Subject: Japanese Robots, 1980s Style

There are some very impressive robots in this show, including one that lifts weights and another that reads sheet music and plays the organ. Much stranger are the oddly-shaped, somewhat organic-looking robots which appear to be in a stage show of some sort. A pair of somewhat phallic blue robots doing a dance of love with their hearts flashing is downright disturbing.
