Forget singing along to the radio. Control what you croon with a portable jukebox. Tomy’s Hi-Kara is being touted as the world’s smallest karaoke machine — just 14 cm to a side. Special cartridges allow you to download songs from Hi-Kara’s website, and the lyrics display on the LCD monitor.
The device comes in pink and white, and supports up to two sets of headphones. If you spring for the extra handheld mic, you can hook the unit up to a TV or speakers, crack open a mini-beer, and have yourself a little party. (Sarah Cortina/Metropolis)
Additional Information:
10,500 yen. Available at area toy stores.
