iPod to meet Tamagotchi

Japanese company Konami will issue this summer a curious LCD-based portable game in which the player "raises" virtual characters by giving them a "steady diet" of music:
"When the game, called Otoizm, is connected to a MP3 player, various characters appear according to the type of music being played. The game classifies music into 19 types, and the growth and type of character produced changes according to the type of music it listens to. More than 30 kinds of characters can be created."
