This is your face on Face Training


This promotional piece for Face Training has a bit of an infomercial vibe. Seems pretty appropriate for a wrinkle-reducing video game, doesn't it? The demonstration gives you a pretty good idea of what using Face Training is like: the game presents some kind of face for you to make, and a soothing female voice counts off the time to hold it.

After the demonstration video, News Japan anchor Christel Takigawa plays the game on-air, but mistakes the instructions for "giggle." The second video features Takigawa playing the anan game. Hard-hitting news!

More info on Anan

NamcoBandai shed some light on its collaboration with Magazine House, the Japanese publisher behind anan, which is a monthly periodical aimed at the Japanese female public. While we already knew this was coming, however now we have more information on the title courtesy of Joystiq's man in Japan Jonti Davies. Just like the magazine itself, the soon-to-be anan-licensed DS game (which is translated as anan Supervision: Quick Female Power Boost) is set up to help women achieve what they perceive to be their ultimate selves.

The end product will offer up 50 types of "ideal woman" and encourages self-reinvention through its three-month training course. How does the game do this, you ask? Well, it teaches qualities such as strength, cuteness and beauty through a series of daily lessons. The game is currently set for release this Summer.

Anan, a fashion-and-more mag, has hooked up with Namco Bandai to produce the latest female-friendly craze (at least, they hope) in Japan. A few screens have surfaced -- hit the jump to give 'em a peep.
