Only in Japan: Toilet Video Games

Japanese people love video games.  You can find all types of games in Japan from fighting games to shooters to RPGs.  Now, you can add one more type to the mix: a toilet video game.  Actually, it is a video game attached to a urinal.    The game encourages the user to aim while he is urinating.  The video game will measure how much urine is registered and encourages you to keep on going.  You can find these video games throughout the Tokyo subway system and game centers around Japan.

This is very Japanese.  Japanese culture is a part escapist and and part obsessive in nature.  Escapism can be seen throughout Japan whether you are looking at anime, video games, or the world of the mizu shobai (the water trade: bars, restaurants, and other nightlife establishments).  This product is very escapist in nature.  This video game allows to user to focus on the video game aspect of going to the bathroom instead of just going to the bathroom.

Leave it up to the Japanese to make going to the bathroom fun, entertaining, and disturbing at the same time.
