Seiko has announced a new Hello Kitty alarm clock, which triples as a thermometer and a hand mirror. The compact device (92×32×80mm) will go on sale in Japan this week.

It will wake you up with three different chimes. Kitty says (in Japanese):
- “It’s Kitty! You are still sleeping? If you oversleep, I will get angry!”
- “Good morning! This is Kitty’s morning call! Wake up!”
- “Puuhh, good morning. I am sleepy, too, but we have to wake up! Come on, come on!”

The clock is Nippon-only, but people living outside the country can (pre-)order it here for $49 plus shipping.
