Watashi-chan sound-activated inflatable clothing lets you simulate a blowfish

We're not going to claim to understand this, but you know how we love inflatable clothes -- which means we can't help but be intrigued by this entry into the Ima-karada art show in Japan, the Watashi-chan sound-activated inflatable shirt. Designed by Tomoko Ueyama, the outfit responds to six frequency bands of sound -- including one inaudible by human ears -- by inflating a corresponding balloon for one second. Since this is purely an art project, it's not meant to be useful, but that doesn't mean we don't want one.
