Tutukki Box Is Like an LCD Truck Stop Bathroom For Your Finger
Posted by John Herrman at 9:15 PM on October 8, 2008
Insert your finger into the Tutukki Bako (Tutukki Box) and you probably won't feel much. Unless you look at the screen, you wouldn't know that you were clumsily stoking a tiny panda, a small, terrified man or even a woman's understandably unhappy face with an inappropriate-looking appendage. This lovely toy will superimpose a live digital representation of your digit on a couple of equally unsettling scenes and costs about $US30, though it's only available in Japan for now (and probably forever). I'm not sure what need or desire this fulfills, but if anyone knows please feel free not to let me know. Bonus screens after the jump. [Crunchgear]

Does anyone remember the pain box from dune? Is this just a test to see if you can lead the people and restore the flow of spice?
What happens if you can't knock down the poor little panda?

Hrmmmm, there's a "slime" mode? Wow, this thing is totally suggestive. I'm waiting for the version that has the fingers in the box already.

I think if Harry S. Truman saw the weird crap that comes out of Japan, he'd either have never bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki or he'd have bombed them more.
Seriously though, even though the Japanese tend to assimilate other languages easily into theirs, the cultural flow does not work in reverse.
OMG! Ponies!

Free advice: Dont stick your finger in a box if you dont know whats waiting for you in there.

See, that's why we need Japan.
Something this suggestive could never be released in western society...

So, does "Tutukki" translate to "Mini Glory Hole" then?

Don't press the little yellow 'reset' button when finger is in hole. I think it reads....

Why can't people just leave the pandas alone?

And when the Pandas see this, they'll just stop screwing all together and extinctify themselves, Jim Jones style.

@ysirotin: And the first Phantasm movie had a similar scene when Michael went to visit the old fortune teller lady...

@Curves: You need to ammend that. Don't stick any appendage in a box if you don't know what's waiting for you in there..

@Mooby:
Actually, John misspelled it despite it being written all over the image. It's Tuttuki, and it means "to poke".

Well, maybe you can stick yours in. That hole looks kinda narrow, though, so if you can I don't think you should advertise the fact on Gizmodo.

Next year they'll release a Japanese horror movie featuring this box (and loosely based on Hellraiser) that will scar your soul for several lifetimes.

@rxe7en: Pandas are the mind-killer. Pandas are the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the pandas. I will permit them to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the panda has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

the actual spelling would be tsuttsuki(if you want to pronounce it correctly, otherwise you saying like 2, and thats just wrong) and its comes from the verb tsutsuku which means to poke.
