My Japanese might be limited but I'm fairly certain that the text that pops up at :23 says something like "For lucky best wash, use Mr. Sparkle."

So, rather than spend the extra cash to have a screen on the remote control, they are going to have the person just watch the TV/computer to see what they are doing. As long as you don't use those buttons in the center very often, it should be fine, and it is great for making the technology less complicated and use less energy. However, I think what we all want is an iPhone-like device as our remote control that is smart enough to change the screen and know what is going on at the other side.

Still, my favorite part about this product is the use of two touchpads. Great way to avoid any obnoxious Apple patents on dual touch.
