| Toto Japan has launched the Apricot series Toilet seats. With the usual included gizmos like Seat heater, Automatic washer, Electronic controlled seat etc, Toto has now included a full fledged MP3 player with a SD card slot. The control panel with the MP3 player can be attached on the wall. 16 classic tunes are included with the SD card. The MP3 player can Random playback, One Tune playback and so on. It conserves power by studying the time patterns of usage and thus not heating the seat when the toilet is least used. The fully loaded N5A seat costs 180,600 Yen ($ 1750) |

hahaha Funny isntit. When you see those news you just start thinking how the life will be in lets say year 3000.Wow I would never buy a toilet like that. If someone if thinks of buying a toilet like that they would spend so much time on the toilet, they would be just sitting there the whole day listening to songs and getting Comfortable on the seat.
This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of, period. 
why not? It could be hreat
what has come of our society when we have got to be entertained while we sit and take a crap
Sure is innovative but why would anyone need an mp3 player with a toilet seat or even so many features?
Not worth the buy on my opinion..
Just the idea of having to risk peeing on something worth 1750 dollars is reason enough for not buying this. This might just be a reason to take your time when you go to the toilet.
All this gadget business.....
How about this?......A toilet seat with a cam
Instructions: SMASH before use. 
Whoa! Who would want to shit for $1750?! I definitely wouldn't but it is sure amusing! What next? A DVD player?! 
- Hac wow! that is so cool. I would love to have a toilet like that. Ah well you can't have avery thing in life can you? Still, I wonder who would spend that much money on a tilet seat. Blimey an mp3 player. What will the think of next. A games console or something!
that looks sick. i would get it... if i had that sort of money to spend on stupid things.
If you have never used a Japanese Toilet, you don't know what you are missing. The heating element is amazing in the wintertime. Much better than the American version, a fuzzy cover that gets disgusting and smelly.
The cleaner is quite an experience and not for the 'faint of rear'. It sends quite a powerful jet straight where it needs to go. It cleans like a car wash!
I can't speak to the MP3 player, but that does seem a little absurd to me.
It reminds me of when I was a child and I was staying at a hotel with my family. The bathroom had a phone right next to the toilet and none of us could see the value in it.
My dad's comment? "Well, at least this place has a 'potty' line!"
It seems to me that technology is being used for the sake of using technology. Why not carry an iPod in the shitter with you? I would love the heating and cleaning features as I am kinda hairy.
I just can't wait to see what's next, maybe some seat with auto-instructions. "you should now whipe your ass" ROFL
lol - I think I might get one!!
Sounds pretty cool.
Listen to mp3s and take a dump at the SAME TIME!!
I can just imagine the ads........
Sounds pretty cool.
when i go to the toilet
I'd like silience
Japan has always had high tech toilets. The whole heated seat thing, the built in 'bidet', the air freshener, etc. While all of them were needlessly frivolous they at least addressed the basic needs of going to the toilet (i.e. taking a crap, cleaning oneself, reduce any lingering evidence in the air). Once you start introducing other bells, like an mp3 player, then you have to question how these new features detract from the existing features. It's a toilet people; it's where we unload our waste. You could not pay me to, effectively, attach my ears to a receptacle just so that I can hear music! What's next, a food service?
it's not good for ppl if they stay too long in toliet
when there's a mp3 player
ppl would stay longer
if you want to listen mp3
just out of toliet
lol they should just make a portable toilet lol
I wonder if they have toilets with MP3 and that water jet that gives you extra clean feeling? LOL | SgtGarcia wrote: |

Haha good one
Hm why dont u just bye an MP3 Player then and keep it on in the toilet 
then u even can use it outside the toiletlol, another totally needless and pointless invention fresh from japan!

http://www.3shades.tk Toilets w/ mp3 players arent bad ideas... I would personally like to see one that runs Windows Vista and makes the 'youve unplugged a USB device' noise when you stand up...
I think that they should make toilets with and ipod dock want speakers. It would also look nice because they'd both be white.
Why do some of the guys get dum ideas like these.
and who would spend that much money on a thing to be used only a small time of day by only one person at a time..
Why not share a thing like Mp3 player with more ppl in a better place than a toilet lol I like it, its nice, beatiful and very freak..
You Cagas and listen Pavaroti LOL!!!!
producing things like this is just a waste of natural resources.
will there be a time when those people realize that enough is enough??? 
a toilet with an mp3?? well NOW the world is REALLY crashing, huh??
Those crazy Japanese! they really do think outside the box when it comes to gadgets. It's a cool idea, for what it is... (crap It may take off in the year 2040 but in 2006, no! Holy (musical) crap!! The japanese never cease to amaze me with all the useless inventions they make. I won't be surprised if we can connect to the internet while taking a dump in a few years.
Maybe by the year 3000 our descendants will be able to carry around their own portable toilet and ask it to mix 'em a drink.
The Toilet Seat/Speaker Phone
I can't even justify the price for a good handheld mp3 player. No tellin how much this would cost but it would be pimp. But not good to get in the habit of shitting for hours going through albums. LOL Playing it while you take a shower or bath would be tight though. Have it hooked up through wifi to your other household pc's for access and mp3 sharing would be a nice touch.

I'm sorry but I don't think I'd ever wan't my toilet mixing me a drink! Wacky!
Why can't you just have a normal radio next to the toilet? 
In Germany there is an add running on television right now about toilets which control the smell so that when you do your business and leave you don't need to worry about funny odors u might leave behind. I want one of those 
Gotta find a sound proof one as well.
Other than that, somehow there are a many things to push the limit. Toilets next to the toilet? I really hope no one ever calls me from a phone like that because the tought is slightly disgusting.
Wonder what the bathroom will look like 20 years from now...? Damn, I want a toilet with mp3, broadband internet, TV, DVD, and a direct access to my favourite pizza place. You know, just sit there, eat and sh.. and get really, really fat.
Seriously, I prefer a good old standard toilet. No gimmicks, no fancy stuff. Get your business done and get going. Or does anyone like their bathroom so much?
