Daito Manabe shows us his latest experiment - LED-in-the-mouth. Do try this at home kids and let us know how it goes.

You may remember Daito from the following video.

Thanks to Jason Ho for the find.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

The second video reminds me of those "Dr. Ho" informercials for those electric massage pads. They send tiny electric pulses into your muscles to (supposedly) help relax them.

I suppose if this chap was determined enough, he could wire up his entire body to twitch like that with the music. Who needs to learn how to dance when you can have your computer control your body for you?

That's pretty cool. If the guy comes up with a way to commercialize it for production it'll be all the rage, especially once people start making little led boards so ads show on their teeth.

And that bit with the electric shocks to the face was priceless. I don't think I'd have the nerve for that.

  if the light is bright enough it will shine right through, especially since teeth aren't that thick. Try putting your finger tip over a flashlight and this orange/red light will shine through it, bone and all.
