Talking Machines!!

[PaintballIt]

For people who don't know... at 0:52 she says "ikkai desu" or "first floor".

[arby22207]

Japanese cities are very accommodating to handicap people.

[ILUVFFANDKH]

oh, now i really do need to learn japanese.....

[bunnystar93]

What if that lady fell after the machine said that on 0:22 lmao!!!! :DDD

[killer1177]

Lol so that Simpsons episode didn't turn out that crazy with the idea of talking vending machines.

[anon540]

That would drive me absolutely insane within the first 10 minutes. I swear they would drag me out of Japan in a straight jacket to protect me from myself.

[natalie1605]

I wish my computer/printer would talk to me... I get lonely at nights sometimes. =)

[pinksunflower100]

thats cool but i think i might get anoyed after a while. kinda like navi in zelda.

[cloudstrifeification]

Interesting video. A lot of things talk and give warnings and courtesy's.

[DaniiCullen]

When I see your videos I feel like I'm living in the past xD

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Mechani-talk.

[noodpan]

What about the trucks that used sit idling out the front of may apartment window every morning with their indicators on, waiting for the lights to change.... "Turning left, please be careful" every 3 seconds or so.

[xchosen123]

if each of the lights on the elevator was a floor then that has got to be the fastest elevator in the world

[Julmuu]

machines have taken over japan

[badusername070]

is that the same voice,,,or do they sound the same?

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Sort of like radio DJs.. different people but sound the same :-D

[LeahEatsYou]

Oh... thats not creepy. O.O

[DingeZZ]

That talking when printing is just Lexmarks program. We have that too, but not with such a cute voice.

[bonecrime]

How come it's only female voices?

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Clearer and easier to understand, I am guessing..

cuter too :-)

[shoseki]

@TheJapanChannelDcom I'm guessing its also because the services are considered "female"... do they have male voices for things that are more "commanding"?

[HeWhoLovesTheWeb]

probably because it sounds more calm and less intimidating

[PounceTeazle]

@bonecrime I do not know if it is the reason here but female voices are thought by most shrinks to have more authorithy ( the "mommy says" thing), computers in airplanes do use female voices often for that reason.

[binot]

whoa looked like" the grudge" hands on 1:07 haha!

[torentazos]

i bet Japan will have the first working robot that looks like a human and can actually do and learn what we do

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

I bet you are right!

[torentazos]

i still have a loooong way to go to be able to live on my own... I'm still 14 yrs old...

[pinksunflower100]

@torentazos there actualy is one that can but it is pretty ugly gray colored just type in child robot.

[Playborn]

why doesn't it say "watch your steps" in Japanese?

Because they are smarter ? :)

D.

[mexicana2415vida]

[tiannazx3uploadzx3]
