Burger King Japan Installs ''Musical Showers''

I want

If it will be free of charge and the music was effectively confined to the booth then yeah sounds pretty cool. They should include a 3.5mm jack for non-iPod devices too though. And I'm assuming volume is controlled by a computer or human to ensure it doesn't get obnoxiously loud?

Cone of Silence ... ??

Looks like the Sound Dome, and according to the manufacturer, nobody but the person sitting under the dome can hear it.

Not a bad idea, but only if nobody else can hear it.

I agree as long as I don't have to stab my ears out with a stale french fry because the table next to me is playing what new song....

they had these in use in an electronics store in houston. The sound coming from the dome was still audible a few feet from the dome. You might be lucky to hear the music from the table next to you but it wouldn't make it anywhere across the restaurant.

what about a burger with REAL meat and cook "my way".

They have these all over the place. I live in a fairly rural area, and our gamestop and library has them.

I would love this and would actually use this if out with friends.

I've seen those dome things before and they do a really good job at isolating the sound. You only hear it if you stand directly underneath.

I love Japan.

SO much.

Japanese fast food restaurant is actually tolerable.

After moving to Canada, I find myself going to it way less.

Watch me kick that bass on that new piece of technology, teehee.

This is damn awesome. I wonder if you'll hear Jobs to hold your hamburger differently?

That is the nicest Burger King I have seen.

Yeah, I can visualise a nun hearing Sexy Bitch from across the table

Why would anyone be in a Burger King "restaurant" for long enough to want to listen to any music.

That sounds amazing, but I'm guessing there will be music clashing.

Man, if that's a BK, I'd love to see what an "upscale" restaurant looks like in Japan...

hmm ... seems like a good possible way for new income for employees of the restraunt.. picking up the forgotten various music players.. the second hand ipod and zune market will be flooded

my optometrist has these you cant hear it like 2 feet away from the cone i thought it was cool besides the silly dvd it was hooked up to about eye prolems

Nice. However why iPod only? How about another interface like USB? The concept is good, but I wouldn't use it because my memory is extremely poor and I'd forget my device in the dock!

If this works anything like the real Cone of Silence, the music will be unintelligible under the cone, and crystal clear to everybody else in the restaurant...

does anyone remember one episode of Mission:Impossible where IMF team used same tactics to deceive a president of some eastern European country to discredit a minister who's in charge of a play?

the team acted out a play prior a preview using fake script and played the sount using that cone speaker to allow only the president to hear the fake play during a preview but everyone else is hearing proper script....

I believe it was called "The Play" from Season 3....

Who eats at Burger King.....teens and fatties. FAIL

How come these cool burger king stunts only happen in japan? We need some excitement to burger king here in North america as well.

Last i checked, burger king makes money all over the world. so apparently Lots of people eat at burger king, You sir are FAIL

The directional sound has been availible for some time now. Yes they are very good on it being a very localized sound but yes some sound will deflect outward. I was waiting for this technology to take off 5 years ago.

As I've heard, many of our fast food shops (Mac, BK, KFC,...) in Asia are marketed as nice places that for young students' social gathering and for family (actually kids) to have a fun meal. Those MacD, BK, and KFC "restaurants" tend to look much better than here and much pleasent to spend your time around... just like what you've seen on the pictures of BK Japan.

My personal experience, I was shocked to know from my Japanese friends that Denny's is one of the top 3 family restuarant chain in Tokyo and for girls it is/was one of the most romatic place for their dates... Can you believe?! Denny's = Romatic for girls?!! That was pretty shocking to me! After taht I ws shocked again when I saw the food menu from Denny's Japan (my friend "saved" it for me.. ). The menu was full of beautiful pictures like the TGI Friday or..... and the food served there are more like a nice Japanese restaurant here than the Denny's I can remember here...

By the way... if you are interested... you can find the menu of Denny's JP from here... pretty impressive....

Enjoy...

You can only get to the really classy restaurants via a Gate spell, as they exist in their own extravagant pocket dimensions. Needless to say, I'd strongly recommend calling ahead for a reservation.

Channeling music is always been hard to do. Be awesome though.
For a waitress? Her job, but still not part of it. Till now.
Random seating of such things would be awesome. Would have days that would be keeping up with the times as one could say. Wouldnt be such a nouciance. week in week out. then not so upbeat to the times and etc. Still good hopefully to some point.
Might look forward to a bad day to help offset some relexation of frustration which sounds weird but tends to happen.

Cant wait for it in America.
