Bradcat's Japanese Culture Focus... Akasaka’s Android Maid Cafe

Japan is well known for it's bizarre features. One of these you may be aware of is the "maid cafe", a cafe you can go to be served food and drink by Japanese maids in outfits, and also play games with.

One maid cafe in Akasaka, Tokyo, has taken a new twist on this type of establishment. While the concept is still the same, this maid cafe is ran by emotionless robot maids from the year 20-something, who you have to spend time with, to teach them the ways of human emotion.

"By becoming regular patrons, customers can “load” their Androidols with extra “options”, such as singing karaoke on the in-café stage. The girls are also “programmed” with a personality type (cheeky little sister, otaku, etc.) so you can pick the right one for you." - Japan Today
