Re: Teeth LEDs
#2I found http://www.instructables.com/id/LED-Throwies/ far more interesting than the teeth lights.

#3Some random Japanese trends are destined to go mainstream in the west, while others aren't. This seems to fall firmly into the latter category.

Calling this a trend is kind of pushing it. ;)
Publicity stunt by a fashion designer/store in Harajuku sounds much better.
If this winds its way down to Nagoya, I think I'm going to need to move to a different island.

#5I'm pretty sure people have been putting glo-sticks in their mouths to accomplish this very effect for many years. The concept isn't new.
Re: Teeth LEDs
#6I sometimes wish that people's personalities were printed on their forehead, so I could stop wasting my time on the obnoxious and stupid ones.
This comes pretty close to fulfilling that wish.

Yeah, the NYT runs one "Japan... weird, right?" story every three months, typically sourced off a single interview with a counterculture aficionado in Tokyo. Remember, e.g., anti-mugger camouflague dresses to turn you into a Coke machine?
My theory is that Japanese people are rich enough to count as white and rare enough in the NYT newsroom to count as Republican, which makes this OK by their lights. If the published an article on hip hop teeth as a craze sweeping the nation, they'd lose face with people they actually care about.

So snobbish, yet I completely agree with you.

#9The concept is not worthless: It could be a useful punishment to give these 'glowing teeths' to the avatars of cheating/bad behaviour players in your favourite online game.
It would have been a success in counter-strike!

#10These would be pretty cool with a few extra features. Say flashing in time with music or sound as you are speaking. Or wirelessly connected so that they sink and can act out 'symphonies' of light displays. Great for advertising!
