Remember the massage pants? Well, automated massage seems to have taken a step further on from those with the Dainichi Auto Healther Reiz DZ-270: it's a robo-table that can massage you from your head to to toe. You just select your program from the touchscreen, lie back, pull the hood over, switch on some music on the built-in audio system and let its robot kneaders wiggle around under the bed surface. It's even clever enough to adjust its speed and pressure to suit which bit of you its dealing with, and has heating too. If you prefer your relaxation delivered with robotic precision rather than the fingers of a trained person, then you'll have to fork out around $13,500 for this. [Akihabaranews]

Can you pay a little extra and get a happy ending?
@cubensis: For that price, the happy ending better be included.
dammit, you guys beat me to it.
Props to the cute girl though, always love it when gizmodo doles out the girls with their super cool gadgets.
and Asian too!!! *drools*
sucky sucky $13,500 WTF :O
One step closer to automated pleasure. If you know what i mean. Wink. Wink.
13 large ones!? It better do my paperwork, cooking, cleaning, putting the kids to bed etc. etc. for that pricetag. Is it just me or does it looks really cheap? Like cheap plastic.
Shady jokes has already been served by previous posters so i will spare you for that.
Did somebody say Body Massage?
+ Watch video
hey kid, i'm a computer. stop all the downloadin'
@omfgitsdon: Porkchop sandwiches!
@cubensis:
I was too late... such diry moto minds
A form of this has been around for at least 15 years. When I was in high school, my chiropractor had one of these, and it would loosen me up before he did the more direct corrections. Felt great, but with no music or hood. You just layed in a dark room while it worked you over.
I would rather have the woman. She is probably cheaper.
Would you rather pay for Italian food, mixed drinks and a stiff jaw or $13,500?
13.5k or just whine and moan, and get a free happy ending*?
Hmmm... decisions, decisions.
(* = 'free happy ending' is heavily dependent on a complex formula of how much whining and moaning is done and the position of certain planet and stars and uh... other "various" factors)
How does it do the other side? If I have to roll over, that's not very automatic.
@LoganSix:
The machine has a spring mechanism built inside that tosses you upward like a pancake.
Ladies, you dont need to spend the 13,500, I'll do it for free!
.. im not creepy i swear!
@Mith: It even makes a "boing" sound thrown in for good measure.
@Mith: It has a "boing" sound when it flips you.
damn internet at work. I hate my job.:(
Those things freaking suck ass, I hate those automate body massage tables. For that price I'd pay for several years worth of visits to an actual massage parlor and get real attention, not a bunch of hard nubs pressing into me at predesignated spots which may or may not feel good at all.
Oh, and no, that girl is NOT cute...unless you have poor taste in women or like pasty, bland looking women.

I agree she is not as hot as the girl in this article.
the perfect addition to a tanning boutique.
@GOKOR: @potohead1: ya cuz you two don juans get hot chicks all the time.... lol personally I'm not sayin I'd let her eat crackers but I would'nt be so hasty to kick her out of bed
@potohead1: @GOKOR: Neither one of them is as hot as the one in this article. Maria Ozawa is so hot!
@Sergeant JoKer: [gizmodo.com]
@Sergeant JoKer: I have to agree with you on that. Face and body, she is much more attractive.
@GOKOR: Yes she is. Hard to believe she is a hard-core AV actress in japan. She does some really kinky and crazy stuff
Actually - my chiropractor already has tables like this, minus the integrated A/V stuff. That stuff is mounted on the wall in the room - so if one of his tables doesn't work, the A/V is still available to the other tables.
For $13.5K it ought to have one of those neat "scarab wing" covers like the sarcophagus on Stargate: SG-1.
Looks like it is made for slim people. What if you are too fat to fit into it? Does it come in a large??
whats up with the face guard? probably to hide the cringe of agony on your face as is turns you into a paraplegic
href="#c5299493">pupaboy3:
Brings up another good question..
Asian people are fairly short as well.. Does that mean anyone thats above 5'5 will no be able to fit into this machine?
