The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next , a tape reconder in the ved plays soft music. The tape reconder in Hiroyuki’s bed plays a reconding of his girlfriend. She whispers in a sweet voice: “Wake up, drling, please.” A few minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a reconding of his boss. His boss shouts, “Wake up at once, or you’ll be late!”
If you don’t get up after the second recording, a mechanical “foot’ in the will kick you in the head. The bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed!
