These aren't necessarily the latest, but they sure are fun! The second dog reminds me of the Peki dog bag that was associated with Yun Ho ages back (:

Interesting Japan Gadgets

Sega Toys iDog Basic

The Sega iDog is great at playing music off of your iPod or computer, but he’s much more than just an iPod dock.

When the i-Dog hears music – either from the built-in speaker or just some ambient sounds – he reacts with an LED light display on his face and by shaking his head and flapping his ears. And this animated speakeralso comes with plenty of personality – the lights change depending on his mood and the kind of music you’re playing. Audio playback has rarely ever been this much fun.

Sega Lucky Hand Stand Dog Robot

This robotic dog can respond to 13 voice commands, ranging from the normal – “come here” – to the extraordinary – “sing” and “do a handstand.” Whether you’re playing tug of war with a ribbon or crooning along with a barked rendition of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” Lucky is sure to provide many hours of entertainment.

Manekko P-chan Talking Bird Toy

P-chan comes programmed with some fun Japanese phrases that it will blurt out at random times, just like a real bird. And like the best talking toy parrots, P-chan will also listen and imitate what you say. And if you repeat a short phrase often enough, your P-chan just might memorize it and repeat it back when you least expect it. So be careful not to teach it anything too embarrassing…

Chou Chou Electric Butterfly

The Chou Chou is so realistic your friends may not notice anything unusual about your butterfly jar. The butterfly inside slowly opens and closes its wings before fluttering into flight inside the glass. Waking up your butterfly robot with a few taps is a great way to take your mind off of your work or to add a bit of lively cheer to any room of your home.

Choken Bako - Dog Bank

Whenever you put a coin in this dog’s dish, he gobbles it up with a relish normally reserved for real dogs and their biscuits. When you see how delighted this coin box is over every contribution, it’s hard not to put in all the change you’ve got. Before you know it, you’ll have saved up a small mountain of coins.

Cup Noodle USB Humidifier

This compact desktop humidifier looks just like a steaming cup of instant noodles, but its appeal goes far beyond its amusing shape. Because it creates a fine mist using ultrasound and not heat, you won’t accidentally burn yourself if you reach across your desk. It also uses an ultraviolet light to kill bacteria in the water, meaning it’s more hygienic than typical cool mist humidifiers.

And since it turns off automatically when it runs out of water, you won’t have to worry about it wasting electricity or burning out if you forget to unplug it.

Sega Toys Live Dream

The Live Dream is a totally unique musical experience. The jazz set and rock set each come pre-programmed with 30 songs which they can play back in rich stereo sound along with great light effects. But the coolest part of the Live Dream is what happens when you add or remove instruments from the stage. If you take away the drum set, you drop the drum track from the playback. And if you put an instrument back on stage, that instrument’s track is played again. It’s a great way to really understand the music and to appreciate the individual pieces that make each tune so special.

USB Japanese Garden

Between stacks of papers and office equipment, relax with a traditional Japanese garden with a fountain. USB powered so very convenient to have as office decoration. Observing and listening to the water stream will soothe your hectic mind and improve work efficiency.

Japan Liquid Lamp

Whether you’re looking for a single cool design piece to make your room pop, or whether you have a living room full of modern, avant-garde furniture, the Liquid Lamp is just the piece you’re looking for.

This unique lamp is designed to look like it’s melting into the table. Buy one for yourself to add a real conversation piece to your home, or send this table lamp to a friend who appreciates fun, modern design.

World Time Clock

A desktop world clock is ideal if your workday involves getting in touch with contacts overseas.

This modern desk clock makes picking your calling time easy – just slide the selector bar to check the hour in any of 18 major cities. With a built-in barometer, thermometer and humidity gauge you can see the weather at a glace. Add to all this a date display, time difference calculator and clean, modern design, and you’ve got the perfect office clock.
