Japan’s singing Androids

A lot of people play music on their phones. But what about using those phones to make music?

Over in Tokyo, the Google Japan team gave it a go — stringing together 300 smartphones and tablets with 300 different Androidify characters singing the same song using only the device speakers. We call it “Android Chorus.”

If you happen to be in Tokyo, you can see the chorus perform from Thursday, February 12 to Sunday, February 15 at Omotesando Hills. Here’s a quick taste of the show:

300 different characters singing in perfect harmony is just another illustration of how Android is about being together not the same.
