Konami Otoizm - yo-yo with a display?

Wanna new pet, which listens to your favorite music and dances with you? When you connect "Otoizm" (2.2 inch diameter) from Konami to your music player, a character starts to grow according to the genre of music that you listen to. It grows by listening to the music, memorizes phrases, composes and lets you listen to it. If your friend has also one, it‘s time for a dancing session! If you want to have more pets, no worries. Record your girl friend‘s voice, for example, then another character "Kotobaizm" appears and plays with you. It is one of the popular products that I discovered by strolling around at Toy Forum 2006 in Tokyo. To get this pet in your hand, you have to wait till June. It does not even appear on the Konami HP yet.
