One for the Kitsch Lovers...


Now....who...wouldn't...want...a...pair...of...these??? People don't realise how much of a geek in me being in Japan really brings out. These speakers are made by Princeton, and yes, they do function as speakers you plug into your computer. And apparently they work very well at that too.

Before I came to Japan, I used to think, who on earth??? WHY on EARTH??? Yet you do realise the contradictory nature of Japanese society. In this case, I'm not surprised that there are so many fun gadgets such as these speakers that are for mass consumption. If you sit long enough on the Tokyo Metro, or hang long enough in Shimbashi, aka 'Salaryman Hell', you would start to recognise the monotony of Japanese corporate culture: everyone strives to have the same black briefcase, same black suit, same black shoes. Therefore, it is not a shock to the system to have cool things like this to brighten up your workspace.
