At some Burger Kings in Japan now, you can sit in a personal booth, hook up your iPod, and listen to music. The little shower head thingy keeps the music contained within your booth so nobody will know that you're listening to cheesy pop songs.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

I doubt it really contains the music. The original article says that it doesn't really do so...
Still this is a nice way to combat those premium McDonalds that popped up in Tokyo a few months ago.

I have never been to MacDonald's or Burger King in Japan when I've been there. It just doesn't seem right. I wonder if the food is better than it is here?
