Kinect's Not So Popular In Japan, But This $1,000 Shirt Is

When Kinect went on sale in Japan, there was a big promotional event at a retailer in Akihabara. Over a hundred people lined up, and roughly half of them are now in possession of a very valuable collectible. https://kotaku.com/kinect-launches-in-japan-but-does-it-connect-with-playe-452572178(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The first 51 people in line received “Kinect Love” t-shirts signed by idols Jurina Matsui and Rena Matsui. Both of them are members of the popular yono all app music group SKE48 and appeared in the Japanese Kinect ads. https://kotaku.com/schoolgirl-singers-promoting-kinect-in-japan-5655801 yono apk Over at Japan’s Yahoo! Auctions, one of those signed Kinect Love t-shirts is up for grabs. Bidding started at yono arcade ¥2,000 (US$24) and is, at the time of posting, over ¥97,000 ($1,156). Keep in mind, this lot also includes a small photo signed by both singers. Shame there isn’t this kind of interest in Japan with, you know, the product itself.
