Sega Toys jump on the music game craze with LIVEDREAM
Posted by Graham. Filed under G, News, Video. Tagged with Gadgets, Sega Toys.
Ok so this is not game, but I’d say that this little gizmo has been influenced by the success of Rockband and Guitar Hero.
LIVEDREAM is a pretty cool miniture band set, which plays real songs. But the cool twist is that users can remove or place the different instruments on the stage, and the music will keep playing - but the sound of the specific instrument will either stop or start playing, which is pretty cool.
LIVEDREAM comes in two forms, “Rockband” and “Jazzband” - each band plays 30 real life tunes, and I have to say, there are some real classics listed there.
For the full track listing, check after the break.
Meet my girlfriend - EMA!

Ok, no it’s not my actual girlfriend, but rather a new gadget from Sega Toys.
“EMA,” or Eternal Maiden Actualization, stands at 38cm tall (just over a foot) and has the abilities to sing, dance and walk “like a lady,” according to Sega. Internal infra-red sensors also allow for a high level of interactivity with humans, and EMA can register anyone in her proximity. One of her ‘tricks’ is her ability to hand out business cards.
Now for those looking forward to a future with ’sex bots’ or girlfriends you can control, (actually I think all red-blooded men will fit into either of those categories), then the future could be looking good, thanks to EMA. While EMA may not be of a suitable height, shape or even perform in bed, she does have a bit of a risque side to her. Should anyone put their head close enough to hers, then she will lean forward and kiss the person in front of her. Fantastic, eh?
The downsides are that; it will only be available in Japan, it will cost around $175, and anyone dying to get a peck on the cheek, from a midget-bot will have to wait until September 26th, when she goes on sale.
For those than can read Japanese, check out the PDF for more information.
