Japanese Turning To "Therapeutic Ringtones"

Posted by samzenpus on from the take-two-calls-and-see-me-in-the-morning dept.

indiavision writes "A host of young Japanese are drawn to the allure of 'therapeutic ringtones' — a genre of melodies that promises to ease a range of day-to-day gripes, from chronic insomnia to a rotten hangover. Developed by Matsumi Suzuki, the head of the Japan Ringing Tone Laboratory, an eight-year-old subsidiary of the Japan Acoustic Laboratory, the tones are a hit with housewives as well as teenagers."

    Some people will be torn between therapeutic ringtones and violent and dangerous microwaves. So, uhm, is this good or bad? Help, I'm confused!
