It’s a little after 2 am, and you’re heading home. It’s dark. You’re alone. Suddenly you catch the sound of gears turning, tightening some unknown part. The sound bounces off the walls around you, amplifying. You shake it off and walk a bit faster. You can still hear the gears tur – wtf? WTF was that sound? You run. It’s too late when you realize that you were heading towards the source of that sound, it’s too late, all you could think about was go fast, not where to, you turned a corner and then you find yourself face-to-face with this creature:

The creature’s mouth/face tilts back, it’s accordion lungs expand – there it is, the gears turning. You scream, but your voice is drowned by what you can only describe as an anime villain and/or pervert’s laugh.

The machine is called wahha go go, and I don’t know what diabolical inclinations motivated Maywa Denki to create this. I’m just thankful that the sound in the video wasn’t loud or I’d have yelped like a little girl at a Jonas Brothers concert. Although I also half-expected Happosai to show up, with a sackful of bras on his back.
