Oh my god!!! That is so Japanese. And the song he is playing sounds like a classic manga tune. Definitely hysterical! I wonder what happened to him nowdays…

I remember seeing the WABOT at the 1984 Tsukuba Science Expo on my first trip to Japan. If I remember correctly, it could play just about anything because it was actually reading the sheet of music. And I remember its voice being clearer.

Little does the writer know, WABOT-2 and Haile the drumming bot are much more advanced now and are critically acclaimed musicians under the band name Daft Punk.

Ooooh yet another article about robots that think it’s clever to make a joke about how robots are going to kill us.

Too bad, the article is actually interesting.
