What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn Japan, the Studio Ghibli shop chain Donguri Kyowakoku is releasing a lamp modeled on the one in the home of Osono, the baker in Kiki's Delivery Service.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt is called Transfixed Jiji, and it costs thirteen thousand two hundred yen, about eighty-three dollars, going on sale October thirty-first in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, F**uoka and Sapporo, and online.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo it's a real oil lamp?

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt looks like one. It is electric, and the main power switch is hidden on the underside of the base.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe off button is in settings, under three menus. That's a classic move.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have seen governments conceal less.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe lamp is twelve point eight centimeters tall, so the secret is small, and it is guarded by a cat.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentEighty-three dollars to lift a cat and find the off switch. That's a dark pattern with ears.
