htm#sound
The ideal soundtrack has to be the recently released "unedited" recording of Horowitz's 1965 Return to Carnegie Hall concert. (The one where they didnt edit out the bum notes).

I don't like the idea of a row of cubicled loudspeakers all blaring out songs out of synch, especially with music from the 80s (I'm all ready experiencing flashbacks of what it was like to put your lippy on entrenched in the battling miasmas of a trio wearing Poison, Opium and Anais Anais).
If you're going to have music, much better to go the "Row, row, row your boat" or "Frere Jacques" route. I'm sure there's someone clever enough to arrange "Sakura" along similar lines should a more patriotic feel be required.

Nah the Hyatt ones are even a bit older than these. The new building in Akasaka has them. It opens in a month.
Mail me tomorrow about the fridge.

I was just about to ask about if anyone ever had experienced an automatic toilet paper dispenser, but then I found this Hello Kitty model. Still one needs to press a button instead of just waving the hand in front of Hello Kitty!

Having lived in Japan, I am bookmarking this thread as my all time favorite from FT. I will check it frequently. Put my hand over my mouth while I did the dainty Japanese lady tee-hee laugh!!

I've actually performed in "Oklahoma" two times, here in KC. When we got to that song it's everyone's favorite.
Everything will be up to date as soon as I get me one of them fancy Toto toilet seats for my house! : )
