‘Scantily clad ladies get sexy with giant robots’ is an uncommon collection of words, perhaps for a reason. But that reason is fast slipping away into the cyberpunk night, because there are now cabarets in Tokyo where dancers share the stage with gigantic robo-women that look sort of like the villains in Smash TV.It is called ‘Robot Restaurant’ and it is a brand new popular destination in the city’s red light district.Reuters tells us that “the featured performers at the brand-new venue, which owners say cost 10 billion yen ($125.8 million) and took three years to build, are 3.6 meter-high, custom-made female robots with facial features controlled by the club’s women dancers.”Most of the patrons here are women, however, who giggle at the titanic absurdity rotating its mechanical joints before their eyes. Still, you have to wonder. Does this arouse anyone? It might; robots are omnipresent cultural forces that may get stirred up into our libidinous stews; perhaps a man has already pleasured himself in the still-clean bathroom stalls of the robot cabaret, dreaming of dominance from sexy automaton women.
