For 30,000 yen, I'll dress up like a bear and hang out at your house... no software needed... but unlike the toy, I unfortunately have to whip the shit out of you every time I hear "Fine, thank you." Gomen.

This is definitely aimed and geared towards the kids by looking at the 'cute' teddy bear design. The J-kids are spoon-fed with the wrong crap that no wonder they are messed up in the head when they grow up.

They got tired of using foreigners as dancing bears, so they moved one step closer and made a robotic one.

The wonderful thing about a dancing bear is not how well he dances, but that he dances at all.
